Ask the Readers: Call for Cal Writers
I’ve been putting it off long enough, and now with the new site design going in and Cal sports reaching a lull, it’s a good time to look for new writers. Writing seven times a week seems great, but the rest of my life has suffered because of this site. Eventually I’ll crash and burn, […]
Cal Sports Weekend Links
As much as I’d like to, I can’t report on everything…and for some reason, my auto del.icio.us weekly responder didn’t report the links I compiled last week. So here are spring links on Cal from a week ago. Mad Dog Blog – Mike Montgomery to Cal Berkeley! Mark Madsen has some preliminary thoughts. to mikemontgomery […]
Oh Yeah, I Won
If you have no idea what I’m talking about, I refer you to the Play in CA’s bold declaration. I treaded last place throughout the entire contest, but Kansas and Memphis pulled through for me, saved us from a Hansborough-Love slobberfest, and catapulted my bracket into an impregnable first. Everyone else had UCLA and North […]
“A Turn For The Awesome” (Ben Braun Memories)
Because I only caught the tail end of Cal basketball under Braun (the NBA consumes too much of my life to follow college in earnest), I can really add nothing to personal memories of Ben Braun. I just watched what I saw on TV, and it was kind of like watching paint dry, then repainting […]
Cal Sports Weekend Links
As March Madness rages, in between commercial breaks and CBS lunges, I thought you might be interested in some other Cal material. Remember when I created those primitive Pac-10 recruiting maps (here they are again)? Well, someone much better than me created something far more visually pleasing. Below are the 2008 HS and JUCO and […]
Cal Football Spring Links and BlogLove
All the winners of the CFBAs should have been announced today and I’d just like to say I hate you all for not finding a single award to put me in (I’d take Worst Blogger Ever, just give me attention). Ha, I’m just kidding! Congrats guys. If I ever met you in real life, I’m […]
Blue or Gold?
This site is overdue for a major rehaul, so I was happy to let LawVol from Gate21.com try out his hand at redesigning the site. He’s done a great job with the header, and I’m opening up discussion to my readers to help me choose which one to use and Which design do you guys […]
CFBA Ballot, Part II
Part I here. The Brady Quinn Award FOR: The prettiest blog. CRITERIA: An aesthetic appeal and usability. The best looking and most functional blog. Buckeye Commentary Eleven Warrors Orange And Blue Hue MGoBlog Rocky Top Talk Gate 21 I like MGoBlog’s design–absolutely functional and works perfectly within the contours, but they asked for the prettiest, […]
My College Football Blog Award Ballot, Part I
Generally, in many elections and choices for big awards, I like to keep my vote private. In this case? No way. I’m not up for anything and have nothing at stake, so the process be damned. And you always need more college football sources to read in your life. Best MSM Blog Greg Auman David […]
The Bears Are Whimpering (Reactions to the Big Game)
Some blogs handle defeat better than others. On a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being tolerable, 1 being intolerable, The Golden Blogs are a 15, Oski Talk a 10, TBIOOTF is a 0, I’m probably a 3, and Bruins Nation is -5000. Some blogs stopped writing after the Husky defeat, so I guess they’re […]
