Watch Cal-Arizona State Online…Well, Most Of It
Okay, here’s the deal. There will be a stream available Saturday night, but only for part of the game. Cal-Arizona State’s starting at 10:00 (kickoff at 8), but the person who will be streaming this game is also streaming Ohio State-Penn State, which will likely be in the 3rd quarter when the Bears and Devils [...]
Meeting People in College–What?
Excuses. We all have a thousand of them. It’s our way of postponing life, relationships, work, ideas, happiness. It’s often a hard road to find these five things. It’s a much easier road to say how how I wish I could’ve gotten there; I was just never good enough. I guess this is okay when [...]
You Can Never Be Berkeley Enough
The annual bizarro festival celebrating the madness of Berkeley is this Sunday. This photoblog of 2004’s marching will hopefully deter you from going (Warning: NSFW, or life for that matter). [Zombietime]
Even McClellan Mounted Stronger Offensives
I should have seen this coming. Either way, I didn’t really care.
While we didn’t mention race in our piece, the loquacious Avinash felt the need to make ethnic cracks regarding the robbery suspects. In his Bears Necessity post, he wrote:
Man, black people sure haven’t forgotten how to run. Not sure why they went UPHILL though…
Um, [...]
Armed Robbery On Campus Last Night
There are filtered reports of a shooting on the UC Berkeley campus. At the moment it seems that this is an isolated incident, but the campus is on lockdown.
Official report of the event is documented here.
EDIT, 11:42 PM: Reports are beginning to filter in. From The Daily Cal…
A police manhunt on the north side of [...]
I Want My In-N-Out Damnit!
I don’t disparage the Daily Cal news/opinions that often, simply because it’s an exercise in futility (they’re not going to get smarter if I criticize them), and Beetle does a great job of knocking them down a notch anyway. If you want an idea of their crappy analytical abilities, check out their shining Tennessee analysis, [...]
So, Another Three More Years Before He’s Homeless?
I’m not a very diligent human being. In fact, I could probably walk past a thousand people today and they’d all be working hard, brains clicking, and figuring out the problems of the Earth (aka some random bullshit to put on their next paper). But I learned awhile back that laziness doesn’t get you much [...]
Just When You Thought You Were Out…
In the past few months, I’ve witness almost all the possible buzz you can dig up about Allison Stokke, and I’m rather exhausted by the whole thing. I’d like to move on as soon as possible with reality, which is that she’ll be a damned awesome athlete. The only thing that would make me revive [...]
Does This Paragraph Make You Want to Quit Bottled Water?
Berkeley might consider themselves a bastion of the environmental cause, but man do they like drinking their bottled water. Obsessed with flouride, chemicals in the tap water, or just trying to be cool, the yuppies are always looking for ways to feel like they’re overseas and very trendy hipsters. It’s just so cool to [...]
Eating in Berkeley Closed? Check GopherNow
If you’re at a loss for figuring out what crappy joint to order food from after a long-ass cramfest of a study session, GopherNow might be just the website you’re looking for. Here you will finally understand that Berkeley does not operate like normal cities do on a 24 hour schedule. No, it is a [...]
