There’s Gonna Be A Big Future in Plastics
“Sandy, let me tell you something. Something that you want to hear.” “What is it?” [youtube PSxihhBzCjk] It’s going to revolutionize everything. Even seismic retrofitting. It took decades of research, experimentation and head-scratching, but a team of San Francisco engineers says it has found a way to save the beloved landmark in Strawberry Canyon, which […]
It Is Done
You know what. Full petition here. Jubilation reigns.
If Marshawn Lynch Was A Treesitter…
I tried reading this editorial in good humor, but then the writer started invoking Goodwin’s Law and my mind blanked out. Once someone analogizes Hitler massacring half of Europe to cutting down a bunch of old oak trees, you’re probably going to lose me. Clearly this woman was speaking in some sort of nebulous third-world […]
The Very Small Game (Cal-Stanford Soliloquy)
Look, I know what week it is. I know who we’re playing. I know it’s a big deal to every big Cal fan out there, especially those who were graced with the awesomeness of Holmoe. Retain the Axe and all that. Good good good. I couldn’t care less. That isn’t because I’m done following the […]
Cal Athletics Everyone!
Always nice to see that the girls get better urinals than the guys. That and other gems. [Berkeleyans for Cal Athletics]
Tomorrow is A Good Day For Revenge (Cal-Arizona Soliloquy)
[youtube XGhl5KS6fy4] November 11, 2006. One of the 5 worst sporting days of my life (I’m sure for most Cal fans it’s tops, but I’ve crossed paths with Nick Anderson, Robert Horry, Peja Stojakovic, and Wychek to Dyson. So it’s easy to say I’ve been here before.). Sometimes it’s best to move forward by looking […]
The Bears Are Roaring (Blog Reactions to Louisiana Tech)
Bear Talk: One thing is for certain: The offensive line continues to do the job. Yes, there were a few false start penalties, but the line provided running room for Justin Forsett and gave quarterback Nate Longshore time to throw. Cal’s O-line has been a strength all season so far. As a matter of fact, […]
Quick Hits, Cal-Louisiana Tech
Here are the ruminations from the beatdown of the Bulldogs. –I’ve been noticing it more and more, but Longshore tends to hesitate on his passes. He takes his steps back in the pocket, steps forward…then…waits one step too many to unleash the ball. It’s as if he’s trying to make the perfect throw when he […]
Nate Longshore, Airing It Deep
No official confirmation, but it looks legit (who the hell would want to fake taking Pilates classes and Ling 1A with an awesome teacher?)–Nate Longshore’s blog is up. Say what you want, but the man does seem to have a full load on his plate. And that Fall Camp Schedule definitely provides a little peak […]
Time To Start Growling (Cal-Louisiana Tech Soliloquy)
[youtube C-eKvxbrA_o] See this up there Cal fans? This was you two weeks ago when the Vols came a calling. Not hard to understand why you seemed a little groggy–in Week 1 you always seem to need a little cajoling to get those voices howling. You’ve been in hibernation for nine long months, waiting for […]
