Cal Gals: Brianna Keilar

To ease the pain of watching the Bataan Death March that is the Democratic nomination race, I am offering up one of Cal’s finest to soothe the eyes. Brianna belongs in the upper elite with Erin Andrews as one of those journalists that break the scales on both beauty and brains.
Here’s Brianna at the 2005 [...]

Cal Gals: Morgan Webb

Morgan Webb is one of those Berkeley treasures that makes you happy to be alive. A true hot nerd who loves playing video games. She’s the only reason I’ve ever stopped to watch G4. She makes me feel love inside. She makes me hope that one day, I will be able to associate with [...]

Cal Volleyball All-Star of the Week: Angie Pressey

(Hat-tip to long time reader Danzig for the pictures)
As usual, I have overlooked other Cal sports over the past…seven months, and during this long, interminable offseason I hope to reward our good teams with feature posts.

So let’s start with the Cal Volleyball All-Stars. By all-stars, I mean girls with sparkling all-around bodies of work. This [...]

Cal Gals: Brooke Berry

If you thought that Iliana Fischer was hot stuff, it’s time to bring out the five-star recruits.

Here we have the authentic Berkeley feel with the flowery shirt and the UC Berkeley bumper sticker, right along with the 70s trucker. See, if the treesitters looked like this, I’d have more sympathy for their cause. Or at [...]

Stokke Inflation, Part II

Part I here.

Definition: Where a writer of a site spends an inordinate amount of time researching an article that gets a decent amount of traffic, then links to pictures of an attractive female athlete which receives about a hundred times more attention.
Oh well. I’m not complaining. It makes the site look nicer, that’s for sure.

Cal Gals: Iliana Fischer

The audience asked for beautiful Cal gals, and I have obliged. From the Superficial (and thanks to Bear Insider), meet Playboy Playmate and Psychology-grad Iliana Fischer. You can view better pictures of her from the Superficial link, but it seems the tiny dog gets the best of this image. This is just to show proof [...]

Introducing…Stokke Inflation

I think we’re going to have to come up with a new term for behavorial economists after another ill-informed list of hottest college campuses: We’ll call it Stokke Inflation.
Definition of Stokke Inflation: (n.) A drastic increase in the net hotness of a population based on small samples of beauty.
Example: Allison Stokke, who has managed to [...]

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 Bears–they’re tattooed [...]

Always nice to see that the girls get better urinals than the guys. That and other gems. [Berkeleyans for Cal Athletics]

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 [...]
