Highlight reel......or, highlight REAL!!!!!

I was going to call it Brittany Boyd's awesomeness video, but it really WAS a team effort. I only caught part of the game, so this was my best look. We looked awfully athletic next to Iowa, but ND will be a different story.

I LOVE the video production you see on the Cal Women's BBall site. Would love it if other sports had the same PR, especially softball. If you haven't seen it, check it out here.......great stuff.

Go Bears !!!!

Bears Win in Hawaii!!!!

HONOLULU - With a three-run fifth inning, the No. 1/2 California softball team earned a crucial 3-0 win over No. 21/22 Texas A&M on Wednesday afternoon at Hawaii's Chevron Spring Fling.

The Golden Bears move to 22-0 overall, making them the only undefeated team on Oahu after No. 6 Texas defeated previously perfect Hawaii 4-0 on Tuesday evening. Texas A&M drops to 16-8. With the win over the Aggies, the Bears are now 5-11 against A&M in the all-time record.

Forward Alex Morgan, from Cal, has made the U.S. roster for the 2011 World Cup.

I'm sorry to report that, according to SF Gate, DeNesha won't be returning to Cal.  While I'm much more disappointed about the impact to Cal than for the opportunity to gloat to you nay-sayers out their, I really would have made the most of that opportunity.

Sounds like she's off to the SEC.....  http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2011/05/01/SPEM1J9TLO.DTL

I'm sure you will all join me in wishing DeNesha the very best.  I hope you'll go easy on me for hoping for hopeful things.  

At the Cal website there is an update on the Memorial Stadium construction ("Memorial Stadium Moves into Next Construction Phase").  The photo gallery pix are AMAZING, especially if you really didn't have the full concept of the scale of the project (like me).  All that's left of the West side appears to be the outer wall. 

It's gonna be a loud year for those International House students....

Go Bears!  Go Memorial Stadium!

With all the glee and rejoicing of the men's game, I didn't want to lose sight of the fact that our Women's team won last night, too.  Admittedly, the outcome of this game was much less in doubt given that OSU is 0-8 (now) in conference and have only about 2 scholarship players (in basketball, anyway; they recruited a 6'2" VBaller for help) who survived the LaVonda Wagner iceburg collision.

Okay, this guy is awesome !!!!  Check out the story here: http://www.calbears.com/sports/m-footbl/cal-m-footbl-body.html

Rivera was THE stud when I was a kid watching Cal football.  I got his autograph numerous times.  If memory serves, the big question was whether he or Jack Del Rio was the best Pac-10 linebacker.  USC ran a fake punt, hiked it to JDR, who was quickly tackled by...........Big Ron.  Case closed.

Cal has not lost a set during the entire NCAA tournament.  Swept USC is dominating fashion last night.  Robin Rostratter won the Elite 88 award (highest GPA in each sport participating at the finals site).  Coach Feller is national Coach of the Year.  Carly Lloyd is in the running for national POY award today.  Pac-10 Champions!!!!!!  TAKING ON PENN ST. IN THE CHAMPIONSHIP ON SATURDAY !!!!!!!!

(And for all the talk of USC's youth, we have two senior and one junior on the team; the rest

are underclass(wo)men.)

I live in Portland, OR and I want more RECRUITING NEWS !!!!!!  Who are we pursuing?  Who's given us verbals, strong or medium, an interview with Tosh, why should someone come to Cal instead of USC, what are our recruiting needs (TE?), what is the impact of each recruit, how do we get so many top linemen (I LOVE our lines!!!!!!), who did we swoop from somewhere else, who swooped us, etc.  More, more, more.  Love the site; thanks.
