some help for a complete moron

SoCal Oski — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 19:10:37 -0000

See here's my problem. Well, one problem, anyway. I have several. Okay, be fair, I have a multitude. Some bigger, some smaller. This one is actually one of the smaller ones. But it's a problem nonetheless. And I know enough to seek help for my problems. Well, the less embarrassing ones, anyway. The really awkward ones I keep all to myself.

Anyway, here it is.

You know, now that I think about it, this is really more a question than a problem. So forget all that stuff on top. I have a question. One anyway. I have several. Okay, be fair, I have a multitude of questions ... and so on.

My question is, how do I insert an image into a comment? When I try it asks for a URL. Do I just put the path on my local computer for the image, or do I have to actually upload the image to some website, then link to it?

It's all so confusing.

Is SC a "must win" game?

SoCal Oski — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 16:17:32 -0000

The short answer, I think, is yes.

Of course, there is a pretty important assumption that goes into this:

We lose to Ucla, ASU, and Zona

And it seems to me that's not an out-of-possibility assumption.

But back to the point, beating SC should ensure an NCAA tourney bid by giving us that magical 20th win and guaranteeing a top-half of the conference finish. .

Losing to SC puts us in danger of sliding out of the top five, and even with a strong RPI and solid conference wins against Zona, ASU, and Washington twice, the NCAA committee likely won't look kindly on a five-game slide and #6 finish (see: assumption).

Now naturally, Cal has a better than puncher's chance against Ucla, Zona, and ASU but out of the four, SC seems like the best chance to get win 20.

So, is it doable? Oh yeah. The first game in LA was close, and it seems we match up pretty well against the Trojans. And, considering their team right now is showing some big cracks and there's evidence of internal discord, it seems as if they may not be strong enough to pull out a big win on the road. Add to that our strong play at home, and the odds are with us. But then again, SC isn't a pushover, and the Bears have shown a tendency to sometimes have a prolonged streak of ineffective play (for lack of a better term).

All in all, Thursday will be a big day for this team. A win gets them into the tournament and makes this one of the most surprising and over-achieving seasons in Cal hoops in a long long time. A loss, and we may have to settle for another trip to the NIT hell.

The definition of "determination."

SoCal Oski — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 19:08:16 -0000

Apparently Bobby Bowden will be coaching at FSU again next year. That isn't a big surprise, I guess. After all, the money is good and having millions of toothless Florida rednecks revere you as some sort of god has to feel pretty cool. Oh, and the FSU coeds you get to screw is a nice incentive too.

But let's not kid ourselves. Bowden is back on the sidelines for one reason. He hates Joe Paterno, and will not stop coaching until he either overtakes him or dies. It's an obsession with Bowden. Even during games, when he ought to be managing his team or working with the coordinators about in-game fixes, he's constantly checking his blackberry for updates on Penn State games. He even has an old picture of JoePa taped to his bathroom mirror so he can look at him every day and get motivated.

This obsession is sick.

Someone needs to sit that old hillbilly down and explain to him that his place in NCAA football history is secured regardless of whether he gets more wins than Paterno. And that he will never again see the success of the 90's.

There really isn't anything quite as pathetic as a bitter old man still engaged in vendetta.

The Ghost of Tedford Past

SoCal Oski — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 19:20:16 -0000

Evidently those jolly Ducks up in Eugene still have nightmares about the one that got away! They recently announced a deal where their current OC (and Tedford wanna-be) will be the heir apparent to the Head Coaching job when Pornstache Bellotti finally retires.

The time table isn't firm, but apparently Bellotti will be heading for the AD gig in a year or two, and Chip Kelly will take over the Duck program.

Hopefully he'll have more spine in terms of saying no to silly unis and scary mascots.

Stanfurd Sucks

SoCal Oski — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 20:13:24 -0000

Note: Although the single greatest Big Game I ever saw was 1982, 2002 was special for a number of reasons. Ending the streak not the least. This was originally a post on a now-defunct Web site. Forgive the cut-and-paste.

Ah, Stanfurd. Does it suck? Oh yeah. You bethca. It sucks loud, often, deeply, and sloppily. It also swallows. It is the sort of place with which any reasonable person would be embarrassed to have affiliation.

See, Stanfurd is the sort of place you want to see bulldozed to make room for a manure storage facility. It contains the type of people who drive BMWs and take mortal offense if anyone satirically pokes fun at them. It is a place where you learn how to reconcile giving lip-service to populist philosophy while employing an illegal Guatemalan maid.

To begin, there is the campus. For some reason, Stanfurds find it a thing of exquisite beauty, while anyone with even a modicum of aesthetic sensibility immediately recognizes that it looks as if it was left behind by a passing herd of cattle suffering from a collective bout of particularly nasty dysentery. It consists of a hodge-podge grouping of mud huts and squat hardscrabble shacks, all in some shade of vaguely nauseating beige, built around their beloved "quad." The "quad" is, in fact, the center of their campus social life, and hosts such beloved traditional events as the daily Insider Stock Exchange, where Stanfurd undergrads can gather to let each other know if their parents are being investigated by the SEC and which stocks to sell immediately. The "quad" is also where Stanfurds can hear inspirational public lectures on how to properly correct your servants, or how to get that deep shine on the finish of their BMWs.

However, the real architectural centerpiece of the Farm (as Stanfurd Junior University is affectionately called) is their Hoover Tower, a feeble structure startlingly devoid of any vision, aesthetic quality, or redeeming nature. Named after Herbert Hoover, one of Stanfurd's most beloved alums, the tower encapsulates all the charm, prestige, and charisma of that man. In one of the truest examples of the Stanfurd gestalt ever put forth, Hoover, after receiving the presidential nomination of his party, said: "We in America today are nearer to the final triumph over poverty than ever before in the history of any land" and then promptly led the country into the Great Depression. Hoover Tower's flaccid shape hearkens not only to that shining Stanfurd legacy, but also to the half-erect phalluses and oafish sensibilities of all Stanfurd men, and is the perfect symbol of Stanfurd vitality and vigor.

But there is more to Stanfurd than a hideous campus, revolting student body, and embarrassing legacy: there is athletics! Ask any Stanfurd and they will go on endlessly about the so-called athletic tradition of Stanfurd. Whatever small amount of success they may have garnered in recent years is belied by decades of futility and cowardice, best exemplified by an event involving the Stanfraid Rugby team in 2001. Scheduled to play Cal (defending champions and owners of a considerable win-streak against the Stanfraid Ruggers) and faced with an inevitable thrashing and mocking of their limited manhood, they instead opted to forfeit. Citing fear of injury and a distaste for losing as cause, the Stanfraid rugby team, showing the same fortitude as a pack of Frenchmen hearing two children speaking German, simply surrendered weeks before the game. In a moment of stark honesty, then Stanfraid coach, Franck Boivert, said: "[we] are, however, very afraid to get injured and indeed fear for [our] safety."

Of course, that wasn't Stanfraid's first brush with abject cowardice. Way back in 1903, in the first ever Rose Bowl, the Stanfraids were getting their asses kicked by Michigan, with the score 49-0 by the third quarter. Rather than be men, maintain what little integrity, dignity, and honor they had, and play to the end, the Stanfraids just left the field, went to the locker room, changed back into their dandy clothes, sprinkled their soft flesh with perfume, and left.

Along with this monument to fragility and spinelessness, there is also the tradition of the Stanfurd Band and the Stanfurd Tree. The band, which gains notoriety from their "zany" performances and "wacky" uniforms, is in reality, little more than a collection of spoiled children. Their antics are the sort of cry of attention often seen from any pampered, coddled, over-indulged two year old. And, like the aforementioned two year old, the band's feeble attempts at being precocious quickly move from mildly interesting into irritating displays, and after ten minutes you really wish they would just go away. Yeah, it was cute when it started, but a little goes a long way. The same goes for their tree, but doubly so. This perpetually annoying mascot is a prancing jackass, animated by the little boy that best exemplifies the poncey, fancy-lad spirit of Stanfurd. Like all Stanfurds, the tree irritates, aggravates, and minces, displaying a level of appeal usually found only in pinworms or maggots. However, it does serve as the perfect mascot of Stanfurd Junior University: it is rarely fully erect, it tries far too hard to draw attention to itself, and for all its macho posturing and false bravado, it will curl into a ball and whimper uncontrollably whenever confronted, as it did during one memorable basketball game, when Oski beat the ever-lovin' crap out of it.

Yet, for all the irritation and aggravation oozing from Stanfurds regarding their ugly campus and repulsive traditions, easily the most annoying aspect of these people is the hype with which Stanfraud Junior University promotes their academics. True, the faculty at Stanfraud are among the most noted in the world, and the student body tends to skew toward the upper end of both the SAT and egotistically inflated curve. However, the dirty little secret of Stanfraud is the fact that, for all their chest-thumping and yowling about their academic standards, it is impossible to fail out of the Farm. At any other regarded institution across the country the students must work hard to earn their grades. But not Stanfrauds. See, they have a system there where, should one of their "students" find themselves facing the prospect of earning anything below their entitled A, they may drop their class up to the last week of instruction. Ho ho! What an advantage! The reason is simple, and I will present it in the stylized form of an old Junior High Geometry proof:

Given: Stanfraud students do not fail out of class
1. Stanfraud admission standards are very stringent.
2. Only the highest quality students meet the admission standards.
3. High quality academic students do not fail out of class.
5. Stanfraud students are incapable of failure.
6. QED

Go Bears!

Problems all around

SoCal Oski — Sun, 16 Nov 2008 16:35:58 -0000

Yesterday's game was a really strong underline to and confirmation of the fact that this year's Cal team wasn't quite ready for prime-time. And let's face it, we probably all knew it, too. A team doesn't lose the likes of three really solid receivers, a couple of stalwarts on the O-Line, and a dependable stud running back and expect the offense to just pick up and not miss a beat.

That being said, the talent did certainly tease us with it's potential and promise of what might be. Especially after being seduced by the huge opening day win, and a stomping of a really inferior opponent. But even then, we could see past the seduction: Cal couldn't sustain a drive against Wazzu, and it was the big play on D and special teams that really beat MSU (and Oregon, and Ucla, and ASU ...)

But reality has a way of showing up, doesn't it? In the sober light of morning, that hottie you picked up in the bar after your fourth Golden Bear reveals herself to be kind of homely. And the Cal offense is proving to be kind of ugly too.

And then, depression sets in. The ugly chick is knocked up, and Cal's offense sucks. Of course, it's not quite time to pick up that seppuku blade just yet. There are two very winnable games remaining (if we lose to Washington again this year, you can pick up that blade), and what could be a Holiday Bowl berth waiting for us.

Of course, none of that addresses the problems. Silly penalties at the wrong time. Inconsistent (and sometimes crappy) OL play. Dropped balls. Choosing the wrong hole by the RBs. Overthrows, underthrows, behind the receiver throws, missed open receivers, etc by the QBs. Brain farts by the D on seemingly every single third and greater-than-7. And special teams collapses.

Of all these, I feel least worried about the RBs. Best & Vereen (and Slocum, maybe) are already studs and with good OL play could be racking up huge numbers. The receivers will get better as they get more comfy with the QBs (and Tucker is emerging). Hopefully Riley will grow from this year and prove himself to be more Kyle Boller than Joe Ayoob.

But still, JT has a big task in front of him for next year. The OL hasn't really shown any level of skill (and that's saying something when it still has Alex Mack on it), and we are losing three LBs off the defense (and maybe one all-world DB if SQT leaves early).

All in all, in retrospect and after a night of reflection and a couple of giant cups of some yummy Major Dickason's blend, it seems to me this Cal team is performing about where it should be this year. It could have been better (and maybe should have been), but I think most of us figured a 7 or 8 win season.

And as far as yesterday ... well, OSU is a good team, and they just managed to pull away in the 2nd half. And it was all those Rodgers kids, too. Congratulations to them on a good win and a great season. They deserve their success. And we deserve our mediocrity ... at least this year.

Can Cal beat the Beavs?

SoCal Oski — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 21:30:27 -0000

Ahem.

Getting away from the more onanistic implications, the question really is about whether Cal has a realistic shot at beating OSU on Sat. The short answer is yes. The long answer follows.

What will it take for Cal to win? Pretty simple. We need to play better than them. Oh, you want specifics? Sure. with all apologies to Hiro Nakamura, in order for Cal to win on Sat the trick is "Stop the Quizz, save the game."

Here's what I think it comes down to.

1. OSU Running game. Cal's D has to make the effort to stop the run, and I think they can do it. They completely shut down the rushing attacks of MSU, Oregon, Fucla, Wazzu, and ASU. In each case, Cal forced those teams to try and beat them with the pass, and they simply couldn't. The one game which really stands out by it's absence is Zona. Particularly if you make the argument that Quizz and Antolin are similar runners. Accepting that as truth, the difference is that Cal's D was forced to pay far more respect to the Zona passing game, taking away the focus on the run. Which leads to the next point ...

2. The OSU Passing game. The Beavs are not even close to being as horrible as either Oregon or Fucla in the passing game, but they also aren't as proficient as either $C or Zona. Regardless of which QB plays for OSU, they'll be competent, won't take risks, and will avoid silly mistakes. But they also are not likely to make the huge play. Moevao gives the Beavs a stronger threat to run, but then Cal did pretty good against another running QB from the state to our immediate north. And Moevao, while being a good QB, has been prone to forced throws. In fact, pure luck bailed them out a number of times against $C.

3. Cal's O-Line. OSU has a good defense, but not an exceptional one. Teams have put points up on them, especially teams with a balanced offense. Here is where Cal's O-Line needs to be strong. If Cal can give Best & Vereen holes, and provide some protection, Cal can score - regardless of who is playing QB for us.

4. Corvalis. Reser Stadium has been very kind to us Bears for some reason. The real key will be whether the Beaver fans will be as hyped up for this game as they are for either $C or Oregon.

Now, all of these are way easier said than done. Especially points 1 and 3. Stopping the OSU running game will be tough, and establishing the Cal OL dominance even tougher. A few big plays by special teams wouldn't hurt, and a TD from either them or the defense would really help. Overall, this is a winnable game, but only if Cal plays like they did against ASU or MSU.

2nd Fave Pac-10 Team

SoCal Oski — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 18:47:16 -0000

So, we've already gone over who we think our most hated rival in the conference is, and we've also hashed out our own personal little Cal histories. But during the past couple of weeks, particularly when we thrashed Bye Week, I started wondering if there was any sort of consensus on who our 2nd fave team would be? Is there as much sibling love as hate for the babybruins?

My own #2 is Oregon. Not sure why, though a couple things come up:

1. They gave us Tedford
2. They seem to be the only team not named U$C that seems to be a perpetual contendah (instead of a bum ...)
3. They have some really ugly unis, which are strangely compelling

Anyway, that's my story

Neuheisel's Magic Chopper Ride

SoCal Oski — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 04:02:53 -0000

Desperate times call for desperate measures

Apparently the intrepid and oh-so-gutty bruin head coach decided to draw a little attention to himself (and Ucla) by taking a helicopter ride out to see a potential recruit play a game.

The plan was for the chopper to hover about 25 feet above a baseball field adjacent to the game, and for Neu to leap out of the chopper, wearing a flight suit, carrying a banner reading "Mission Accompished: The Football Monopoly in LA is Officially Over!"

He'd then wrestle an alligator, save a kitten from a tree, and sing the national anthem while women threw their panties at him and grown men wept tears of gratitude.

Okay, maybe not an alligator.

The good news is this stunt wasn't paid for by our tax dollars (evidently some Ucla booster supplied the chopper). But how ridiculous is this whole thing? A chopper ride? Seriously?

Ah well ... I guess Ucla is a firm believer in the whole Hollywood thing about publicity stunts and all.

I'm just waiting for him to drive a tank into a game. I bet he'd look really super-cool in one of those helmets.

DBD 9.9.08 Zoo News Has Failed Us All

He especially failed me. But he ESPECIALLY failed us all. But he E.S.P.E.C.I.A.L.L.Y failed me. SoCal Oski writes:

At least CougCenter showed up.

Has anyone been over to the Maryland blog? I mean, other than the dozens of colonies of crickets that seem to fill every nook and lonely post? Pretty grim over there. I doubt very much there's anyone over there who will want to come play with us.

I suppose it may all be for the best though. I mean, what would we call this week? Testudo-tickle week? Yeah, that's about our level.

I'll look past the snide insult and realize that people miss CougCenter Week. They miss that halcyon age of class, dignity, and segregated baseball. They want a return to the golden age of CougCenter week. When the trees were still up and you could get 5 bees for a quarter. Oh, those were the days.

But, it's OK. CougCenter Week is over. We have to move on. We have to move on to Turtle Week. But we can't! We can't, because Zoo News has failed us all. He hasn't provided us with a showcase of his amazing Photoshop skills.

Leaving it to me (which is how he has failed me). But I don't have Photoshop. I don't have anything fancy like that. So, I have to show off my MS Paint skills. And when I say skills, well, I think you can judge for yourself.

A) We got the "Soft Shelled" turtle, even more intimidating than normal! And notice my hilarious pun!

B) We got the "Cute Baby" turtle!

C) We got the "Mentally Slow" turtle! And a shoe he's violating.

D) And we got the "John McCain" Turtle. He actually leaves that other turtle there for a richer, blonder turtle.

So, make your selection below and let's get Turtle Week (not to be confused with Trutle Week) on the road! First item of business: Playing Truth Or Turtle! (not to be confused with Turth And Trutle!)

So, make your choice and lets get to some links:

Some more information on Cal v. Maryland:

Cal-Maryland Connections
Cal WR Nyan Boateng and Maryland QB Josh Portis were both on the 2005 Florida Gator roster ... Cal CB Chris Conte and Maryland LB Stephen Hargett (both sophomores) attended Loyola HS in Los Angeles ... Maryland special teams/tight end coach Danny Pearman was an assistant coach with Virginia Tech in 2003 when Jeff Tedford earned his first bowl win at Cal (52-49 win over the Hokies in the Insight Bowl) ... star power will also be on display at Byrd Stadium, as Cal's Zack Follett and Alex Mack and Maryland's Dave Philistin and Edwin Williams are on the Lombardi Award Watch List ... Worrell Williams along with Follett and Philistin are all on the Butkus Award Watch List.

Cal Men's Golf kicking butt!

SAN FRANCISCO - The University of California men's golf team has set its sights high for the 2008-09 season and in Monday's opening day action at the Olympic Club Collegiate, Cal tore up the course, building an 11-stroke advantage in the 15-team field.

Seniors George Gandranata and Michael Jensen are tied for the lead after the first two rounds at 141 (-1). Both players shot opening round 71's and followed with 70's in the afternoon session. Sophomore Stephen Hale is just behind the senior Bear duo with an even-par 142. The Cal trio are the only golfers in the event not shooting over par on day one.

Cal's team score of 568 is even par and 11 strokes ahead of second-place UAB (579, +11). Xavier is in third place at 582 (+14), while Colorado (583, +15) and San Diego (584, +16) round out the top five.

Water polo's Frank Reynolds is a veritable god:

WOODLAND, CALIF. - University of California senior attacker Frank Reynolds has been named the Nov. 8 Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Co-Molten Player of the Week, it was announced Monday by MPSF commissioner Al Beaird. Reynolds shared this season's first MPSF player of the week honor with USC freshman goalie Joel Dennerley.

A 6-2, 179-pound team captain from Santa Ana, Calif., Reynolds was a key performer last weekend as the No. 1-ranked Cal men's water polo team went 4-0 at the Navy Open in Annapolis, Md. Reynolds finished with a team-high 11 goals in the four matches, and added four assists, three steals, three ejections earned and two field blocks. He also had a team-high three goals in the No. 1-ranked Bears closest match, a 10-6 win over No. 12-ranked St. Francis. Reynolds helped Cal outscored its opponents 59-20 over the weekend - an 18-6 win over Bucknell, a 13-4 victory over No. 10-ranked and host Navy, the 10-6 defeat of St. Francis and the 18-4 win over Johns Hopkins. The Bears are now 19-0 in five seasons competing at the Navy Open.

Women's golf is doing great, too:

FORT COLLINS, CO - The University of California women's golf team is starting off its 2008 fall season on a strong note, leading the Ptarmigan Fall Classic with a 19-under 557 after 36 holes. The Golden Bears, playing at the 6,207-yard, par-72 Ptarmigan Country Club in Fort Collins, Colo., are paced by senior Shannon Yocum, who is tied for first with Colorado State's Emily Child with a six-under 138 (71, 67). Fellow Cal standouts Allison Goodman (72, 67) and Pia Halbig (69, 70) sit tied for third with five-under 139's.

The Bears' other two competitors, freshman Angela Villela and junior Roseanne Niven, also performed well as Villela is tied for 11th with a two-under 142 (73, 69) and Niven is tied for 36th with a four-over 148 (72, 76). In fact, Cal's 557 36-hole score broke the school record by 20 shots, surpassing the Bears' 577 shot at the 2003 Stanford Invitational. Cal's second 18 holes of Monday's Ptarmigan also broke a school record as the 273 score in the afternoon broke the 282 shot by the Bears at the 2004 NCAA Tournament.

Okanes has a few notes:

So far, Maryland has a seven-point home win over Delaware and a 24-14 road loss at Middle Tennessee State. Considering this uninspired play comes against teams from non-BCS conferences, the 23rd-ranked Bears, coming off a 66-point outburst, should feel pretty good about themselves.

Maryland has been a pretty good program this decade. They’ve had a couple of double-digit win seasons and have been to bowl games in four of the past six years. But times are evidently lean right now.

Maryland is making some changes:

Considering what happened the previous night in Murfreesboro, Tenn., it wasn't surprising to hear Maryland coach Ralph Friedgen say yesterday that he is considering making some changes for Saturday's noon game against California (2-0) at Byrd Stadium.

"I'm going to have to marinate overnight on that and think about it and get some guys in the right spots maybe, getting a little more production," Friedgen said on a conference call.

Friedgen declined to be specific, but one of the changes could involve quarterback Josh Portis.

It isn't clear whether Friedgen is considering starting Portis after Chris Turner threw three interceptions in Maryland's shocking 24-14 loss to Middle Tennessee State, but Friedgen said he might get the Florida transfer into the mix more against the Golden Bears.

So, make your choice below. Let's get Turtle Week going! Dump Away!
