A new week.  And a new drunk commenter trying to tell the world his thoughts.  Last week it was Goldblooded.  This week?  USAFGoldenBear.  Even American heroes aren't immune to the emotional disaster that was Jahvid Best's injury.  I've highlighted the best part:

But I don't think I'll put a Photo Essay together for this game.  I took a lot of photos of the various events and kept constructing ideas in my head.  Like when they had that goddamn stupid Odwalla race on the big screen (NO JOKE!).  But I just don't feel like putting them all together.  Monica's Dad (who I walked by and screamed MONICA'S DAD at several time without response, oddly) and Matt Chan have taken some great photos.  Like this one here from Matt Chan:

But my focus for that game has shifted.  I don't much wanna think about it anymore.  Seeing that horrific accident occur directly in front of me sort of changed my priorities in life.  Less about hating Stanford, more about hugging my wife.  But the show must go on.  So, here is today's DBD:

Women's Tennis player claims Indoor Championship:

NEW HAVEN, Conn. - No. 4-ranked California women's tennis sophomore Jana Juricova became the first Golden Bear to win the ITA National Indoor Tennis Singles Championship as she defeated No. 8-ranked Irina Falconi of Georgia Tech, 6-4, 7-6(4), at the Cullman-Heyman Tennis Center on the campus of Yale University, Sunday, Nov. 8. Juricova was just the second player from Cal to advance to the title match and prevented Falconi from becoming the first woman since 1985 to capture both the singles title at the All-American Championship and the Indoor Championship.

Juricova didn't drop a set on her way to capturing her second national championship; her first as a singles player. She secured Cal's fifth singles national championship and pushed her record against Falconi to a perfect 3-0 mark. Raquel Kops-Jones won the 2003 ITA All-American crown, and Susie Babos won the 2006 and 2007 ITA All-American championship title in addition to the 2006 NCAA singles crown. Juricova is the defending NCAA doubles champion with junior Mari Andersson. She first took out Falconi at the ITA Team Indoor Championships in a 6-3, 7-5 win on Feb. 14 before defeating Falconi, 6-0, 6-4, in the NCAA team championship round of 16 on May 15.

 

Use this thread to discuss all the fourth quarter action in the Cal-OSU game.  And discuss when Riley surprisingly shaved in the middle of the third quarter?  WHO SAY THAT COMING?!?!?!?!?!  And who knew that Syd'Quan had such amazing barber skills?!?!  Also, don't forget to vote in the Insta-Poll.  GO BEARS!

Use this thread to discuss all the non-beard-related third quarter action in the Cal-OSU game.  I think we've discussed that beard to death, haven't we?  Don't forget to vote in the poll, either.  GO BEARS!

Use this thread to discuss all the second quarter action in the Cal-OSU game.  Like how much thicker Riley's beard is now.  Now, it's definitely gotta get to Unabomber, right?  Right?  Don't forget to vote in the poll.  GO BEARS!

Use this thread to discuss all the pregame and first quarter action.  Like how thick Riley's beard looks.  Lumberjack or hobo?  Also, don't forget to vote in our Insta-Poll.  GO BEARS!

This week, Cal takes on the Beavers of Oregon State.  There are 2 SBN sites from Oregon, Addicted To Quack and Building The Dam.  Many people say AtQ is the better site, but many people are wrong.  While AtQ gets all the hype and is so flashy (giving all of their Masolithusiasts Playstation 3s!), BtD is the much more consistent site.  Year in and year out they continue to produce stable, quality work.  It is not as well known work, but every now and then they really show up Conquest Chronicles and everybody starts paying attention to them again. 

We thought for the OSU game, we'd do a Q+A with them.  Get their thoughts on this game, Building The Dam-style.  After the jump, see what their thoughts are on the game and whether or not Chip Kelly's face should remain un-punched.  And here are their answers to our questions!  GO BEARS!
