Oregon guard Jabari Brown leaves Ducks basketball program
Pure speculation, but seems like it might be similar to our Gary Franklin situation from last year. If he wanted to come home to Cal, would we want him (or even need him)?
ASU's New Uniforms
HT to EchoOfSilence on California Golden Blogs
is it just me or do the design of these unis look too much like ours?
Barkley can be better than Luck
I saw this and find the title and first couple paragraphs very interesting. Unfortunately, I don't have insider access, so I don't know the "Three fixes to USC's offense could have Barkley challenging Luck as Pac-10's top QB" according to KC Joyner. If anyone has Insider access, would love to hear what it's all about...
No. 1 USC Men's Volleyball Goes 5 Sets Second Night In Row To Beat No. 2 BYU
#1 men's volleyball played #2 BYU last night and won in 5 sets for the 2nd night in a row. With basketball's upset of Washington, it was a great night for USC athletics. Was at the Saturday game and the atmosphere at Galen was great and the boys didn't disappoint. Just wanted to give one of our less highlighted teams their due...
The ESPN store has some cool shirts of NFL players and their college ties in their "Where It All Began" collection. Pretty cool to see that two bears--Aaron & Desean--were selected for it. Check out the shirts... LINK: http://www.espnshop.com/family/index.jsp?categoryId=11221914
Saw that this was rumored to be our new away kit for next year. (Source: http://www.boxofficefootball.com/new-liverpool-away-kit-white-and-blue-hot-or-not/)
Personally, I don't like it at all. Blue & white?? Those are Everton colors!
ASU's Steven Threet calls it a career
Not much to say but its a sad story. Probably a good decision for him. Don't know what it means for ASU next year but wish him the best...
Raheem Sterling FA Youth Cup vs. Southend (02.15.2011) Highlights
Nate from Houston writes: Happy Valentines day, USC. Everybody knows you are a top 25 academic institution (ranked higher than UCLA) and also the most storied college football program of all time - 11 National Championships, 31 bowl victories, 6 Heisman, 74 NFL first round draft picks including 5 #1 overall picks, 29 college hall of famers, and 11 NFL hall of famers. In fact, the only team that even comes close is Alabama and just ask Bear Bryant and Sam Cunningham how that competition unfolds (not only are you better, but you also lead the country in civil rights)....not to mention that most of your application rejects would be scholarship students there. I love you through thick and thin, in sickness and in health - it is kind of funny though that your past few years of sickness would be considered health at most other colleges. Love is not just about passion either. Love is also about trust. I trust you. Even though others insult your integrity (out of jealousy), those of us who pay attention know that one student's mistake is not representative of the school (however, 10-20 students' mistakes might be - Oregon & Florida). I forgive you for all transgressions and stand by your side. You are beautiful, intelligent, kind, and will always be my love.P.S. It's sexy that if you were your own country, you'd be 9th in the world in Olympic gold medals...and that the 2 best defensive players in the super bowl were yours.

Green Bay, 24-15. I've got to go with Green Bay since Aaron Rodgers is from Cal and I root for the Pac-10.

In all 3 videos, he shows his skills, confidence, affability and even gets in a little flirting time with Marisa Miller in each video. Enjoy...

Tarah Murrey's improvement sparks Cal
Nice little piece on Cal Women's Volleyball star, Tarah Murrey on ESPN. Good to see them getting some national recognition now that they're in the Final Four. Beat the Trojans tonight! Go Bears!
Alex Morgan scores for U.S.
Alex Morgan, the star forward of the Cal Women's Soccer team, scored in extra time of the away leg for the US Women's national team to give them a 1-0 aggregate lead against Italy in their World Cup qualification playoff matchup.

I don't know what to think of this except it sure will make the Pac-10 interesting... I can't wait to see Neuheisel, Harbaugh and Kiffin talking trash about each other. Let the drama ensue.
A ESPN Outside the Lines story focusing on what we all already know about the violence in and around Oakland and Berkeley and the effect on the Berkeley Junior Bears Football Team, a Pop Warner team based in Berkeley. Their unis look very similar to the Cal unis and most of the people in the video are wearing Cal gear as well.
Hopefully, if any of these guys become players, they'll realize their potential and destiny as Cal Golden Bear athletes. Even if they don't make it as D1 athletes, hopefully they'll make it to UC Berkeley.
Mike Tepper on Tedford, Fan Goals & Overall Team Performance
Pretty good read with Tepper's comments after the disappointing loss tomorrow. He's been around the program for 6 years so I his opinion is definitely worth something.
I tend to agree with him. Sure, sometimes it seems like he offense is a bit conservative. But the players need to make plays. The perfect plays and coverages can be called but when guys don't execute, we see what happened in our 5 losses (and a few of our wins) this season.
Editor's note: Also check out Berkelium's awesome postgame coverage on the Twitter. Take a look at all the notes he got last night from Holley, Tepper, Tedford, Gregory, etc.
Report: USC coach Floyd submits resignation
Wow, USC basketball went down the drain real quick. That program looked to be on the rise after Nick Young and Pruitt to OJ Mayo to DeRozan and then to Renardo Sidney. In a matter of a month or 2, the whole program has really fallen apart...
GSoM Group Project: DeMar DeRozan Full Scouting Report

on Golden State Of Mind
So here it is...finally. The DeMar DeRozan scouting report. I know you all have been feverishly checking GSoM over the past couple weeks in eager anticipation of this. All joking aside here are my thoughts on DeRozan.
I might update this later on. I had emailed Paragon SC over at Conquest Chronicles (the USC SB Nation affiliate) to get some additional information about DeRozan from people who have seen him play more than I have. However, his basketball writer was on vacation and he is a busy person, so I don't want to bother him too much.
Also, is it just me or are you getting tired of the draft already? Normally, I love it but with all the discussion on here and people trying to sell 10 different players, I just want to get it over with. To much speculation. Anyway, here goes:

Bryce Harper (Move Over Buster Posey?)
This kid is a high school sophomore catcher (3B is secondary position) and apparently has every tool known to man and then some. (Links to YouTube videos in article).
I know--there's probably only like a 5% chance he actually develops into a quality major leaguer and he's doing this with an alumninum bat but this kid is darn impressive.
Maybe we should tank next year so we can get him in 2011? No, no...just kidding. Really, I'm kidding...
Jrue Holiday's effort, defense and rebounding. i'm really warming up to this guy
Warriors 2009 Draft Prospects
by gogoldenbears on May 20, 2009 4:58 PM EDT
on Golden State Of Mind
EDIT: Added a profile on PG Jonny Flynn who Doug Gottlieb of ESPN has us taking in his mock draft. Added some more analysis post-lottery to Earl Clark, James Harden, DeMar DeRozan, Jrue Holiday and Brandon Jennings, who seem to be fan favorites and 'realistic' targets at the 7 spot.
I am quite a draft nut and am one of those guys who loves the draft in every sport. Some people think it’s incredibly boring, but as a Warriors and 49ers fan, the draft is what give us a glimmer of hope for the future. As a result, I read pretty extensively about most of the draft prospects and so forth. I am not able to watch all these athletes extensively throughout the year, but here is a quick summary of what I have seen & read about some of the lottery prospects and my thoughts on how they might pan out and fit with the Warriors. The quality kind of declines towards the end, unfortunately. It took way too long to write.
I know these options could/will diminish drastically in a few hours when we find out our pick and can diminish even more on June 15, when players who didn’t sign with an agent can choose to return to school. Still it is fun before then to analyze the players in the 2009 NBA Draft and decide once and for all who our pick should be.

Jrue Holiday vs. DeMar DeRozan
Top 50 Players to Build Around
Pretty interesting idea for rankings. There are 3 Warriors on there-- Monta (#33), Randolph (#35) and Biedrins (#39)
Cal UDFAs
I don't know if this is relevant to the 49ers, so someone can delete it but here is an update from the California Golden Blogs about where the local Bears went. Looks like Rulon Davis, who many fans wanted, landed with Mike Nolan and the Broncos.
Cal's Christopher to see if he's NBA material
Some of you may have already seen this, but here's a pretty interesting read about PC deciding to test the draft waters. I think its a good opportunity for him to work out in a lot of the pre-draft camps, but all signs point towards him coming back for his senior season. After fouling out with 10pts and a poor shooting performance yesterday and just not being NBA ready period, we should see him back unless he gets a first round guarantee (unlikely).
On another note, Jerome and Theo sound like they'll be back (I don't see why not) and Jamal and DJ Seeley quiet any rumors (which I had never heard before) that they might be transferring.
Also some tidbits on Harper Kamp's knee...
