Another Weekend Update
This is just a hodgepodge of a few things that I want to note. First, I would like to congratulate all the Bruins everywhere. Thrilling game...even better when you watch in person and pretty much lose your voice yelling and screaming. So anyway, just wanted to say I somewhat pity those of you who went to Cal for undergrad or went to a school with a shitty athletic program so now you're jumping on the Tedford bandwagon. Tough luck. Better luck next year.
Second, I had one of the weirdest flights ever (even by Southwest standards) on the way back. The person who sat next to me was the same person who sat next to me on the way to LA. As we marveled at this amazing coincidence, the person in the aisle seat got into the conversation, and as it turns out, she's the person hired as Eric Abrams' replacement. She's looking for Boalt mentors for admitted minority students who request such mentors. I don't have her contact info, but if anyone's interested, drop by Room 5. And of course we had a flight attendant who could seriously moonlight as a comedianne. Turns out she worked for 17 years as a psychiatric nurse. And I quote, "At least the people here get my jokes."
Lastly, the fame of this blog is truly global now that the DailyCal has a sentence about the OCIP post in today's paper. I'm tempted to make glossy copies of this and the Daily Journal article to hand out as promo material during call backs.

The game was such a heart breaking defeat. It called to mind the way I used to feel when Holmoe was the coach. Tedford is a great coach, and far be it from me to criticize his general brilliance, but I saw him make his first mistake on Saturday. With 1 minute to play Ayoob threw an interception. Cal used its 2 timeouts while trying to stop the Bruins.
Heres the thing, the proper play is to allow the Bruins to score on the first play. It burns no time off the clock, and gives them only an 8 point lead. Cal gets the ball back with a full minute plus 2 timeouts. All we need is a touchdown, and a 2-point conversion. Not likely, but it is the only way to leave Cal with a chance to win.
Oh well even the great coach Jeff Tedford must make a mistake once in a lifetime I suppose.
Gina Amato. She's great.
Anonymous, I concur.
JC, I agree with the timeouts. I think this was the first game where the inexperience of Cal actually showed. As a silver lining, the talent also shone through as well. I wouldn't be surprised if they win the Pac 10 next year.
Go BRUINS!
gina amato rules, she's, she's a musical genius.
cal will not win a pac-10 title next year nor any time in the distant future. remember the two teams down south, young capable of replacing talent, and oh yeah, in the national championship hunt. cal? good luck getting into the silicon bowl. or the holiday bowl, they look as awkward on the field as boise state's blue turf. tedford is not a great coach, he's pretty good at best. but whatevz, GO BRUINS!!!!
or near future for that matter, what i'm trying to say is cal ain't winning, but i'll be rooting for them against 'sc, although my money will be on 'sc.
