Posted July 31, 2008 at 3:48 pmNot that we should be surprised by this, but watch list after watch list keep getting released and Cal keeps getting shut out. This is a big change from last summer, when it seemed like I was getting press releases every day with more news that a Cal player was on a watch list.

Posted July 31, 2008 at 3:28 pmWell, then. Our running YouTube Thursday routine has been going for quite a while now and we have yet to show off what is easily America’s #1 greatest resource:

(No Ratings Yet)Worrell Williams (BearTalk)
Posted July 31, 2008 at 11:15 amESPN.com’s Ted Miller posted a Q&A with Cal linebacker Worrell Williams today. Nothing groundbreaking, but still good stuff. One interesting note is Williams thinks that Eddie Young will be the fourth linebacker in the new 3-4 defense. Based on last year, I would think it would be Mike Mohamed, who is listed as the starter [...]

Well, then. If this Better Know An Olympian is anything like it’s namesake, it’ll be incredibly dated in 30 years. But if this Better Know An Olympian is anything like all the other shlock I write, it’ll be an insult not only to the fine men and women who represent Cal in the games, but also …

Posted July 30, 2008 at 3:30 pmStephan Volker is not a man for reasonable discourse. He is a man of bluster and histrionics. After Cal received the favorable ruling, he had this to say:
Volker said he is confident of eventual victory. “I have prosecuted over 100 appeals, and prevailed in about 85 percent of them,” he said.
Hmmm. Sounds impressive. 100 appeals. 85% success rate. Maybe this isn’t just bluster, …
