Posted July 23, 2008 at 4:49 pmCal recently signed OL Brian Schwenke out of Oceanside High School.

Posted July 23, 2008 at 3:05 pmWith the Pac-10 preseason media poll being released tomorrow at Pac-10 media day, I thought I would share my picks. This is a very difficult year to figure out the pecking order of the conference. More so than ever, the Pac-10 appears to be USC followed by everybody else. I basically see the conference broken [...]

Posted July 23, 2008 at 1:06 pmOk, so we learned a lot about our first 10 Olympians representing Cal, but there are many, many, many, many, many, many more. I wonder if there is a listing of Olympians by American college. I’d have to think that 40 Olympians is a strong contingent. Let’s get to it!

No, my problem is that I’m no good at gambling. I.e. I lose a lot of money. I seem to have terrible patterns at predicting who will win and even worse [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: “Walk the Line: What Vegas Thinks About Cal …

There’s only one catch: She’s leaving the injunction in place for another 7 days to allow an appeal to be filed. Of course the tree-sitters have promised to. The City of Berkeley will likely decide tonight [...]

Posted July 22, 2008 at 7:20 pmCal says it will not comment on Judge Miller’s judgement until tomorrow. The university wants to give its lawyers enough time to completely review the ruling. Again, it looks good for Cal, but the school probably is a little gunshy because this case has lingered on so long. The implications should be more clear in [...]
