(No Ratings Yet)Better Know An Olympian II: First Blood (California Golden Blogs: Front Page Posts)
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 Ratings Yet)Thoughts Regarding a College Football Playoff (California Golden Blogs: Front Page Posts)
Posted July 18, 2008 at 8:26 amSince the inception of the AP poll in 1934 (and probably long before), college football fans have wondered which powerhouse team was the best in the country. The AP poll was created to generate interest in and sell newspapers, goals it has achieved admirably.
