Posted July 22, 2008 at 10:00 pmI have a gambling problem. Not a gambling addiction (other than one bad incident that I deserved, I’ve been fairly frugal with my betting habits).
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 …

Posted July 22, 2008 at 12:34 pmTwo of Cal’s three nonconference opponents have had its respective conference release its preseason media polls. Apparently, Maryland and Colorado State aren’t believed to do too well on the conference hiearchy.
Maryland was selected to finish fifth out of six teams in the Atlantic Coast Conference Atlantic Division.
Colorado St. was picked to finish ninth in the 10-team Mountain West [...]

Posted July 21, 2008 at 6:18 pmBeano hasn’t been around for a while, since I think he’s probably trying to get all of the Big East fans off his lawn. And his chat from last month never seems to have been added to the archives. Sorry.
As a result, I decided that in Beano’s place I would use Stewart Mandel’s mailbag from last week since it was more Pac-10 heavy …

Posted July 21, 2008 at 1:47 amThere is always a deterministic sense of following hometown teams. I would guess that the majority of Cal fans are also Bay Area fans (or SoCal counterparts), and their emotions fall and rise with the As and the Giants, the 49ers and the Raiders, Warriors and Sharks. You associate with these teams earlier, it’ll always [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: “What’s It Like Following A College Team?”, url: …

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. The ink spilled today (most of it now virtual) over the annual debate about the national rankings is impressive, to say …

Posted July 17, 2008 at 2:15 pmSince so few of the Cal games were picked up by the “big” networks, Cal has been aggressively courting the small ones to pick up the games. As such the WSU, Arizona and Colorado State games have been picked up, and they’re all going to be on “Comcast Sports Network - West”. That’s [...]
