Posted July 24, 2008 at 9:43 amPac-10 media has begun. Tom Hansen has made his opening remarks and Washington is first up at the podium. Coach Tyrone Willingham and quarterback Jake Locker are fielding questions.

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!

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 2:11 pmI’ve been meaning to mention that the new Pac-10 blog over at ESPN.com is pretty good. Ted Miller, formerly of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, runs the blog and he’s spent the past week or so ranking the different positions in the conference.

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 2:23 pmI meant to post this earlier. It is a Cal season-preview by Blue Ribbon Yearbook and ESPN.com. It originally appeared on ESPN’s website about 10 days ago.
