(No Ratings Yet)Sustained Groundedness: Tribute to Natalie Coughlin (Bears Necessity)
Posted August 19, 2008 at 4:20 pmI don’t get a chance to dap many fellow hapas (and even more exclusively, fellow half-Filipinos), so it’s tight to see Cal’s own Natalie Coughlin casually add another six medals to her mantle. While the cyborg called Michael Phelps reduces his competition to flailing penguins, Coughlin flew right under our noses to eleven medals. She’s [...]ShareThis

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 …

When I started this, 2 weeks ago, Cal had 39 Olympians. Now, we have 45. You’d think that was cause for celebration, but it just means MORE work for me! STOP BEING SO GOOD AT PRODUCING OLYMPIANS, CAL!!! Also, does anybody know anywhere of a website that ranks Olympians by school attended? I really wanna know if 45 is …

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 14, 2008 at 7:28 pmWell, Cal has 39 representatives at the Beijing Olympics. And apparently, there could be more. Some other foreign teams are still working out the kinks of their team and some Cal athletes are in the mix there. But I thought for at least the currently known Cal representatives, we could take a look at them. Sure, everybody knows about Jason Kidd, but many …

Yeah, I dont think we are allowed to swear in titles now. Ai!
In honor of July 4th, we thought this YouTube Thursday could be enough filler to last the 3 day weekend, where many of us will be far away from computers. So, enjoy this slowly like a fine wine. It might be the only thing to get you through the weekend!
