The Yosemite Fire is spreading and not contained as of this writing. Here’s a Cal / UC Berkeley update As I was on the Cal Alumni Board and Awards Committee (1998-2003), I just received a memo from CAA’s Executive Director Jefferson Coombs on the status of The Bear’s Lair and Pinecrest Chalet given their proximity […]
Gotta say it. Looks really bad for Cal Football to have never hired a black head football coach. Not that new Cal Football Head Coach Sonny Dykes is bad hire, but when this blogger learned we passed on Hue Jackson, it took the luster off the selection of Dykes. This, even with the fact that […]
I learned that former Dallas Cowboys Tight End, Chicago Bears Head Coach, and current ESPN Analyst Mike Ditka suffered a mild stroke, reportedly brought on by worries about his son, who’s facing his fourth DUI charge. The news brought back memories of how well he and his staff treated me on the October 16th day […]
Cal Running Back Brandon Bigelow broke Twitter. After Cal’s 28 to 35 loss to Ohio St., Bigelow, who was the seventh highest Twitter Trend, fell off Twitter, then the entire social networking platform shut down.

Robert Birgeneau. Cal football fan? Yes! As word goes around that Cal Chancellor Robert Birgeneau announced he would step down from his post, but remain as a teacher at UC Berkeley, I can’t help but go back to the times he made himself available to this video blogger to celebrate Cal Big Game wins. So, […]
The Cal – Stanford Big Game is today! The 114th Big Game is at Stanford this year, and for the second year is one that’s expected to be a blow-out in Stanford’s favor. Stanford needs to win this game to get a major bowl bid. They’ve only lost once – to Oregon last Saturday. The […]
The Stanford Oregon Game was not for The Cardinal. The previously 4th ranked Stanford Cardinal lost to dropped four spots to 8th ranking in the AP Top 25 after being outran by the Oregon Ducks, 53 to 30 Saturday night. It was a disappointing game for Northern California football fans, even Cal fans, who wanted […]
The headline above was almost “Colorado Shocks Cal 34 – 30,” as the Colorado Buffalo’s, under a well-called final drive in regulation, use a combination of reverses, passes, and runs, to almost score a touchdown, but got close enough to set up a field goal to tie. Cal ran out the clock, talking the game […]
I don’t know if it’s intentional or not, but the City of Oakland’s starting to exhibit a memory problem. To cut to the chase, then work backward, Oakland Mayor Jean Quan is reporting that P. Lamont Ewell was the Oakland City Manager when Deanna Santana came to Oakland as an intern in 1995. Nothing against […]
GO BEARS! The dream scenario – Cal’s baseball organization on the brink of elimination by its own university, get’s 11th hour help from Cal donors, then wins The College World Series – is on an ‘Are you fucking kidding me?’ path to reality. It’s California vs. Virginia in the College World Series, tomorrow at 2 […]
