Just walked by Chris Fowler at the GameDay stage behind the fountain.

He was trying to look very concerned about something, but the cut-offs he was wearing detracted a bit from the effort.

That’s because he gets to celebrate a special holiday, as it is International Talk Like A Pirate Day.

A couple of Oregon residents named John Baur and Mark Summers came up with the idea. They nicknamed themselves “Ol’ Chumbucket” and “Cap’n Slappy,” started the Holdiay 14 years ago, and got some national pub earlier this decade

Might as well. The Longhorn fans that make the trip to Berkley won’t face nearly as much culture shock as when the people of the dirt trip out to the land of earthquakes.

Nice attempt at a slam, but I went to Seattle, Eugene (by way of Portland) and the Bay Area (Sweet 16). Met up

Scipio, I’m thoroughly evenly keeled on this announcement.

They’re BCS home and homes, no doubt. I know I’d love to go to Cal, and as noted, Minnesota in September is nice. But OTOH, it’s not Miami, USC, Penn State-Michigan-Notre Dame, or the Upper Half of the SEC. The other thing that it’s not is Central

GAH! UCLA next year? I’m already sick of hearing the story that the insipid sports press has yet to begin repeating.

Glad to see Minnesota finally got their stadium. They’ve needed that for oh, only a couple of decades.

dick is correct, i was referring to the kirk touchdown.

also, its such a nice luxury when our offense plays like crap and colt is as off as we have seen him and we still throw for 167 in the first half. not that i dont recognize everything CA says and agree with most of

I would suggest that the biggest reward to look forward to as far as Muschamp taking over for Mack, is that Coach Boom will immediately ship GD’d bloated gin-pillows the hell outta Austin as soon as Mack can get “I’m stepping down” out of his mouth. See, don’t we all feel beter now?

it’s ok Ded, I hate Scipio too. We all do. But I can guarantee that Bird will be playing a lot of DE this game. Look on the bright side, he wont have to drop into pass protection. That’s good news right?

Based on my entries, Mizzou will play OU in the Championship game. I’ll be honest with you – I’m sort of tired of that.

Great work. Very cool.

Certainly, they (pros) should be more efficient because of both greater talent and greater practice, but this is not our biggest problem.

I will try to break down our zone blocking in the next couple of days.

I measure most of Mizzou’s non-con scheduling by whether it creates a good road trip for me. Unfortunately, due to unforseen circumstances, I am not able to make Reno this year, which when announced had me thrilled. The Tigers were supposed to make a Laramie trip either next year or the year after,

Cody has a big opportunity that he is blowing. Given that the horns force the opposition to play a bunch of small, fast defenders to deal with horns’ passing attack, a big (yet compact) back like Cody could do great running over the small faster defenders. Given his size, strength (yet low center

I understand UT is not a “downhill” scheme. However, the one cut aspect you mentioned is still there. I was listening to Dan Neil in the morning and he was describing the Texas running game and similar to Denver. The initial movement is parallel to the LOS instead of perpendicular but from

Getting in your three squares can be tough on game days. There’s so much excitement about the game, that one’s proper nutrition can be overlooked. On a long day, it’s critical (to use a favorite word of Coach Pinkel) to get a good base before the drinking commences. And of course, there’s no better way

Not sure if it was mentioned in another thread, but aggy just signed up for a similar home and home with USC and Oregon beginning in 2015.

I read somewhere (random comment) that USC had approached Texas and was rebuked. I cannot find any proof of this on the intertoobs. Anyone know what that’s about?

You bring up good points. I’d think the new regime would have ~2-3 seasons under its belt before 2015.

Cal’s recent records by year:

2000… 3-8
2001… 1-10
2002… 7-5
2003… 8-6
2004… 10-2
2005… 8-4
2006… 10-3
2007… 7-6
2008… 9-4

…Given the faith you have in Cal, I take it you like their current coaching staff and program. You don’t have to go back

I hope those human tree monkeys are there like they were for the Tennessee game a couple years ago. What a lovely sight they were.

Whither Frank Erwin?

The locals are very proud of their new outdoor stadium that seats 50,000. Now they feel they are truly in the big time. I just chuckle.

This is absolutely great news. Cal has been a quality team for several years now under Tedford. Not to mention that fan base hates Texas and Mack Brown a ton. I’d surmise Mack to be gone by then, but they will still think they have a bone to pick with us over the 2005 Rose
