I have no idea why, but there’s a guy sitting in the first row of Comisk— er, Overpriced Cell Phone Field — wearing a Cal sweatshirt.
Bless him, whoever he is.

jason, the reason "why" is simple. it has suddenly become so fashionable to wear anything that is cal. i remember when it was all stanfurd this, and stanfurd that and to some degree it still is. nevertheless, if you ask them whether or not they attended the school or are longtime fans or fans at all, it seems a good many, (say 94%) just bought it to buy it... either way it is great because in many cases some of those proceeds go towards the university.
p.s. i have been doing some hard thinking, (imagine that, me, thinking?) boy did i overreact on the issue of ayoob’s play or pitiful lack thereof. i feel really quite stupid about the whole thing. i guess i just really have to remember that after all these guys are only human beings and not real cal football players like those of the waldorf era... (have great picture of pappy we should display on this site) this is the tedford era… national championship and berkeley just haven’t gone well together as of late... hmm... am i wrong gentleman? somebody tell me, tell ME, i’m wrong… but lay out a valid case in a true berkeley fashion…
CAL V O. ST. GAME
(Jason why don't you let me run this site or at least help? i can really give you a hand with it and be objective and appropriate. i know you have two kids and it's tough but what's going on man, we need you now more than ever!)
well, gentleman, i hate to say that i am the man... but it really looks like i had this one pegged all along. i have consistently said since the sac state game that ayoob was terrible and would drag this team into the gutter. finally, some people, but still far too few are starting to take note. we need to put pressure on the sports editors of every major bay area newspaper and sac bee to put the heat on t and ayoob. you can also personally email coach tedford at football@berkeley.edu if we do this maybe we can at least get tedford to put kyle reed on the sideline to watch games instead of wasting away redshirting. reed could play after ayoob has blown it completely, usually sometime in the third or fourth q. this would be a good learning experience for him. i mean where is the harm in it? look this top recruit riley is coming in next year anyway and not to mention longshore will be healthy. honestly, ayoob outta be moved to the flanker spot or maybe play like cordell stewart used to in the nfl. starting qb however, he is not! i have much more to say on the issue but i must watch my pro teams today and see how they perform. something tells me that they will fare far better than my poor baby bears have been. that is exactly how they have been playing, like babies, they need to grow up~! i know this is a young team and all but if the bears hope to have any success this year at this level they are really going to have to step it up a notch or two or three, sadly!
much love to all my fellow bear backers. if you are a member of the small but growing radical element advocating the currently “peaceful” overthrow movement of the ayoob regime please email me personally at steinsac@yahoo.com and maybe we can figure something out to get him the f**k out~! to any of you so-called sports writers, start acting like it and tell the truth about ayoob. i am not asking you to blemish the truth, to tell something that is a falsehood. yet i doubt anyone could seriously say that ayoob is anything but terrible. this team just can't be the babysitter for him. this is the university of california at berkeley, an institution known for having smart, mature earth shakers. whether in physics, politics, rugby and yes, even FOOTBALL, we got it all, until ayoob came to town… he rocked our special happy family in a bad way! i have chosen to just sit back and watch this insanity for too long, at least put levy in or let reed get a shot. i saw this kid in high school, he is freaking awesome. look at it this way guys, he couldn't do any worse than astupid, sorry ayoob played.
seth
p.s. sorry to be so harsh on ayoob but he brought it on himself with that cocky attitude, the idea that he was owed something by this team and his general smugness. the team doesn't owe him jack, he owes the team. after all, he has already cost them the season.
Seth, if you want to write your own blog, go ahead, but this one's mine.
