Agreed. Shit, I wonder if I have any street team points?

Anyone want to buy shirts using my street team link?

Yeah I met a girl from Cal once.

Smoking hot, but dumb as a brick. She didn't appreciate my commentary about how Dick Cheney is really a cyborg from outer space bent on destroying us all.

Seriously, I was laying down some hard truth & backing it up with facts, and she couldn't believe it. What kind of students do you turn out at Cal?

Can you please explain what exactly this does? Probably ordering my shirt today.

Do their shirts run pretty true to size, or small?

If you buy through his link he gets 2 (I think) street team points for your purchase, which is like $3 off his next purchase.

Their shirts are pretty comparable to American Apparel, so slightly smaller than usual. I'd say if (for example) a small shirt from a store is snug on you, then you should probably go up to Medium.

BTW, bluemax, you can give yourself street team points. I've been doing it for years. Log out of Threadless, then follow your own Street Team link to the site and put stuff in your cart. Just log-in right before you purchase. I haven't bought a shirt from there in almost a year so they might have fixed this, but it has worked for years for me in the past. This means that basically all of your purchases should be $3 off forever.

Sure, if you click the link and buy a shirt, I get free credit on their site that I can use towards purchasing something. I think its like 3 points or something for every shirt purchased with my link, which equals like $2 off?

Yeah they used to use AA but not they use their own brand or something. I've bought plenty of shirts from them and they all fit nicely and have held up pretty well. I'm like 5'8" 185lb ish and have mostly bought Large shirts from them if you want a size comparison.

Thanks for the heads up about the street team thing, I'll have to try it.

Yes, I did. THE FACTS MAN! THE FACTS!

This Cal education thing. I feel that UT should do a study into this pressing issue. It can be used as further support in your argument as to why you decided to forego the academically inferior Pac-12 for the academically superior Big 12.

I was near a really dumb blonde at the UT vs. UCLA game. She was decked out in UCLA gear, annoyingly loud, and occasionally cheered for a good play by UT. Her UCLA boyfriend had to explain the rules to her on occasion, and it took her a few minutes to understand she should not have cheered for UCLA when Case McCoy threw a 50 yard pass completion, even though a UCLA player tipped it.

"Hi! I'm Craig James and I accepted money and gifts while at SMU! I totally promise they were small ones, though. Totally promise."

Former ESPN college football analyst Craig James, jumping into the fray of Texas' Senate race Thursday, said he accepted "an insignificant amount" of gifts from Southern Methodist University supporters when he was a star running back at the Dallas school three decades ago.

Asked at a news conference whether he'd taken money or valuables from boosters, James said, "It was an insignificant amount that I had when I was at SMU. It was wrong. And I was 18, 19 years old."

James declined to specify what gifts he accepted and how much money, nor from whom

After hiring an Oregon St. alum away from Oregon St. (to coach the same position no less) UW's defensive staff contains 4 guys from the three northwest rivals.
DC and LB coach, graduated from Oregon.
DL/ST, graduated from WSU
DB coach, graduated from Oregon St.

If they somehow steal away Cal's DL coach, their best recruiter(also a Cal alum) this might be the most trolololol defensive coaching staff ever.

Sounds like a longshot, and he already told them no, but rumor is that they aren't giving up and have offered him a Co-DC position along with DL and upwards of $1 million.

The only thing more boring then watching SEC football is beating the huskies every year in what use to be a fun and exciting rivalry, now it just sad. Who do you think will be Oregon's new rivalry over the next ten years or more?

Ted Miller (3:15 PM)

Ohhhh... don't take Washington for granted. The Huskies used to do that with Oregon in the early 90s. How did that go for them?

Keep in mind we still lead the series 57-41 with 5 ties, despite the fact that they've won the last 8 and 13 out of 17.

One mil for a D-line coach (co-DC would be in title only, Wilcox will be calling all the shots) is crazy. I think it'd be worth it, though. He's an unbelievable recruiter and he'd be in line to take over at DC, since Wilcox will probably be leaving for a HC gig in 2 or 3 years, and probably taking Sirmon to be his DC. Hope Sark gets it done.

Yeah. It also helps that the AD is completely self-sufficient.

AD has always been self sufficient, never stopped previous AD's from hamstringing the program. Woodward make it clear he was serious about football when he cut the swimming program(wish he didn't have to but it was way too much money to spend without on campus facilities). Hiring a just been fired Ty Willy was a great sign that the people in charge didn't use to give a shit about football.(last ever comment about the shit from the past for me, just getting it off my chest.)

You check out the construction cams lately? Spooky and a little surreal with the stands completely gone now.

Fairly credible Cal source says there was indeed a U Dub offer out for Tosh, though it's not clear it was that high, and he turned it down.

Dude is crazy enthusiastic about Cal--part of what makes him such a great recruiter. I think it might take a DC offer to move him.

The rumor of the moment is that they've gone back after he had turned them down with a higher offer and Wilcox has offered to have him be the Co-DC with the understanding he takes over if/when Wilcox moves on to be a head coach.(would love to take 3 different schools' best recruiter in one off season.)

I guess since it's a long shot(probably no shot), I should start looking at who is the best recruiter at some other Pac 12 schools since I'm sure those guys will be the next targets for the last open position.

An insignificant amount of gifts?

1) a car

2) an envelope filled with cash

3) a donor's credit card

4) a swank apartment

See? Only four gifts...an insignificant amount of gifts, really.

Threadless has released a set of 11 University mascot shirts. Some of these are insanely cool. Also there's one for Illionis...

Here's a few of the better ones. USC Warrior is my favorite. Simple and clean, but also awesome looking.

Really hoping they add more. The ones in this initial set are all pretty great. I'd love an FSU one.

Kind of a random assortment of schools there. Most are pretty cool, though. I bet they could do a really fun one with Brutus Buckeye.

I think the USC shirt is fucking amazing -- that is probably the best shirt on the entire site frankly. Reminds me of a Mondo poster.

I do appreciate that they chose a dude who is on the tubby side for the UM photo. Anything to laugh at them.

So who do you guys this WVU gets as their D coordinator? It seems like everyone I hear are the same guys Clemson, Auburn, and UT (who just got their man) wanted. I'd heard rumblings of Randy Shannon at WVU, but I find it quite far-fetched. Shannon was (supposedly) hit with a trash can from the upper deck of Mountaineer Field while coaching for Miami in the mid-90's. I find it hard to believe that happened because the guy would have to have one hell of an arm with pinpoint accuracy to boot. Anyway, the story goes that he sued the school. I've never found a news article about it, but a coworker who is in the know with all things WVU football swears it happened.

The WVU boards say that is AD Oliver Luck's man, but Holgorsen has another list with Brian Stewart of UH and Will Venable at Oklahoma.

I know we're getting Joe Deforest from OSU, but I'm not sure what position. I think it's possible he'll take a co-defensive coordinator position as he was special teams/associate head coach.

FULMER CUPDATE: SOUTH CAROLINA, AS USUAL, FIRES FIRST

The first points of the 2012 Fulmer Cup are awarded to South Carolina for the arrest of Byron Jerideau, a redshirt junior defensive tackle arrested in Columbia's vortex of minor criminal behavior, Five Points. (Blake Mitchell nods, and sips a beer quietly in the corner in your honor, Byron.) Jerideau's arrest for "disorderly conduct" early Friday morning comes without details of exactly how disorderly Jerideau was, but the mugshot from the Richland County Jail is pretty special all by itself.

Congrats South Carolina!
