2/3 GO BEARS: Jeff Tedford is making good on his promise to get top
state prospects. http://Rivals.com says Cal has gotten commitments from
15 of the top 100 California prospects; only USC, with 20, ranks
higher. Tedford has concentrated on defensive players and emphasized
speed.
\_ Thank fucking god. It will be nice to have a respectable Cal
football team. I don't want to see us lose the Axe for another 7
years.
\_ Why do you care? I got my piece of paper, it served me well
getting a first job out of school, end of story.
\_ if Tedford does well, he may go to the pros as an assistant or
something.
\_ Yes, let's strive for mediocrity so Tedford can stay here
forever.
\_ that's not what the poster was implying.
\_ What's so big about Tedford? Bottom line is that
it'd be great for Cal to have a winning
football program. I could care less who the
coach is.
\_ Um, hello!? A good coach makes a huge
difference in college football. I guess
you weren't around for the Tom Homloe
years? Or maybe you've choosen to
forget, God knows I tried to.
\_ Read what I wrote. I care more about
having a winning football program than
having a specific coach. Tedford can
stay or go as long as Cal continues
to win.
\_ You should care b/c the two are
directly related to each other.
\_ Uh, no. There do exist other
coaches who can also win. Losing
Tedford to the pros is not a
guaranteed end all to Cal football.
\_ Soon it will be like basketball, where you can't get tickets
unless you are willing to sit in the worst corner of the stadium.
\_ Ah, but basketball doesn't have Tightwad Hill.
\_ I always heard it called "cheapskate hill". The only place
I've seen a bong as big as I am.
\_ I think the dopers call it cheapskate hill while the jocks
call it tightwad hill. Dunno why the difference.
\_ It's Tightwad hill. Dopers have problems using synonyms
reflecting their lifestyle while jocks are fascinated
by the word "tight". "Tightwad" puts them over the edge. |
