Welcome to the DBD , the W4C community comment board where one can talk about almost anything.
Oski the Bear first appeared in 1941, but he is named after the “Oski Yell”, a late-19th century cheer.
Oski Wow-Wow!
Whiskey Wee-Wee!
Olee! Muckie-eye!
Olee! Berkeley-eye!
California! Wow!
The origin is uncertain, but the University of Illinois claims it originated in 1899. However, UC Berkeley yearbooks document how the yell was used as an anti-temperance/prohibition protest cheer before then, hence why “whiskey” is mentioned. Oski may be a goofy anachronism of a mascot, but he is our goofy mascot. I don’t like him, but I still love him.
The domestic airlines sure are price gouging. PHL to SFO is over 1000 round trip over the summer. Even BOS to SFO which has multiple nonstops is over 1000. It's almost cheaper to fly internationally.
My romance friends are going to a conference in July, so I considered flying out to DC to hang out with them, but flights are like...$1200. So, I'm staying put.
We booked our mid-May trip to LA in the winter when tickets were ~400 per person. The prices are insane now.
Relatedly, I'm going to Hamburg, Germany for work in July and prices aren't too bad. Cheapest ticket I've seen from Philly to Hamburg has been ~400 on British Airways, but flights back are quite a bit more expensive, usually 800-1000 (unless I want to pay half-price and have a 13-hour layover).
We bought our house 7 years ago and refinancing early last year while interest rates bottomed out is probably one of the best financial decisions we've made.
I bought another house two days ago. It won't close until Nov-Jan timeframe, so this is going to sting. Mortgage rates are already over 6% and may be +7% by then.
My dad will still be out of town, but we'll celebrate Taiwanese Father's Day on August 8. Eight in Mandarin is ba, so August 8 is ba ba, and that's when Taiwan celebrates.
Will be in Japan!!! So probably spend the day being hot and humid :-/
But hopefully NOT watching Game 7 of the Finals (i.e., close it out tomorrow, Dubs!). Altho the Sunday Game 7 is Monday morn in JPN.
With that, any chance that United has the capability to show the game on their screens? We take off around noon tomorrow and land at NRT at about midnite PDT. I've watched Giants playoff games on planes, but that was likely something like JetBlue or VA domestic. Not sure how/if it could work over the Pacific.
I asked my daughter if she'd watch it with me, but she wants to watch Encanto. It's a long flight...she can do both! :-)
we're spending a night at NRT airport, so maybe I'll hide in the lobby for a couple of hours.
4 years ago, I was in the hotel lobby of a Kansai Airport hotel at like 8am watching the Dubs fall way behind and then come back and beat the Rockets in Game 7 (sorry...iirc, you're a Rockets fan). under normal DVR circumstances , I'd have FF a bunch of it, and therefore not enjoyed the win as much. the stress of the comeback made it sweeter!
I don't need the sweetness this time...I'm fine crunching it into a 90 viewing, and hoping it's a win!
We are taking our family vacation starting on Friday. Two days at Disney World (including Father's Day), then driving the east coast of Florida from St. Augustine south to Merritt Island then Miami. Can't wait!
This show is so much fun. I love that it's just a roman-a-clef but around a Pakistani American girl in Jersey City . . . who also happens to have powers.
Don't take this as me making an excuse, but my opinion is that Cal, for various reasons that are not the fault of Wilcox, was more impacted by covid than most other football programs.
Oh absolutely. And no reason to rehash - Cal was definitely more adversely affected by COVID in ‘21 than most teams…with various factors being involved.
Exactly. If he could field even an average, middle-of-the-road Power 5 offense, 7-8 wins a year would be a lock. But he can't, so pretty much every game is a total coin toss.
Until they change the rules of payments to players, it's tough to see the Bears landing any elite recruits in the era of the NIL, considering Cal is a non-factor on that front...but it'd be nice. I think building in the trenches with 3* recruits is gonna be the ticket for this staff. Field a consistently solid OL and DL, and the other players will rise....
I just hope Wilcox is more prepared for the COVID interruption that you know will ABSOLUTELY impact the 2022 season at some point...it looks like the lack of preparation was the difference in a bowl game last year.
How would changing the rules of payments to players change the landscape for non-blueblood programs in FBS football? And would those rule changes hold water in the legal arena?
Also, regardless of the rules re: NIL, Cal has another obstacle to overcome - indifference from the campus administration. The faculty at Cal has often been hostile to athletics and has influenced the administration from time to time. The most recent public example of this was the attempt to cut some sponsored sports in September 2010 (most notably baseball; and demote rugby from varsity to club status).
Exactly - the legality of any type of legislation that would in any way affect or potentially limit the compensation athletes can receive for their Name, Image, and Likeness is one of the main, hot button issues. The NCAA neither received nor provided any tangible procedural framework to deal with the NIL, and it’s basically created a pay for play, with just a handful of schools really benefitting.
No arguments on the institutional hurdles both athletes and the department face at Cal...it’s one of the main reasons why I’ve adjusted my dreams and now view the pinnacle of bowl trips to be that of the Sun, in lovely El Paso. I do so long to see Rose’s Cantina, and to kiss Felina Good-bye....
Oh we are not getting a 5 star QB. What I mean by winning the lottery with a QB recruit is we get a bit less heralded guy like Aaron Rodgers who then tears it up. The Arch Mannings of the world are not going to be frequenting top dog, especially not now for the reasons you cite
Exactly…and while it’s nice to be in Rashada’s top 5, it’s gonna take unique circumstances to get that type of player under the current rules. I think Jack Plummer tho can be a passable game manager type, provided he has some time to throw.
The short history of elite-level recruits from the Pittsburg/Antioch area that have included us in the final cut but chosen to go elsewhere does not bode well for us. Najee Harris and Joe Mixon come to mind. There are probably others.
Texas US Rep district 34 flips Red in a Special Election. First GOP elected in that district since 1871, which included parts of Oklahoma 36 years before becoming a state. Mayra Flores is Mexican born and will represent a district that is 84% Hispanic.
MAGA gets a split decision in South Carolina GOP primaries. Rep Tom Rice lost to Trump-endorsed Russell Fry in a landslide. However, Nancy Mace defeated Trump-endorsed Katie Arrington.
Boebert being investigated for 38,712 miles worth of mileage reimbursement for 2020. Full time truckers drive about 100k miles/year, which means would have been driving 40% of the time all day long.
The same group that leaked dirt on Madison Cawthorne has issued allegations against Rep. Lauren Boebert. According to the unverified allegations - she had an abortion at age 17, worked as a stripper, and then escalated that work to being a paid escort to help bail out her failing business. She was a "sugar baby" for a member of the Koch family, through whom she was introduced to Ted Cruz. She had her second abortion around this time, which includes a non-zero chance was Ted Cruz's. Cruz paid her $70k, convinced her to run for office, and then helped her raise money. The Primary election is in two weeks.
Cal's Camryn Rogers threw her personal best at the NCAA Championship, re-setting the NCAA record. It was farther than every throw at the last summer Olympics, bested only by the eventual winner Anita Wlodarczyk. Wlodarczyk is a legend - holding 15 of the top 16 throws of all time - but she's on the downhill slide of her career because she's currently 36 years old. Wlodarczyk suffered a fully torn thigh muscle injury chasing down someone who tried to break into her car last Friday and still wants to compete in the 2024 Olympics. It may be a competitive event between Rogers (CAN), the Americans and Wlodarczyk (POL).
Tony Gonsolin continued to run roughshod over the competition, and he had to be thanks to the Dodgers offense. Gonsolin lasted his deepest into a game in two seasons on Tuesday, making the Dodgers’ paltry offense hold up in a 2-0 win over the Angels at Dodger Stadium.
The Angels only managed one hit against Gonsolin, a fourth-inning single by Shohei Ohtani, but he was caught trying to steal second base. Gonsolin worked around a pair of walks over the rest of his night, and pitched into the seventh inning for the second time in his career.
Gonsolin allowed no runs in 6⅓ innings on Tuesday, striking out six, his fifth scoreless start of the season to lower his MLB-best ERA to 1.42. In six starts at home this season, Gonsolin has allowed three total runs in 33⅓ innings.
Who'd a thunk that the two aces of the Dodgers pitching staff this year would be Gonsoln and Tyler Anderson; a combined 16 and oh..............................
Umpire Nate Tomlinson was injured in the 9th from a shattered bat from Mike Trout. He was cut, but was able to walk off under his own power. A scary moment.
Giants hang on for a 4-2 win over the Royals thanks to Logan Webb's arm. Giant Tyler Rodgers has been pretty hittable over the past month with a 2+ WHIP and 8.4 ERA.
He's been incredibly hittable, tho oftentimes it's on soft contact, with a fair share of just well-placed infield singles...still, you let that many people get on base late in close games and bad things tend to happen, despite how weakly the ball is hit....
Streaming could work for soccer, in that you won't likely miss anything during long buffering interruptions. But then, since their might be only 1 or 2 scoring plays in an entire game, you could completely miss anything that mattered in any single buffering episode.
I haven’t had any buffering issues with any of the major streaming services. With that said, I recognize streaming a live event is more difficult than a movie or show. However, I watched some of the MLB games on Apple TV and I haven’t had any buffering issues.
I have buffering issues using chromecast using the MLB at bat app on my phone I get buffering but not with the Roku that's in the TV. What's interesting is if I chromecast from my laptop chrome window showing the MLB app it's fine. I guess it's an issue with chromecast to the MLB servers rather than my laptop. It seems to be a well known issue.

Not surprised but I'd take it with a grain of salt. Seems to be based on last year's performance.
I mean, if we can get an offense going we should win 7 games.
I mean, we have been saying this for about as long as Wilcox has been our coach.
I'd add the caveat Wilcox +Garbers. It's the dawn of a new era, my friends!
Don't take this as me making an excuse, but my opinion is that Cal, for various reasons that are not the fault of Wilcox, was more impacted by covid than most other football programs.
I agree with this as I consider the City of Berkeley to be an activist city government. The City takes a bull in a china shop approach to many things.
Oh absolutely. And no reason to rehash - Cal was definitely more adversely affected by COVID in ‘21 than most teams…with various factors being involved.
Hopefully they are more fortunate in ‘22.
Exactly. If he could field even an average, middle-of-the-road Power 5 offense, 7-8 wins a year would be a lock. But he can't, so pretty much every game is a total coin toss.
6 wins plus or minus 2 is basically what we are, unless we win the lottery with a QB recruit or something
Until they change the rules of payments to players, it's tough to see the Bears landing any elite recruits in the era of the NIL, considering Cal is a non-factor on that front...but it'd be nice. I think building in the trenches with 3* recruits is gonna be the ticket for this staff. Field a consistently solid OL and DL, and the other players will rise....
