Meet Calvin Booth, a Penn State grade in 1998 and a 2nd round pick (#35 overall) in the 1999 draft. He played over 10 seasons for 8 different teams. He gets an honorable mention from me because of the tattoo he has on his left shoulder.
SG messaged me about the DBD being locked for subs. Sometimes it’s a coding error. A pretty easy fox. So just lmk on the sub discord or email writeforcalifornia@gmail.com and we’ll get it fixed. Appreciate it!
I remember seeing Cal play PSU when Calvin Booth was there (pre-season tournament?). I think I was in a bar at SLC airport. They were making a big deal about his tat ;-)
"Although it’s obviously unconstitutional for a state legislature to appoint electors after Election Day in an attempt to reverse the results of a presidential election, it’s much less clear that a state legislature won’t try."
duh that's the point of the concern
"but the rules say" is exactly what i'd expect from a stanfurd alum
The liberals are going to push the right into a constitutional crisis by becoming hysterical at the right pushing the electors issue as far as possible and it will be the liberals fault because the right will point to said hysteria by the liberals as justification that what they are doing is acceptable and liberals need to chill out because of one word in the constitution, "timing" which should therefore give everyone the needed clarity to entrust our Supreme Court to get this right. I think it got it. What's the problem everyone?
Yeah I'm not sure how it's the fault of liberals to highlight that this is a situation that might arise when the states who have been pursuing this change are ones that have been working hardest to nullify Democratic party wins.
Ends the season for both. Neither is or would have become bowl eligible. I kind of wonder if playing the game as a memorial might have been therapeutic.

Cal football trivia fun fact. Sponsored by House Un-American Activities Committee.
A trifecta of Big Game fun facts.
Saturday was the first of 125 Big Games to end with a final score of 27-20. Cal has previously beaten Stanfurd by scores of 28-20 (’54), 25-20 (’82) and 24-20 (’19).
The Golden Bears remain unbeaten in Big Games played after the Philadelphia Phillies won the pennant (’50, ’80, ’83, ’08, ’09, ’22 — the Phils also won the pennant in 1915 but there was no Big Game that year).
Saturday’s win broke Cal’s longest Big Game home losing streak at six. The Bears’ longest home unbeaten streak is eight (’48-60) and their longest winning streak is six, ’52-’60.
Calf football trivia fun fact appears Tuesdays and Thursdays on DBD, but due to the Thanksgiving holiday Thursday’s trivia fun fact will appear tomorrow.
Will there be a good turnout of Blues still riding the crest of the comeback axe-keeping that turns out for probably the last appearance in Berkeley for the Bruins?

French ski slope dismantles their ski lift because it hasn't snowed. For 15 straight years.
https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/french-ski-resort-dismantled-ski-lift-scn/index.html
i bet much more of that will happen in the coming years.
even the places that make snow are spending more and more on the infrastructure for fewer days of being able to keep mountain open.
i guess that is why they are jacking up prices so high ..
last season my friend paid $279 for one day of skiing at Steamboat over Xmas because they didnt have a season/multi-resort pass

Maybe they should put their promotional efforts into getting people to come to the women's game so they can see some decent basketball.
they should pay you
They probably need to channel all that cash into an NIL fund.
