As weird as it sounds, I think the additions have improved it. It's still awful, but the original center piece was just otherworldly in its utter craptitude. That tattoo was honestly the reason why I was cheering for Phillip Simms to win the QB job over AJ in 2011.

I enjoy watching his gf on splash. She doesn't have any tattoos, unless it's in an area a bikini covers.

Either I made up lies about the Boston Bomber or I fell for someone else's crap. Either way, I have absolutely no credibility and you should never pay any attention to anything I say, no matter what the context. Perm me if I claim to be an insider
Cyan is getting new strips in 15 minutes!
Like chicken strips?

You can listen to the Pac-12 Network do sound checks right now and ask questions like "What is the function of this meter, here?"

Ooh, it's not uniforms, it "visual identity projects."
I hope the Buffaloes can get new unis if they win 3 games too.

But they are going to change fonts and all sorts of stuff.

That bear better learn how to hold the football. He's just begging to have it stripped from him.

Cal script to stay same.
New font is straight up Star Trek.
Oh, the new Golden Bear...oh...just...yikes.
Think Memphis Grizzlies with an open mouth.

Cal Women's Volleyball keeping booty shorts!
Bold like a bear, sharp like a claw? UGH.
The blue looks purple in this light.
Cal the LSU of the Pac-12?
Everything is coming up Cyan!

Looking at the bear, does anyone else see a rough outline of the stanford tree? Or maybe a pine cone?

I think the color correction on the stream is just screwed up.
First the offseason thread title and now this. Stanford shenanigans!

New Oski.
Actually, I don't like current Oski. I like old Oski.
Stole him right out of your backyard too!

Not terrible. Obviously didn't come from the same team that worked on the new UC system logo.

I was on a cancer benefit cruise in February that had tons of former players and coaches on it. Herbie was trashed nearly every single night, and Eddie George owes me about $150 from his terrible rolls at the craps table.
Herbie was still a really cool guy when I talked him, he's not nearly as "fake" in real life as he is on tv.
Herbstreit is remarkably more tolerable if you ever catch him on a radio show than he is on TV IMO. He's done some local stuff in Dallas and you'd barely believe it's the same guy.

He had a 2 hour local show here for year and years. Now he just has a 1 hour show during football season.
Unfortunately, passing the 'eye test' is what matters most.

Christ, they somehow managed to make new Oski even creepier than old Oski.
I didn't think that was possible.
EDIT: I've always found Oski eerily familiar, and I've finally realized who he looks like - Kyle's cousin Kyle.

I always thought he looked more like Gary Oldman's Dracula.

So Athlon Sports put out their 2013 ranking of the current FBS coaches. I don't know who they're affiliated with but fuck it, it's the offseason and it's a list.
Focusing on the AAC/Big East, I'm a bit concerned. I'm not a GOL apologist at all but his ranking is a bit ridiculous. Putting him 5th out of the Big East and behind Willie Taggert who is completely unproven and June Jones? I'm not sure about that.
He should be 3rd behind Strong and Tubberville. GOL has had his issues, but the resume thing is irrelevant now and the Ereck Plancher death investigation found he wasn't liable for that situation. So weird they're using those situations to knock him down. He put some legs under UCF and since his arrival we have 4 division titles, 2 conference titles, 5 bowl appearances and 2 wins. Even with his inconsistency, that is pretty good. And if UCF has a winning season again this year, all of a sudden it becomes winning seasons 4 out of the last 5 years.
List:
1. Charlie Strong, Louisville
2. Tommy Tuberville, Cincinnati
3. Willie Taggart, South Florida
4. June Jones, SMU
5. George O'Leary, UCF
6. Kyle Flood, Rutgers
7. Justin Fuente, Memphis
8. Paul Pasqualoni, UConn
9. Tony Levine, Houston
10. Matt Rhule, Temple

I wonder how many meetings they had about those white strips around the muzzle. Someone had to point out that it looks like the bear is crying, right?
Maybe we are all wrong, maybe the bear has a cold. Those aren't tears, its snot, and he isn't growling, he is about to sneeze.
That's way his right paw is up, he is trying to cover his mouth before he sneezes like a good bear.

The California golden bear has been extinct for a while.
Sort of like their football team! *Statler & Waldorf*
Anybody who makes a muppet reference is okay in my book.
Glad you're hanging around more often.

Is there actually any genetic difference between California golden bears and the rest of the brown bears?
Or do we have to somehow introduce brown bears in California with a disposition to bleach their hair?
Well, the genetic variance between all subspecies isn't substantial enough to prevent interbreeding IIRC.
Nothing I've ever seen leads me to believe it's a doubtful classification, but tbh given that it's been extinct for almost 100 years I don't think anyone gaf about falsifying the distinction.
I've got no issues with Herbie. Jessie Palmer on the other hand, he's the best personality they have for making observations that are obvious to anyone with eyes.

Whenever Karakand says something smart, I need to punch myself in the nuts to make sure I'm not dreaming.
Right now, I'm in a lot of pain.

I imagine there are holy wars between the different camps in the world of taxonomy, particularly between the traditionalists who go by physical traits and the geneticists. Plus, there is extra weight on this subspecies because of its status as a state symbol.

James Franklin of Vandy is ahead of Charlie Strong on the list. Shows how much this crap is worth.
The media love James Franklin. They love to pump up lesser programs like Vandy, A&M, Ole Miss etc in hopes of a Cinderella story.
He has done a good job at Vandy, considering what he's working with.

I can imagine his face when he saw that.
We mentioned earlier that Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning is working out with his wide receivers this week at Duke University.
Denver wide receiver Eric Decker posted a picture of an invoice Manning gave to him for working out with him. Of course it was just a joke. But it was a funny one.
