While we are waiting....

It seems like all we are doing is waiting.

Waiting for the damn judge to make up her mind.

Waiting for Sandy to decide to fire Ben Braun or not.

Waiting for the short list.

Waiting for the new savior.

Well, I refuse to participate. I therefore am going to write about the Cal Football Team's spring opening.

Breaking News.... Nate Longshore took the field on the first team offense (according to the Scout article). Do we have a QB controversy already on our hands the first day of spring ball? Only time will tell....

Oops.

Well, how about those Bear Baseball dudes. They are pretty good this year. And track is gearing up for the Olympic year. Not that we have anyone who is really going to make it. Maybe in four years Alison Stokke will be getting ready to do that Pole Vault thing on the Big Stage. We just have to wait....

(As an aside, as a former Pole Vaulter, I can not tell you how excited I am that a Pole Vaulter is the new hot commodity on campus).

I was going to put my kid in the Cal basketball summer camp they have available on Campus. It's pretty good fun, they have a father's and son's camp. The only problem - no coaching staff is available, so things are on hold for now. So now my wife is nagging me about what to do with the kids in the summer, etc. Who needs it?

Let's face it - this has been a frustrating month or six weeks, or five months, or so. The Athletic Department needs something Right NOW to get us going. A High Performance Center, or a New 5 Star coach, or both. And soon, or else the collective hive head of the Bears will explode in a mess of recrimination and bitterness. Wasn't it much better the first five weeks after that Tennessee game? Things were just fine.

We need something. Soon.

GO BEARS!!
