After the season starts...they will drift down to Pac12 level on the news churn. Brown might get them a round past their typical uneventful post season...

They haven't won since the 1950s...

Well Cal is a great school. UNC, uh no. I along with many have lost all respect for them.

Does he mean academics? Berkeley is certainly a better school academically.

Cal Berkeley is the Harvard of the West Coast. Stanford, Berkeley, and Cal Tech are some of the best of the best. UNC is a good state school, but not in the same category, which is fine.

I assume he means they have fake classes. LOL

That is like saying that the US is better economically than Mexico.

 

[kybassfan]

Is this thread serious? UNC is clearly a joke. Berkley has not collectively been sober long enough to tell what they are. One is academically bankrupt. The other is, well, I don't know, excels in horticulture? Maybe.

I have absolutely nothing to contribute to this thread except my post count I guess, nm

 

[*Bleedingblue*]

Why not, I'll add another post count as well.
I guess it matters as much as going to class or taking tests do at UNC.

They are essentially the same...one school doesn't attend classes in order to riot and protest. The other doesn't attend classes in order to, well...you know.

Mario Savio and the Free Speech Movement was 1964. Which may be the last time Cal was in the news about some kind of protest. 51 years ago. To put it another way, 51 years prior to that moment, Archduke Franz Ferdinand was still hunting kangaroos or whatever Mittel-European potentates did for amusement.

You're kidding right? You obviously don't live out here. Please Google any combination of Cal, Berekley, riots, and/or protests and get back to me on that.

Every school has local stuff. My daughter protested stuff at UK. Is UK known for an activist student body? Cal is regarded that way because of the stuff over 50 years ago. As you said, if you don't live out there you don't hear about it.

It's well known in historical circles that Archduke Ferdinand was NOT a hunter. He preferred birdwatching.

Some of Franz Ferdinand's hunting trophies. Basically, if it moved, he'd shoot it.

I dunno about out and out rioting in the sense that you mean, but as somebody who is very familiar with the students in that area, I can confirm that they are generally struggling to find a happy medium between attending class and openly calling for the extermination of males and white people. It can get tricky sometimes - there's a lot to juggle.

May have been meant facetiously. If not, I can tell you I visited Konopiste Castle outside Prague a few years back. It was Archduke Ferdinand's last residence before he was killed in Sarajevo. There were enough hunting trophies in that place to populate the American Great Plains circa 1830, plus the African Savannah. The woman from New England I was traveling with was appalled, and even as a guy who grew up hunting in Kentucky, it struck me as amazingly wasteful. How many mounted reindeer heads are enough?

Sorry man, I was just trying to be funny. I guess I should have looked it up. Instead of being funny, I should have just put this Austrian kin of the Archduke here to lighten things up.

And THIS is not exactly the subject that I expected to see on my reoccurring nightly visit to RR. I would think that there is a more appropriate forum somewhere to discuss the recreational habits of one Franz Ferdinand. Really? Freakin' Franz Ferdinand? Never thought I would see that name on this sight, that's for sure. Well, looks like this thread has gone to the birds.........and Kangaroos.

Oh WOW!! OK!! GREAT! Franz Ferdinand! I've always liked him and always wanted to learn more about him. And his family history, of course. So please, please continue with this awesome thread.........

Me want more!!

In the offseason, even hockey is interesting...
