The SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE (and Holly at EDSBS) has an update on the big stink between homeless tree-sitters and Cal officials who are trying to build a sports training facility next to Memorial Stadium. (”Look, in the distance, a Flying J truckstop shower with your name on it!”) UC Berkeley’s plan to build a state-of-the-art…

<!–start image–><!– end image–>The USC football program strives on the idea of competition more than any other. The Trojans battle on recruiting fronts and on the practice field. While junior cornerback Shareece Wright appreciates the constant competition, the constant encouraging and the constant guidance, Wright has a different idea about competition. For him, it all…

<!–start image–><!– end image–>Back in the spring, Pete Carroll named Mark Sanchez his starting quarterback. Sanchez had emerged after a battle with Mitch Mustain and Aaron Corp, winning the job before the Trojan Huddle. Months later, and one of the Trojan quarterbacks hasn’t quite given up competing. Go inside for a free update on Mustain…

<!–start image–><!– end image–>Junior tailback Stafon Johnson was a backup in 2007, finishing 2nd on the team in rushing with 673 yards.

Commenter OC Phil attended the grown-up football fantasy camp, and two great things happened to him. First, his knee didn’t explode, and for that we say huzzah, sir. Second, he got Pete in frame with an EDSBS shirt, and for that, we give the illustrious ONE HUNDRED COCKTAILS of his choosing to him. We are…

Just over a year ago, Gabe Pruitt announced that he would leave USC early. He ended up going to the Boston Celtics with the second pick of the second round in the NBA draft. Pruitt hasn’t received any playing time in the NBA Finals against the Lakers (nor has fellow Trojan-Celtic Brian Scalabrine), but his…

FINALLY! The Pads are calling up Chase headley and activating him today. Andy Pettitte is the slated starter for the Yankees, so we’ll have to wait and see if Headley starts in left field today or tomorrow since Pettitte is a lefty. I’m just glad we get to see this kid play. San Diego is…

One of the really entertaining things about UCLA partisans Bruins Nation is how staunchly on-message it is at all times. It’s apparent some of its founders have political backgrounds. When the message was “Fire Karl Dorrell,” no opportunity was missed, no sentence was written that might weaken the campaign. Not even after a 26-point win. Not…
