Budget Acrobatics: Chancellor Christ’s Favorite Sport

Oh, Carol. Carol, Carol, Carol. It’s been a rough start to the year.

First, let’s talk a little bit about context, shall we? Do you know that 40% of UC students report some level of food insecurity? That means they don’t reliably have enough to eat. Why might this be? Well, it’s anyone’s guess really, but maybe it has something to do with the 60% increase in tuition and fees since 2008, or the housing crisis all throughout California. (11% of UC Berkeley students experience homelessness at some point during their education.)

These numbers are pretty distressing, no? And you’d think--if you were the kind of person who likes to expect the best of everyone, and imagines that everybody has actual emotions--that UC would be jumping to institute better support systems to ensure students have access to basic needs. This could include free meal plans, low-cost housing, or tuition rollbacks to reduce the expense for low-income students. But of course, when we bring up these issues to UC, we always hear the same thing: “There’s just no money!” 

No money, you say? Then why, pray tell, has UC just agreed to spend $200 million bailing out Cal Athletics for their disastrous stadium boondoggle? Especially when this money will likely be diverted from the academic programs on which Cal stakes its increasingly shaky reputation? When it is already being diverted from classes canceled for low enrollment, money for graduate student salaries, better housing programs, or making sure students can eat?

Chancellor Christ says that it wouldn’t be fair to make Cal Athletics pay for this on their own, since no other program has been forced to pay for retrofitting costs. But let’s also remember that no other program pays more than one employee over $3 million/year. No other program would spend $438 million on a stadium for activities that literally kill their exploited participants (though maybe if someone wrote them the check...). 

Christ, Carol! Whoever’s coaching you in your budget acrobatics really needs a raise. Or is that a layoff? Or maybe it’s just a free house and some wining and dining. Hard to tell these days what gets you access to basic human dignity around UC. It’s certainly not being a student.

#NathanAdrian is medically cleared to work out woohoo! 💪💪 Here’s to a full recovery and a clean bill of health soon! #GoBears #nathangadrian #olympian #athlete #olympicchampion #olympicgoldmedalist #freestyle #swimming #swimmer #cancersurvivor #worldcancerday #effcancer #stupidcancer #mcm #mancrushmonday #mancrusheveryday #Repost @nathangadrian ・・・ It may not be much, but it was a start! It felt great to get back to the @calathletics weight room where I belong! They have all the recovery modalities I need including the best Physical Therapist in the world so I can get back in shape soon 💪🏽💪🏽. Through this entire experience I have to say, waiting on pathology/test results might just be the worst part. There is anywhere from 2-14 days (depending on the test) of not knowing whether you will be whisked away into treatment ASAP or that you are cancer free 🤷🏽‍♂️. The best way to deal with that, however, is to fight the urge to stay in bed with the curtains closed all day. So, we went to a great Super Bowl party yesterday and today we were cleared by my doctor to start getting back on track (slowly but surely). https://www.instagram.com/p/BtfRz6Shy9L/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=xb7axujo6sr0

TOUCHDOWN RABBIT and the 28 other weird, wild, and cool college football moments from Week 7

Let’s explore some of the week’s best in weirdness.

Two of the great things about college football are upsets and weirdness. This season’s Week 7 had both of those in heavy supply. This was a “why we love college football” kind of weekend, complete with seven Top 25 teams, four in the top 10, losing to unranked opponents.

Aside from the results, there was a bunch of silly stuff. Let’s rack it up.

1. At Stanford, there was a JACKRABBIT ON THE FIELD, and Fox play-by-play man Tim Brando and the crowd both cheered it on as it scored three touchdowns.

A post shared by FOX Sports (@foxsports) on Oct 14, 2017 at 10:18pm PDT

Rabbit’s numbers:

— Alan George (@treeSIDjorge) October 15, 2017

That was the second small mammal to score a touchdown in a Power 5 stadium this year.

2. Our first sign the weekend was going wild: while Syracuse was about to upset Clemson on Friday night, Oklahoma State head coach Mike Gundy was doing this:

Good morning. Here is the greatest photo of all time. Happy Homecoming #okstate. http://pic.twitter.com/LNWfdG67BW

3. Cal blew out Washington State (?!), led by Ross Bowers’ flipping touchdown:

4. Yes, Florida really did dress up like damn literal alligators.

5. BYU mascot Cosmo the Cougar, who recently went viral for his outrageous dancing skill, decided to have a MASCOT DANCE BATTLE against Mississippi State’s furry person.

6. Pitt threw a pass to its left tackle and almost scored a TD on it.

That left tackle, Brian O’Neill, won the Piesman Trophy last year for doing almost the exact same thing, except for a touchdown. Linemen catching passes is good.

7. Michigan got flagged for three fouls on one play: offside, defensive holding, and roughing the passer. Indiana accepted the last of those and got 15 yards.

8. An Illinois punt return made the saddest attempt of all time to scoop up a rolling kick and run with it, leading to a Rutgers fumble recovery.

9. Lamar Jackson had 512 total yards and five touchdowns! But Louisville gave up 45 points to Boston freaking College and lost. BC hadn’t put up that many points against a Power 5 opponent since 2009.

10. Lol, Will Muschamp is now 6-0 against Tennessee.

11. After the latest of those wins, South Carolina QB Jake Bentley had a heartwarming exchange with a devastated Tennessee QB, Jarrett Guarantano:

Sportsmanship, pass it on. http://pic.twitter.com/AJ2NmAnsM5

12. It was a good weekend for #classy, as Dabo Swinney was a great sport after losing to Syracuse.

Dabo is all class. Can clearly see him say "I'm so happy for you" to Dino Babers after a potentially season changing loss. http://pic.twitter.com/2M5nsLtARC

The whole postgame scene was great.

13. NC State defensive lineman Bradley Chub messed up his finger real bad ...

— Pack Pride (@PackPride) October 14, 2017

... and had a dominant game anyway in a win at Pitt.

14. Ole Miss’ D.K. Metcalf caught a ball by pinning it to the back of a dude’s helmet.

15. Former LSU coach Les Miles returned to Baton Rouge. While he was there, he literally ate grass on live television.

16. Meanwhile, we got former Auburn players tweeting step-by-step plans to replacing Gus Malzahn.

17. Miami tried to surprise Georgia Tech with an onside kick. Miami forgot to a) kick it far enough and b) stop a Yellow Jacket from picking it up and running the other way for a freebie touchdown.

18. It eventually started to rain like hell at that game. A sliding Georgia Tech QB, TaQuon Marshall, almost ripped up Mark Richt’s lower body. But the Miami coach proved that he’s still got some hops at 57, deftly eluding the rush.

19. Maryland fans got ahold of a game football and threw all around the stadium. Like, alllll around it, in a stadium-wide game of hot potato.

20. Marshall’s punter hit a 92-yard punt, FBS’ longest in at least 45 years.

21. Florida’s center made a catch! I think he’s now UF’s leading receiver.

22. Arkansas’ punter mangled a punt attempt in three different ways: by not catching the snap, by not punting it after he picked it up, and by making a silly throw.

(Alabama crushed Arkansas, but you already knew that.)

23. Arizona State shocked Washington, and the play that sealed a game was a throw-and-catch that, even after watching it a bunch, seems impossible.

In case you were sleeping (you probably were), Arizona State sealed its win over No. 5 Washington with this insane catch. http://pic.twitter.com/9rc3VhqFZw

— SportsCenter (@SportsCenter) October 15, 2017

I still don’t have a clue how that ball got from point A (the QB’s hand) to point B (the receiver’s) in the midst of all those white jerseys.

24. Akron-WMU was delayed to Sunday due to a slight case of underwater field. Akron won.

25. UCF has a thing where a cheerleader has to do a pushup for every point the Knights score, as . That becomes difficult when UCF drops a 63 spot on ECU.

The struggle is real... 63 points, 63 push-ups. @UCF_Football put @UCF_CheerTeam to work! #SCtop10 http://pic.twitter.com/KdH6nZMpsI

26. North Texas had 1:07 left when it got the ball down four against North Texas. The Mean Green were out of timeouts and on their own 2-yard line. They won.

4th Quarter. 1:07 left. 98 yards. No timeouts.@ESPN Win Probability: 1.7% Relive @MeanGreenFB's game-winning drive http://pic.twitter.com/HADkzyoWGG

27. That FSU won by stopping a Hail Mary isn’t all that weird, but here’s what is: the Noles needed Hail Mary stops against Duke and Wake Forest to reach 2-3. Imagine hearing that in 2013 or any point in the 1990s.

28. A USC player fumbled off his own face (the fumble via backwards pass was credited, so to speak, to QB Sam Darnold).

29. And finally, Lee Corso turning into a giant bulldog terrified JMU’s actual bulldog.

College football is the dumbest and best sport.
