I’m tired and disappointed this morning after watching the Sharks game last night. The game was a classic playoff game as it went to 4 overtimes and lasted nearly 6 hours. The Sharks were attempting to become the first team in 33 years to come back from a 3-0 defecit to win a [...]
Growing up in California hockey was not a sport I followed or played. As a kid I focused on the major sports of baseball, football and basketball. I have only started watching hockey in the past few years. I’m still not a big fan, but I enjoy and understand the sport a little better now. [...]
The college football bowl season is now in full swing with bowl games almost every day until the BCS National Championship game on Jan 7, 2008. As we watch these games, we realize that these are not pro athletes, but rather college kids who are playing for the love of the game. They are not [...]

It is a good time to be bay area football fan, particularly if you are a fan of the Cal Bears and the Oakland Raiders like I am. As I read the sports page this morning over breakfast, the Cal Bears are ranked #2 in the nation, and the Raiders are in first place in [...]

As we start another weekend of college football, let’s remind our mascots to behave themselves. The Oregon Duck mascot got into a fight with the Houston Cougar mascot a few weeks ago, and got himself suspended for one game. It looks like a staged fight, but the duck escalated it and got out of control. [...]
The highlight of the Labor day weekend was going to the Cal-Tenn football game. Cal was anxious to avenge last year’s blowout in Knoxville and to start the season on a high note. It was also the only game between ranked teams this weekend with the #12 Bears vs. the #15 ranked Volunteers. This is the third year [...]

The college football season has begun, and it will go into full swing this Saturday. The big game for me will be the Cal-Tennessee game as Cal hopes to start the year right and exact revenge to the Volunteers for last year.
It is also time to place some trades in the Ticketreserve market. I have [...]

Over the weekend, I saw some exhibition football games on TV. Even though it is summer weather of over 80 degrees outside, the start of pre-season football signals that summer in about to end. For many, it means going back to school. It is also a signal for me to begin to study. For the [...]

Today in the Bay Area, the public memorial service for the Bill Walsh was held at Candlestick park. Bill Walsh was the legendary NFL coach of the San Francisco Forty Niners who passed away last week. It may seem strange for me to pay homage to a Forty Niner since I am an avid Oakland [...]
