OT Justin Wilcox (Wisc. DC) offered HC at Cal
ESPN reporting that Cal offered him the job. I would suggest that this is a loss for Wisconsin. At least this time it isn't a lateral'ish move.

Cal has always went offense and ignored their defense.
Wilcox certainly proved himself this past season.

Playing at Camp Randall next year.

And the year after that. And the year after that.
For the foreseeable future they are as important as PSU to our success/failure.

Michigan plays Wisconsin 4 years in a row (2016-2019) under the new B1G scheduling format. In the next 4 year cycle (2020-2023), Michigan will probably play them one time (or possibly 2) in 4 years.
January 12th, 2017 at 10:20 PM ^
because I thought Cal offered the Wisconsin Offensive Tackle (OT), which would be a serious promotion if you ask me and a bit out of left field.

Roll on you Bears. And Go Blue!

for 6 years during the Aaron Rodgers/MarshawnLynch days. They put a surprising number of people in the NFL the last decade.
Games at Berkeley are amazing. Stunning campus, weather . . . . sometimes I miss that place. I can still recall the smell of the eucalyptus grove in the mornings. Season tix were like $200 for students.

Wait what? You moved to SoCal to start rooting for a NorCal team, despite UCLA and USC in your new backyard? Just because?
The equivalent would be moving to Ann Arbor and saying "I have been following Penn State ever since I moved to A2"
January 12th, 2017 at 10:56 PM ^
I think for people not from Cali it's hard for them to make sense of the huge difference between SoCal and NorCal.

LOL, what? Berkeley is in the Eastbay across from San Fran.
Anything north of San Jose is definitely NorCal territory.

Umm, Berkeley is most definitely considered NorCal.

If you're going with that argument, then the UP and SE Michigan are very different places.
January 13th, 2017 at 12:20 AM ^
So-Cal (Oxnard south to the border)
Central (which includes Bakersfield, Fresno, etc.)
Bay Area (including Sacramento)
"Jefferson" (the parlance of some residents pushing to secede from the state) = North of Napa to Oregon
But in terms of a North/South binary, yes. "CA is bascially two very different states."
January 13th, 2017 at 1:14 AM ^
51st state!
January 13th, 2017 at 1:23 AM ^
So they've got that going for them (which is nice).

big cities, money and good bbq.
It's really Alabama that has got to go. I'd push out Mississippi too if not for that damn river we need.
January 13th, 2017 at 5:13 AM ^
So let's finally bring in Puerto Rico & either DC, or the UP can finally get that whole statehood thing, eh?
January 13th, 2017 at 2:06 AM ^
Santa Barbara is definitely 1000% SoCal, so your "Oxnard south" doesn't work, but otherwise I agree.
January 13th, 2017 at 2:34 AM ^
serves as the demarkation line from a geographical perspective and culturally, Santa Barbara's ranching tradition sets it closer to the Central region (its rural arts tradition too). It's considered part of the "Central Coast" rather than the South coastal region. For sure, more LA types tend to "summer" there, but that's a proximity thing more than anything else. Silly to parse it in such detail and I could probably argue it your way too, but where's the fun in that?
January 13th, 2017 at 3:18 AM ^
The Los Angeles Times defines Southern California as "the seven counties of Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Orange, Riverside, San Diego, Ventura and Santa Barbara". Santa Barbara is only about an hour from the Los Angeles city limits with no traffic, it's definitely SoCal.
Assuming that there are three parts of California, maybe I could see your point. But realistically, most people would only consider two main hubs. Monterey and Santa Cruz have more in common with the Bay area in terms of sociopolitical traits than they do with San Luis Obispo, just as Santa Barbara shares more with Los Angeles/Orange County than it does with Monterey.
Not to mention, the climate of Santa Barbara County is much, much more similar to Los Angeles and Orange County than it is to Monterey/Big Sur.
Monterey has an average annual temperature of 55 degrees. Both Santa Barbara and Santa Monica have the same average annual temperature of about 62 degrees.
Arguing geography is fun.
January 13th, 2017 at 11:19 AM ^
You're both right and wrong. Sure. If you cut the state in half, the line is probably SLO or there about. And if you do that, the line might extend through Fresno, splitting the Central Valley in two. But my boundaries are based on a more nuanced approach (and one could argue for even more regions with Central Coast being distinct along with the Eastern Desert, Sierra, etc). Also, temperature is not climate. Average rainfall and ocean moisture in Santa Barbara is much more akin to Monterey than Santa Monica, which is why it can produce decent wine like the rest of the Central Coast. The economic base from Ventura north to Big Sur (tourism excepted) is far more congruous with the agricultural production of Central CA than LA's manufacturing, import/exprt/logistics, media entertainment, and professional services. You have me in regard to polical affiliations (SB, Ventura, and SLO are solidly Democrat), which diverges from the "redder" Central Valley. But a region needs diversity of thought too, right?
January 13th, 2017 at 4:19 PM ^
The central coast counties are interesting because their coastal areas (or at least the rare inhabitable parts) resemble some of the less built-up parts of the bay area or the SoCal coast, while the inland areas (Salinas, Paso Robles, Santa Maria, etc) have more in common with the San Joaquin valley.
January 13th, 2017 at 6:42 PM ^
Since I moved to the Bay Area ten years ago, I can't count the number of times I've talked to family and friends back in Michigan who thought LA was just an hour drive from here. They're always shocked upon learning that driving from San Francisco to Los Angeles is like driving from Detroit to Pittsburgh.
