Thursday random quotes

KGO's Mike Shumann has this video report from the Guardsmen Luncheon at the St. Francis Hotel held yesterday.

Also from the Salem StatesmanJournal:

Stanford at California: Yes, I know I said I would pick all of the Pac-10 rivalry games (in which I currently am 1-2 ... ouch). This one, however, doesn't seem fair. But I've seen my share of Big Game weirdness. The Bears are favored by approximately 900 points. It will be closer than that. Cal wins 31-7.

From that poor haiku-writing insomniac on the farm:

ARGH some bastards who I can only assume are the Cal band is playing loud trumpets outside. At 3:15AM. Of course I was up anyway (Advantage: night owl!), but still, obnoxious.
