The school is located in a town that has been called the "Berkeley of the Rockies," although there's no quid pro quo since Berkeley is seldom if ever called the "Boulder of the Bay Area."

Former Bear Je'Rod Cherry auctioned his SB ring for charity. Very cool.

Defensive back and special-teams player Je'Rod Cherry raffled his ring for charity in 2008. He said the ring raised $171,000 to build orphanages in Thailand and Cambodia, save children from sex trafficking there and feed impoverished children in Massachusetts and Ohio.

"A lot of people got help," Cherry said. "Children were taken out of brothels and given homes to live in. It's definitely something I'm proud to be a part of."

It's the one narrated by Roxy Bernstein which has the Tom Hanks clip where he says he'd like to win the Heisman playing halfback for the Golden Bears.

It also had the variety of companies in the Bay Area like Pixar and Google, along with all the rankings of our academic departments and the average salary of a Cal grad.

I think it was entitled "This is Cal."

Because I grew up in Berkeley, and first became aware of Cal Football when Pappy Waldorf was the coach - and when QB Paul Larson was my childhood hero - it was a great pleasure to meet Hanifan.

When I mentioned Larson to Hanifan - he proudly responded, "He was MY quarterback."

In addition to seeing his grandson work out, he's also in town for the annual meeting of Pappy's Boys, guys who played for Pappy Waldorf - and who became (as a group and individually) important supporters of Cal Football over the years.

Hanifan is distinctly "grandfatherly" now, a friendly smile and a handshake for everybody. He worried just a bit about Hinder having to take a redshirt - and perhaps being a bit disappointed at that. I reminded him of the experience of quarterback Kyle Boller who came in insisting that he was ready to play in his freshman year - only to candidly (to his credit) admit in later years that he had been wrong. There's a lot of growing up that goes on in those years.

I happen to agree with grandfather Hanifan that Hinder is a real talent. Though this is not a present concern, I already look forward to seeing Hinder in real competition for the job next spring. And I expect to see grandfather in the stands when that time rolls around. ]]> Football GreyBear http://bearinsider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=32800 Marv Levy at Cal http://bearinsider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=32798&goto=newpost Thu, 09 Sep 2010 20:56:41 GMT I'm reposting this from another post by ninetyfourbear in the Holmoecaust/Hawakopyse thread, but I thought it was interesting enough to get it's own thread.

It's a great read, I always thought Marv was just a passer by through Berkeley, but it sounds like he really liked this place.

Also funny to read that UCLA allowed special admits for athletes but not Cal. LOL. ]]> Football LegoBear http://bearinsider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=32798 Vamps going to Cal game! http://bearinsider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=32797&goto=newpost Thu, 09 Sep 2010 20:56:11 GMT
