Morgan will be making her third appearance at the Olympics, after playing a vital role in helping the United States win gold at the 2012 London Olympics and featuring at the 2016 Rio Olympics as well.

Vasha Hunt-USA TODAY Sports Bynum was the only Bear selected in the 2021 NFL Draft The 2021 NFL Draft didn’t hear quite as many California Golden Bears as any fan may have hoped, but that wasn’t that big of a surprise for any of those who watched the team the past few seasons. With the amount of talent they’ve produced into the league, mainly from the defensive side of the ball and in the secondary, it’s actually quite amazing they can keep producing top-notch players in such a short amount of time. The past four seasons have produced six NFL draft picks from the defensive side of the ball and ..read more

But I’m back – what’d I miss? You’d noticed by now that I was missing for some time. It’s been a few days, alright fine, it’s been just over four months since I’ve been here. But here I am. After having our second child to start the year, adjusting to life with two children including our powerful two-year-old, yours truly is back in the thick of it. Oh, we also moved to a new house in that time frame as well, so just added to the chaos of the past few weeks. With me being back now, however, I figured what better way to acclimate myself than to read through what I’ve missed over the past ..read more

Photo by Bob Kupbens/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images It’s time to watch the selection and fill out your brackets. It’s the most exciting time of the year in college sports: March Madness. Yesterday the brackets were selected for the men’s NCAA basketball tournament, and today the brackets will be chosen for the women’s NCAA basketball tournament. It’s pretty safe to say that the Cal women’s basketball team won’t be taking part in this year’s festivities, as the selection squad doesn’t normally make a habit of including one-win teams in the bracket. But even Cal fans can get excited about the ..read more

D. Ross Cameron-USA TODAY Sports It’s almost time to fill out this year’s brackets. We’ve almost arrived at the best time of the year: the start of the NCAA Tournament.

Regardless, Selection Sunday is upon us, and with it, the announcement of the 68-team field and the draw. It’s worth noting that regions are of less importance this year since the entire tournament will be held in Indianapolis. There are certain to be some surprises ..read more
