It's Got to Be the Morning After

-Cal took down #4 ranked UCLA in their quarterfinal match of the Pac 10 tournament. They had a big lead at halftime and blew the big lead but managed to hold on to force overtime. It sounds like a great game, actually, as UCLA fought their way back and then the teams traded leads up until the end. They now go to the quarterfinals and play #16 ranked Oregon. At 16-16, Cal has no way of making the Tourney unless they win the Pac 10 Tournament which seemed impossible before, but...

-Stanford was not so lucky as they also played an overtime game but lost, 83-79. Stanford finishes the season at 18-12 and now have to rely on the kindness of strangers to get into the Tourney.

-With the Niners plush with cash, Frank Gore might be thinking about getting plush with some of that Niners cash.

-How's about a Moss for Jake Plummer deal? At this point, we're thinking people are just pulling names out of a hat when speculating on Moss draft rumors.

-Did the Niners do a good job signing free agents or a lousy job and is Nate Clements the Barry Zito of football, not in a flaky kind of way but in a "you paid him that much money" kind of way?

-Deadspin previews the Giants, with help from Sam Spade.

-Athletics Nation defends ole creaky back, Mark Kotsay and Bruce Jenkins tells A's fans not to panic just yet.
