There’s was some news conference yesterday that nobody told me about so oh well.
But find out all about it after the jump.
Now, which squad do you think will win on Saturday? The Bruins…
…or the Illini?
It’s like $25 for a cheap seat – you can afford that, right?
See you there!
Google Offers San Francisco is a-offering this deal for the next few days:
All the deets, after the jump.
See? This is the news that came out last night:
Get all the deets after the jump, but before that, see me try to puzzle out who would play from five days back:
The annual Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl (that new name is starting to sound normal to me already) is a coming to the Phone Booth on Saturday, December 31st, 2011.
Where else will you watch an NCAA bowl game in NorCal?
Oh, what’s that, you want to know who’s playing this year? Well, let’s look to the past:
2010 — Nevada 20, Boston College 13
2009 — USC 24, Boston College 13
2008 — California 24, Miami 17
2007 — Oregon State 21, Maryland 14
2006 — Florida State 44, UCLA 27
2005 — Utah 38, Georgia Tech 10
2004 — Navy 34, New Mexico 19
2003 — Boston College 35, Colorado State 21
2002 — Virginia Tech 20, Air Force 13
As you can see, sort of, there’s gotta be a Pac-12 team on the field – that’s current rule.
Here’s one stab at it:
“Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl
December 31, 2011 San Francisco, CA, 3:30 pm ESPN
Payout: $1.675 million
Pac-12 No. 6 vs. Army (WAC if Army not available)”
But it looks like their prediction has recently changed, based on this:
“Scout’s 2011 bowl prediction for the Illini has them heading out San Francisco to participate in the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl. There, Scout predicts, the Illini would take on the UCLA Bruins, who would be 6-7 on the season and also likely minus its coach as well. Two teams with a combined record of 12-13 and without head coaches doesn’t exactly sound like the most appetizing match up, but such is one of the downsides of the current bowl system.”
So, as recently as yesterday, some people were thinking it could be this squad…

…versus this one, the crew from Illinois. (You know, they’re looking for men, as always.)
All right, see you there!
All right, all the deets after the jump
[UPDATE: Or UCLA vs. Western Michigan...]

Apply some Ben-Day dots, find a matching outfit and you’re done with preparations for October 31st.

[UPDATE: It's no longer an mystery - it's all about mosquito abatement, per Bill in the Comments section. So cyclists drop a pill or whatever they drop and then leave a colored mark to show the job was done.

Apple’s Black Friday discounts are bigger than expected for 2010.
Now, I wouldn’t ever recommend you starting down the path of Apple for a real computer (something like a MacBook Air or a MacBook Pro or an iMac*) but you might find something in the iPad-or-smaller-category appealing.
Act now, today only:
*Why? Cause Apple’s competition is generally harder, better, faster, stronger, cheaper and will be for the foreseeable future.

Leaving you with words from Michael Millican, site admin for MosquitoSF.com:
“In honor of Earth Day we are launching MosquitoSF.com. This web site will act as the hub for the San Francisco Mosquito Abatement Courier Team, which is an ongoing project of the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission and powered by Pestec Integrated Pest Management Providers.
The SF MAC Team is a group of dedicated Bicyclists and Walkers who work throughout the mosquito season to reduce the risks mosquitoes pose to the City and County of San Francisco. The program is unique to San Francisco. Using carbon neutral methods the SF MAC team inspects the 22,000 catch basins throughout the City and County of San Francisco for conditions conducive to mosquito life. These include catch basins blocked with debris, standing water, broken or missing grates and mosquito activity itself. The Team tracks the catch basins with GPS markers and a dot of paint, to ensure that every catch basin in the city is inspected multiple times over the mosquito season stretching from February to November. (See our Routes page for a selection of San Francisco’s catch basins. You may need to download a plugin to view the google earth application.) Last year the team performed approximately 222,000 catch basin inspections during the season.
The goal of reducing mosquito activity is to help maintain a higher quality of life for the residents of the City and County of San Francisco. Mosquitoes are vectors for multiple diseases, and the SF MAC Team was created 5 years ago as a response to the rapid spread of the West Nile Virus. By keeping mosquito activity to a minumum, the SF MAC Team is decreasing the mosquito’s ability to spread dangerous diseases. The use of Vectolex is intended to reduce the risk of pesticide exposure to any organism that is not a mosquito. A bio-diverse and healthy San Francisco is the ultimate goal of the SF MAC Team, and our use of alternative/carbon-neutral transportation methods is part of achieving that goal.
If you see any of our Bikers out working, feel free to say hello! We are here to serve the San Francisco public, and we think we have one of the best jobs in the city.”
