The Link Blasts Returneth

It’s about time.

I’ve determined that there’s finally enough material out there in this complex series of tubes we call the “internet” to pass along.

If you’re not as excited as the people in that picture, move along.

Pitchfork Nation and the weekly link blast…reunited and it feels so good. That will be the first and only Peaches & Herb reference in the history of this site.

Anyway, this year, once again, we’ll separate the links by team for easy reference.

This batch of links surveys topics such as an O-Lineman leaving Arizona, Cal’s inability to throw the ball 3 yards and your favorite Washington State-involved rivalry.

Onward! I’m quivering with anticipation.

Arizona Wlidcats
Arizona Daily Star: The strange saga surrounding Kaniela Tuipulotu’s transfer to Hawai’i gets explained.

California Golden Bears
California Golden Blogs: A 12-part series featuring the Bears inability to…I’m being totally serious…execute screen passes.
BearTalk: 1982’s “The Play” was rated as the #3 most iconic moment of that wonderful decade. Discuss.

Oregon Ducks
The Oregonian: La-de-da. Two Ducks didn’t qualify academically for 2009. The caveat is that one was the long snapper and one never played. Darn.
The Oregonian: It has been a relatively smooth transition between outgoing AD Pat Kilkenny and his replacement, Mike Bellotti.
The Oregonian: Walter Thurmond III worked out with Deion Sanders and apparently being considered one of the most underrated corners in America.

Oregon State Beavers
The Oregonian: Possibly a bit too early, perhaps? Comparing Jacquizz Rodgers to…uh…Barry Sanders?
Corvallis Gazette-Times: The paper recently celebrated their 100th birthday and came up with a list of the top 10 OSU Beavers moments of all time.

Stanford Cardinal
San Francisco Chronicle: Detailing the reasons why San Jose State and Stanford will take a year off of their rivalry in 2010.

UCLA Bruins
Los Angeles Daily News: Sonny Tevaga, a starting OL, becomes the 6th Bruin to leave the program since Spring Football. Also, I, for one, am waiting with bated breath for this UCLA/Rutgers series to begin! I want them to start playing now!
Los Angeles Times: The Bruins are getting a sparkling, brand-new TE transfer from Notre Dame.

USC Trojans
Los Angeles Daily News: Scott Wolf chimes in on the battle between Aaron Corp and Matt Barkley to be this fall’s signal caller.
Los Angeles Times: Meanwhile, the forgotten QB, Mitch Mustain, just barely qualified academically. Seriously, find me another more prominent fall from grace than this kid.

Washington Huskies
Dawg Pound: The Huskies land a highly-sought-after NorCal wide receiver. Excitement reigns.

Washington State Cougars
CougCenter: Weighing the heavy questions, like having to pick which WSU rivalry is your favorite. I personally prefer the “WSU/Idaho Battle For America’s Most Boring Region.”
