I'd prefer to be able to read or write about U*S*C, C.al, and NotreDame without the software changing their names to "Under Stanford Control," "Low APR U," and "the University of Dead Fake Girlfriends."
This gets brought up from time to time and the board seems split between those who like the autocorrect feature and those who don't care for it. Ultimately, the powers that be like it and have said they have no intention of changing it. Personally, I'm kind of partial to UDFG, but otherwise very "meh", and would prefer that the synonym for very large stop be autocorrected.

They allow for an extra grade point to be given over two year long courses each over two years (soph and Jr years), but they don't allow any extra points for the kids who have done more than two AP courses per year for those two years.

Dykes is now 0-9 all-time against UCLA, USC, Oregon and Stanford, well on his way to being 0-12. He is also 0-fer all ranked teams Cal has played.
A nickname that encapsulates not being able to beat anyone with a pulse, would suffice.

"0forC.al" representing their inability to beat anyone in california.

"0ferCal" is probably the most accurate and deserved nickname as long as the reference is to the football program.
Cal hasn't beaten all the Pac California schools in the same season in 57 years. When Stanford beats Ca.l this year, it will be Stanford's 11th time turning that trick since 1970, and will have been done in 4 of the last 6 seasons.
