>> we are. as soon as we're cleared to play, we started growing beards. we're looking not quite as presentable as we want to but it's a good cause. >> a six-game suspension has to be a huge distraction. six games seems a little harsh. what do you think about the allegations and knowing you guys were cleared, how are you feeling about that? >> i mean, we let it the investigation run its course. we complied fully with the school's investigation and a lot of things that came out at the time we kind of had to laugh at ourselves because that's not the type of team we are and image we want to portray. we are just happy to be able to get back on the ice and not have to focus on those things anymore. >> none of your team members were singled out for punishment by the university or by the agencies that clear you guys. and now you're cleared to play in the tournament. does that affect your chances, other than the distractive element? >> it might have, but the way

things played out at the regional playoff level, it doesn't hurt us. we're still going into the tournament with the number four seed out of the west and have a difficult road to climb to try and get to the championship game, but we're prepared to tackle that. >> and you have kind of a high profile game going on today, right? >> yeah, we have our annual alumni game tonight at 6:45, and it's entirely special for us because it's our program's 20th anniversary. so we'll have members from as far as back as the inaugural '91-'92 team there tonight. >> take it easy on those guys. 20 years older than you. >> we'll try. >> it's good to see you guys were cleared. hopefully not so much a distraction you can't compete at your best. >> we hope we can represent the school and the city as best we can. >> the game is open to anybody who wants to watch. go root them on. cheaper than a sharks ticket. >> definitely. >> thank you for coming in today. congratulations. much more ahead on "today in the bay." coming up, first comes love, then comes marriage, then comes a massive wave.

board with that? >> i think so. i think over the weekend and the next three days we'll be explaining the contract details and the ramifications of it and i think they will definitely be encouraged by what we're saying and recognize that the concessions are needed to keep services intact and keep their jobs. >> that's the thing. nobody wants to take a pay cut. i was talking with my husband. i don't want to take a 10% pay cut but it is better than having 100 something firefighters lose their jobs, right? >> absolutely. any cuts to the fire service as it is would be a drastic impact to the services we can provide. and by keeping the firefighters on the line, we're trusting that the city is going to use our concessions to keep fire services intact. >> so now we know that san jose mayor chuck reid and the city council asked for the pay cut from all of the unions so the police officers and all of the unionized workers. do you think what you guys are doing will set the tone for

[ male announcer ] relax. hershey's bliss. one square inch of indulgence... joy... pleasure. one square inch of extra smooth, rich chocolate. hershey's bliss. good morning to you. taking a live look at the golden gate bridge this morning. traffic moving nicely hopefully right at the speed limit.

do you think that the nation's worst traffic jams are along your commute? it might seem like it, but other drivers have it worse. this morning a new report from the texas tranportation institute shows bay area traffic comes in at number six. los angeles has the worst traffic in the state. it is coming in at number three or so. the worst city in terms of traffic though is not in our neck of the woods. it is a tie between chicago and washington, d.c. if you travel there for business, then you probably already guessed that. most of the time, if you are caught speeding, you were probably speeding. sometimes you do get pulled over and you're not speeding at all. can you fight the radar gun though? one south bay man says yes, you can. garvin thomas takes us in-depth this morning. >> reporter: it is a battle out there. a battle as old as the very first speed limit. one between speeders and the police who try and catch them.

until now though, it was always the kopp who's had the technological edge. their radar against your word and guess who won more often than not. >> every single defendant was guilty. >> at least that's what he was seeing on his day in traffic court. >> i was quite terriified because i was going up after a set of people that were guilty. >> but the founder of scatter tech says had he come armed with more than just his memory. he had his phone's, as well. . the gps program tracking his every move the day he was stopped for going 40 in a 25. >> during that time it records everything from your average moving pace to your maximum speed and so the maximum speedy never went over 25. >> kata presented the judge the readout. a map the whole nine yards. and the judge said not guilty. his story was picked up all over the net. comments section quickly filling up. because while many people have tried to use gps to get out of a

speeding ticket, kata appears to have been one of the first to have done it. or did he? >> we talked to the judge in his case and he said gps had nothing to do with the not guilty verdict. he said the officer in the case wasn't able to answer questions as to his training in the estimation of speed and the proper use of the radar gun that day. and that is why kata got off. >> there's also a graph. >> no matter who you believe, it does raise the question as gps technology gets better and better, isn't the day coming when courts will have to accept it? >> i think we're there now. >> francisco rodriguez has been defending speareds the past 14 years. he says theoretically it's possibleable to introduce gps, but the cost of subpoenas, experts and everything needed to do so would be so much more so than the few hundred slars speeding fine. >> it can be very tiresome in court. >> he says even fun kata or

someone like him did win, there is no such thing as precedence in traffic court. so the next guy would have to jump through all the same expensive hoops to get the same result. meaning while technology may be moving at the speed of light these days, your best bet is to travel a bit slower. garvin thomas, "today in the bay." as garvin mentioned, kata's story was picked up on dozen of blogs drawing thousands of comments from readers. they are running about 50/50 between those who think gps got him out of the ticket and those who don't think so the. caltrain is in a state of fiscal emergency and. to cost riders. board is dealing with a $30 million budget deficit and declared a fiscal emergency this week. cuts could include fewer weekday trains and suspension of all weekend service. there could be a 25 cent fare hike. the board is also talking about closing the south san francisco belmont is, santa clara and san

temperatures warming up perhaps close to 70 degrees. this will be down towards morgan hill and gilroy. what's going to happen around 3:00, we'll likely see more clouds spilling in. as typical, that will block out some of the sun, too. i think it's going to be pretty mild around the south bay. in the north bay, that rain line starts to drop into sonoma county as we head towards the evening and eventually the rain will spill further south as we make our way into the afternoon. here you look at the seven-day forecast. our temperatures tomorrow mostly cloudy day. i think we're going to see scattered showers. cooler temperatures for your outdoor plans and walking the dog today, definitely your day. chris, back to you. >> thank you very much. skateboarders will appreciate this one. the san tan cruz surfer has entered uncharted waters this morning. a kick flip on i an surf board. surfer zoll tan torkos in santa cruz. is he likely to win $10,000 big
