(No Ratings Yet)Basketball (Oski Talk)
Posted January 21, 2008 at 10:48 amWell, I held off posting after the Arizona State game. I said earlier that it was a must win game. That we needed to sweep the weekend to stay in the NCAA hunt. That the Pac 10 was tough, and we needed to win every home game in order to advance. Bu…

Posted January 21, 2008 at 7:46 amAfter a promising start, the Bears are in a free-fall right now after losing to Arizona on Saturday night 75-79. This was a game the Bears had completely in control midway through the 2nd half, being up by as much as 7 with as little as 7 minutes left. I was able to [...]

Posted January 18, 2008 at 9:39 amArizona State is definitely the surprise team of the Pac-10 this year. They’re undefeated in Pac-10 play, beating Oregon, Arizona and now Cal on the road in the process. Originally they were a candidate in my analysis along with Oregon State and possibly Washington for the Bears to be able to beat twice [...]

Posted January 15, 2008 at 7:03 pmDesean Jackson is out of here. If college football and Cal was a female he has hit it and he has quit it — he’s moved on. Long live Desean Jackson. Do big things in the league and get that money. While his talent will be missed, if there is anything I’ve learned from the past half decade about Tedford’s offense, it’s that there will …

Posted January 15, 2008 at 3:17 pmDeSean Jackson has declared for the NFL Draft, much to the chagrin of many - probably including his parents. But let’s face it - if I had the chance to make 10 million coming out of college a year early, there is no doubt I would have done it. As wo…

I wish him the best at the next level.
(No Ratings Yet)Cal Basketball continues on track (Excuse Me For My Voice)
Posted January 15, 2008 at 11:02 amLast weekend was another “meet expectations” weekend for the Cal Basketball team. They went up to Oregon and went 1-1, losing to Oregon on Thursday and beating Oregon State on Sunday. The game against Oregon was both frustrating and encouraging as the Bears dug themselves a hole that they almost climbed themselves out [...]

Posted January 14, 2008 at 10:27 pmIt looks like Theo announced that he will Blueshirt this year. It seems like he has been here forever, but I guess he still will have two years to go after this year.Hips are tough, but look at Josh Shipp. The UCLA guard is tearing it up. Hopefully …

Posted January 14, 2008 at 4:49 pmThis has been a weird season. So far, it seems like we should be pretty happy with the Hoops team, but it seems like there is a lot of doubt, and a lot of worry about this team.I think that comes down to something like this: Cal plays 12-2 Arizona St…

Posted January 11, 2008 at 10:59 amI was going to post something before the game saying that the Oregon game was the biggest game of the season - that the Bears could not afford to go into Eugene and lose. But I didn’t want to jinx it.Oh well.I am not sure if this is a situation where …

Posted January 9, 2008 at 2:17 pmI had not been one who thought it likely that Alex Mack, the Bears awesome center, would head to the NFL early. Nevertheless there were those that thought he may leave. The good news is that he has announced his intention to stay.
Still no work on DeSean, who everyone is assuming will leave, [...]

Posted January 8, 2008 at 5:27 pmWell now that the college football season is officially over with the predictably easy (although unpredictably starting) victory for LSU in the BCS championship game, let’s take a moment to review each conferences (BCS) performance and what it says about them. In order in which I think their performance leaves them:
SEC: 7-2(in order of [...]
