(No Ratings Yet)2008 Cal Football Preview - The Offense (Blue and Gold Sports)
Posted August 13, 2008 at 9:18 pmSystem:It remains to be seen how noticeable the difference will be between Frank Cignetti’s offensive system and play calling style and what Jeff Tedford has traditionally done. It’s clear that for the first time during his tenure at Cal that Tedfo…

Game #3 : September 13 @ Maryland, 12:00 PM EDT (televised on ESPN or ESPN2).
ragnarok: Maryland is by far the most unfamiliar opponent on the 2008 schedule. Cal has never faced the Terrapins (or Terps, if you will) in football. In fact, Cal hasn’t played any ACC school since defeating Clemson …

(No Ratings Yet)The Big Play (Bears Necessity)
Posted August 1, 2008 at 5:12 amI hate this term. I hate this term more than Baby Boomers lamenting the thuggery of the NBA (and I really love basketball). I hate this term more than that dude from Florida with the billboards. I almost hate it more than that turdbox Skip Bayless. This term has dulled the minds of sports-loving [...]ShareThis

Posted July 29, 2008 at 1:26 amIn the second part of my heroic battle against government corruption, corporate interests (who do you think is supplying the tree-sitters with all this food? Big Oak, that’s who! also, local grandmothers). and DiRs, I attended the public comment session at the Berkeley City Council last Thursday. Far from the rational, soothing voice of Laurie Capitelli, I was greeted by raucous, primal cheers …

Posted July 28, 2008 at 4:12 pmI could have easily written three features with the information that Cal women’s field hockey coach Shellie Onstead gave me.
I wanted to keep a pretty tight focus on her Olympic quest, which unfortunately came at the expense of leaving out a truly fantastic story about her family’s Berkeley legacy. Thanks to this blog, however, I [...]

When I started this, 2 weeks ago, Cal had 39 Olympians. Now, we have 45. You’d think that was cause for celebration, but it just means MORE work for me! STOP BEING SO GOOD AT PRODUCING OLYMPIANS, CAL!!! Also, does anybody know anywhere of a website that ranks Olympians by school attended? I really wanna know if 45 is …

Posted July 26, 2008 at 6:37 pmWhat happened to the free vouchers to the C level home game? And the free ticket to the volleyball and women’s basketball games. And the free burrito! Sure, I rarely, if ever used some of those. But I like to have them.
This year, we didn’t get squat. Except for like 7 “great deals on oil changes.” My car runs on Marshawn power, I don’t have …

Posted July 23, 2008 at 1:06 pmOk, so we learned a lot about our first 10 Olympians representing Cal, but there are many, many, many, many, many, many more. I wonder if there is a listing of Olympians by American college. I’d have to think that 40 Olympians is a strong contingent. Let’s get to it!

Posted July 17, 2008 at 7:11 amFor this YouTube Thursday, we thought we’d dwelve into the Cal ads a bit and some other videos about Cal as a whole. Some are produced by Cal, others appear not to be. One I just stumbled upon and is from some dude (some dude!).
The first is, by far, the absolute classic. A home run. A touch down. A 3 point shot from a moderately …

Well, Ryan Anderson is gone, and he’s not coming back. He gets to live the NBA dream, which is cool for him and all, but what about the rest of us? Next winter, when we’re still going to Haas Pavilion, rooting on our Bears, what are we gonna see? Without Ryan, what are we left with?
Well, we’ve got a shiny new coach, …
