Posted July 21, 2008 at 1:47 amThere is always a deterministic sense of following hometown teams. I would guess that the majority of Cal fans are also Bay Area fans (or SoCal counterparts), and their emotions fall and rise with the As and the Giants, the 49ers and the Raiders, Warriors and Sharks. You associate with these teams earlier, it’ll always [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: “What’s It Like Following A College Team?”, url: …

Posted July 20, 2008 at 7:55 amThe pre-game Storyline:
The Bears had revenge on their mind with Arizona coming to town. Arizona had thought to be on the verge of a turn-around but their season had started with a dud going 1-2 to start the seaason. Would the Cal offense be able to get back on track versus the traditionally [...]

(No Ratings Yet)Tedford Tournament of Champions: Cal 2005 vs. Cal 2006 (Bears Necessity)
Posted July 14, 2008 at 6:32 amAnd then there were three.
After the decisive 2004 beatdown on a talented yet flawed 2007 team, we’re entering what appears to be the most entertaining matchup of this tournament insofar. A stronger 2005 team angled against a developing but talented 2006 offense. The chronically maligned Joe Ayoob versus the chronically injured Nate Longshore. Marshawn [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: “Tedford Tournament of Champions: Cal 2005 vs. Cal …

I simulate the games, and determine the winner of the series after around forty-fifty simulations. Usually it’s conclusive enough to determine who the winner is after at least 20.

Posted July 7, 2008 at 11:51 amThe pre-game Storyline:
After getting redemption against Tennessee the now number 10 in the AP poll Bears look to roll versus a weak Colorado State. Would the high altitude and the road trip get the Bears to overlook the Rams? Most people didn’t think so.
The pre-game reality:
The Bears were clicking on offense after their [...]

Posted July 6, 2008 at 9:08 amThe pre-game Storyline:
Cal was seeking redemption from their previous year’s beating in Knoxville. With the game in Berkeley and Cal now knowing what to expect from the hard hitting SEC team that was coming to town, their high octane offense should have a chance to return the favor.
The pre-game reality:
The real story of the [...]

2007 was definitely a season that toyed with the hearts of all Bear fans. It’s been 10 months since last season began and it feels like 3 years have past since Tennessee came to town. [...]

Posted July 3, 2008 at 7:22 amAs we discovered last week, Cal 2003 was no match for the offensive potency of Cal 2007 in the Whatifsports.com simulator. This team didn’t need much impetus in flatout overpowering its way to a sweep. This led us to our next match in the series, a showdown between the 2002 and 2005 teams.

Posted June 12, 2008 at 9:59 amAfter the reversal of fortunes at the Big Game, confidence was high for the Las Vegas Bowl. Not only was it thought that Levy would improve on his more than acceptable performance against Stanford, but also that BYU would be an easy opponent to beat, not measuring up to the average quality of Cal’s [...]

Posted June 8, 2008 at 8:27 amWith Ayoob completely falling apart against USC, Tedford was left with little choice but to play Steve Levy at quarterback for the Big Game. Despite having a respectable showing in the few playing opportunities he had, Tedford had been very reluctant to make the switch. Stanford came into the Big Game with a [...]

For that matter, just about every one in college football had it circled on their calendar. It was one of two games that might trip up the mighty Trojans. The last time USC had [...]
