Tedford impressed with Rodgers (BearTalk)

Posted August 11, 2008 at 9:49 pm

Jonathan took a well deserved night off Monday, so I, Curtis Pashelka, made the trek from Walnut Creek to Berkeley to cover tonight’s practice. Traffic wasn’t bad, actually. Thanks for asking.
I normally cover St. Mary’s College, auto racing and golf, and will fill in for J.O. (as Bear Nation has lovingly nicknamed him) from time to [...]

Post-practice: Tuesday (BearTalk)

Posted August 5, 2008 at 10:03 pm

Monday may have been the first day of practice, but Tuesday was the first day the Bears really sunk their teeth into a lot of things. Cal eased into things Monday with mostly individual drills. Tuesday, there was much more 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 action, as well as a couple of special teams periods.
Highlights included:
–The beginning [...]

A preview (BearTalk)

Posted July 21, 2008 at 2:23 pm

I meant to post this earlier. It is a Cal season-preview by Blue Ribbon Yearbook and ESPN.com. It originally appeared on ESPN’s website about 10 days ago.
There’s really no breaking news here or a new take on things, but just another observation by a national outlet. A couple of things I would point out: I [...]

Spring Ball depth Chart (California Golden Blogs: Front Page Posts)

Posted July 5, 2008 at 8:26 pm

We had a question lately about our receivers, since we return all of 10 catches for 153 yards (thanks to LayReylle Cunningham, who provides all of those numbers.  Yes, he is the only wide receiver on the roster with a catch in a game.).  We figured that other people might be curious about our actual players in the midst of a month’s coverage on DumpyMuffs …

Day camp (BearTalk)

Posted June 7, 2008 at 9:53 pm

I dropped by Cal’s fantasy camp today for a couple of hours and, as usual, it looked to be a smashing success. I was told there were about 65 entrants this year, and enthusiasm abounded, not just from the campers, but from the players, former players and coaches on hand.
I sat in on part of [...]

Wednesday practice (BearTalk)

Posted April 9, 2008 at 10:13 pm

Quarterback Nate Longshore said today that his pulled right pectoral muscle might keep him out of the rest of spring practice. He said “if all goes well,” he might return in two weeks, which would give him a few practices before the spring session is over.
“I want to get reps, obviously,” Longshore said. “But there’s [...]

Monday practice (BearTalk)

Posted April 7, 2008 at 9:05 pm

There were several players wearing red jerseys today, meaning no contact and very limited practice. The most notable was quarterback Nate Longshore, who suffered a pulled pectoral muscle on Wednesday, according to coach Jeff Tedford. Tedford said the area is black and blue is swollen and wasn’t sure when Longshore would practice again. He said [...]

Spring practice preview: linebackers (BearTalk)

Posted March 30, 2008 at 4:23 am

The reason Cal is seriously looking at using more of a 3-4 system isn’t just because the success it had against Air Force in the Armed Forces Bowl. Indeed, that was an adjustment to specifically stop the Falcons’ offense.
But it did provide food for thought. The Bears recognize the linebackers are the strength of their [...]
