(No Ratings Yet)Post-practice: Thursday (BearTalk)
Posted August 7, 2008 at 11:31 pmThe primary storyline to Thursday’s practice was quarterback Kevin Riley being given the opportunity to work exclusively with the first team. Working on the hurry-up offense with full squads, Riley’s first pass was a 30-yard completion to Michael Calvin on a wheel pattern down the left sideline.
The sophomore signal-caller had his ups and downs during Thursday’s workout. His nicest pass [...]

Posted August 5, 2008 at 10:03 pmMonday 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.

Highlights included:
–The beginning [...]

Posted July 5, 2008 at 8:26 pmWe 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 …

Posted April 25, 2008 at 9:31 pmFridays have been a light day of practice this spring because the Bears have been practicing in full pads on Saturday morning, and this time was no different. Cal went for about 1 hour, 45 minutes instead of the typical 2½-hour practice, and it included no crossover where the offense goes against the defense 11-on-11. [...]

Posted April 23, 2008 at 10:46 pmCal’s offense had one of its better practices of the spring, as quarterback Kevin Riley had one his best sessions in a while, as did the Bears’ receivers.
Riley looked more confident during the two-minute drill near the beginning of practice, dealing with the defense’s pass rush to complete short passes to Nyan Boateng and Tad [...]

Posted April 18, 2008 at 9:47 pmFirst of all, thanks to all for all of your well-wishes. Now, back to business:

Posted April 11, 2008 at 10:29 pmThe Bears held a shorter-than-usual practice Friday in preparation for Saturday’s psuedo-scrimmage. Cal’s practices are broken up into 5-minute periods and typically go somewhere between 20-25 periods. Friday’s practice was 18 periods and was mostly a fundamental-oriented practice with limited work with 11-on-11s.
Coach Jeff Tedford said Saturday’s practice won’t be a true scrimmage but will [...]
