The Bears will start game planning for Michigan State tomorrow. Apparently, the Spartans are doing the same thing about Cal.

Posted August 19, 2008 at 10:09 pmIt’s amazing how much information you get when you actually have to depend on other people to give it to you.
Tuesday’s second and final scrimmage of training camp was closed to the media. Reporters were let into the stadium just as practice was winding down. I got inside just in time to see David Seawright [...]

Posted August 18, 2008 at 6:45 pmLots of varying predictions about what Cal’s season is going to look like only confirms one thing: Someone on this list is going to look damned stupid.

–ESPN.com’s Ted Miller doesn’t break any news, but has a pretty good piece on Jahvid Best. The message? Best is fast.

But practically, camp ends Tuesday with the team’s final scrimmage of the fall. Wednesday, the Bears will start preparing for Michigan State.
The highlight of Sunday’s practice was the red zone [...]

–Kevin Riley slightly outplayed Nate Longshore at quarterback, and has been coming on lately. The past 4 or 5 days, Riley seems to be improving his accuracy, cutting down on mistakes and playing with more confidence. [...]

Coach Jeff Tedford didn’t break much news, but he did seem to imply that he wouldn’t wait until the first week of the season to name a quarterback if one of them earned it.
“It would be nice if [...]
