Posted August 16, 2008 at 9:42 pmGood news and bad news on former Cal wide receiver Lavelle Hawkins. The good news is he caught a 51-yard touchdown pass during the Tennessee Titans’ preseason win over the Raiders last night. The bad news is he sprained an ankle later in the game. No word yet how long he will be out.
Hawkins added [...]

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 [...]

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 …

Posted July 13, 2008 at 7:09 pmIt’s summer. Summer is long and there is little sports news to report. Thus, we here at the CGB are having a hard time filling content this summer.

Posted July 11, 2008 at 3:29 pmThe pre-game Storyline:
After a sub-par performance the previous week, the now #8 Bears would need a better performance against Louisiana Tech to continue to get respect with the pollsters. Nevertheless, the Bulldogs were expected to be an easy team for the Bears to beat.
The pre-game reality:
Every BCS team should fear playing a solid WAC [...]

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.

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. [...]

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.
