BREAKING NEWS! Request for retrial withdrawn (Excuse Me For My Voice)

Posted August 15, 2008 at 4:03 pm

Post-practice: Saturday (BearTalk)

Posted August 9, 2008 at 9:24 pm

Don’t ever let anyone tell you practice doesn’t matter. The Bears had their first double-day Saturday, and the evening session was a lively one. It culminated with a big commotion at the end of situational action, when the offense and defense engaged in a dispute whether wide receiver Marvin Jones was inbounds after hauling down [...]

The Open Door Policy (Bears Necessity)

Posted August 8, 2008 at 9:17 am

I’d like to talk a lot about practice or the overall merit of it; not that I think it’ll have too much correlation with how Cal performs this season. But of course the usual rules are in effect–practice is closed except to a few beat reporters like Okanes from the Contra Costa Times and Andrew [...]ShareThis

Quick update, then more (BearTalk)

Posted August 4, 2008 at 9:31 pm

A quick check-in as I wrap things up from Memorial Stadium. The first day of practice ran late and I just finished things up for tomorrow’s paper. I’ll get more in-depth later, but here are a few quick notes:
Biggest news: Projected starting left tackle Mike Tepper is out with a pectoral injury and pulled hamstring. [...]

Happy first day of training camp (BearTalk)

Posted August 4, 2008 at 3:23 pm

It’s finally arrived. Today essentially is the beginning of the 2008 season. Cal holds its first practice of the fall at 6 p.m. this evening at Memorial Stadium. T-minus three hours and counting.
A word about camp coverage. We’ll have something in the paper almost every day — probably six days a week. In general, I should [...]

Now playing for Cal: Uh, I don’t know his name. Who’s number 34 this year? (Excuse Me For My Voice)

Posted July 29, 2008 at 2:16 pm

There’s nothing that cures a season-killing streak in which you lose six of seven games like… removing names from your uniforms?
So says Jeff Tedford in today’s Chronicle:
Maybe as jarring as the gold stripe down the middle of the new Cal helmets, will be the lack of names on the back of the newly designed jerseys. [...]

Mr. CBKWit Goes to Berkeley, Part I (California Golden Blogs: Front Page Posts)

Posted July 28, 2008 at 1:07 am

Life is generally not much like a Kevin Costner movie (well, like his movies, life often sucks, but the details are different - I have never battled Dennis Hopper on a futuristic gunboat, for one), but last Thursday was no ordinary day.  After two failed attempts, I had the opportunity to play Jimmy Stewart and cast my swing vote

Looking Back on ‘07: Louisiana Tech (Excuse Me For My Voice)

Posted July 11, 2008 at 3:29 pm

The 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 [...]
