Well, Ryan Anderson is gone, and he’s not coming back. He gets to live the NBA dream, which is cool for him and all, but what about the rest of us? Next winter, when we’re still going to Haas Pavilion, rooting on our Bears, what are we gonna see? Without Ryan, what are we left with?
Well, we’ve got a shiny new coach, …
This week is a big week. Two big turning points for each Cal football and men’s basketball. On Wednesday, Cal will find out the ruling in the Memorial Stadium Court case.
But first, we find out whether Ryan Anderson will decide to stay in the draft or come back to Cal. Mike Montgomery came to Cal, because he thought that with Ryan Anderson …
Judging by the poll results and the comments on my post from last week regarding basketball scheduling, many of you are dissatisfied with Cal’s current non-conference schedule. I would share that sentiment. However, as has been pointed out, much of this year’s non-con schedule is the previous coach’s doing, whereby existing tournaments and home-and-home agreements are being honored. Perhaps in a …

I was thinking about travelling next fall, but if the fans keep on coming up with great suggestions like this, I might just buy season tickets. I’ll have to ponder it.

March Madness is over, as is Cal’s part in the annual coaching carousel, but there’s still plenty of action going on down regarding our men’s basketball program. Let’s take a look.
Yesterday, Cal officially announced the completion of Mike Montgomery’s staff. As expected, his son John will be joining the staff as director of basketball operations. [...]
A few trophies from past Cal basketball teams remain perched on a shelf. Otherwise, Mike Montgomery’s new office at Haas Pavilion is a work in progress.
Tags: Basketball, Mike MontgomeryQuarterback: My feeling at the end of the ‘07 season was that Nate Longshore might bolt for a Mormon Church Mission rather than compete for the starting job with bowl sensation Kevin Riley.
Instead, he opted to compete — creating the possibility that their duel would last through training camp and possibly stretch into the season, with neither establishing himself as the clear-cut No. 1.
And now …

Cal sophomore quarterback Kevin Riley got the biggest cheer of the day, but running backs Tracy Slocum and Covaughn DeBoskie carried most of the offensive load Saturday during a controlled scrimmage at Memorial Stadium.
Several thousand fans showed up on a sunny and unseasonably warm day to watch Cal’s only spring football practice open to the public.

Here’s the deal. California fires Ben Braun after 12 years of diminishing results, which is nothing special. But after some brief floundering, the Golden Bears hire their old nemesis, ex-Stanford coach Mike Montgomery, thereby causing many brains to melt.

Officially, Cal coach Mike Montgomery confirmed he will not be the next coach at Stanford.
Unofficially, the three players who signed to come to Stanford next season are reassessing whether they should seek a release from their commitment.

Well, because new Cal head coach Mike Montgomery did spend 18 years at Stanford, winning them conference titles and getting them to a Final Four.
So when the current Cardinal coach bolts, I’m sure there has [...]
