(No Ratings Yet)One man’s picks (BearTalk)
Posted July 23, 2008 at 3:05 pmWith the Pac-10 preseason media poll being released tomorrow at Pac-10 media day, I thought I would share my picks. This is a very difficult year to figure out the pecking order of the conference. More so than ever, the Pac-10 appears to be USC followed by everybody else. I basically see the conference broken [...]

Posted July 22, 2008 at 2:11 pmI’ve been meaning to mention that the new Pac-10 blog over at ESPN.com is pretty good. Ted Miller, formerly of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, runs the blog and he’s spent the past week or so ranking the different positions in the conference. Today, he ranked defensive tackles and had Cal’s Derrick Hill at No. 7. I [...]

Posted July 17, 2008 at 2:50 pmCal commit Allan Bridgford from Mission Viejo has been selected for the Elite 11 quarterback camp, a four-day event featuring the top prep quarterbacks in the country. The 11 signal-callers are whittled down from a field of over 1,000, so Bridgford clearly is among the cream of the crop nationally.
The even will be held in [...]

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 7, 2008 at 2:52 amWe’re inching towards kickoff–and by inching, I mean baseball season sucks. Over the next few weeks, I’m going to be eyeing several key points of Cal’s 2008 season, culminating with the crucial quarterback battle. I’ll start by discussing our new offensive coordinator and what his playcalling and personality at Fresno State was like.
