(No Ratings Yet)Ask Yellow Fever (with video!) (California Golden Blogs: Front Page Posts)
Posted July 21, 2008 at 6:18 pmBeano hasn’t been around for a while, since I think he’s probably trying to get all of the Big East fans off his lawn. And his chat from last month never seems to have been added to the archives. Sorry.
As a result, I decided that in Beano’s place I would use Stewart Mandel’s mailbag from last week since it was more Pac-10 heavy …
(No Ratings Yet)What’s It Like Following A College Team? (Bears Necessity)
Posted July 21, 2008 at 1:47 amThere is always a deterministic sense of following hometown teams. I would guess that the majority of Cal fans are also Bay Area fans (or SoCal counterparts), and their emotions fall and rise with the As and the Giants, the 49ers and the Raiders, Warriors and Sharks. You associate with these teams earlier, it’ll always [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: “What’s It Like Following A College Team?”, url: …

Posted July 18, 2008 at 8:26 amSince the inception of the AP poll in 1934 (and probably long before), college football fans have wondered which powerhouse team was the best in the country. The AP poll was created to generate interest in and sell newspapers, goals it has achieved admirably. The ink spilled today (most of it now virtual) over the annual debate about the national rankings is impressive, to say …

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 [...]

The 2002 team was the virgin experience. Kyle Boller, the beginning of Geoff MacArthur’s productive career, good offensive production.
The 2003 team struggled with what one might call a sophomore slump. Took Rodgers about half the season to find [...]SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: “Which Tedford Team Was Your Favorite?”, url: “http://bearsnecessity.com/cal-football/which-tedford-team-was-your-favorite/” …
