(No Ratings Yet)Cal (BearTalk)
Posted July 24, 2008 at 11:32 amI’ll have much more when there’s time, but a couple of highlights from Cal’s time at the podium:
–Jeff Tedford addressed the quarterback situation and said he likely will name the starter during the first week of the season. At other times, Tedford has said he may keep evaluating the situation into the first game. But [...]
(No Ratings Yet)A preview (BearTalk)
Posted July 21, 2008 at 2:23 pmI meant to post this earlier. It is a Cal season-preview by Blue Ribbon Yearbook and ESPN.com. It originally appeared on ESPN’s website about 10 days ago.
There’s really no breaking news here or a new take on things, but just another observation by a national outlet. A couple of things I would point out: I [...]
(No Ratings Yet)Spring Ball depth Chart (California Golden Blogs: Front Page Posts)
Posted July 5, 2008 at 8:26 pmWe had a question lately about our receivers, since we return all of 10 catches for 153 yards (thanks to LayReylle Cunningham, who provides all of those numbers. Yes, he is the only wide receiver on the roster with a catch in a game.). We figured that other people might be curious about our actual players in the midst of a month’s coverage on DumpyMuffs …

Posted June 7, 2008 at 9:53 pmI dropped by Cal’s fantasy camp today for a couple of hours and, as usual, it looked to be a smashing success. I was told there were about 65 entrants this year, and enthusiasm abounded, not just from the campers, but from the players, former players and coaches on hand.
I sat in on part of [...]

Posted May 31, 2008 at 2:00 pm2:34 p.m. Cal goes quietly in the second inning. Jackson makes some solid contact but flies out to center, Blake Smith strikes out on a breaking ball in the dirt and Dylan Tonneson grounds out harmlessly to third base.
Bennigson’s out to start the third inning. If you’re a glass-half-full kind of person, you can focus [...]

Posted May 30, 2008 at 9:34 amBaseball isn’t like basketball. Or even Baseketball for that matter. If baseball were like basketball, all Cal would have to do is beat U of SD this Friday to move on to the next round. And if baseball were like Baseketball, all the Bears would have to do is beat USD and hope that Denver beats Atlanta in the American Southwestern Division …

On Tuesday night I went to Gordon Biersch in San Francisco to attend the Coaches Tour event. There was a much smaller turnout than Monday’s event in Pleasant Hill. Only about 150 people were probably in attendance despite the 250 or so who had registered.
Here are my notes from the night:

Posted May 10, 2008 at 9:32 amYesterday, Avinash wrote a trite and insightful piece on his take about the Bissinger-Deadspin controversy. It is true that sometimes we like to mock and joke on our favorite team when they’re down in the dirt just a little. Yet at the same time, I also ask the question: is that so bad?

Posted April 23, 2008 at 10:46 pmCal’s offense had one of its better practices of the spring, as quarterback Kevin Riley had one his best sessions in a while, as did the Bears’ receivers.
Riley looked more confident during the two-minute drill near the beginning of practice, dealing with the defense’s pass rush to complete short passes to Nyan Boateng and Tad [...]

Posted April 21, 2008 at 9:28 pmThe Bears began the final week of the spring with a pretty lively practice at a frigid Memorial Stadium on Monday night. As has been the case for most of the spring, the defense has outplayed the offense.
As the Bears do often at practice, they practice the two-minute drill near the beginning. The first two [...]

Posted April 21, 2008 at 4:14 pmThe last Spring Practice is this Saturday. I’ll be heading down watch and do a couple interviews. The point of this post is to ask for nominations for who to interview. It should be one of the players who has not yet been interviewed by Rivals/BearTerritory.net. Those players are:
Shane Vereen
Brock Mansion

Posted April 18, 2008 at 9:47 pmFirst of all, thanks to all for all of your well-wishes. Now, back to business:
The Bears went a little shorter than usual Friday because they have a morning practice on Saturday. Most of their practice focused on fundamentals and going through plays, with only a brief session of 11-on-11 near the end of the session.
Some formerly injured players – linebackers Zack Follett [...]
