The Bears Are Roaring (Blog Reactions to Louisiana Tech)

Bear Talk: One thing is for certain: The offensive line continues to do the job. Yes, there were a few false start penalties, but the line provided running room for Justin Forsett and gave quarterback Nate Longshore time to throw. Cal’s O-line has been a strength all season so far.
As a matter of fact, it [...]

Quick Hits, Cal-Louisiana Tech

Here are the ruminations from the beatdown of the Bulldogs.
–I’ve been noticing it more and more, but Longshore tends to hesitate on his passes. He takes his steps back in the pocket, steps forward…then…waits one step too many to unleash the ball. It’s as if he’s trying to make the perfect throw when he should [...]

Nate Longshore, Airing It Deep

No official confirmation, but it looks legit (who the hell would want to fake taking Pilates classes and Ling 1A with an awesome teacher?)–Nate Longshore’s blog is up.

Time To Start Growling (Cal-Louisiana Tech Soliloquy)

See this up there Cal fans? This was you two weeks ago when the Vols came a calling. Not hard to understand why you seemed a little groggy–in Week 1 you always seem to need a little cajoling to get those voices howling. You’ve been in hibernation for nine long months, waiting for the [...]

Marshawn, Pile Driver

As a Bills fan, I can’t watch the end of this clip. It’s just too painful. But from the looks of it, Marshawn seems like the first real Tedford offensive star. Now only if Kyle Boller could stop getting placed in awful situations and Brett Favre’s legs could fall off.
And of course, I’m always happy [...]

Bullish About the Dogs–A Look into Louisiana Tech

Every week, I try to interact with fans of Cal’s upcoming opponent to get an idea as to what to expect (Tennessee was Week 1, Colorado State Week 2). Every week, between the madness, the homers, and the trolls, useful information comes out. I post this in a weekly installment. This week the opponent is [...]

Even McClellan Mounted Stronger Offensives

I should have seen this coming. Either way, I didn’t really care.
While we didn’t mention race in our piece, the loquacious Avinash felt the need to make ethnic cracks regarding the robbery suspects. In his Bears Necessity post, he wrote:
Man, black people sure haven’t forgotten how to run. Not sure why they went UPHILL though…
Um, [...]
