Why Tedford Sticks With Longshore

I know most of you are disgusted with Nate, who really did not perform well at all tonight. You know things are going pretty badly for you when the most exciting part of the entire game is seeing you hindered on the field and your backup looking ready and willing to enter the huddle. That […]

The Lights Go Out (USC-Cal Open Thread)

And so it will be for the California Golden Bears at Memorial in 2007. What looked to once be a showdown for the Pac-10 crown now is looking like a consolation trip to whatever third-tier bowl awaits the two of us. And you can only wonder at what could have been… You wonder if our […]

This Is What Selling Out to Nike Brings You?

[youtube J1NyaTVUhFQ] In terms of another famous animated duck…I want it! I want it I want it I WANT IT! Oh. I mean…I’m pretty sure Golden Bear athletes would gladly desire at least 10 percent of these facilities. Other than, you know, female urinals. You know what? Forget about BP, let’s get Adidas pumping money […]

Action Jackson Preview, Week 11

This isn’t exactly the highest profile week for college football–the real meat is still a week or two away. College Gameday can’t really find a compelling matchup, so they’re taking a quickie to Williams College and watching them battle Amherst. Lord, even the Division III schools get high end coverage in New England. Sickening. Here […]

Breaking Down the Playcalling, Part I

Sometimes you can just look at the calls. I’m going to go more in depth into this when the season is over, but for now let’s focus on the simple details of playcalling. In general, to be good at anything, you strive for balance. Balance between how much you work and play, balance between the […]

Pac-10, Up and Down

Taking a look at the conference, the Pac-10 has never looked stronger. No one will finish with ten losses this year, and the team that might finish last (UW) has the hardest schedule in all of Divison I. Respectable year for the Pac-10, which probably has asserted itself as at least the second best football […]

Cal-Wazzu and Cal-ASU Torrents

Wazzu is available here; ASU is available here. Enjoy. (Special thanks to chicagoaubear from The Bear Insider) You will need some ISO burning software to view the files, which I guess could be either Nero or one of the freeware options (Active ISO Burner might be one of the better options). What is a torrent?

Reveal the Contenders–Action Jackson Recap, Week 10

Man, this seems familiar. Up-and-coming Pac-10 contender rebounds from a devastating early season loss. Rebounds to crush the remaining schedule including several clutch home wins going into the stretch run. Loses a hideous trap game at Arizona where everything could go wrong. Are dead men walking going into LA and eventually fall short against the […]

Deflecting Away Defeat–Cal-Wazzu Report Card

As usual, butchering Tightwad’s style of analysis. Forgive me. Quarterback: C+. Watching Longshore in person for the first time…I feel pretty bad for him, especially getting those scattered boos. That ankle might be closer to healed than it’s ever been, but right now he’s not throwing the deep ball with much confidence. That pick was […]

The Cougars Growl–A Look Into Washington State

[metacafe 99814] People might recognize my laxness in posting of late. I assure you if Cal takes care of business Saturday night, they will grow more frequent by next week. I’m not neglecting this on purpose, but some detoxing from Cal football is just plain healthy after the worst October in half a decade. As […]
