Breaking Down the Cover Two (Cal at UCLA, 2007)
UCLA has one of the most feared defenses in the Pac-10. Their defense is not only very talented, their coordinator DeWayne Walker is one of the best in the biz. He mixes packages, his corners play great on the edges, his run defense stuffs everyone on 1st down. So the only ways for an offensive [...]
Spring Forward
Hey All. Since I’ll be posting here on a regular basis, Avinash suggested I introduce myself. For those of you who don’t know me already, I’m a 2000 Cal alum currently living and practicing law in New York. Thanks to Avinash for the opportunity to contribute to the discussion and thanks to [...]
Let The Eagles Soar (NFL Draft Recap)
DeSean Jackson was once slated to go in the top ten of the NFL Draft. Now he’s bound for a city which is not going to take kindly to underachieving, and they won’t even care too much if he underachieves because of how low he fell on the draft board.
I have little to say that [...]
KC Cal’s Weekly Super Fantastic Happy Explosion Awesome Article: The Draft
Hi everyone. My name is KC Cal, and Avinash has kindly let me fill in for him for a weekly segment over here at the Bears Necessity. I also run a blog at The Play in California. I excel at making up characters like Emo Alex Smith, Impatient Aaron Rodgers, and other [...]
The Golden Bears Are Getting Drafted
Oh, really? It’s tomorrow? Okay then…
Well, DeSean Jackson has been taken through the ropes the past few days. Like here. And here. And here. And here. He’s not exactly getting the benefit of the doubt.
If anything, I’m flabbergasted at how overhyped translates into overrated. The MEDIA overhyped him, and now they’re taking a dump on [...]
Cal Gals: Morgan Webb
Morgan Webb is one of those Berkeley treasures that makes you happy to be alive. A true hot nerd who loves playing video games. She’s the only reason I’ve ever stopped to watch G4. She makes me feel love inside. She makes me hope that one day, I will be able to associate with [...]
No Stars, Better Team?
As spring moves along, we get the usual, upbeat note, after a season relegated to the Dark Ages.
Sure enough, senior linebacker Zack Follett said he first noticed an uptick in the team’s mood even before spring ball.
“Right when we hit the weight room,” he said.
But this good vibe seems to transcend what happened last year, [...]
Black Swans of Cal Football

Today I’m handing it to Tony, a longtime commenter on [...]
Cal Volleyball All-Star of the Week: Angie Pressey
(Hat-tip to long time reader Danzig for the pictures)
As usual, I have overlooked other Cal sports over the past…seven months, and during this long, interminable offseason I hope to reward our good teams with feature posts.
So let’s start with the Cal Volleyball All-Stars. By all-stars, I mean girls with sparkling all-around bodies of work. This [...]
Cal Gals: Brooke Berry
If you thought that Iliana Fischer was hot stuff, it’s time to bring out the five-star recruits.
Here we have the authentic Berkeley feel with the flowery shirt and the UC Berkeley bumper sticker, right along with the 70s trucker. See, if the treesitters looked like this, I’d have more sympathy for their cause. Or at [...]
