Which Tedford Team Was Your Favorite?

A simple question for every Blue and Gold fan out there. Which year produced your favorite Tedford team?
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 [...]

Faster Than Your Average Bear

With all signs still pointing towards Jahvid Best being fully recovered for next year, and it looking like the Bears will have at least one RB with gametime experience, I found myself asking “hey, how good is Jahvid Best anyway?” My general impression is “quite good.” But with only one truncated season to judge, its [...]

Leon Powe is Roaring

The NBA, where 4 points 4 rebounds in nine minutes happens.

Click to read Part I and Part II of the Rose Bowl series.
As the game progressed, DeWayne Walker seemed to take into account the adjustments Cal was making to his UCLA defense. Here you can see him revert from the Cover 4 and go back to the Cover 2.
