Significant Terps: Cal – Maryland Preview
(Just a programming note: Cal-Maryland liveblog starts at 11:30-11:45 AM EST, 8:30-8:45 AM PST. Mmm, bleary-eyed.) Offense-We’re not so different after all: In a hotly debated quarterback controversy, both Jordan Steffy and Chris Turner had their roles to play in the 2007 season. After Steffy epitomized the low-risk offense (67.3 completion percentage with 98 yards […]
Internet Radio Lives
Here’s a plug for any college football fans with functioning ears. Some Cal fan named “Eric” who allegedly blogs for something called the California Golden Blogs discusses Cal football on this week’s CFB Weekly internet radio show. The show happens to be hosted by my buddy and former roommate Aaron, who despite secretly being a shameless homer for his unnamed alma mater, dispenses nothing but […]
We Are All Classless
Blogpoll remains the same. Come on guys, more input! One last Washington State topic before moving onto the Terps: The so-called classlessness of Jeff Tedford. Wait, WHAT? Even Cal fans might not remember it because they were too busy getting plastered over treesitter hysteria and other assorted madness. Let’s let CougCenter revisit this seeming non-starter. […]
Requiem for a Tree Sit
Too much ink has already been spilled on a fiasco that is, finally, mercifully, over. But I did want to offer a final thought on the erstwhile occupation of the trees. Although the protesters squatted in the trees for nearly two years, their presence was completely inconsequential for all but five days. Until last Thursday, the University, in deference to the rule […]
Who Had The Better Week 1, Aaron Rodgers or Brett Favre?
You are likely to hear these two names mentioned in the same sentence a lot this season: Aaron Rodgers and Brett Favre. There is really no way around it for Rodgers, the unproven new Packer starter, who is going to be under the public microscope for the entire season as his stat-lines are compared to […]

For a Little Perspective
While we digest the good, great and not so great from yesterday’s game, here’s a little something to reflect on. I went back into the record books to answer a few questions I had. When was the last time Cal beat a conference opponent, on the road, by at least 63 points? Answer: Never. When […]
Cal – Washington State Report Card
Every week the Golden Bears play a game, I write up a report card. You can click to read the extensive Michigan State one from last week. Here are the final grades from that 66-3 smashing. Quarterbacks: Nate Longshore clearly inserted himself back into the quarterback competition with a strong second half performance, completing 7 […]
