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 […]
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?
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 […]
We All Need to Smile A Little
What’s the cutest opponent to lose to? Vote in the sidebar. Beaver? [youtube cKTx8vbzP14] Baby bears? [youtube vf_PZnlg-1U] Or the closest thing I could find to a sun devil, the kangaroo rat? [youtube cXZpqwIDX4k]
Burned Alive (Report Card, Cal-ASU)
It’s funny. I saw this game before. I was only 7 years old, beginning my descent into perpetual sports agony. My Buffalo Bills were making their last Super Bowl appearance, and they were certain underdogs against a Dallas Cowboys team that ravaged them a year ago. Nevertheless, they rallied together for an inspired thirty minutes […]
Watch Cal-Arizona State Online…Well, Most Of It
Okay, here’s the deal. There will be a stream available Saturday night, but only for part of the game. Cal-Arizona State’s starting at 10:00 (kickoff at 8), but the person who will be streaming this game is also streaming Ohio State-Penn State, which will likely be in the 3rd quarter when the Bears and Devils […]
Stoking the Fire (A Look Into Arizona State)
I usually do previews with the opposing fans for Cal’s upcoming game on their respective message boards (if you want to see a sample or two, click here for the Vols, Rams, Bulldogs, Wildcats, Ducks, and Beavers). You might have noticed I passed on UCLA last week, partly because I was ill, partly because I […]
