The Bears Are Roaring (Blog Reactions to Colorado State)
The California Golden Blogs Hydrotech: “Oh yes, the air up there. Longshore wasn’t off. Yes, his balls were 1 to 3 feet too far out in front of our WRs on deep balls, but that’s because of the air up there. Cut Longshore some slack. It’s hard to adjust to thinner air. Think about it, […]
California-Colorado State, Live
I’ll start off the live blog around kickoff. Hang in tight fellas. 11:04–I have to give props to the Rams for actually bringing an actual Ram across the field. I think we’re a long way from bringing bears, although Knut would have been a great possibility a few months ago. Oh well. 11:10–Mmm, a 3 […]
Back to Normal–I Hope (Cal-Colorado State Soliloquy)
[youtube gQAE_jXrH04] After the exhausting buildup for the past several months to last week’s game, Colorado State is a welcome relief this weekend. It’s peaceful up in the mountains, so we’re sure the Bears will lay back at Fort Collins, do their annual drubbing of their two pushovers on the schedule, and move onto the […]
Ramming It Home–A Look Into Colorado State
Obviously, the foray into Vol Nation last week to preview the Tennessee game was the biggest step this fledging blog has taken into the mainstream. Some of them might have been obnoxious homers, but hell they were confident. It was infectious, and it was definitely foreign territory. The last time I was that confident in […]
The Bears Are Roaring (Leftovers from Cal-Tennessee)
So I said I’d write up some analytical thoughts…but the Cal football blogosphere seems to already be a thousand steps ahead of me. It makes my job easier to focus on the mundane and the sublime, and turn over the analysis to them. Here are my remaining thoughts, mostly directed toward the inconsqeuential. —The Mic […]
Rocky, But on Top–Cal-Tennessee Recap
In a word? Satisfying. This game was utterly satisfying, considering all the hype, the motivation, the stakes. I felt the anxiety growing in the pit of my stomach as early as Thursday, and it just grew more stark as the hours rolled by. It wasn’t fear of Tennessee, although I knew there was a good […]
Volunteer For the Cause (Cal-Tennessee Soliloquy)
I remember tuning into this game, watching for about ten minutes, slowly lowering my head into my legs, assuming the fetal position, and eventually proclaiming “It’s over” by halftime. Wasn’t sure if I meant the game, the offense or the season, but you have to credit Cal for hanging in there after this game–they were […]
The War Has Already Begun. And Ended.
The site of battle: The Oaks outside Memorial stadium. The soldiers at arms, seen here wearing traditional Haradin gear (either that or we’ve found our local terrorist cell) are already beginning their steadfast defense of their majesties of nature. Unfortunately for the bloodthirsty (seriously, I think their diet doesn’t contain enough iron, they desperately need […]
The Bears Are Roaring (Cal Football Season Preview)
The California Golden Blogs lead off with with their roundtable discussions of Cal and their Pac-10 rivals: USC, Oregon, OSU, Washington, WSU, Arizona, ASU, UCLA, Stanford are all discussed. On a lighter note, if you’re thinking of the best places to march to on a Pac-10 road trip, get your plane tickets ready for Seattle […]
Down The Field to Tennessee (Cal Football Season Preview)
The time to this season’s kickoff can be counted now in the mere hours (just over seventy-two away from starting things off at Memorial Stadium). Who has the advantage? Let’s find out from the other side–Volunteers fans. I wonder where their allegiances could lie. These are all genuine responses from Vols fans at their message […]
