Downloading Simplicity…for Cal Games (TVUPlayer)

I’ve already told you about Sopcast for free TV. But it’s almost no good for college football coverage. For those of you without cable and without tickets (and without friends nearby with either), Cal-Arizona might be a little tough for some of you to view. But it’s always possible to find a way around these […]

Tomorrow is A Good Day For Revenge (Cal-Arizona Soliloquy)

[youtube XGhl5KS6fy4] November 11, 2006. One of the 5 worst sporting days of my life (I’m sure for most Cal fans it’s tops, but I’ve crossed paths with Nick Anderson, Robert Horry, Peja Stojakovic, and Wychek to Dyson. So it’s easy to say I’ve been here before.). Sometimes it’s best to move forward by looking […]

Wild About the ‘Cats? (A Look Into Arizona)

It’s finally Pac-10 time. Time to get down to the heavy artillery, where I now must amplify every game’s importance. We’ve been through Tennessee, CSU, and Louisana Tech, but these next nine games are the ones that get the Bears to the Rose Bowl…and perhaps more. Time to defend the Pac-10 crown…and this time, win […]

The Bears Are Roaring (Blog Reactions to Louisiana Tech)

Bear Talk: One thing is for certain: The offensive line continues to do the job. Yes, there were a few false start penalties, but the line provided running room for Justin Forsett and gave quarterback Nate Longshore time to throw. Cal’s O-line has been a strength all season so far. As a matter of fact, […]

Quick Hits, Cal-Louisiana Tech

Here are the ruminations from the beatdown of the Bulldogs. –I’ve been noticing it more and more, but Longshore tends to hesitate on his passes. He takes his steps back in the pocket, steps forward…then…waits one step too many to unleash the ball. It’s as if he’s trying to make the perfect throw when he […]

Nate Longshore, Airing It Deep

No official confirmation, but it looks legit (who the hell would want to fake taking Pilates classes and Ling 1A with an awesome teacher?)–Nate Longshore’s blog is up. Say what you want, but the man does seem to have a full load on his plate. And that Fall Camp Schedule definitely provides a little peak […]

Time To Start Growling (Cal-Louisiana Tech Soliloquy)

[youtube C-eKvxbrA_o] See this up there Cal fans? This was you two weeks ago when the Vols came a calling. Not hard to understand why you seemed a little groggy–in Week 1 you always seem to need a little cajoling to get those voices howling. You’ve been in hibernation for nine long months, waiting for […]

Marshawn, Pile Driver

[youtube dcIvgiNWG1g] As a Bills fan, I can’t watch the end of this clip. It’s just too painful. But from the looks of it, Marshawn seems like the first real Tedford offensive star. Now only if Kyle Boller could stop getting placed in awful situations and Brett Favre’s legs could fall off. And of course, […]

Bullish About the Dogs–A Look into Louisiana Tech

Every week, I try to interact with fans of Cal’s upcoming opponent to get an idea as to what to expect (Tennessee was Week 1, Colorado State Week 2). Every week, between the madness, the homers, and the trolls, useful information comes out. I post this in a weekly installment. This week the opponent is […]

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, […]
