Cal-USC 2009 and the Limits of Emotional Devotion to Football
Published on: 9th October, 2009
I'll say it right now, though my readers may already know: I'm as big a Cal fan as they come. A season ticket holder for three years running, a regular at noon rallies, and an eternal Rose Bowl dreamer, I can even name how many sacks reserve defensive lineman Ernest Owusu ...USC-Cal Preview: Is This The Year?

Five Golden Bears (not named Jahvid Best or Kevin Riley) who must step up Marvin Jones The sophomore wideout has been a virtual non-factor since his promising 74-yard season debut against Maryland, having caught just five total passes in Cal's last three games. If the Bears have any chance to keep the Trojans ...Bear Hunting Season: Ranking Cal’s Most Dangerous Games Left on the Schedule

It seems like everything is falling into place for Cal after the Bears' big road win over Minnesota: a No. 6 national ranking, Jahvid Best going from darkhorse to contender overnight in the Heisman circles, and an upset loss by some rival down south. The rational thing would be to devote ...Letters From A Cal Football Fan On Saturday

Dear Jeremy Ross, I temporarily take back what I said about you earlier. Way to come through in the clutch with big catches in the fourth quarter, especially on that 3rd-and-16; I have to admit, I didn't expect that from you. Let's see if we can make this effort a more consistent occurence. And ...Cal-Eastern Washington: What We Learned

Cal's backfield just got deeper Earlier, I asked about which reserves will shine for the Bears against the Eagles, and the answer seems to have come from the running back spot, as the Bears got another look at two capable runners with big play potential on Saturday. Third string tailback Covaugh Deboskie-Johnson ...Five Burning Questions: Cal vs. Eastern Washington
Published on: 12th September, 2009
1. Will Kevin Riley stay hot? The junior quarterback had an uneven season last year, but he actually started off the 2008 season well, putting up somewhat similar numbers to his opener against Maryland: 17-for-24, 202 yards and a pair of touchdowns (keep in mind, he was rotating with Nate Longshore). However, ...Four Down Territory: Ed’s Weekly Musings on College Football
Published on: 10th September, 2009
I'm going to try to make this a recurring feature for my columns, because there is more to the college football world than the California Golden Bears (as hard as it may be for me to admit that). Basically it will be a countdown of my random thoughts on collegiate pigskin; ...Revisiting My Five Burning Questions: Cal Vs. Maryland

How did Kevin Riley Debut? It's safe to say that the junior quarterback answered a lot of critics on Saturday night, completing 17-of-26 for 298 yards and four touchdowns (both career highs). While Jahvid Best did spot him a two-touchdown lead, it was nice to see Riley shake off some early ...Non-LaGarrette Blount Thoughts on Oregon-Boise State

That's right, I'm taking a break from all things Golden Bears. And that's right, I said it: this article will be free of any mention of the name of a certain Ducks running back wearing No. 9. Anyways, I wanted to start out by setting up my anticipation of this game, which ...California Love: A Tribute To the Golden Bears’ 2009 Football Season
Published on: 31st August, 2009
I realize that this is not a traditional article, but I decided that the kickoff to Cal's season is too important and amazing to describe in prose. So without further ado, I present my rap stylings (to the beat of 2Pac's "California Love", featuring Dr. Dre). Please comment and me know if ...Featured Sponsors
