Cal v. Arizona 10.18.08 2nd Quarter Thread
Cal is taking on the Desert Storm! GO BEARS! Here is the Pre-Game Thread.
Since it's not a home game, some of us are near computers, so we don't have to put up all those threads at once. Plus, they have this new thing where you can schedule a post to publish at a certain time. So, we'll try that. Also, happy birthday to yellow fever!
That said, use this post to discuss the game's second quarter action. And don't forget to vote in our California Golden Blogs Insta-Poll! Democracy In Action, people!
If you missed some posts this week, here are a few to check out. Nate Longshore, doing a Peyton Manning? Blog Roundtable. Inside Cal's Numbers.

Defensive gameplan is typical Gregory; zone defenses, not sending lots of pass rushers

we really need to get a good pass rush from our DL - right now we're not

Cal probably shouldn't blitz too much since UA is so fast, and UA is screening frequently

Also short passes can break out for big gains in the spread offense set if the tackling is this shoddy.

freaking fox sports prime ticket (socal)
because of the stupid MLS game that went overtime, they started the game around 7:35, but instead of cutting directly to the live feed, they chose to begin the game tape-delayed.. I hate LA.
how are we down 14-7???

the only thing i do these days is watch for that

Dude, if you want to comment on Nate, wait for him to come onto the field. No point in rambling when he won’t come on while UA is on it’s offensive series.
OK, just tell me when he looks good...and then we'll be good

Thank God for Jahvid. If we don't get the best out of Best we will lose. (-;
P.S. WTF was the dive for? Dummy.
NICE!
Way to rush more than 3, I like it!

You know
Watching the FSN feed makes me feel better. Too many red bars on the Comcast feed. Then again, Jahvid’s TD might have taken some of the anxiety away.
LA tv coverage
is anybody else watching fsn prime ticket?

He's been terrible
RIley would’ve thrown 21 completions for 21 TDs.

I hope the defense can hold onto this before the half.
Yeah, I’m a glass half empty kind of guy when it comes to Cal FB
LMAO
Well, well, well…. Nothing will please me more than to see Nate continue to make an ass out of me. Keep it up Nate!
Cal defense took two less quarters to adjust than they did at Maryland.

i hate how CSN zooms in so much on the play, so you can't see what else is going on down the field.
www.californiagoldenblogs.com
same here.
I know what a punt looks like, I want to see where it’s going to land and who is there.
ಠ_ಠ
well, glad it was a safe running play. cause if it was a pass
i would expect the worst.
alaska A (now in Colorado)
I suppose Cal is taking these timeouts??? Does CSN want to tell us who is taking these timeouts????

Anyone watch the end of the BC VT game?
Two coaching staffs and team that look like they were dropped on their heads many times as children
3rd quarter thread/halftime thread is up. So, lets move there in just a moment.
