Around SBN: Jerry Sandusky's Wife Tries To Run A Reporter Over

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 ManningBlog Roundtable.  Inside Cal's Numbers.

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