But can it ever compare to Cougar Week? I don't know. I mean Beaver Week is Beavers. It has many Beavers. But Cougar Week is Cougars. It has many Cougars.
So, in my mind at least, its hard to tell which one is better. Beaver Week. Or Cougar Week. Beaver Week. Or Cougar Week.
Well, let's leave this up to the people. What do you like more? Vote at the end of the post.
A lot of info on recruits today. Women's v-ball:
BERKELEY - The California volleyball team has signed four recruits to letters of intent to compete with the Golden Bears as a part of the incoming 2009 freshman class. Among the signees, Cal received commitments from three middle hitters and the nation's top senior setter.
"This incoming class is really special and each of the players brings an intangible specialty of their own," said head coach Rich Feller. "We are beyond excited about what the future holds with the talent that these players bring with them."
The most highly-regarded senior setter in the nation and one of 2009's most sought-after recruits, Elly Barrett (Westlake HS/Austin, Texas) is as accomplished as prep volleyball players come. She led her team to the Texas state finals in 2005 and 2007 and was named a 2007 PrepVolleyball.com High School All-American. Among her many all-tournament and MVP accolades, Barrett holds the distinction of having led her Junior Olympics team to the 2008 title, garnering MVP honors on the way.
"Elly is a highly talented and athletic setter and will only continue to grow and become better when she arrives at Cal," said Feller. "She has a marvelous leadership quality about her and has a lot of experience guiding her teams to great heights. Her calm on-court demeanor is unflappable and to top it all off, her volleyball skills are wrapped up in what we can only call a truly winning personality."
Local product Katherine Brown (St. Francis Central Coast Catholic HS/Watsonville, Calif.) helped lead her club team as the starting middle blocker, to the U18 American Division National Championship in 2008 at the Junior Olympics and was a PrepVolleyball.com Top Senior Ace this season. She has regularly appeared on top-players lists throughout her career at St. Francis and as just a sophomore, Brown was a finalist for the Santa Cruz Sentinel All-County Athlete of the Year award.
BERKELEY - Seven highly-ranked student-athletes, all of whom are ranked in the top 50 by at least one scouting service, have signed National Letters of Intent to play basketball at California beginning with the 2009-10 season, Golden Bear head coach Joanne Boyle announced Wednesday.
The combination of the seven incoming players has given Cal the No. 1 ranked recruiting class in the nation, according to Blue Star Basketball Report. Cal's recruiting class is ranked No. 2 by All-Star Girls Report and the Collegiate Girls Basketball Report, with ESPN HoopGurlz ranking the class at No. 3.
Included in the Bears freshman class of 2009-10 are two Bay Area standouts, Sacred Heart Cathedral High's Tierra Rogers and Pinole Valley High's DeNesha Stallworth, who will be joining four Southern California prep stars, Talia Caldwell of Marlborough High in Los Angeles, Layshia Clarendon of Cajon High in San Bernadino, Eliza Pierre of John Muir High in Pasadena, and Gennifer Brandon of Chatsworth High in Sylmar, and one Oregon product, Brenna Heater of Ashland High in Ashland. Of the seven Bear recruits, five are rated in the top ten at their position (as ranked by ESPN HoopGurlz) and all are in the top 15.
"We are extremely excited about this class," said Boyle. "They bring a ton of individual talent and athleticism as well as a great basketball IQ. There is a good balance between posts and guards, but most importantly, I think this group of athletes is a fantastic fit with the chemistry we already have on the team. Their personalities and styles of play are going to mesh really well with what we already have in place."
BERKELEY - Three California high school standouts - pitcher Jolene Henderson, infielder Jordan Wallace and catcher Lindsey Ziegenhirt - have signed National Letters of Intent to join the University of California softball program for the 2009-10 season, Golden Bears head coach Diane Ninemire announced Wednesday.
"I feel that this is a really strong class," said Ninemire. "All three are very accomplished players on the field and in the classroom. They are all very strong academically. Jolene is one of the top pitching prospects in the country and she has led her team to the top of the national rankings. She is the type of pitcher we need in our program. We are also glad to have her teammate, Lindsey, who has been catching Jolene for four straight years. We're fortunate to have a catcher of her caliber. She is going to provide the necessary leadership behind the plate with her catching skills and will bring a big bat to the lineup. And Jordan is a big-time power hitter with great range. She is just a tremendous athlete who can provide a lot of depth to this team."
Henderson, from Sheldon High School in Sacramento, has a bevy of high school accolades on her resume, including an ESPN/Under Armor All-American nod, and first-team all-league and All-Metro honors in 2008. She garnered Player of the Year honors from the Sacramento Bee and CalHi Sports in 2007 when she earned first-team all-league and All-Metro honors, as well. Henderson registered a 0.17 ERA in 2006, a 0.47 in 2007 and a 0.41 in 2008. She also posted a .400 batting average in 2008.
And, of course, the info you wanted:
BERKELEY - University of California men's basketball coach Mike Montgomery announced the signing of two players - Bak Bak and Markhuri Sanders-Frison - to National Letters of Intent Wednesday.
Bak is a 6-10, 200-pound forward out of Village Christian High School in Sun Valley, Calif., while Sanders-Frison is a 6-8, 265-pound junior center from South Plains Community College in Levelland, Texas.
Originally from Sudan and raised in Nairobi, Kenya, Bak spent last summer playing with the Double Pump AAU team. After moving to the United States, he attended the American Heritage School in Plantation, Fla. for 2006-07, but did not play basketball. Bak then relocated to California in the fall of 2007, sitting out last season as a transfer at Valley Christian HS.
"Bak Bak is a very talented big kid who can shoot the ball well and has good ball handling skills," said Montgomery. "He needs to get stronger, but we fully expect him to flourish in our system. He has a world of experience and we are looking forward to having him in our program."
Sanders-Frison originally attended Jefferson HS in Portland, Ore, where he averaged 10 ppg and 8 rpg, helping the team to three city titles. Last year, he helped Eastern Arizona College to a 30-6 record and contributed 10 ppg and 10 rpg. EAC, located in Thatcher, Ariz., defeated Arizona Western College in the Region I Tournament final, 69-58, to advance to the NJCAA National Tournament. EAC then captured the fifth-place game with a 70-63 victory over Indian Hills CC in Iowa.
Rugby sked released:
BERKELEY - With a slate of fixtures that could exceed last year's 25-match journey to the national championship, the 2009 schedule for the University of California rugby team will test the Golden Bears with a wide variety of opponents, from local competition and traditional rivalries to teams Cal normally does not see until the national postseason and a rematch against the Rugby Super League champion.
Witter Rugby Field will also host Pools A and C of the national postseason's Rounds of 16 and 8 from April 17-19.
"This schedule should provide us the right mix to develop our team," said head coach Jack Clark. "The frosh-soph, reserve-grade and varsity teams will all share in the responsibility of representing our University in match play. I imagine we'll be underdogs a few times out and we'll additionally stress the team with double-headers and a variety of venues and environments, all of which is important to building the team we want to become."
The season begins Jan. 10 and continues a week later with a trip to the UCLA Tournament, where the Bears will seek to win their fourth straight weekend gathering of fellow Pac-10 universities.
A February clash against the University of Calgary stands as an early wrinkle in the schedule, with Cal meeting the Dinos as the Friday night featured match of the Kickoff Tournament, a major assembly including many of the best high-school teams in the nation.
Mens soccer to take on stanford:
This Week
After earning two much needed wins last weekend, No. 10 California plays host to Stanford this week in the final game of the regular season. The Golden Bears (9-3-5, 4-2-3 Pac-10) would record their eighth consecutive 10-win season with a victory. Stanford will be looking for revenge after Cal topped the Cardinal, 1-0, in overtime when they met at Stanford earlier this season. The Bears take the field on Saturday, Nov. 15, at 2 p.m. at Edwards Stadium.
Saturday's game will also be Senior Day for Cal's five seniors - Tyler Barry, Chris Deal, Ian Ebert, Pat Marion and Michael Nieraeth.
Bears Beat Beavers and Huskies Last Week
Last weekend featured a pair of wins that Cal needed to win in order to remain in the hunt for an at-large bid to the NCAA College Cup. Behind the efforts of the team's leading scorer, sophomore Andrew Wiedeman, the Bears defeated Oregon State, 1-0, and Washington, 2-1, last weekend in Berkeley.
Wiedeman was instrumental in both of Cal's victories, tallying two goals, one of which was the gamewinner. Against the Beavers, Wiedeman scored the game's only goal in the 72nd minute. It was Wiedeman's third game-winning goal of 2008. Junior goalkeeper Stefan Frei also recorded his seventh shutout of the season.
Against the Huskies, with Cal trailing 1-0, Wiedeman took a pass from sophomore Demitrius Omphroy and went down field and scored to tie the game at one. It was the eighth goal and the 20th point of the season for Wiedeman. The Bears would go on to win the game when senior Pat Marion found the back of the net in the 88th minute
Cal swimming apparently would hvae lost to Stanford had they been scoring this meet:
STANFORD, Calif. - The 11th-ranked California men's swimming and diving team took on rival and third-ranked Stanford in the Cardinal's annual Triple-Distance Meet on Wednesday at the Avery Aquatic Center. The Golden Bears won six events, with sophomore Damir Dugonjic claiming the 50- and 100-yard breaststrokes, senior Bennett Clark taking the 100 freestyle, freshman Martin Liivamagi placing first in the 100 individual medley, sophomore Thomas Henninger edging a Cardinal diver for the top spot in the three-meter springboard and the Cal A group of Clark, junior Josh Daniels, sophomore Graeme Moore and sophomore Nick Cordes winning the 200-freestyle relay.
While not scored like a conventional dual meet, Stanford swimmers had the best combined times in the six individually contested swimming disciplines: sprint freestyle, butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, individual medley and distance freestyle. The two rivals split the relays (200 free and 200 medley) as well as the diving events.
Dugonjic, a 2008 Slovenian Olympian, posted a time of 25.15 in the 50 breaststroke and 55.00 in the 100 breaststroke but was disqualified in the 200 event. Liivamagi, a 2008 Estonian Olympian, was first in the 100 IM in 50.69, second in the 200 IM (1:50.59) and third in the 400 IM (4:01.53).
Clark won the 100 free in 44.75 and took second in both the 50 (20.76) and 200 (1:42.45) freestyles behind Stanford's Austin Staab.
BERKELEY - The University of California Men's Golf program has signed five highly-ranked junior golfers - Brandon Hagy, Max Homa, Curtis Loop, Brian Murphy and Michael Weaver - to National Letters of Intent. The five high school seniors will join the Golden Bears for the fall of 2009.
Hagy, son of Richard and Karyn Hagy, is a product of Westlake Village, Calif. Highlights for Hagy include being selected as a 2008 AJGA HP Scholastic Junior All-American and selected to represent the United States in the FCWT Honda International Junior Championship in Japan, where he was the low American shooting 74-75-71, 220 to finish tied for seventh. He also won the 2008 Thousand Oaks City Amateur (65-69 - 134) and the 2008 FCWT Hunter Ranch Invitational (68-70 - 138). Other accolades include 2008 FCWT First Team All-American, 2008 Ventura County Star's Boy Golfer of the Year and 2008 CIF Marmonte League MVP.
"Brandon is an outstanding individual who will thrive here at Cal," said Head Coach Steve Desimone. "He is an excellent student, has a true sense of team and his play on the golf course speaks loud and clear. He's going to be a major contributor to all aspects of this program and the University."
Max Homa, from Valencia High School in Valencia, Calif., is the son of John Homa and Bonnie Milstein. Homa's highlights include being selected to represent Southern California in the 2008 Junior America's Cup, winning the SCPGA Junior Tour at Silver Rock (70-71 - 141), finishing third in the AJGA Hanmi Bank Junior Open (72-72-69 - 213), sixth in the AJGA Midwest Junior Players Championship (76-75-76 - 226), seventh in the FCWT Hunter Ranch (69-75 - 144) and a recent tie for 33rd in the Golfweek Junior Invitational.
Monty on sked:
New coach Mike Montgomery is happy to be playing Pacific and USF — traditional Northern California rivals — but doesn’t sound like he’s married to putting them on the Golden Bears’ schedule every year.
Monty understands there are fans out there who’d like to see Cal play those teams and others in the Bay Area, including Saint Mary’s. It’s not that simple, he said.
“I think it’s good to play those people. I think you need to play all the people every now and again, but I don’t think you need to get stuck on it,” he said at his weekly press gathering Monday. “You’re trying to get a well-rounded schedule from a travel standpoint, trying to get a well-rounded schedule from the level of play.”
There was a time the NorCal teams played each other routinely. Cal and USF have met 74 times, but just once in the past 12 years. The Bears and UOP have played 25 games, only one of them in the past 14 seasons. Cal’s series with Saint Mary’s features 77 matchups, just one of them in the past 11 years.
Don't forget today is a big day. Okanes chat day! You know he never did get back to us about answering those questions we sent him. Hmmm. Go Bears!
The opinions expressed in a FanPost are, in every way, reflective of the opinions of every California Golden Blogs Marshawnthusiast. Moreover, they are reflective of every employee of SBNation, including Tyler "Blez" Bleszinski.

Info on OSU. About Rose Bowl:
CORVALLIS — All of a sudden, there seems to be nearly as much national media interest in Oregon State football as there is in Oregon State basketball.
Mike Riley doesn’t have a brother-in-law who is president-elect, but he is coaching a team with the inside track to its first Rose Bowl in 44 years.
There was a buzz — briefly — around the program when the Beavers upset then-No. 1 USC on Sept. 25.
WR Kjos to play if Morales can’t go on Sat for Beavs:
With starting slot receiver Shane Morales still recovering from a strained muscle in his right hip, Casey Kjos has been getting extra work.
The third-year sophomore was thrown into action last Saturday when Morales couldn’t play after the first drive. It was his first significant playing time since joining the Beavers. He didn’t make a catch, but performed well.
Kjos will make his first career start against California on Saturday if Morales can’t play. Morales has yet to practice this week.
Coach Mike Riley has faith in Kjos, and believes he can take Morales’ place next season as the possession receiver.
"It felt great to be out there in that situation," Kjos said. "It was a little weird at first. That’s the first time I played since high school, other than special teams. I’ve been working hard these past years to get in there."
Kjos came from Middleton, Ohio, three years ago. He quickly impressed the coaches with his ability, and played special teams as a true freshman.
A back injury at the end of that season required surgery. As he made his comeback, the nagging back injury and a hip injury slowed his progress and forced him to redshirt the following season.
He has been healthy throughout this season and worked into the backup slot role, but was rarely used other than in mop-up time.
"I’m feeling great, the best I’ve felt in a long time," Kjos said. "This is a great opportunity for me to get some playing time, and give me a jumpstart for next year. If I can follow Shane’s example that would be great."

Not a huge loss if Canfield is starting. Morales is more of Moveao’s guy and probably wouldn’t see many touches anyway.

There is a difference in crudeness between ‘Cougars as Famous women’ and ‘Beavers as anatomical body parts’ and we’re just not crossing that line into dirty talk. Perhaps we’re just too mature to make beaver jokes?

Wilner thinks Cal fans expect Monty to equal his success when he was at 'furd
to which I counter with…what? I think Cal fans want a competitive team that places in the upper half of the conference…maybe challenges for the title if it has Jason Kidd II. A Sweet 16 trip would be nice. Kind of like a clean Bozeman program…is that too much?

I think the article kinda ignores the number of jobs that people would project to lose their jobs in the event of a Detroit failure. He says Bear Stearns’ collapse would have hurt the financial sector, but doesn’t even mention how many would be hurt by GM or Ford failing.
Not that I think a bailout of Detroit is a good idea either because it’s their fault that they’re in the trouble they’re in, I just think it was a bad way to make the argument.
Still happy over the fact that the Nets signed Ryan Anderson. Now if only they can sign Leon Powe after this year...

So on Bear Stearns vs Ford, I think his focus is less on the human aspect (ie individuals hurt by losing jobs) and more on the pain dealt to the economy as a whole.
The US financial sector getting hit is horrible. The US automotive sector? Not so much.

Feva,
I wasn’t even thinking about the parts regarding ‘bailout Detroit’ vs ‘don’t bailout Detroit‘…that debate is already finished… not bailing them out while our economy is in this shape will hurts us big time… and I don’t mean auto jobs… i mean our global credit ratings, company valuations, LBO valuations… some of the things that make our economy efficient… it sucks but we have to do something.
What I was pointing out the Rishi was the idea of trading loan guarantees for warrants… and how our previous Detroit bailout made the government a $400mil profit.
The best idea I’ve heard so far is an LBO of the big3. Kill the public equity, sell off various divisions and streamline it… restructure the union contracts and the healthcare contracts….fire most of the senior/entrenched managment….have an independent czar like Wasserstein or Lazzard oversee it with the express mandate to create flex-fuel, hybrid, 60mpg cars… have them appoint new forward thinking CEOs that act like Steve Jobs.
2-3 years from now, after they’ve created a few fuel efficient prototypes that kick the japaneses’ asses… then take them public again and the gov cashes out the warrants. Everybody is happy and it serves the public good.
Bottom line is we can’t bail them out again unless the emerging companies create cars that can beat the japanese… secondly we need to profit from the bailout… this article pointed out that we can do that and already have in the past.

LBOing such companies are very difficult because of the unions, but besides it being hard to do… this is precisely the types of companies you want to LBO. Nobody has tried cuz they’re too big… but if the Fed is doing the LBOing, it’s do-able.

From our auto analyst.
Remember that they are a public company in name only.. practically the market has already LBOed them. Their equity is shit and most of their capital base is high yield debt anyway…. they are getting none of the benefits of being a public company (they can’t do a equity offering to save their lives) and but have to deal with all the negatives (quarterly reporting, short-term thinking/management)…
They can only make the sweeping changes that they need to make as a private company. If the gov were to LBO them, we can pick the steward.. and that steward can finally force the company to make cars that are built for the future… and not the past.

Oregon administrator blasts Tom Hansen
Funny, I never really thought Cal received any favoritism. He must really suck at that too.
In an interview on Oregon’s flagship radio station Tuesday morning, UO administrator Neal Zoumboukos said Pac-10 commissioner Tom Hansen has been a "lousy" leader of the conference.
A former assistant football coach, Zoumboukos is the special assistant to UO director of athletics Pat Kilkenny. While he told listeners he was voicing his "personal" opinions, his position on the staff and the fact he was filling in on a weekly segment on KUGN in place of Kilkenny adds weight to his statements. The comments came during the weekly "Duck Calls" which is promoted as Kilkenny discussing issues related to UO athletics as well as taking telephone calls from listeners.
Hansen is due to retire June 30, 2009 but Zoumboukos stated that the league’s leader "should have retired 15 years ago."
Zoumboukos also said he had "little or no respect" for members of Hansen’s staff. He also charged that "nepotism" had been prevalent in hirings by the Pac-10 office and said he welcomed new leadership that will change league policies.
The Pac-10 office is located in Walnut Creek, Calif., which Zoumboukos said is too close to Berkeley, where the University of California is located. That has led to too many "older" former employess of Cal being hired by the Pac-10, Zoumboukos said, and added that the league office should be farther from any of the member schools, suggesting "Sacramento or Fresno" would be better locations for the league office.

People do care. I went to the Cal-Stanford game last year. It was packed. People were cheering. Now, the fact that the prices are a lot cheaper (and free, in some cases) doesn’t hurt. But I think fans will support a successful women’s team.

Rugby is playing "The Dinos"?
A February clash against the University of Calgary stands as an early wrinkle in the schedule, with Cal meeting the Dinos as the Friday night featured match of the Kickoff Tournament, a major assembly including many of the best high-school teams in the nation.
Good luck to the CAL ruggers in this one. If Stegosaurus is in the lineup, the Dinos will be tough to beat. I also hear that Triceratops is a pain in the arse during a scrum.

Not good
The general endowment pool managed by the UC Board of Regents stood at $5.7 billion as of Sept. 30 – down from the $6.7 billion as of Dec. 31, according to reports presented to the regents Wednesday.
“Everything went wrong in the quarter,” UC Treasurer Marie Berggren told the regents’ Investment Committee during a conference call among members. “It is going to get worse.”
The impact won’t be felt immediately because the endowment’s pay-out is based on a long-term average of the funds’ performance, UC officials said. However, returns from the endowment are used to support specific programs such as research, faculty chairs and scholarships and fellowships, and if losses continue, students and faculty could suffer, according to UC spokesman Trey Davis.

Ted Miller picks us to upset the Beavs:
California 28, Oregon State 24: It’s been tough on the road in the Pac-10 this year, but the visiting team has won the last four games in the series. The Cal defense will give whoever plays quarterback for the Beavers — Sean Canfield or Lyle Moevao — trouble, and it feels like Kevin Riley is due to lead an offensive breakout.
Our young offensive line is getting more comfortable:
“Those guys are getting in there and battling,” Cal coach Jeff Tedford said. “I think the growth and the development will continue. They all care. They all work hard. Each week, they’ll continue to improve.”
Throw in walk-on sophomore Mark Boskovich at left guard, and center Alex Mack is the only member of the offensive line who had any measurable experience before this season. Boskovich saw just a handful of snaps last year.
Schwartz and Cheadle both are redshirt freshmen and part of Cal’s 2007 highly touted offensive line recruiting class. Edwards, a sophomore, is a junior college transfer.
“Playing games like the one we just played, having that many young guys play, should be really, really rewarding in the future,” Boskovich said. “Playing in that situation is quite a learning experience. My first game (against Colorado State), I was pretty nervous. I wasn’t that nervous at all for USC. It shows how much more comfortable I am out there.”

3) Shoe-in for the 2009 Fab50 list
To me it’s weird that Coach Feller was able to sign her. We landed the #1 setter in the 2006 class… now we land the #1 setter in the 2009 class…. And we run a 1 setter offense.
It’s like signing Jimmy Claussen in 2006… then just signing Matt Barkley in 2009. Only schools like USC have multiple Elite 11 QBs in their rosters (and us of course).

Spirit Squads are Totally Relevant
Arizona State has decided to cut its cheerleading squad after pictures of the cheerleaders in their underwear surfaced on TheDirty.com. Arizona State will now have a “spirit squad” led by the band director. I don’t know exactly what a spirit squad is, but I’m guessing they’re less attractive than cheerleaders and more talented…which is lame. Suddenly I want to go to Arizona State.
I see this spirit squad as being something between Stanfurd Dollies and UCLA flag girls.
In case anyone was wondering, Cal has a Dance Team due to legal concerns about cheerleading stunts. There was a cheerleading stunt team in the mid 80s for about 5 years before someone got hurt (but recovered) and then it was outlawed again. I have heard that Dance Team is making its way towards cheerleading stunts in order to compete which is why there are so many girls this year.
also, totally relevant, and thanks for the NSFW warning.

Given the rich Navajo traditions steeped in Arizona culture, I figure the spirit squad will consist of a Hatałii (medicine man) acting out the fabled slaying of the Yé’ii (The Giant People) to restore Hozhò (peace/health) to the team.

speaking for myself...
well, we’re generally against objectifying women — which would mean not giving any respect to intelligence, talent or athleticism. A lot of these Cal girls are smart girls who like to dance as a sport. Now the fact that there are a TON of other groups to dance with at Cal means that the dance team makes special effort to support the University and teams (away trips, big game gigs mid-day). So I like to support the people that support the team. Me personally, I don’t really want to be in front of 70,000 fans in a short skirt — but it is a, uh, traditional uniform and actually does add to the asthetic of the dance. (Here I’m thinking of the many many ugly features of Band uniforms which actually serve a purpose in highlighting movements during the performance.) Now if there are some who ‘appreciate’ the uniform, in the same way that they would ‘appreciate’ the uniform of the women’s beach volleyball uniforms (which the athletes PREFER actually) there’s not much to be done about that.
Bulletpoints:
- Oggling $C/ASU girls because they have short skirts — we’re not fond of
- Respecting the skill, and love of the (any) team — we’re all for.

JO Wednesday Practice Update: Riley Hogs thte Reps
Thanks for your patience while we switched servers. We’re back in business.
For those of you who are concerned that Kevin Riley isn’t getting enough reps, you should have seen practice last night. Nate Longshore rested a sore arm so didn’t throw the ball at all, so Riley took almost every rep of practice. Once in awhile, third-stringer Brock Mansion would rotate in to take a rep or two to give Riley a rest, but Riley had quite a workout. He said afterward that he even requested extra reps because he felt good.
Coach Jeff Tedford said Longshore’s shoulder bothered him a little early last week but was fine by Thursday. Wednesday were just some lingering effects, Tedford said. He said Longshore will be fine by Saturday if he’s needed.
Noris Malele practiced, but that’s not necessarily significant. Malele practiced last Thursday but could only go one series against USC. Justin Cheadle is still taking the reps at right guard. Tedford said the team probably won’t know about Malele’s availablility until kickoff.
Safety Bernard HIcks is finally back at practice after missing the past six games with a thigh injury. Fellow safety Sean Cattouse is also back after missing last week with a concussion.
Matt Summers-Gavin continues to rotate in at times at left tackle to spell Mitchell Schwartz. It appears the Bears want to make sure he’s ready if either Schwartz or right tackle Donovan Edwards gets hurt.
Marcus Ezeff has a bruised elbow but should be fine by Saturday, Tedford said. Ezeff practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday.

Tedford interview on Portland radio (why hasn't he left Cal yet like everyone said he would?)
MP3 link here
Interviewer: “When you took that job…I said maybe 2-3 years…here you go, on season seven I believe. I’m certainly not trying to slight Cal in any way but I know other schools have been interested in you, and some big time college football schools: why have you passed? I mean, what is it that has kept you at Cal?”
JT: "Well, I really enjoy the area, enjoy the people… It’s a great place to live. It’s a great university and it’s been really enjoyable to make a committment to the players here. We have a new facility that’s finally on its way and I just really enjoy coming to work every day. I think quality of life is a big thing, and I love the quality of life here in the bay area and I love the people that we associate with, be it alumni, boosters, administration, players, whatever it may be anSo, I’m just really happy here.
Interviewer: “What about that Niners job? That’s in the bay area. You can keep that quality of life. Does that interest you at all? Do you think about that possibility?”
JT: “No, I really don’t. I have no ambition to coach in the NFL right now. I’m really enjoying college football and really just focused on trying to do what it takes to bring our program up to where we need it to be and focus on that, so I’m completely happy being in college football.”
Interviewer: “…you said that you finally have the new facility coming, you’ve got the damn kids out of the trees so you can build something there at Cal finally. Your time spent at Oregon…did that kind of open your eyes when you got to Cal, how far, realisitcally, programs like that have to come to meet up with things that people are doing in your own conference? ’cause that (it?) does matter to kids.”
JT: “There’s no question. I mean, recruiting is all important in what we do, and in the competition out there, facilities are a big factor. When you’re 17, 18 years old and you’re going and seeing these nice things, it does make a difference. We’ve been fortunate to recruit here, and recruit some good kids, without the luxury of having very nice facilities. There’s other things that sell here like the academics and the area and so on… We’re not without a lot of positives for someone to come here and be successful both on and off the football field, academically and socially…so all those things, it’s a pretty good spot. But now that we do have some facilities coming, now that we can match the rest of the conference and our recruiting competition, I think it is going to benefit us.”

call me crazy..
but if I were a beat reporter…I’d be all over the team I was covering. I’d be like a non-homer fan (does that exist?)…like Matt Maiocco.
yes, he does a good job with writeups (which sells papers). But his blog and JO chats have little substance most of the time. It’s almost like he called Tedford after practice (from his home) and got a 2-minute run down. So and so took most of the reps…looked good…yadda yadda yadda…but no real juice.
They meet with recruits all the damn time! We only get oral committ reports?
In his defense, Cal’s a LONG way from the SEC or anywhere else with crazy fanbases. There’s probably like 50 people who really care that much about Cal football that aren’t affiliated with the team. So, maybe I’m asking too much.
