y'know
I don’t think that KGAM810 stream is going to work anyway. Two years ago I subscribed through the Bears’ official website and had to pay 10 bucks a month for radio streams. I don’t think they’re going to give them away for free.
I'm still wondering why the Nets didn't draft Leon Powe.
What to look for: Spartan O-line protecting the QB
The second quarter will be key for the Spartans; they really struggled all last season with consistency. The O-line especially had trouble protecting the QB as halves wore on.
Okay, two fallaway passes by Hoyer get completed, but still good pressure on the quarterback.

stop it!!!
I’m reading comments and listining, and the comments are faster than the damn radio feed. So I keep reading what happens before it happens.
Ohh... ABC is in the 21st century now!
They made a google joke!
Cal’s D is looking solid so far.
Go Duckies!
it sounds like
every single ball is going to Ringer.
don't tease me.
I just heard Starkey say, "he overthrows everyon…..oh it’s a touchdown. Not you Hombre, not you too.
the best part about this is
I have no idea what you guys are talking about, and Yahoo doesn’t update Gamecast until plays are official. So for instance, last year, I had no idea WTF was going on when Ezeff made Colvin fumble last year. I just thought Yahoo was broken because it didn’t update for ten minutes.

Longshore
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wiley had a good inread on the ball.
Just a better play by the D-back.
by BearsNecessity on Aug 30, 2008 6:20 PM PDT up reply actions
I din't see it
But starkey seems to think it’s old hat
The big question
Does Tedford go right back to Riley or does Nate get another chance on the next series?
man
I go to another computer to try and get the radio feed to work, and apparently I missed the season debut of my main man. Sounds like it’s the same s%$t, different day.

if you have itunes
click the link below the “play now” button and listen to it as a podcast. How can you have a blog and not know how to use a computer?
got it
It was the computer I was working with – I was trying to use my company-issued computer. Bunch of security settings and all that, I presume…works on my mom’s laptop just fine. So I’m now listening to the dulcet tones of Joe Starkey.
no homo

The D is looking pretty good
they’ve gotten a little lucky with all the penalties, but still a very nice performance.
The A's colors are green and gold.
Michigan State's O-line is big but slow
Cal’s D is athletic enough to get pass them as the game wears on.
:(
whoops.

Best might have trouble running through the middle,
but there’ll be a ton of short pass plays like that this year.
The A's colors are green and gold.
I feel marginally better now that I can hear the call

Yeah the O-line just isn't athletic enough to keep them off
Hoyer is throwing fadeaways.

No breakup there
Got hit with a penalty. Lame.

I’m by no means a Longshore fan but let’s go easy on the guy. The quarterback debate is over and he’s a good kid.
as long as you're right
and the debate is over. I didn’t care who started, as long as the guy who started was better. But this game could possibly be 24-0 if it weren’t for Nate, and, at least listening to the call, that isn’t acceptable. I don’t want to drag the poor guy down, but unless he shows something else, he has to sit.
Illinois-Missouri looking like the best game of the night
From a non-cal standpoint of course. 17-13 in the 2nd quarter.
Missouri is going to be in the BCS this year
Better take them seriously.

Do you realize our WRs have NOT been involved in our offense?
…………………catches… yards… percatch…
S. Young – 2 – 26 – 13.0
L. Cunningham – 1 – 7 – 7.0
that’s it… Morrah has been involved tho.
C. Morrah – 3 – 63 – 21.0… and one of the catches was for 50
halftime stats
Almost equal. Cal holds a 217-150 yard advantage, but are down 2 turnovers to none. Not so encouraging
check that
turnovers are 2-1…I was looking at an unupdated site
What do you think?
Will Cal sneak into the top 25 if they win this game? I think thye need to win by more than ten, but they have a good chance.
Yeah
ACC teams are tumbling out today. Cal was in the top 30 or so if I recall.
I wouldn’t mind staying out another week though. Not in a hurry to get in there.
by BearsNecessity on Aug 30, 2008 7:09 PM PDT up reply actions
they were #28
in the AP powl and three teams between 17 and 25 lost, which is why I bring it up. And I am in a hurry to get them back there, with no local media to cover them. I need them to be featured.
hmm
Why aren’t any of the backup RBs getting any touches? Not that Best hasn’t been doing a great job, but maybe Best could use a breather every now and then.

Tedford probably wants to play them if the leads grows to three scores.

OMGWTF
Who’s the long snapper? Not Mack, is it?
I'm still wondering why the Nets didn't draft Leon Powe.
damnit
Exceeding expectations is less a matter of luck than possession of certain assets.

I'm so stoked we have a real SBNation Cal blog this year.
Go Bears! No more stupid mistakes!
More than just ANtics: http://www.louisgray.com/live/
ok, let's just run Best into the ground
Herm Edwards style. Because we play to win the game.

My how Longshore has fallen...
It wasn’t that long ago he was being talked up as NFL material and folks were worried he was going to go on the church mission. Now that he’s not going on a mission and got married, maybe… that’s karma. :-)

the sun is up
I’m on beer 10, and we need to win this game.
It seems as if the only thing happening at Cal practices
Was the QB competition given how everything else has played out.
I'm still wondering why the Nets didn't draft Leon Powe.
What's up with the WRs?
Are they just not getting open?

Not enough depth right now
Tedford’s being cautious with the young ones.
by BearsNecessity on Aug 30, 2008 7:35 PM PDT up reply actions
Touchdown Bears! Lovin' it.
Now let’s pad on. Don’t give them any more chances.

man
Give Anger a shot.

I hope Tedford changes his mind and continues to go with Riley..

Starkey
didn’t sound very happy about that PI call on Syd.

The Tree Sitters Must Go
They will always be a story when Cal is on TV. Ridiculous.
More than just ANtics: http://www.louisgray.com/live/
second time Starkey has scolded boetang for dropping a ball. And the only person I would want to scold me less than Starkey is tedford.
at least it's Anger time
