IT'S SATURDAY MORNING, BEARS! 8.30.08 Open Thread III

P1_marshawn_tiny by TwistNHook on in Football

This is the third in a series of Open Threads designed to allow fans to discuss not only the big game between Cal and MSU today, but also all the college football action.  It's opening day, like XMas and Purim rolled all up into 1!  Check out Avinash's post for information on viewing options.

And check out Open Thread I and Open Thread II first.  If those are packed (about 200 comments) and have started to slow down, come here.  This is our first time doing this, so we have NO idea how it is going to go.  But we figured better safe than sorry.  This one might not even be used.  But if this one gets filled up and is slowing down, I guess the next step will be for somebody to create a FanPost and go there.  After we see how today goes, we'll be able to better plan for future gamedays.  Please work with us to create the best possible Open Thread experience for all involved.  And, remember, no matter what, GO BEARS!

Maybe next time we'll just set up one Open Thread for each quarter.

I'm still wondering why the Nets didn't draft Leon Powe.

someone watching

how do we look. Seriously. Are we athletic and generally making mistakes, or are we just a bit too young and undertanlented?

Ringer finally gets free

Too many mistakes tonight.

by BearsNecessity on Aug 30, 2008 7:58 PM PDT   0 recs

we should be leading by 21… they’ve scored on our mistakes… the only one they didn’t score on is Nate’s first INT.

by danzig on Aug 30, 2008 8:00 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

So actually we should be leading by 14 b/c we scored 1 TD on their mistake snap.

by danzig on Aug 30, 2008 8:01 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Or winning it by 17.

Whatever, it evens out so that we’re close to even after four.

by BearsNecessity on Aug 30, 2008 8:01 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

let’s get this done and put MSU away.

by the federer express on Aug 30, 2008 8:01 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

Our Oline looks a tad sluggish… they’re not exploding off the ball… on some plays that is.

1st DOWN!

Why are we running Vereen into the ground now? Why does Tedford never switch backs in the middle of drives?

Here I am sitting in New York watching the stupid Alabama-Clemson game. ABC hasn’t shown any Cal highlights at all! Thanks for all the updates, guys, you’re faster than Yahoo’s GameChannel!

Do it to it. BTW I’m planning on hitting a bar in New York to check out games in the future. Let me know if you’re interested.

Gotta give credit to Ta'ou'fou and Best

Great blocking on that entire series. Only fitting Will gets the payoff.

Any insights into the 3-4 Defense, guys? Hows it look?

by elbarto83 on Aug 30, 2008 8:12 PM PDT   0 recs

It looks great.

Our linebackers are all studs. It made perfect sense.
