Since the Opening Ceremonies are kicking off just about now...I dedicate today to the PANDA!

PANDA SMASH!

Lavelle Hawkins has a blog. Check out the Hawk.

 

This blogging thing is new to me but I'm looking forward to sharing my rookie experiences with all of you and hearing what you have to say. I just moved from playing college ball at Cal (go Bears!) to playing for the Tennessee Titans, and even though I'm going to miss my college days, I'm proud to be a part of this team. I'm sure I'll have plenty of stories to tell you guys as we go through my first season. I'll be back soon, but until then be sure to leave me some comment love!

From Okanes's stand-in, Bryson:

The primary storyline to Thursday’s practice was quarterback Kevin Riley being given the opportunity to work exclusively with the first team. Working on the hurry-up offense with full squads, Riley’s first pass was a 30-yard completion to Michael Calvin on a wheel pattern down the left sideline. 

The sophomore signal-caller had his ups and downs during Thursday’s workout.  His nicest pass of the afternoon came on a rollout to his right when he hit Nyan Boateng cutting across the middle about 40 yards down field. Boateng caught the ball in stride and went into the end zone untouched. Riley’s day also included a handful of misreads and a few overthrows.

Asked for a quick assessment of Riley’s day with the first team, coach Jeff Tedford seemed encouraged, but not overly so.

"It’s practice, and we’ll watch the tape," Tedford said. "Every day is a learning process for everybody. (Riley) did some good things and some not-so-good things."

Longshore had a relatively strong day with the second team offense. He had a copule of 60-plus yard touchdown passes. He hit tight end Tad Smith over the middle for a score. And he connected with wideout Sean Young on a fly pattern down the right sideline. Young beat freshman cornerback Michael Anthony on the play. However, Anthony redeemed himself later in practice when he picked up the only interception of the evening. He jumped the route on a Beau Sweeney pass and returned it 25 yards into the end zone.

Riley does not get the praise fans desire and Tedford lets Longshore off the hook for a practce TD return? Clearly this is a sign of conspiracy and the occult. Or maybe Brock Mansion is working his magic.

Oh look, a breaking story that changes nothing. Hooray!

Still issues about who will fill up the linebacking roster spot in the new 3-4 defense, with Felder Follett and Williams all secure at their positions, Desmond's little brother is vying for the spot. Dito nosetackle:

Senior Mika Kane and sophomore Derrick Hill are considered the favorites to man the middle of the defensive line, although Gregory singled out true freshman Kendrick Payne as someone who has stood out during the early stages of camp. Payne graduated early from Klein Forest High School in Houston and went through spring practice with the Bears.

I'll add more later, but it's 5 in the morning and I've decided sleep is a better option. Season's closer than ever, but it's still a dead week filled with nonstories. But plenty of pandas! Hail MAO and the glorious red Book! It is China's time to show how great their bears are.

Congrats, BearsNecessity. You have defeated me in the game of DBD. I am clearly not waking up early enough! At least now I have some good material stored up now for my next DBD installment, whenever that may be.

Another BDP article by people who clearly are biased. Note she mentions hardcore Cal fans and then links to Scout.

In the background, hard core Bear Backers are trying to figure out ways to do an end-run around the pesky earthquake law. Among these schemes is to get the state Legislature to change the law so as to exempt Memorial Stadium from Alquist-Priolo. (http://mbd.scout.com/mb.aspx?s=166&f=1419&t=2661510&p=1)

WHERE’S OUR OUTRAGED LINK? What more do we have to do to get on your shitlist, woman???? Damn. Ok.

I want to kill trees. And Doug Buckwald.

IS THAT ENOUGH FOR YOU PEOPLE?!??

Another screed by Mr. Buckwald. I’ll paraphrase:


“Bla bla bla bla I have no credibility bla bla bla bla democracy was stolen from my Luxury SUV last week, does anybody have any idea where it is? bla bla bla bla I felt Heath Ledger’s performance in Black Knight was uneven, at best.”

Just outrageous stuff!

Cal students are smart. Here and here.

Day Four Practice Update. I think Riley went a billion for a billion and Longshore went 0 for infinity. Reports are Tedford is still sticking with Longshore.

Honestly, though, both QBs are playing great, it would seem:

In the first round of 11-on-11 action, Riley found Boateng who slipped behind the defense for a 67-yard touchdown reception. Not to be outdone, senior quarterback Nate Longshore found senior Sean Young on a similar pattern for another 67-yard score.

Some quotes from Rodgers on how he is being treated in Green Bay.

“I understand it to some point if I put myself into a Favre fanatic’s shoes," Rodgers said today, per the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "The things I can’t understand, the things I really take personally, is when I’m driving up to the (parking lot) gate and punching in my punch code and somebody says ‘F.U.’ to me. That kind of bothers me. Or when a little kid is yelling swear words at me. That kind of gets to me. The boos, they expect a high level of play and they miss Brett Favre. I understand that. But the ‘F.U.’ and the little kids saying swear words to me, I don’t understand that."

If the receivers can step up, thus negating the quarterback controversy (since I believe half of Longshore’s interceptions and a majority of his bad passes were due to his receivers messing up), then I think we’ll be first or second in the PAC-10.

From Sports Injury Blog – The Disabled List:

How long does it take to rehabilitate your dislocated knee cap? It all depends on the severity. For minor dislocated knee caps it might be two weeks. For major knee dislocations requiring surgery it might take six weeks. In both cases you’ll need physical therapy to increase knee strength and promote knee flexibility.

Ted Miller posts his best-case/worst-case for Cal.
Best case ends in a Holiday bowl and worst ends with a Poinsettia bowl.

Like most of his best-case/worst-cases, this one’s logic is absent. In our best case we still lose to Oregon? He does give some love to DumpsterMuffin (though he calls her smelly muffin) and Brock Mansion, though. At least he doesn’t mention that Arizona made the top-15, which is what happens in his USC and ASU best cases. He also mentions OSU as a top-15 team in his Oregon, ASU, and USC scenarios.

I can see his point re: Oregon

While we definitely could win (the home team has held serve save for last year), they scare me. I’ve been hearing too many good things about their returning qbs (witness the 55 points in the bowl game) and the JC running back (240 pounds of fury). I think they’re the second best team in the conference. I think we’re third, ahead of ASU.
