Well, grab that cup of coffee and park yourself in front of a TV. The game starts extra early this morning. Praise Be To Tedford this isn't a home game. We'd be tailgating at 5 in the morning. Here is some more information on these Trutle Tarpers and their football team. We'll be posting up these threads at the second, third, and fourth quarters to keep everything fresh and clean. That way we don't get that unfresh feeling in the game threads.
Since the game is on ESPN, it shouldn't be as difficult to find as last week. But Avinash has this to say about watching the game online:
This is not as big a problem as last week, but people overseas will still have problems. Click here for a possible solution.
You'll need to download Sopcast, but hopefully it should work. Look for the Cal-Maryland game on that link and click on the feed link, it should upload Sopcast automatically and you'll be clear sailing. If the feed works (pray).
If anyone has any additional feeds post them here so Cal fans abroad can watch their Golden Bears!
It has been TOO long since we got to watch some Cal football. What has it been like 6 days? I can't handle that! Never leave me again, Kevin! Enjoy the game. GO BEARS!

The game is also being broadcast on NASN in Europe and will be available on ESPN360.com. Should be the most covered game all year worldwide.
College Gameday question: Who can contend with USC in the Pac-10?
This is obviously a trick question. The answer is clearly Washington State.
Too early.................zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
There is something unnatural about being up this early on a Saturday! It’s just wrong I tell you! Wrong!
You don’t enjoy the “Lou Holtz Clubs Baby Seals” signs?

Good morning, everyone.
I’m up WAY too early.
Go Bears!

I’m eating grilled chicken and vegetables. Oh, and beer. Way to defeat the point, eh?
I'm still wondering why the Nets didn't draft Leon Powe.
Kind of like draining down red wine after eating a Big Mac.

Sign from Gameday:
Even
So Cal
Perpetuates
Gator
Nation
That has to be the oddest choice of words for an ESPN sign ever.
Can I watch gameday online?
I can’t use my TV right now for complicated reasons.
Go Bears!

Probably
Try here http://www.channelsurfing.net/ and look for a channel showing the Cal game. It should be showing Gameday for the next 5 minutes.
There have been occasions in the past where Twist had to skip Warriors games to watch Desperate Housewives. I’m just sayin’.

that sign makes roughly zero sense
But then, that goes for SEC fans in general.

Some pregame notes from JO’s blog:
Rulon Davis is taking reps with the second team (he has a foot injury). Cameron Jordan will start in his place.
Brett Johnson is taking reps at FS with the first team instead of Bernard Hicks.
Davis just cannot stay healthy. Does not bode well later on.

Screw ESPN for limiting their online feed to select internet providers.
Makes no sense for those of us overseas.
(On the work computer today….not going to use channelsurfing or the like.)
Joe Starkey it is.
Go Sox!
OH NOES.
UGLY UNIFORMS!!!!
I hate the white jersey and gold pants.
Go Bears!

I know a lot of us are tired and Saturday mornings are normally best spent sleeping through boring Big Ten games. However, there is something awesome about rolling out of bed at 9am and having football on. The West Coast rules.
Dammit ... overseas in sweden and the only sportsbar here
isn’t showing the game …fkitalltoheck
You can watch it online
Instructions are above.

Oh no
they are talking about that oregon state game last year.
that game should never ever men mentioned
i wonder what it's like to have a family of tight ends
That just leads to all sorts of jokes.

Does anybody know
how many Cal fans made the trip?
Go Bears!

maybe the team could have used some more coffee
I'm still wondering why the Nets didn't draft Leon Powe.
theyre just taking a nap thats all
POW! Right in the KISSA! POW! Right in the KISSA! POW!! Right in the KISSA!
For those that couldn’t see that run on TV, it was as bad as it sounded… huge gaping hole on the edge….

at least we get to see some cougars
Brooke Shields!

Flat
Wow, Cal looks really flat and uninspired. I guess that’s to be expected early in the game after a long trip across countru. Here’s hoping for a long drive by the offensive to get a little momentum going on the road.

Cunningham didn't need to hold there
Jahvid had the first. That’s all on him

We need one big play
to wake everyone up.

This is exactly what you don’t want to happen on the road.

I think...
It means that Maryland has everything to play for against a ranked team at home.
And we have nothing to play for against a bad team. We’re playing with no motivation – yet
well, i did pick maryland +14.5 and the under on 51.5 ...
not surprised by this start …
well
Maryland’s got their 14 point quota. Shutout the rest of the way!
I'm still wondering why the Nets didn't draft Leon Powe.
Did he just make a funny?
Hahaha — the Bears are still in hibernation!
I hate stupid announcers. I’ll bet he thought of that earlier this week.
They look defeated
on the sidelines. Let’s see a little energy and excitement.

You guys are overreacting
Your offense is explosive enough to get right back in this thing in about two minutes. Relax.
If we're gonna be any different than last year
then we will have to prove it here. if not, this will be a long season. make or break game here
by AngerManagement on Sep 13, 2008 9:21 AM PDT reply actions
I lived in DC for 8 years and can attest that Maryland fans are some of the most obnoxious in the country.
It used to be isolated to basketball but their year or two of recent football glory led to a bunch of fair-weather fans.
That makes this sting even more.
Go Sox!
I live there now.
Pretty damn true. The stadium isn’t even full
by AngerManagement on Sep 13, 2008 9:23 AM PDT reply actions
Great return.
Exactly what we needed.
Go Bears!
by RollOnYouBears667 on Sep 13, 2008 9:23 AM PDT reply actions
NO WORRIES!
Everyone stay calm. This Bear team has yet to wake up. The heat is going to be an issue. Cal will be OK.
y'know
It would be helpful if Riley weren’t playing like Ayoob. Yeah, I said it. Last game, too.
I'm still wondering why the Nets didn't draft Leon Powe.
At least we got something on the board.
We need to play D now.
Go Bears!
by RollOnYouBears667 on Sep 13, 2008 9:29 AM PDT reply actions
I fail to see how Riley could have run there. I don’t think that was possible.

yeah, it was a screen pass, QB scrambles don’t work well on screen passes for obvious reasons.

ok, someone on campus, please go walk-on as a kicker
I'm still wondering why the Nets didn't draft Leon Powe.
So...
about that average starting position for MD…
by AngerManagement on Sep 13, 2008 9:33 AM PDT reply actions
we're blitzing but they're getting the ball out faster than we can pressure

Luckily it’s still way too fucking early for me to know whats going on.

goddamn napolean dynamite
POW! Right in the KISSA! POW! Right in the KISSA! POW!! Right in the KISSA!
i feel like i am in the middle of a nightmare cause there is no way a football game is on this early in the morning
holy jeebus
we cant stop anything
POW! Right in the KISSA! POW! Right in the KISSA! POW!! Right in the KISSA!
ok they need to stop with the breakfast and hibernation commentary
POW! Right in the KISSA! POW! Right in the KISSA! POW!! Right in the KISSA!
Cal looks beat already
Body language and demeanor looks like it’s 60-0 in the 4th quarter. Where’s all this senior leadership and team chemistry I keep reading about.

The Bear Will Not Die
Humidity, travel, etc
Are no excuses. There is no reason Cal should be in this position against this Maryland team. They are looking like they spent the week reading their own press rather than preparing for this game.
