Golden Nuggets: Prediction Thursday
Once again, our good friend Ted Miller picks us to win.
California 24, UCLA 20: You know that old girlfriend or boyfriend you kept going back to even though he or she did you wrong? Oh, Cal, will this time you be true? On a substantive level, it's a concern for UCLA that linebacker Reggie Carter is nursing a sprained knee when Jahvid Best is coming to town, and the Bruins' offense seems further away from a transformation to efficiency than the Bears. Of course, Cal never wins in L.A., so feel free to disagree with this one.
By a range of three to fifteen points, all five experts at CBS Sports predict Cal will win.
John Tamahana finally predicts a Cal victory: 24-9
Is this the week the Golden Bears finally reacquaint themselves with the end zone, a place they haven’t visited in nearly a month? Might that happen on the same day and field that the offensively-challenged Bruins find themselves a quarterback? Probably not.
The former is much more likely than the latter.
Much to Rick Neuheisel and Norm Chow's chagrin, placekicker Kai Forbath is a stone-cold lock to be selected as UCLA's 2009 offensive MVP.
After the jump I have an awful, awful, miserable weather forecast for Saturday's game (94°, 30-40% humidity), practice notes (everyone is getting healthy again!), articles on the UCLA matchup (we might steal a recruit with a big win), and much more.

Next time take the train
I think Tedford’s idea to skip the plane and go by ground is a good one, but next time he should take the train. The time is about the same and I am sure there are some old Blues with access to private train cars. A great statement and opportunity to bond… This was the way Pappy did it…

Train only goes to Bakersfield
When I did this trip 6-7 years ago, the Amtrak way is to take this circuitous route to Bakersfield and then force you to go on a Greyhound like bus for the remaining 2 hours or so. Additionally, because Amtrak does not own the tracks (or so that was the excuse I heard), the train had to stop every 30 minutes or so at random spots (in addition to the usual stops) for freighters to pass us…

Isn’t there a train by the coast from Oakland/San Jose to LA?
