As the sumatra percolates to afford legal crack, I'd thought I'd remind everyone to keep the faith. The next 2-4 games could be L's in the W/L department and I'd hate to see everyone flip their shit because of it. However, use your problem solving skills to try and come up with a potential remedy since this is, after all, an SBN blog and Blez wouldn't have it any other way. I would like to see Tedford stay at least four years after the completion of the facilities, so that he can recruit at competitively and actually develop his players. I honestly fear, however, that L's in the coming weeks could accelerate the panic button. We know it will already becoming from the Bear Insider peeps, but lets make sure it doesn't happen here. He's a great coach, and I don't think we could find better. He's working in a UC system that's lead by an evil dickhead, the faculty are cramping the athletic department's style, and his assistant coaches aren't paid competitively. You should refi and cut 'em a big check. Onto the News & World Report after The Yump

The A's don't know who'll be playing 3rd next year. I don't see how this differs from other years.
Miller discusses Pac10's Round Robin (ESPN The Ocho).
Everyone misses Best:
"Jahvid is one of those guys who has a little special aura around him," offensive tackle Mike Tepper said. "He's not your T.O. (Terrell Owens). He's very humble, very quiet. When he walks into a room, he doesn't really need to say very much because everybody knows he's there. So you notice his absence."
Cal players have not seen Best since he was carted off the field at Memorial Stadium, strapped to a backboard and wearing an oxygen mask. That naturally was a disconcerting sight, and several players spoke eagerly of wanting to see Best again.
Well, this season, turn on the lights and get out from behind the couch. Opposing teams will not be caught off guard by the Bears, thanks to their four returning senior starters, two of the best shooters in the country and a No. 13 national ranking.
"The rankings are based on a formula," Montgomery said. "If that team lost two or three players, and you didn't, then you're better. ... I like our team, but it certainly isn't as clear-cut as what would appear or what people would like it to be. ... I hope they're right."
Montgomery enjoyed last season immensely, and this one should be just as fun, with more pressure sprinkled on top. He has the conference's only two returning All-Pac-10 players in Randle and shooting guard Patrick Christopher, not to mention small forward Theo Robertson, who shot 49 percent from three-point range last season.
Bears w/ Fangs has an epic post (I posted a part of it, but you should read it all):
Cal doesn’t have the pass rushers this year
While I wrote last week that the Bears needed to be judicious about when and how to bring pressure, I did so with the understanding that we’d get killed on middle screens if we decided to send the house every play. It didn’t mean I didn’t think we needed to blitz, I just thought we had to be incredibly careful as to how we did so.
Yes, I don’t think Cal pressured Canfield nearly enough on Saturday. There were far too many instances when we were bringing just 3 or 4 pass rushers, which simply isn’t enough for a QB who had been shredding up similar defensive packages all year.
Yet, I distinctly recall Cal having much more success with this last year, despite only brining three to five pass rushers specifically. Last year, opposing offensive lines were being beaten not just by linemen, but our linebackers who excelled at shedding blocks, disguising their blitzes, and jumping the snap quickly to put adequate pressure on the QB.
While the defensive line this year has played up to par as last year, this falls more on the absence of a strong pass rusher at the LB position. I really don’t want to hear too much about our defensive line struggling, because they’ve really been the rock of this defense this year. I think we severely underestimated the losses at LB, and not having the pass rusher in Zach Follett or versatile MLB in Worrell Williams is really rearing its head in games where we aren’t seeing the success we used to when we do decide to send one or two extra linebackers or linemen.
Secondary Seconds
Many had expected Cal’s struggling secondary to have a potentially long day ahead against OSU’s potent passing attack, and well—they did. Sean Canfield was a sharp 29-39 for 342 yards, 2 TDs and 1 INT. Saturday marked the seventh time this season that an opposing QB has thrown for more than 200 yards against the Bears (the exceptions being Maryland and Eastern Washington), and the fourth time that a QB has gone more than 300.
While the struggles in Cal’s secondary are head shakingly perplexing, some of it might be a lot easier to digest if you accept that Cal has struggled to field its four most consistent players in the backfield for this season.
While Syd’Quan Thompson has had his momentary lapses and battles with the injury bug, he’s still played like the preseason all-conference player that he is. The issue has been Cal’s inability to find the answer at the other CB spot.
Darian Hagan has become a near afterthought after his solid sophomore season has been followed up with inconsistent play, injury, and a team suspension. The aforementioned items has sent him plummeting down the depth chart behind RS frosh Josh Hill, Chris Conte, and Bryant Nnabuife.
And while all four of these players have gotten nods at the second DB spot this season, none seem to have played with the level of consistency to make opposing QBs hesitate just a little about throwing the ball to their side of the field. In fact, their play has essentially screamed, “Open” at certain moments of the season.
Similarly, while I’m pleased with the decision to place Sean Cattouse at one of the safety positions (I think the kid might be the best natural secondary player we have next to Squid right now), Cal has also struggled in the safety position. The most recent revelation that safety Marcus Ezeff has missed practices over the last few years to finish his degree on time has partially explained why his play has essentially stagnated over the past season, if not slightly regressed. Brent Johnson has showed the ability to lay some devastating hits, but has also found himself out of position on a few key passing plays this year as well.
Bears Burned in the Middle
Cal has struggled all year to defend tight ends or receivers over the middle, and the story wasn’t any different with Joe Halahuni steamrolling the Bears for 6 catches and 128 yards. The Bears haven’t been able to find an answer at a coverage linebacker who can adequately match one-on-one with tight ends, and safeties have struggled to keep the tight ends bottled up once they’ve snuck out 10 yards past the line of scrimmage. It’s quite frustrating to see it happen time and time again, which makes you wonder if it’s a constant issue in execution (which might reflect coaching) or simply a lack of personnel.
The opinions expressed in a FanPost are, in every way, reflective of the opinions of every California Golden Blogs Marshawnthusiast. Moreover, they are reflective of every employee of SBNation, including Tyler "Blez" Bleszinski.

Men’s soccer to play Stanfurd.
This Week
California (8-8-1 overall, 2-6-1 Pac-10) closes out the regular season by playing its rival, No. 13/17 Stanford (10-4-2, 4-3-2 Pac-10), at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 14 at the Cardinal’s Laird Q. Cagan Stadium. In the first match of this year’s two-game series, the Golden Bears defeated Stanford, 1-0, on Oct. 2 at Edwards Stadium in Berkeley.
The Bears ranks sixth and last in the overall conference standings, while Stanford stands second in the Pac-10. UCLA has already repeated as conference champion and claimed the accompanying automatic bid to the NCAA College Cup.
Scouting the Golden Bears
Cal has lost six of its last eight games since beating Stanford on an Andrew Wiedeman goal on Oct. 2. It their last two games, the Bears tied at Washington, 1-1, on Oct. 30 and lost at Oregon State, 1-0, on Nov. 1.
The Bears triumphed in their last game at Stanford, a 1-0 overtime victory in 2008 that marked Cal head coach Kevin Grimes’ 100th-career win. Now in his 10th season at Cal, Grimes currently has 113 career wins.
Wiedeman, a member of the Missouri Athletic Club’s Hermann Trophy Watch List, continues to lead Cal in points (25), goals (11) and game-winning goals (5). The junior forward is also tied for the Pac-10 Conference lead in game-winning goals and ranks second in the conference in points (25), goals and goals per game (0.65). Named a preseason All-American by Soccer America and College Soccer News, Wiedeman is tied for second in points per game (1.47) in the Pac-10.
Junior midfielder Hector Jimenez and Wiedeman earned spots on this season’s ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District 8 team. Jimenez paces the Bears and the Pac-10 in assists (9) and assists per game (0.53). He ranks third in points (11) for Cal this year. He now ranks second all time in the Cal record books in assists (26); Mike Nieto (1982-85) holds the record of 40. Jimenez is also fourth in single-season assists; Peter Woodring set the record of 12 in 1990.
Senior forward Jeff Cosgriff ranks second at Cal in points (16), goals (6) and assists (40) this year. Cosgriff also ranks behind Wiedeman in most game-winning goals, with two.
Cal sophomore goalkeeper David Bingham has a 1.02 goals-against average in 15 starts.
As a team, Cal leads the Pac-10 in goals (27) and ranks second in the conference in average attendance (882).

For the CGB lad(y)ies.
BERKELEY, CALIF. – The California men’s swimming team (2-0) will host Bay Area rival Stanford (2-0) in a Triple-Distance Meet on Wednesday, Nov. 11, at 2 p.m. at Spieker Aquatics Complex. Wednesday’s meet will not count towards either team’s dual-meet record, but it will feature some of the very best collegiate swimmers in the nation competing in a non-standard event schedule. The official Pac-10 dual meet between the two rivals will be Friday, Feb. 19 at 7 p.m. at Stanford’s Avery Aquatics Center.
In the Triple-Distance Meet, athletes divide into specialty groups that compete with one another in three races to determine a specialty champion in each of swimming’s six event domains: sprinters (50, 100, 200 free), distance swimmers (200, 500, 1000 free), butterflyers (50, 100, 200 butterfly), breaststrokers (50, 100, 200 breaststroke), backstrokers (50, 100, 200 backstroke) and individual medlyists (100, 200, 400 IM).
Individual champions will be recognized in each domain as the athlete with the fastest cumulative times from three events. The Golden Bears, featuring 2009 NCAA champions Nathan Adrian (50 and 100 free) and Damir Dugonjic (100 breast) are 2-0 in duals meets so far this season. Cal topped Hawaii, 156-139, Oct. 9; and Pacific, 143-107, Oct. 10, at Spieker Aquatics Complex.

Women’s hoops opens this Sunday at Haas of Pain.
The No. 13/18 California Golden Bears open up the 2009-10 season with a three-game homestand. First up for the Bears will be the season-opener against the Idaho State Bengals followed by a Tuesday, Nov. 17 showdown against Contra Costa County’s Saint Mary’s Gaels. The homestand concludes on Sunday, Nov. 22 when the Bears host the No. 4/7 Baylor Bears.
The Bears are looking for their seventh consecutive victory in the home opener. Last season, Cal christened the 2008-09 season with a 63-39 victory over Albany. Cal hasn’t dropped a home opener since the 2002-03 season when they fell 56-49 to Rutgers.
Since the 2003-04, Cal has only lost one non-Conference home games, going 34-1 against teams outside the Pac-10 while playing at Haas. There are several ticket promotions running for the game. There will be free Admission for all youth (12th grade and younger). Also, if you show your ticket stub from the Cal-Arizona football game, you will receive one free admission to the game. These promotions are good for the general admission seats. This season, Haas Pavilion will feature more reserved seats for women’s basketball games with sections 1,2, and 3 as well as 15, 16, and 17 all being reserved seats.

I’d like to add that the pregame bus ride down from the Lawrence Hall of Science to Rim Way was EPIC. Firstly, the bus driver let us on with opened brewskies + road sodas. For reals. People even had malt liquor. Then…on the way down, we even started a “Go…..BEARS!” chant. That bus, let me tell you, was Tedford-ready for Saturday’s tilt.
We’re supposed to get some rain this evening, but I think it’s supposed to pass by tomorrow. I think we’ll be dry for the last home game of the year :(

I’m of the opinion that it is none of our damn business, ANY of the field personnel stuff: injuries, grades, scrapes with the law, who is griping about whom, etc. So “suspended for breaking an unspecified team rule” doesn’t bother me, but endless speculation about it sure does. They are college “kids”, it’s their lives that we are just a small part of, and as their spokesman he can gatekeep our access to them as much as he wants. That’s his job.
by zoonews on Nov 11, 2009 12:24 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
I’m not saying he should, I simply responded to one comment which displayed concern over Tedford saying the team has not been in contact with the team and he has a sore back. My point was that this is typical Tedford as he does not typically divulge much injury information, thus we should not read into his comments much.

That makes a lot more sense. I interpret “downplay” to mean making something sound less significant, whereas you meant something more like close-lipped.

No, Arizona has 4 games left including Oregon and USC. If they lose to Cal, then Arizona has to win both of those games. If not then USC can overtake Arizona in the standings. And, if Arizona beats Oregon, and loses to Cal and USC, then USC and Oregon tie for the conference….Oregon technically would still get the nod since they beat USC.

No, the fair Eileen was a different sort from Julia, the crazed Ukrainian sex goddess.
Eileen= bluest eyes I’ve ever seen, tall, slender, quirky, funny, generally awesome.
Last I heard she went to UCSC and became a stoner.
Julia= stunning physical looks, redefined “shallow” in Webster’s Dictionary, crazy is so many ways (good and bad), fun in small doses, spoke with a sexy accent.
Last I heard she married some greasy Italian straight off the boat because “he wears nice clothes” (not joking about that quote).

I love inanity as much as everyone else here. I’m guilty of useless topics, borderline-twitter posts, dumb memes, and unfunny jokes.

Discussing Best’s injury or expressing sympathy for him has zero impact on his actual medical condition. Twist making jokes about whatever is exactly as useful as you being all “I hope Best gets better”. Obviously we all hope he gets better. But whether we post that 23 times or 24 times doesn’t really make a difference.

HEY YALL
PRD will be streaming Detroit tonight.
Here’s the deal. PRD will try to stream as many men’s BB games as possible. Women’s games will most likely be free on Cal Bears.com and we’ll post the link. For smaller, non-conf games, I’ll try to confirm with him, just to make sure. For conf and important games, you can assume he won’t miss it for the world. (He’s prob the biggest Cal fan I know).
Here are his two Justin.tv channels:
http://www.justin.tv/prd74_2
http://www.justin.tv/probono_2009
Bookmark them. Let’s just have the first person to see the video go live, post the link in the open thread… just so everyone knows.
As for video of the games, we’re still working out the kinks. TTA is not interested in recording BB and Chicago is undecided. PRD can record the stream into an AVI file which we can make avail for direct download (torrent is not necessary for less popular files).

I know it’s like the only thing anyone can use to talk about sports, but statistics prove absolutely nothing. too many variables. look at what happened with the first death star, and then the second death star!
But seriously, not matter how many times some idiot moves a ball across an invisible field, it will NOT affect how many times he does it in the future. if it does, it is in an immeasurably small way.

I have, as suggested by CalBear81, been spending enough time here that my default option is DOOOOOOOOOOOOOM.
Had SC and Stanford played last week, Stanford would have won the game running away. This week, I think it’s going to be a tight one, and there’s a real possibility that Stanford will win. There are two reasons for the relative increase in optimism:
1) McCoy is to get back in at TE and Havili is to return at FB
That’s important because both of these guys are excellent as blockers, short yardage receivers, and outlet receivers, as well as for running the ball in Havili’s case. I’d argue that a large part of the reason that SC has looked so crap on offense the last couple of weeks is that they’ve had to live with just the usual running / passing plays… there hasn’t been an alternative to cause any kind of mismatches so opposing defenses have had much less guessing to do.
2) Carroll is moving Devon Kennard from defensive end to linebacker. Kenner’s 6’3" and 255, which makes him about the same size as Taylor “The Decapitator” Mays. Why is that relevant? Because Gerhart ran all over SC in the first half of the 2008 game until Mays was brought forward for almost every play to create an imbalance in numbers as well as chase / haul down Gerhart. With Luck looking like a real QB (as opposed to the commonly accepted social construct of a QB that Stanford has been fielding on and off for the last several years), SC can’t risk reducing players in the secondary to stop the run. So, if Kennard can at all slow down Gerhart, there’s a chance to even out time of possession and keep the game closer.
So I don’t think it’s crazy to think that Stanford could win, but I wouldn’t assume it’s automatic.

I don’t know. He apparently only got on the field last week starting against ASU, but our official linebackers look like a triage center at the moment, and apparently Kennard’s bright enough to get the gist of LB from the game tape.

Desean fires his agent
And gets ready to sign with…oh no, not that blowhard.
ESPN 950 in Philadelphia reports that Jackson has fired DeBartolo Sports as his agent. He reportedly intends to sign with Drew Rosenhaus.
Jackson may already be one of the elite big play threats in the league, but he’s under contract for 2010 and 2011 for just over $1 million combined. The Eagles have signed players on rookie contracts very quickly before — like Sheldon Brown and Lito Sheppard — but those deals were team-friendly long term contracts and eventually upset both players.
If Jackson wants to be paid now for his production without giving some long-term earning potential, he’ll probably have to wait until he gets closer to free agency, like everyone else.

Turkey and Sweden are probably the best European teams to be officially eliminated. Greece, Portugal, Russia and France are all playing in home and home matchups for spots:
Russia vs. Slovenia
Greece vs. Ukraine
Ireland vs. France
Norway vs. Portugal
Iran usually qualifies but they missed out (probably due to North Korea not being crap anymore). Nigeria and Egypt are both in danger of not qualifying out of Africa. No true world powers have missed out yet.

What norcalnick said. The interesting match Saturday is Algeria v Egypt. Africa’s best team must win by 3 goals or get bounced by Algeria. FWIW, these 2 countires absolutely hate each other in soccer. The last time they played with a WC spot on the line, there were riots, fights in the satnds and one of the team doctors had his eye put out. Good stuff!

at first the ACC seems deep. Then you realize there are 12 teams in that conference. That being said, Miami and Georgia Tech seem like legit Top 25 teams.
Teams like Cincy and Boise St, etc. don’t have to worry about a key part of football: dealing with the grind. Boise has literally beaten one good team all season. And that game was before Labor Day and involved Oregon doing everything it could to lose.
That’s not right.

Meaningless ASUC update
ASUC President Will Smelko vetoed an ASUC Senate bill Tuesday that recommended UC Berkeley stop using student fees to help fund campus intercollegiate athletics.
The bill passed unanimously on the senate’s consent calendar last week and recommends that Chancellor Robert Birgeneau take necessary measures to make the department financially self-sustaining by next semester.
In a statement accompanying the veto—the first in his presidential term—Smelko said the bill “does not promote the welfare and interests of student athletes.”
“Cal Student athletes and staff employees in the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics are members of the Cal family and the bill, if implemented, would create both short and long term adversity and hardships for current and future Cal students and for Department of Intercollegiate Athletics’ staff,” the statement said.
