PrintLook, I might not be no computerologist. And I don't have a lot of book-learnin' So I don't know exactly how Ragnarok and HydroTech will be transmitting their brain waves through their phone to all you people. But, using something called Twitter, first pioneered by Devil-American Pete Carroll, we'll be "live-tweeting" the Cal Spring Football Game tomorrow. Is that even a phrase, "live-tweet"? I might have just invented a new phrase. You are all witnesses to history. Useless, useless history.
And the history continues tomorrow starting at 11:30 AM. You can follow us at Twitter.com/GoldenBlogs. And if you are going to be there in person, you can come to the CGB Meet Up.
And if you are there in person AND have a smart phone, you can do both! We look forward to either seeing you in person and slash or virtually tomorrow at the Cal Spring Game. Go Bears!

Now I wish I had a smarter phone....
I’ll be working at Cal Day tomorrow, but not anywhere near the football stadium. Can someone just yell the updates down to the Wheeler/Dwinelle area?
There's no crying in baseball!
It’s mostly just going to be updates of Hydro putting Twist into a stranglehold. Then suplexing him into Section R until Ron Gould tells them to shut the hell up.

The #1 main thing I took away from it was that the defense was ahead of the offense so far. Partially because Jahvid Best was not playing. But also partially just because I think the defense is better than the offense.
Also, Tedford’s son played some and made a killer block on 2 players (at the same time).

So after meeting Twist...
it has come to my attention that I have been unintentionally, subconsciously stalking him for a good 10 years, following him around both California and the internets. I’m not sure what this says about me, but I may have to step back and reexamine my life. Thank you all for your support in these trying times.
I also got honked. Woe unto me!

As NorCalNick noted, my freshman year at Cal was his freshman year in high school, so we never quite matched up school-year wise.
I guess if he went to Rheem Elementary when I was a 5th grader, he would have been a 1st grader. So, maybe, just maybe!

I don’t know. I loved him to death his sophomore year. But for the 2007 season (which I have blacked out 65% of from my brain) he complained a bit and moped on the field for a bit, at a time when those things were the last thing the team needed. I’ll say 2 things: 1) There is a reason there are no names on the back of our jerseys anymore. 2) I won’t call him MeSean, but I won’t fight back when someone does.
I don’t know when I started disliking him. He was tied with Follett as my favorite player. I loved him. I was sending the Tennessee punt return to all of my friends. But at some point I was just tired of him. He wasn’t producing even though he was oozing with talent. There was never a moment where I was like: fuck it! You’re dead to me! I realized it when I was watching the NFL draft last year and felt no compassion when he kept falling.

I believe his various injuries were more serious that year than people realized. I mean, DJax will never be a team leader-type, but I think a lot of the stuff about him moping is really overblown. I think he just has that Napoleon complex and the losing and subsequent naysaying really got to him. I don’t mind people with egos, but that’s just me. He’s still friends with a ton of the guys on the team.

Apparently I insulted Twist by saying he wasn’t ridiculous enough so he honked me
In other words, Go Bears!
My thoughts
- Defense is amazing
- Offense is so-so
- Hopefully our RBs can do better. Vereen and Deboskie got stuffed. Only I think Langston Jackson and Kevin Lewis got anything going.
- Is it just me or does the name Tyree Ellison (the dude that got the pick-six) sound like an USC player?
- DB #4 Little (RS FR) was amazing. He was all over the place
- Syd’Quan got challenged once (that I saw) and he made one of the best plays I saw
- Ross came on towards the end
- Marvin Jones didn’t really get many looks I felt
- Boateng was ok
- Lagemann (sp?) was possibly the MVP of the offense today. If the depth chart were made after today he would start.
- The QBs all were meh. Mansion started out bad and got much better. Riley was ok but didn’t get much going. Sweeney definitely looked a bit off. I don’t think he’s ahead of Mansion. And that pick-six was a result of him getting walloped. But mainly the QBs really didn’t get much time because they kept getting pressured (and the play was called dead if someone touched the QB). This might be mainly because:
- the D-Line was amazing. Or maybe that was because…
- .I felt that the pass protection was atrocious. The FBs didn’t really seem to be doing much (I think he got blown up by a defender on the pick-six but CBKWIT swears that was Quinn Tedford) and the lack of Alex Mack seems really obvious.
- I didn’t really notice the LBs one way or another.
- Tavecchio is soooooo much better. The first play of the day was a KO by Georgio that went to the endzone and the crowd whooped in appreciation. He nailed some 40yd FGs but missed a couple of 50+yd ones.
Now this may all be stupid because I’m not the best at critically observing things but that’s what I feel :p
In other words, Go Bears!

A few more...
- Cattouse (a.k.a Cat-house) was also flying all over
- Marvin Jones had a great PR
- Marc Anthony looks legit. I didn’t see Hagan anywhere and Conte is out with a concussion
- Our D has great speed. It looked all sorts of sweeps were broken up in the back
- Too many false starts by the O
- It was almost as if within milliseconds of snapping the ball someone (or more) from the D was in the back about to wreck havoc.
- I heard that there were some recruits there. I only saw Branzinski. The guys looks like he’ll be a riot (in a good way). He was sort of a highlighter.
In other words, Go Bears!
Little was moved to OLB apparently

Tyre Ellison has a really good story. He’ll never play, but he was sent as the team’s representative for some conference on Student Athletics. He’s a walk-on still, I believe.

Man I wasn’t paying attention at all. I basically remember Tavecchio’s booming opening kick…Quinn Tedford getting blown the fuck up…long pass to Ross.
The rest was just the defense stuffing the RBs like a turkey.
And that’s it…

I feel like the 3-4 Dick LeBeau scheme may just be the Ultimate Defense™. I mean, we may be better this year on the D side of the ball just because all the players have that much more experience playing in it.
