Tomorrow, July 30, 2009 is Pac10 Media Day. There will be a live feed available at the Official Pac10 website. So, you can follow along online tomorrow.
We just received confirmation that we will have Berkelium97 in attendance. This is extraordinarily exciting. He will be sending Twitter updates throughout the day, so keep it locked to the GoldenBlogs Twitter for more information. And he'll try to get a question in. Propose various questions in the comments and maybe he'll be able to get it in! Of course, if this all works out, then next week we'll have posts with photos and stories from the events. Thanks to Berkelium97 for his help in this matter.
Here are some of his biggest updates of the day (including a question for Tedford at 11:49):
1:41 PM--I'll have more in an actual post. Lots of notes which i'll transcribe later.
1:12 PM--Roundtable lunch with tedford, best, and cal media.
12:37 PM--Commish is speaking now and half the audience has cleared out.
12:18 PM--If in charge of ncaa carroll says there would be "an awesome playoff system"
12:15 PM--Barkley is far ahead of any newcomer usc has ever had. He's not too far behind corp.
11:36 AM--Tedford considering leaving a day earlier for minnesota game.
11:19 AM--Stoops brothers won't play each other unless they happen to meet in a bowl game.
11:17 AM--Jahvid is in the room!
11:05 AM--He says cal fans always send him the longest, most intellectually stimulating letters.
10:24 AM--Harby speaks of toby with an enthusiasm unknown to mankind.
10:11 AM--Note to Cal defense: yelling at Kevin Price (ucla qb) won't break his composure (this comes from Reggie Carter's comments)
10:05 AM--Neuby (UCLA coach Rick Neuheisel): "early commits are trouble"
9:48 AM--Wsu will incorporate some spread elements next year-interesting.
We'll be including some brief notes of Tedford and Best's Q&A after the interview concludes, right after the jump. GO BEARS!
Here are brief notes about each question Tedford and Best answered.
On playing the Emerald Bowl close to home: "Great experience to play a home bowl game."
Biggest factors in losing to Maryland: Tedford believes "humidity and execution were the big factors" in the Maryland loss; they will try to travel to Minnesota earlier.
On having seven straight 1000 yard rushers and great success in the running game: This is due to tandems (JJ/Marshawn, Marshawn/Forsett, Best and Vereen), great coaching, great talent. Tedford also says Jahvid is worth the price of admission, one of the best running backs in the country.
What is Coach looking for from Kevin Riley: Says he has a leg ahead of Beau and Brock because of the experience factor. Looking for more consistency.
Said something interesting about the mindset of Cal fans: “They’d prefer a Rose Bowl over the National Championship Game."
About the USC game: “It’ll be an electric environment.” He says it didn’t know that Cal had scheduled USC for the homecoming game, and doesn’t know how the homecoming game is scheduled.
Chris Guarnero will be Cal's new center: “Alex was the traffic controller.”; Jahvid: “We’re going to miss Mack’s practice intensity.”
Berkelium's question, paraphrased: “Will we use Best as a special teams gunner?”
Coach: “I’m not even going to let Jahvid answer that question. No. We don’t want to wear Jahvid out.”
Talks about the 3-4: Syd’Quan Thompson, one of the best corners in the country, and the leader of the defense...Says more familiarity with the defense might make them experiment more.” Does he regret how he handled the QB situation last year?
Does he regret how he handled last season's quarterback situation? Doesn’t like quarterback by committee, but doesn’t regret how he handled the situation last year. Wasn’t enough consistency to go with one guy.
Best for Heisman, is he afraid of that possibly being a distraction?
~Jahvid is a team above self type of guy.
~Won’t be a distraction.
~Not our goal as a team.

Here was the information from the official site:
The Pacific-10 Conference will conduct its annual Football Media Day on Thursday, July 30, 2009, beginning at 9:30 a.m. PT at the Sheraton Gateway LAX Hotel. The event will be streamed live and, for the first time, fans can take part and submit questions for the Pac-10 head coaches and players in attendance.
Each Pac-10 institution will be represented by its head football coach and a leading returning student-athlete, who will be given the opportunity to address media members from around the country. In addition, new Pac-10 Commissioner Larry Scott will be on hand to address the media.
Pac-10 Football Media Day may be viewed in its entirety on www.pac-10.org, Pac-10 member school websites and numerous other additional media outlets. For the first time, fans will have the opportunity to have their questions answered by the coaches and players via the Pac-10 Twitter account. Questions may be submitted at any time leading up to the event or on the day itself. The best questions will be selected and asked by the webcast's host, Steve Physoic, who will be calling Pac-10 football games this season on Fox Sports Net.
You can follow updates from the Official Pac10 Twitter (and they apparently accept questions there).
Here is the schedule of events for tomorrow:

What Berklium is not telling you is that he on the end of the row and the hot mic girl keeps standing near him trying to get his attention. BUT he is sooo focused on football he never noticed. I saw it with my own eyes.

Could Jake Locker be like the next Dennis Dixon? As in the guy who got drafted, almost played baseball, but then stuck with football and had an outstanding season (until injury).
www.californiagoldenblogs.com
Yeah, but Dennis Dixon couldn’t hit a curveball, and didn’t have much a future in baseball. Much easier to focus on football in that case.
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!
Same situation with Drew Henson.

More like, the reason he quit was because he couldn’t hit a curveball, so he went back to football.

- The Pac-10 is 9-2 in BCS bowls since 2000.
- The Pac-10 has the highest all-time bowl game winning percentage of all FBS conferences.

Yeah, health sucks. The problem is that doctors don’t talk to each other. Urologist says “not my issue go here”. Pain management guy says “I’ll inject you for nerve pain but anything orthopedic is out of my scope”. Trying to get into physical therapy, a chiropracter, or even an orthopedic specialist. But Kaiser is all referral based.
I’m so done with an HMO system and going back to PPO at the end of the year. I so want the ability to self-refer back in my control.

no pass needed
No passes were truly needed, I showed up with laptop in hand and no one said a word. I was really just spying on Berklium, but I did manage to get a pic with Jahvid Best. (I seem not to be able to post it here lame alert)

Believes running back success
Is due to tandems (JJ/Marshawn, Marshawn/Forsett, Best and Vereen), great coaching, great talent.
Says Jahvid is worth the price of admission, one of the best running backs in the country.

He's looking for Kevin Riley to show more consistency
Says he has a leg ahead of Beau and Brock because of the experience factor. Looking for more consistency.

Not a good sign
I actually don’t like the tone of this comment. It suggests to me that he might still be undermining Riley’s confidence, or that if Riley screws up early that someone else can be put in. Then we are right back where we started and ended the past couple years.
I highly doubt Tedford is purposely trying to undermine Riley’s confidence. He knows he needs Riley to do well this year. Tedford’s a pretty straight shooter too, so he’s not going to make Riley sound better than he is – and consistency is something which Riley needs to work on.

I heard Tedford crank calls Riley several times in the middle of the night before gamedays.
by CalBandGreat on Jul 30, 2009 4:39 PM PDT up reply actions
Or, maybe Tedford knows the kid needs a push. The only person in a position to make that judgment is Tedford. Moreover, listen to the interview, Riley will take THE first snap. And, is it really disputable that Riley needs to be more consistent?
It'll be just you, me, and Peter Nincompoop.

Tedford has noted that Chris Guarnero has moved into the center spot.
To replace Alex.
“Alex was the traffic controller.”

That’s BS! Jahvid should be on the field at all times. And if he isn’t, all the other players should be saying, “Where’s Jahvid?”

Laughing with or at??
There was a chuckle in the room at the question. Not sure if they were laughing with or at Berklium. (just kidding, they were laughing at Tedford’s response which amounted to non-verbal HELL no)
Haha nice question from the CGB's
Way to represent. I laughed.

Does he regret how he handled the QB situation last year?
Doesn’t like quarterback by committee, but doesn’t regret how he handled the situation last year. Wasn’t enough consistency to go with one guy.

Actually what I meant was do you want the whole Tedford/Jahvid segment, or video of just Berk answering the question?
Hey danzig, what program do you use to record live streaming video?
by CalBandGreat on Jul 30, 2009 11:52 AM PDT up reply actions
Most flash video on any website is static. So when that’s the case I don’t record anything. If you watch it on your browser, you technically are downloading it already. I just take it off my temp internet files… you just gotta know where to look.
For asx and for streaming files (like this event) I use Hypercam2. The quality depends on how good your computer is so when I’m recording at work, the quality might be weak… so not a great program….but at home with a powerful computer Hypercam is a great solution.
For sites with strong security and a solid web design, I have other methods… you just find solutions for different situations.
I guess is it possible to have both? Otherwise, I guess the former (we can always just point to the specific area where Berk gets in the action).

Berklium, thank you for your great work.
Did you bring up a possible interview with Ted Miller?
All aboard the Jahvid Best rickshaw!
I thought about it, but decided against it. Now wouldn’t be the best time to ask, especially since he said he’s going to start getting really busy as the season approaches. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s willing to do an interview in the next offseason. I did get to ask him a variety of questions, though, which will be posted when I get around to writing up all this stuff.
Whose domicile? OUR DOMICILE!
I was at work the whole day (obviously) and missed it all
Any recaps/transcripts for moi?
In other words, Go Bears!
There’s a twitter recap, plus brief notes from me about Tedford and Best’s Qs above, PLUS the whole 15 minute interview on the frontpage.
