Golden Nuggets of the Day: The Depth Chart Comes Together

PrintGreetings from the stratosphere somewhere near New York. My flight was a little turbulent passing over Memorial Stadium thanks to Anger's exospheric punts. Anyway, today is a big news day as the Bears began preparing for Maryland yesterday. We have stories about developments within the depth chart, a surprisingly comprehensive preview/ranking from the New York Times, and a look into the future for Maryland's players. [TwistNHook: "The future, Berkelium?"] Yes, the future.
- The New York Times' College Sports blog has a well researched, comprehensive, and very impressive preview of Cal, who lands at 9th in their rankings. It examines Bears lost to the NFL, new players to watch, breakdowns of positions, a prediction for how Cal will finish the season (BCS bowl), and best of all, a mention of California Golden Blogs!
- The depth chart is beginning to come together for receivers, the O-line, fullbacks, and some special teams positions. It will be a few days before kickers are sorted out. Members of the sixth-ranked offensive lineman recruiting class of 2007 are finally getting the chance to prove why they were so highly regarded.
- Cam Inmans story on why this may be "The Year" for Cal features plenty of quotes from the normally quiet Syd'Quan Thompson.
- The Daily Cal looks at freshman phenom Isi Sofele. The San Francisco Chronicle examines another physics-defying speedster, Jahvid Best.
- Maryland's players are preparing for Cal in innovative and surprising ways. This week they are preparing well for the day after the game as Coach Freidgen says they are tired, sore, and beaten up.
- SportingNews.com has its best of the Pac-10 awards featuring both the good (Kevin Riley has the best arm, Syd is the best in man-to-man coverage, Cal's D-line and LBs are the best, sprint draw to Best is the best play, and Tavecchio somehow beats Kai Forbath as the best kicker with the game on the line) and the bad (Oregon apparently has the best chance to upset USC).

That sportingnews article is ridiculous. The fact that they put Tavecchio as the best kicker in a pressure situation or whatever just proves they have no idea what they’re talking about, so I wouldn’t worry too much about the “best blog” slight, Berkelium.
Never mind the “best chance to beat SC” nonsense.
Don't knock my boy Giorgio!!!
Tavecchio will be the second coming of Frederickson this year!!!!
Perhaps I am bias because he went to my high school, but still, full faith in the Italian Stallion at kicker!!!

Did anyone know that Jeff Tedford almost went to coach San Diego State instead of Cal? I had no idea. Very interesting article here.

To be fair, isn’t San Diego supposedly the perfect place to retire?

It’s alright if you’re within 2 miles of the coast, where homes are bajillions of dollars. Once you go the slightest bit inland you’re basically in San Bernardino.
