PrintThe number of times Cal basketball will be on television this fall/winter makes it tough to forget that basketball season starts in November.
Cal's Dec. 5 game vs. Iowa State in the Big 12/Pac-10 Hardwood Series will tip at 8 p.m. and air on ESPNU. The Bears' first two games of the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic in Berkeley - vs. Murray State Nov. 9 and vs. Detroit Nov. 11 - will also be on ESPN.
ESPN2 will feature Cal three times, starting with the Bears' two games in New York in the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic. Cal will face Syracuse at 4 p.m. PT Nov. 19 and will play either North Carolina or Ohio State Nov. 20.
The Bears' third appearance on ESPN2 will occur at Kansas Dec. 22 in a game set to begin at 6 p.m. PT.
CBS gets in on the fun too, with some good old-fashioned revenge games.
CBS will come to Haas Pavilion on Saturday, Jan. 23 to air the Cal-Oregon State game at 11 a.m. The network will also show the Bears' game at UCLA Feb. 6, with tipoff slated for 1 p.m.
FSN has already confirmed eight more games. To get the full list, go to the link above.
After the jump we look at why a trip to Minnesota is special for Devin Bishop, announcements about the Cal-Texas series, Brian Holley updates, everything Minnesota-related from their uniform choices to previews of tomorrow's game, 2009 NCAA champs women's swimming picking up where they left off, and more.
- Cal's athletic department confirms the Cal-Texas home-and-home series in 2015 and 2016.
- Brian Holley hopes to play Saturday. He's worked too hard and developed too much as a player to miss any opportunity to contribute.
- ESPN bloggers Ted Miller and Adam Rittenberg discuss the upcoming Big Ten-Pac-10 showdowns this weekend.
- More on the Bears' emphasis of the need to be mentally strong on the road. Meanwhile, Minnesota needs to work on establishing a more consistent offense.
- The trip to Minnesota will be special for Devin Bishop, who twice committed there before ending up at Cal.
- The Bear Will Not Quit has a comprehensive preview of Cal-Minnesota.
- Officials at TCF Bank Stadium believe most mishaps from last weekend will be resolved. The Gophers are going to wear their all-gold uniforms tomorrow. Dave Pasch and Bob Griese will be tomorrow's announcers with Chris Spielman on the sidelines.
- Scouts Inc examines three of Cal's pro prospects: Tepper, Alualu, and Best. The Decker-Thompson matchup will be a great test for both NFL-bound players. JO has more on the Syd and Decker.
- No. 7/8 men's soccer shuts out San Francisco 3-0. Davis Paul, the first Golden Bear to score against SF, will be conflicted as he roots for St Mary's (his sister's team) as they take on Cal.
- Women's swimming excels in its first event, as fourteen of the top fifteen finished belonged to Cal.

Interesting that KenCrw thinks Riley is a potential first rounded. You’d think he’s a bit small for that.

He’s still got to tinker with his throwing motion, but he’s got the arm. I can see him panning out alright, there are a lot of lousy quarterbacks in the league.

Look, I like Riley. But if I am a GM, do I spend a first round pick on him? If I want to get fired, yes. I think there is a chance he could be a good NFL QB so I think maybe 5th round would be perfectly reasonable. Though I want to see him keep completing that ball over 60% of the time before I get really excited about him.

Look, to call his passes accurate would be inaccurate. He throws high. He throws to the side. He throws every which direction. His throws are usually in the general area, but frequently slightly off target. His deep balls aren’t the most accurate, either.

In seriously not good news...
Gabe King is moving to Oregon. Eugene, Oregon to be precise, to play at South Eugene HS.
This is pretty much exactly what someone on the BI boards was worried would happen. Does this mean Cal is no longer his #1?
Isn’t it a bit late to move somewhere for the season?

But Hardy Nickerson, Jr. is now in Oakland
And his hoops-playing twin sister, too.
Haleigh and Hardy Nickerson transferred from North Carolina this year; Hardy plays varsity football like his dad, who is also named Hardy Nickerson. A former Cal Bears and NFL player and Chicago Bears coach, Nickerson is an assistant coach for O’Dowd. Haleigh plays basketball.

Prediction: BSU won’t finish the regular season undefeated. They’ll lose either to Tulsa or the CLAWFENSE at Bowling Green. No downfield passing game, enough inexperience in the front seven to allow for big plays. They could easily get in a hole they won’t be able to climb out of this season, even against their schedule.

Wow, that 4th down conversion was clutch. The QB has some serious leadership ability.
And a lot of balls to tell the coach to send the special team back.
Are we talking about the same play?
I’m talking about
4th and 2 at BSU 45 Ryan Mathews rush for 3 yards to the BoiSt 42 for a 1ST down.
You seem to be talking about:
3rd and 8 at BSU 40 Ryan Colburn pass complete to Chastin West for 30 yards to the BoiSt 10 for a 1ST down.
and a minute ago
they only had 10 yds passing…double sheesh…what are we watching?

After authoritatively passing down the field, they get to the goal line and stop doing what worked so well for them.

Holy crap an actual downfield pass from Moore. That might be his longest tonight and it was only 15 yards or so.

I like it how they started out the game making good, solid open field tackles, then Pat Hill was like “fuck it, runnitupthemiddle” and all of a sudden the Smurfs can’t get a tackle in a crowd.

That was the easiest TD I have ever seen.
I think the entire team took the wrong angle.
And remember, Fresno St. had a sure interception the play before. Talk about a momentum swing.
It seems like Hill is playing the stupidest defense ever. Let’s line up everybody in the box in a desperate attempt to make a play!
As soon as a boise guy gets into open space there’s nobody there

To be fair judging by the results that’s BSU’s strategy as well.

Cal would have 600 yards rushing – 150 each for Best, Vereen, Deboskie and, I don’t know, Holley?

You forget Riley
Riley can scoot.
I think Best would get 200 on 3 carries then be benched for the rest of the game.

Track Meet
They should have just held a track meet. This is not football.

A bunch of fig-eaters wearing towels on their heads, trying to find reverse in a Soviet tank. This is not a worthy adversary.

So is the college football world as a whole rooting for BYU to run the table so Boise State doesn’t get into the BCS? It seems like it should be.

Flagged for your favorite play of the season so far not involving Cal. (My favorite is Boateng’s touchdown catch from Maryland. He made a defensive back fall down with his mind!)
