"Let this be a gentlemanly victory!"
IT'S SATURDAY MORNING BEARS! Who among us isn't terrified like hell drunkenly excited to start the conference schedule?
There are other games on the Pac-10 slate; all of them are on some form of TV, so you should get your chance to watch them (of course, if we lose, I expect all of you to go into a 24 hour mourning period, and by mourning, I mean more beer). Pregame/first quarter thread will be up at 11:45 AM!
Arizona at Oregon State, 7:30 PM EST, 4:30 PM PST (Versus)
This is probably just as big a game as ours, at least in terms of figuring out what both of these teams are like. Here are the perspectives from both sides.
Nick Foles is Arizona's new QB, and AZ Desert Swarm is excited about their future with him.
Nick Foles couldn't muster much offense either throwing 6-11 for 55 yards and a TD. His opportunities were limited by the time it got to him. There was no chance for rushing anymore and he still managed to get a score. Foles TD throw to Criner was PERFECT. Can't wait until next week.
Question Four: Defensive line: Can they continue to get pressure on opposing quarterbacks, but come up with more results? Tony Pike was adept at side-stepping Beaver blitzers, and I’m not sure the man Arizona will run out onto the field—Nick Foles— will be nearly as good in that respect. How many sacks are you looking for tomorrow?
More quick looks after the jump.
Arizona State at Georgia, 7 PM EST, 4 PM PST (ESPNU)
This game will give us a good sense as to how good the Sun Devils are against quality opponents. House of Sparky did an interview with SECRivals, mentioning how their Lou Groza award winning kicker Thomas Weber is out 4-6 weeks, and also how important the front seven will be at silencing the mob in Athens.
With the addition of true freshmen Vontaze Burfict and Corey Adams, ASU’s defensive unit has received a boost in athleticism and ability. Combined with Lawrence Guy, Dexter Davis and Mike Nixon, and we see the core of a foreboding front seven.
ASU’s secondary is a real concern with AJ Green roaming the field, but adequate pressure on Joe Cox will be the key to limit Green’s effectiveness.
It seems we're not alone in terms of bad special teams. In an interview with House of Sparky, T Kyle King of Dawg Sports notes that one of Georgia's weaknesses is directional kickoffs.
Where do I begin? The Bulldogs commit too many turnovers and are flagged for too many penalties, many of which are of the "rookie mistake" variety rather than of the "playing aggressively" sort. Although the run defense is stout, the Georgia D is fooled by too many play action fakes. The secondary has failed to take away the deep ball, often getting caught out of position, and the middle of the field frequently is left open, much to the delight of opposing tight ends everywhere. The Red and Black have surrendered 37 or more points in seven of their last twelve games. Georgia’s kickoff coverage is a mess and directional kicking often sends the ball out of bounds to give the other team good starting field position, anyway.
Washington at Leland Junior, 9 PM EST, 6 PM PST (FCS Pacific--also, Dawgman, the Husky mesageboard, will also be doing some interactive stuff with Husky fans)
Big game for the Huskies to show they're not out of tricks after playing their hearts out against the Trojans. John Berkowitz (who writes outstanding game previews), breaks down every facet of UDub v. Furd. He believes Jake Locker and the Huskies can definitely run on the Cardinal, based on their Wake Forest performance.
Stanford has an active front seven that is used to facing a power running game each day in practice. They held SJSU to only 26 yards on 28 carries last week. They didn't do so well against Wake Forest. They gave up 250 yards and that was the tale of the game. They just couldn't figure out the Demon Deacon offense which is pretty tricky.
Washington has been able to run against everyone this year. You would think that LSU and USC would have been able to hut them down but they didn't. The Huskies haven't had any big plays yet but they do pick up big yardage on first down which has helped the offense become one of the national leaders in third down conversions.
Chris Polk is the best looking Washington back in over a decade. He has all the tools. He can catch the ball, run with power, and he has the speed to break the long one. What has really set Chris apart this fall has been his ability to make yards after contact. Polk carried the USC line for valuable extra yards last Saturday.
The last time Jake played in Palo Alto he had a field day running the football. If the coaches decide to give 10-12 pre designed running plays he is very capable of picking up 70-100 rushing yards against the Tree's.
Since the Furd doesn't have an SBN blog, I'm going to visualize what exactly their preview would look like.

That wasn't very nice, was it?
Wazzu at USC, 10:15 PM EST, 7:15 PM PST, FSN HD
This game makes me sad. Even sadder that THIS is the Pac-10 national telecast this week.
Coug Center (who has been churning out quality work, go to their site and see all the great position analyses they're handing out!) at least tries to make humor of it. Nuss comes up with this jewel.
The Trojans are in trouble if
They notice that Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves are on their bus, because that means it’s about to get suddenly commandeered by Dennis Hopper.
Other than that, I think they could turn the ball over on every possession and still figure out a way to win.
At least James Montgomery is healthy. Get well James.
Conquest Chronicles hasn't even bothered with a preview, instead reviewing the shocking upset from last week and blowing apart overblown media anger with the Trojans. One Trojan fan at about the 50 yard line in Husky Stadium dissected the way USC's OC was interacting with Aaron Corp. Could Matt Barkley have been ready to go on Saturday?
Bates: yes some discussions with Corp occurred, but not that much. Contrary to some reports, it wasn't like Bates was constantly trying to handhold Corp through the game. Bates did a lot of standing and watching quietly. Not a heck of a lot of talk with PC. He didn't talk hardly at all with Barkley. The rest of the coaching staff interacted with the players and each other in what could be termed as "normal" or "as expected" - the Defensive staff was very energetic like usual.
Corp: he was really just alone in his little hell that game. Bates had some conversations. But not many, fewer and fewer as game went on. PC barely talked to Corp. Teammates pretty much left him all alone save the occasional passing word with a pat on the back or helmet. Almost no "leader"-type interactions with his line or individual players, the spirit-boosting "come on troops!" stuff we've become used to from SC QBs including Barkley. Most of the 3rd and 4th quarter Corp hung his head and stared at the ground or crossed his arms and stared into space. Then when it was time to take the field a quick word from Bates and off Corp trotted. When Corp returned to the sidelines rarely did a coach go up to him to discuss the series that just finished! Just left him to stand there until the next series.
Barkley: sorry to disagree PC even though I love and trust ya, but Barkley was ready to go and was dying to play. In the 3rd Q he pulled his helmet on and never took it off. He was jumping, smiling, moving up and down the bench talking to everyone, slapping them on the pads, making them laugh. Pumping them up. He did his damndest to catch PC's and Bates' ears. He was one of the only persons to go up to Corp after each series and talk to him, though it seemed like Corp didn't want to talk much and Barkley seemed to respect that, keeping it brief. Barkley threw the ball with zip on the sidelines. He carried a football with him constantly, tossing it from hand to hand as he watched the game. He showed as much energy and spirit as the Defense. Barkley acted like an SC starting QB should act. He was doing on the sidelines what Corp should have been doing on the sidelines.
All those games start up after ours though. There will be a link to a second open thread later on for the late afternoon/evening slate. Enjoy Gameday and the morning slate before we get to cooking duck!

Good Morning
My usual nervous as a bear before a honey eating contest mode(…weak, I know but its early)…been up since 4:30….picked up a rumor (very strong source) I’ll pass along…Cal will not play at the Oakland Coliseum during construction..tells me it will be the Stick becasue I cant see them dealing wtih the Basebbal switch at ATT…old News?
by TKE Prytanis 79 on Sep 26, 2009 6:10 AM PDT reply actions
I remember Sandy mentioning the Stick for Cal a while ago, but don’t think they’ve officially announced it yet. That would sock big time. The Coliseum is close, BART accessible and has plenty o’ tailgating space. It’d be so easy for the students (and me) to get there.

My guess is the A’s don’t want to be scheduling around both Saturday and Sunday games.
I am a horrible bruin-bear crossbreed.
Yeah, but if they’re scheduling around Sunday already, they’ll be out of town for the whole weekend. This year, for example, the only conflicts would’ve been the Maryland and $C game.

I thought I heard that rumor a while ago
I thought it had already been decided that they would NOT play at the Coliseum, due to negotiating with both the Raiders and A’s schedules. They would have to play each homegame the day before the Raiders, which cuts down on the practice time for all four teams involved.
There's no crying in baseball!

I’m pretty nervous. Some strange shit has been happening to me over the last 24 hours.
1) Last night the online stream of the Big Spike was canceled. First stream ever from Haas to run into technical difficulties.
2) This morning, I poured myself a HUGE bowl of cereal and milk. I took my first bite and the cereal was rancid. Of course, I still tried to eat it until I felt like vomiting.. so I had to give up.
3) I pulled out a paper towel from a roll that’s attached to my wall with a roll holder. I yanked… the whole fucking thing came out along with a chunk of my wall. Drywall all over my kitchen.
I’m not superstitious at all.. but this shit is weird.
NOOOO!
Thats bad ju ju, quick go kill a goat or something, don’t ruin this for us!
In communist Russia, Sanchez declares YOU!
Not to One-up, but Weird Things happened to me last night as well
My airplane lands ahead of schedule, then taxis to the terminal. There is no skywalk so they have to drive some stairs over (the michael bluthe pimp my ride type), this takes 15 minutes. Once the stairs arrive, the bus to take me to the terminal is late (another 15 minutes). At the terminal, my luggage was taken to a different baggage claim than the monitor said (20 minutes). My train is delayed and ultimately cancelled (another 45 minutes). No taxis are at my train station leaving a train of people waiting (20 minutes). My taxi driver gets lost (10 minutes). Total amount of time wasted for no good reason 2 hours and 5 minutes.
I had a weird night too
I actually did some work.
Me too, I actually talked to a girl! I kid, I kid.

Yes and no. I don’t know how they choose which games to keep. San Jose and USF can be seen on replay.. but the rest are gone. So is Hawaii (but I recorded it). I have no clue which ones are kept.
As for the big spike… since I didnt’ see it, I don’t know how fun it was… but it went 5 sets so I know some people in the stands were sweating. I asked PRD to record the FSN broadcast and he agreed. Then he got back to me and said it was on tape delay and would be broadcast on Sat during the Oregon game. He ask me which one I wnted, the VB game or Oregon… I said Oregon.
FSN sometimes replays on sunday too.. so if it’s replayed on sunday, then PRD will record it and I’ll upload and post here.
I was this close to smashing things
I was so pissed. I came home early.. got a six pack and was looking forward to this one. Can you tell me what happened? How did Tarrah, Hana and some of our freshmen play?
The Bears had a lot of unforced errors, but looked otherwise to be far superior. They must have given up 20 unforced points.
That’s about as far as my uneducated volleyball analysis can go.
I am a horrible bruin-bear crossbreed.
Who was making those errors? (service errors, hitting out of bounds, hitting the net, lifts, touching the net, procedure penalties)
Was it Tarrah?
Hana was the star of the game. Her number was called more than any other. Tarrah had some nice plays, and I saw a fair amount of good stuff from Correy Johnson as well. CBKWit and I should have a more thorough writeup later.
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!
So what’s everyone watching? I’m going with Cincinnati and Fresno State.

Probably. Since I don’t think that show is funny. I didn’t know we were doing a “finish the quote contest.”
There are so many things wrong with this right now, I don’t even know where to start.

Indiana should put this away
so I don’t have to listen to Pam Ward
I am a horrible bruin-bear crossbreed.
What’s bad about her? I barely notice announcers. Unless it is Musberger/Herby.

This extremely?
Close loss to Miami
Nearly lose to a D-1AA team
Absolutely demolish a top 10 team
Down by 2 scores to an unranked team.

Dude, LSU ran the fucking OPTION and got like 2 yards. FG attempt to regain the lead.

Great example of Pam Ward. She just named the wrong player from IU who made the tackle. Kirlew made the tackle but Ward miscalled him Larry Black Jr. and then proceeded to give a few lines about Black’s back story as a redshirt freshman even as the camera zoomed in on Kirlew and followed him back to the defensive huddle.
Happy Birthday Oski!
Oski’s facebook page says it’s his birthday. Wiki confirms:
Oski or Oski the Bear (named after the “Oski Wow-Wow” yell) is the official mascot of the University of California, Berkeley and has been a tradition at the school since making his debut on September 26, 1941 during the football season-opener against St. Mary’s.
Looking good for 68.
Point Plankn!
One could say he’s forciering things too much.
Am I right, folks? Huh?

Wow, that the most insane thing Ive ever seen. MSU goes for it on 4th and 5 at the LSU 40ish. Dude rolls left nearly gets sacked throws off his back foot nearly gets picked, ball bounches to ANOTHER defending and gets picked.

The most insane thing I’ve ever seen is a schizophrenic homeless guy pushing a baby carriage full of trash down the street while pissing himself and yelling at tourists that the government stole his spleen to control his thoughts.

There is no way that the Mississippi State QB walks off the field today under his own power.

He is getting crushed on every single play, for those not watching. He will probably be carried off on a stretcher.

Some problem with the snap. Never got the kick off. 16-14 LSU at half.

My lag is about 2 minutes I think
I’m about a min behind on most plays – so I think that translates to 2-3 min live – SUX SUX SUX
Wow, I think mine is only like 20 seconds.
