California vs. UC Davis Kickoff First Quarter Thread
UC Davis Aggies at California Golden Bears, Sep 4, 2010 1:00 PM PDT
Follow the Cover It Live liveblog for additional coverage, plus live updates from our many Twitter feeds (including ours). If you're having trouble viewing the live blog, click here and it should pop up in a separate window.
Try not to submit comments unless they are (a) insightful, or (b) hilarious--we won't approve them otherwise. This is more of a historical record of the game and we don't want to clutter it with extraneous details. The comments section remains the place to talk.
Also, what's your pregame music to pump you up? What are you listening to in the moments before gameday? I'm probably listening to the Cal Band. Because I have no choice (just kidding, just kidding, Cal Band Great).

Can’t go until the in-laws get back from Taiwan to help babysit, or until my kids are old enough to go with me. :(

Hey do you have a Twitter account? Can you ask one of the folks in Memorial my question about the crowd? I forgot my Twitter password.. :p

First quarter thread, live blog, making a snack for my son….

It’s basically this song by Edith Piaf: Non, Je ne regrette rien (No, I don’t regret anything)
In other words, Go Bears!
I remember that song from the movie..
But i was talking about this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JGHI4TAC5U
It's Bear Territory
Good luck this year, today should be fun. my family is heading out for their 36th year of Cal football. Hope to get up for at least one game. Anxious to see how Allen looks. Go Bears!!
Can we schedule Florida this year?

Seriosuly though I think the cover it live is just a place to send questions and get updates from actual ‘mods / admins’ you know the very very important people.
I think the comments down here is for the rest of us low class fans and our mostly useless comments.
VERY important. If you’ve got something cool to share though, please feel free to send a comment to the Cover It Live box.

What’s this veetle business about? Is it better quality?
by atomsareenough on Sep 4, 2010 12:34 PM PDT up reply actions
I can do that, I just want to be sure it’s not spyware or something dangerous or anything like that.
by atomsareenough on Sep 4, 2010 12:35 PM PDT up reply actions
This veetle stream’s quality is really really good. I’ve seen better on veetle but that’s b/c they’re almost hd.
Veetle are hit or miss, but a lot of times the quality is A LOT better than the best you can find on justin tv.
To use veetle you have to download the client and install on your computer. Then refresh the veetle page and it should work. It’s pretty simple. No login account to make or anything liek that. (For all the computer geeks out there I’m not sure about the footprints it leaves on the computer but it seems pretty clean to me, no visible spyware/adware at all, but you just never know these days. It’s good enough for me).
I don’t see any footprints but I need to run some tests after the game. For now I don’t care
In other words, Go Bears!
Thanks. I’m installing it for now. Please lemme know if you find any issues.

Hmm. The veetle stream appears to be bass fishing or something.

Lol even though the Comcast TV guide says UCLA vs Kansas St, I’m getting the Michigan game
In other words, Go Bears!
I hope I'll get to see a replay of the Colo-CSU game
A big improvement for Colorado, it seems… since they lost to them last year

Gonna watch UCLA
lots of talented skill positions… not so much on the OL

Prince is starting for UCLA
Interesting… I thought he was injured…
He had two straight in completions to Pressley
In other words, Go Bears!
Prince is still battling oblique
but playing. not a very pretty start
Announcement: PRD just put his stream up
PRD is seriously the man. Or woman. You’re basically the shit.
PRD’s stream seems to be about 1 minute ahead (for those of you trying to decide between real-time versus picture quality)
1 minute ahead?
PRD is broadcasting from the future?!

So....
Do we root against Michigan this year so Harbaugh will go away, or is it more interesting/exciting to have him around?
I am rooting against Michigan
All season long with an enthusiasm unknown to mankind. Harbaugh to Michigan would set stanfurd football back. Which I would welcome.

That’s pretty much where I was at, but I wasn’t sure if it was a consensus position :)

I've been watching the newest season of Ace of Cakes recently...

I'd be a lot more excited for today's game
if I could watch it on tv.

haha thanks everyone!
is this available for all of their games??
prd is pretty guaranteed.
the veetle guy, not completely sure but he put up the stream and went to the game. might be the first time he’s doing this so not sure baout the reliability but the quality is great.
Is kickoff at 1:00, or does the coverage start at 1:00? Is there no pregame?
by atomsareenough on Sep 4, 2010 12:54 PM PDT up reply actions
kickoff’s prob 1:30, i’m thinking

Greetings!
FIrst time really online in a week. I bit the bullet and paid for 24 hours of internet coverage this hotel.
hi everyone
this is what i get for trying to watch the game with a davis alum – he bailed, so now i’m watching at home =(
He could sense the impending slaughter,
by atomsareenough on Sep 4, 2010 12:53 PM PDT up reply actions
probably, although the real question
is: will we cover? i lean towards “no”…
by richmindbear on Sep 4, 2010 12:54 PM PDT up reply actions
I have faith in our offense. We’ll probably cover. I’d put the over/under on points scored by Cal at 40.
by atomsareenough on Sep 4, 2010 12:56 PM PDT up reply actions
the defense is my concern
i could see this being a classic cal early season game: back-and-forth for a while, then break away by a few scores, then play a contain game to finish things off. not sure that leads to a 30+ win, even as bad as davis is supposed to be…

Decisions.. decisions...
Should I go for the higher quality stream or a stream that’s more on time!?
In other words, Go Bears!
I'm struggling with the same decision
"Some people watch adult videos on their computer - I go to YouTube and watch Jahvid Best highlight clips. That’s what gets me going."- Jim Schwartz, Detroit Lions head coach
I’m opting for the on time one.
Not that it affects me today, but there’s been way too many sports games I’ve watched where I heard screams from the neighbors or across the street or the other room, something that ruined the surprise of a crazy play or game changing moment.
I really really hated that.
Use both, keep the veetle stream’s volume down and use it for replays.

allright ladies go to the restroom, get lunch/beer, whatever you need now!
Game starts in 5!
In other words, Go Bears!
I Uconn was just nervous....
they’re moving the chains right now
UCLA offense looks anemic
It could be an ugly year when they get to Pac-10 play.

Nice stop boys

Is
Keenan Allen in starting lineup? kid should be a big time playmaker.
Nice run Shane

Ross and Calvin
second string? curiuos to see how Riley and receivers do.
Why is our O-line not pushing the Aggies out of the way?
They’re solid I guess but UCD is not a Div-1 A team…
In other words, Go Bears!
They’re doing a good job so far. As soon as the last play was snapped, they pushed the entire D-line back a few feet. It’s still early, though.

ok this is way too confident for a cal fan...
but if the the offense rolls today i am hoping tedford finds some meaningful attempts for sweeney
z
Allen with an end-around If I remember my Hydrotech, they’re going to use that look later to run a different play.
Hagan Started?
just read about his daughter. hope she is ok, must be terrible trying to focus on school and football. no wonder he struggled at times.
Is there a 2nd quarter thread?
Or are we here until halftime?

I don't see one either
Just wondering if we’re doing the same thing as last year.

2nd Q thread here

"Some people watch adult videos on their computer - I go to YouTube and watch Jahvid Best highlight clips. That’s what gets me going."- Jim Schwartz, Detroit Lions head coach
Suggestion from a low class fan but can we perhaps do first half thread / 2nd half thread instead of going by the qtr’s. Too much unnecessary switching in my opinion.
Yes, it is a hassle, but we’d have too many comments otherwise. When the threads get above a certain threshold certain browsers start loading the page slowly or crashing.
