WS Game 7 update:

Former Cal Bears, Allen Craig gave the Cardinals the lead with a solo homer in the 3rd

by LEastCoastBears on Oct 28, 2011 6:52 PM PDT reply actions

and he just came around to score, after drawing an one out walk

not that I necessarily wants the Cardinals to win, but this could be another major professional champion this year with a Golden Bear tie

by LEastCoastBears on Oct 28, 2011 6:57 PM PDT up reply actions

and Craig just brought back a homer

by LEastCoastBears on Oct 28, 2011 7:06 PM PDT up reply actions

I'm here at the match tonight

Let’s beat the Bruins before we beat the Bruins and then beat them some more!

#1 Nebraska beat #23 Ohio State tonight in 4 sets

Nebraska takes on #9 Penn State tomorrow

by LEastCoastBears on Oct 28, 2011 7:01 PM PDT reply actions

Glad to see the Bears back to full strength

Gehan, Corey Johnson, and Robin Rostratter are all in the starting lineup

by LEastCoastBears on Oct 28, 2011 7:04 PM PDT reply actions

Gehan is still only playing backrow only?

by LEastCoastBears on Oct 28, 2011 7:12 PM PDT up reply actions

she hasn't been very sharp with her passing

and Gehan has been the target of most UCLA serves

by LEastCoastBears on Oct 28, 2011 7:21 PM PDT up reply actions

Alumni band in the house

by daveman on Oct 28, 2011 7:09 PM PDT via mobile reply actions

come on Bears

Cal uses their 2nd timeout, trailing 10-16 so far

Oops, sorry. Posted twice. Damn phone.

by daveman on Oct 28, 2011 7:28 PM PDT via mobile up reply actions

Need to come back. Down 18-12.

by daveman on Oct 28, 2011 7:21 PM PDT via mobile reply actions

Ugh, UCLA takes set 1, 25-17

Not sure if it’s just bad matchup or what, Bears can’t outhit UCLA’s blocks.

Go Bears!

by LEastCoastBears on Oct 28, 2011 7:27 PM PDT reply actions

We gave them that set. Too many unforced errors and mistakes. UCLA is just playing a cleaner game. If we tighten up the mistakes we should be able to take these guys.

by daveman on Oct 28, 2011 7:29 PM PDT via mobile up reply actions

UCLA up 11-7 in set 2, Cal with a timeout

Cal playing cleaner but fell victim to some great UCLA serves

by LEastCoastBears on Oct 28, 2011 7:38 PM PDT reply actions

Parrot in for Barrett

surprising but Barrett hasn’t been that sharp this game

by LEastCoastBears on Oct 28, 2011 7:42 PM PDT reply actions

This move by Feller has made a huge difference.

by daveman on Oct 28, 2011 7:59 PM PDT via mobile up reply actions

13-13 in set 2

GO BEARS!

by LEastCoastBears on Oct 28, 2011 7:42 PM PDT reply actions

Cal up 18-17 and forces a UCLA timeout

Cal on a roll since Parrot came in

by LEastCoastBears on Oct 28, 2011 7:45 PM PDT reply actions

Cal up 21-19 now

by LEastCoastBears on Oct 28, 2011 7:49 PM PDT up reply actions

Set 2: Cal up 23-20, UCLA uses their 2nd timeout

GO BEARS!

by LEastCoastBears on Oct 28, 2011 7:51 PM PDT reply actions

That's more like it, Bears take set 2, 25-20

match tied at 1-1

by LEastCoastBears on Oct 28, 2011 7:53 PM PDT reply actions

Just got in. How are we looking?

The #1 greatest threat to America: BEARS

by norcalnick on Oct 28, 2011 7:57 PM PDT reply actions

looking better in set 2

particularly after Parrot entered the game

to be fair, Cal immediately scored on a fluky play and that kind of kick started the set for the Bears

by LEastCoastBears on Oct 28, 2011 7:59 PM PDT up reply actions

would be interesting to see

whether Parrot or Barrett will be the starting setter for set 3

by LEastCoastBears on Oct 28, 2011 8:00 PM PDT up reply actions

Furd update, Furd took the first two sets easily against U$C

25-18 and 25-14

by LEastCoastBears on Oct 28, 2011 7:58 PM PDT reply actions

Hmm, based on the conference standings that would actually be a good thing. Odd.

The #1 greatest threat to America: BEARS

by norcalnick on Oct 28, 2011 8:00 PM PDT up reply actions

U$C’s only conference loss is to UCLA

by LEastCoastBears on Oct 28, 2011 8:01 PM PDT up reply actions

World Series update please.

by daveman on Oct 28, 2011 8:00 PM PDT via mobile reply actions

6-2 Cards in the top of the 8th

Cards are 5 outs away

by LEastCoastBears on Oct 28, 2011 8:00 PM PDT up reply actions

6-2 Cards, middle of the 8th now

by LEastCoastBears on Oct 28, 2011 8:03 PM PDT up reply actions

Allen Craig = should be series MVP. 2 more HRs!

The #1 greatest threat to America: BEARS

by norcalnick on Oct 28, 2011 8:00 PM PDT up reply actions

but it will be Freese if the Cards hold on to win this one

by LEastCoastBears on Oct 28, 2011 8:01 PM PDT up reply actions

Yeah, probably. How annoying!

It’d be crazy if Cal had the reigning championship game/series MVPs in two different sports.

The #1 greatest threat to America: BEARS

by norcalnick on Oct 28, 2011 8:03 PM PDT up reply actions

Parrot is the starter for set 3 according to Gametracker

by LEastCoastBears on Oct 28, 2011 8:02 PM PDT reply actions

11-10 Bears

Very back-and-forth 3rd set so far.

The #1 greatest threat to America: BEARS

by norcalnick on Oct 28, 2011 8:12 PM PDT reply actions

set 3 is pretty tight

but UCLA has the lead right now at 14-11 to force a Cal timeout

GO BEARS!

by LEastCoastBears on Oct 28, 2011 8:14 PM PDT reply actions

Ugh, that timeout didn’t help.

The #1 greatest threat to America: BEARS

by norcalnick on Oct 28, 2011 8:18 PM PDT up reply actions

Cal needs to rally here down 14-20 in set 3

by LEastCoastBears on Oct 28, 2011 8:18 PM PDT reply actions

Allen Craig = World Series Champ

his catch ended the series

by LEastCoastBears on Oct 28, 2011 8:22 PM PDT reply actions

joining other first time champ and former Cal Bears this year

Jason Kidd, Aaron Rodgers, and Desmond Bishop

by LEastCoastBears on Oct 28, 2011 8:25 PM PDT up reply actions

Got worked that last set. Need to pull it together here in set 4. Go Bears!

by daveman on Oct 28, 2011 8:27 PM PDT via mobile reply actions

Go Bears!

Hope to see us play our first 5 setter this season.

by LEastCoastBears on Oct 28, 2011 8:27 PM PDT reply actions

Barrett back in to start set 4.

by daveman on Oct 28, 2011 8:28 PM PDT via mobile reply actions

Barrett and Shoneweiss starting set 4 for the Bears

by LEastCoastBears on Oct 28, 2011 8:28 PM PDT reply actions

more changes for the Bears

Marlee Davis in instead of Freeman

by LEastCoastBears on Oct 28, 2011 8:30 PM PDT up reply actions

Bears down 7-12 in set 4

maybe things will change after the Cal timeout

by LEastCoastBears on Oct 28, 2011 8:35 PM PDT reply actions

18-16, UCLA up

Dunno how Cal is still in this set, but they’re hanging around somehow.

The #1 greatest threat to America: BEARS

by norcalnick on Oct 28, 2011 8:43 PM PDT reply actions

UCLA follows up great play

by serving out of bound

by LEastCoastBears on Oct 28, 2011 8:44 PM PDT up reply actions

Cal cut UCLA's lead to just 2

16-18 in set 4

by LEastCoastBears on Oct 28, 2011 8:43 PM PDT reply actions

ugh, 2 quicks Bruin points

timeout Bears

by LEastCoastBears on Oct 28, 2011 8:45 PM PDT reply actions

Falling apart after almost coming back. Dang.

The #1 greatest threat to America: BEARS

by norcalnick on Oct 28, 2011 8:47 PM PDT reply actions

7 straight points ends it. Yikes.

The #1 greatest threat to America: BEARS

by norcalnick on Oct 28, 2011 8:48 PM PDT up reply actions

Yikes, Cal need to beat $C tomorrow

to keep their Pac-12 hope alive

by LEastCoastBears on Oct 28, 2011 8:49 PM PDT reply actions

Well that sucked.

by daveman on Oct 28, 2011 8:50 PM PDT via mobile reply actions

It's both good and disturbing to see Rich Fuller trying various things tonight

the previously injured Bears need to find their groove soon

by LEastCoastBears on Oct 28, 2011 8:50 PM PDT reply actions

Sounds like we might have to hope that everybody gets healthy in time to coalesce for an NCAA run this year.

The #1 greatest threat to America: BEARS

by norcalnick on Oct 28, 2011 8:53 PM PDT up reply actions

with no clear dominant team this year

I don’t think winning the Pac-12 and getting one of the top 4 seed matters as much this year although it would obviously be great to win another Pac title (and win one outright, if possible…at this point, that will be quite hard)

by LEastCoastBears on Oct 28, 2011 9:05 PM PDT up reply actions

Yeah, doesn’t matter right now. Get it together by the end and we’ll be in the hunt.

by Avinash Kunnath on Oct 28, 2011 9:44 PM PDT up reply actions

I was at the game, in the alumni band. UCLA played a great game, and I can’t fault anyone on the Cal team for the loss. Feller tried all sorts of looks, but Cal was still outplayed. The new UCLA coach is a bitch, though. He was working the refs like it was a men’s basketball game. He wouldn’t shut up, and was gnawing on the refs’ ears all night. I can’t say it worked though.
