Cal Football Roundtable: A Look Back at the Defense
Kodiak: Statistically, the Cal defense ranked first in the Pac-12 and in the top 25 nationally. But did we really perform that way? What went right? What went wrong? We were worried about replacing Cam Jordan, MikeyMo, and Chris Conte; were our fears answered or justified? Going into his...
Cal Football Roundtable: What Does the Offense Look Like Next Year?
With our palates sufficiently cleansed of dribbled shotgun snaps, matador blocks, and air-mailed passes, let's pump a little sunshine and look forward to better and brighter days. Or can we? What improvements do we need to see out of our offense next season? Who needs to step up? Do we have the...
A Golden Spotlight on Cal Football Highlights Against the Texas Longhorns
Having presumably recovered from holiday revelry and with shiny-resolutions bolstering our collective spirit, what better way to kick off the new year than by reliving the wonderful Holiday Bowl? (Please don't throw things at your monitor. I tried to fake an injury to get out of reviewing the...
Cal vs. Texas Holiday Bowl Preview: The Longhorns Rushing Attack
Texas likes to run the ball the way Dr. Seuss liked green eggs n' ham. They will run it on any down or distance, out of any formation, and with nary a nod towards the score or game clock. Case in point, down by 17 against Baylor in the 4th quarter, the Longhorns still had a two to one rush/pass...
Cal Football Great Aaron Rodgers' Interview with Roxy Bernstein on 95.7 FM
Just a quick excerpt featuring Roxy's question: "Are you still bitter about being cheated out of your Rose Bowl?" The rest of the interview will probably be available on the 95.7 website as a podcast later this week.
Cal Football: A Golden Spotlight on Tedford's New Offense vs. the ASU Sun Devils
"He gives us the added dimension to make plays with his feet," came the anointment of Zach Maynard as the starting QB after spring ball. "Less volume and more creativity for the offense" was the coachspeak uttered at the conclusion of fall camp. But would it work? Could "modern" spread, pistol,...
Cal Football: A Golden Spotlight On Isi Sofele Against the Oregon State Beavers
A steamrolling victory creates a wealth of potential focal points. Do I look at the defense coming up with two goal line turnovers? Or play the Debbie Downer card and look at our "special" teams? Maybe I could look at unicorns, the Tooth Fairy, holding penalties, and other mythical constructs. ...
Cal Football: A Golden Spotlight on the Run Game Against the WSU Cougars
The Cal Oline had to be feeling pretty good about themselves this weekend. 318 total rushing yards isn't too shabby, even if it's put up against the movable object which is the Wazzu defense. (And yes, that is my pre-pictorial conclusion.) It's 2nd and goal. Cal just tried to run a sweep to...
Cal-WSU Post-Game Thoughts
As the saying goes, "a win is a win," and this one was desperately needed. Fans voiced their low morale and apathy for the Cal football program with row upon row of vacated seats at AT&T park. Or, perhaps there was an Occupy rally that conflicted with the game. Much respect to the students...
Cal Football: A Golden Spotlight on the Pistol vs. the UCLA Bruins
The writers at CGB realize that we have reputation to uphold. No matter how dismal or dark the hour grows, we somehow find a way to keep the sunshine pumps on overdrive. And so it was with a heavy heart and several adult beverages that I looked to the game film and tried to find a way to put...
