The Sacramento Report: Spring Scrimmage Edition
I can't imagine a more perfect setting for a Cal spring practice. It was a beautiful, sunny day in the low 60s with an occasional, cool breeze. A sizable crowd of knowledgeable Cal fans was on hand, plus a cavalcade of recognizable figures from the past and (hopefully) the future. And the entire...
Brennan Scarlett, Central Catholic Defensive End, Commits To Cal
Just minutes ago at Central Catholic in Portland Oregon, Brennan Scarlett chose Cal over Notre Dame, Furd, UCLA, USC and Oregon, reports Brandon Huffman of Scout. Tosh Lupoi now has another important defensive line recruit, although Ron Gould was Scarlett's main recruiter. A US Army All-American...
The Sacramento Report: Unsportsmanlike Conduct
We all know that Cal fans are a loyal bunch, but even I was impressed at the crowd on hand for the last meeting of the year. Despite the most demoralizing Big Game loss since the Holmoecaust and a meeting just a day before a major holiday a solid crowd of fans alums were on hand to talk a little...

Deboskie-Johnson, Sofele, Yarnway Battle To Be Cal's Second Tailback
J.J. Arrington and Marshawn Lynch. Marshawn Lynch and Justin Forsett. Jahvid Best and Shane Vereen. Cal's best running seasons have come in twos in the past few decades--they've finished 1st, 3rd, 13th and 5th when two runners managed 70 carries or more (2009 was an anomaly because Best dominated...
Running Back Styles: Comparing Shane Vereen to Jahvid Best
The first thing I’ve always noticed about Jahvid Best are his strides--long and galloping. Every step he takes seems to bring him a foot futher away from a defender trailing him on the play. It’s why he’s virtually unstoppable if he gets past 5-10 yards from the line of scrimmage,...
