Texas-Cal Football Post Mortem: Defense
It's the late third quarter and the Horns are holding on to a shaky 14-10 lead. They punt from their own end zone after just missing on a 3rd and 18 throw to Goodwin at midfield. The punt dribbles feebly from Tucker's leg like the third shake of your wang after you've been sipping Concord Grape...
Holiday Bowl Preview: California Offense
DANG! What's up with all these books? Read this 1868 write-up in the New York Times detailing a not-so-epic, mostly very sad, Texas bull-California grizzly contest decried as a "burlesque of civilization" (after several breathless paragraphs detailing the action, mind you). It is equal parts...
New Depths in Sporting Failure, Sponsored (as always) by Baylor
In the final game of the Houston Regional last night, Baylor held a three run lead heading into the bottom of the 9th inning. Baylor found ways to lose in ways that only Baylor can. Ultimately, Cal Sophomore Devon Rodriguez delivered a two-run single to right on a 1-2 pitch with two outs in the...
The Week That Will Be (11.13.2010)
Last Week: 5-1 ATS 4-2 SU For the Year: 25-31-4 (.446) ($-890) ATS 39-21 (.650) SU What we learned last week: We learned that Nick Saban needs to quit going to the beach during this bye weeks…with the loss to LSU Saban is now 16-14 in games after a bye week in his career… We learned that Andrew...
Around the Horns
Football/Recruiting: GhostofBigRoy continues his recruiting charts with a look at perhaps the most important boards, the running backs and offensive line. If Texas can add Malcolm Brown or Brandon Williams they can have 2 featured players on offense at the same in Gilbert+new RB. That's a...
Cal Men's Basketball Can't Quite Close Out the Gold Out
A spirited Gold Out welcomed the Arizona Wildcats into Haas Pavilion. In stark contrast to the previous game against Stanfurd, this time it was Cal that had the size advantage. In a match-up of polar opposites, would the deep bench and quick athletes from Zona have the edge, or would the Bears be...
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 Bears Outwit, Outplay, and Outlast the UW Huskies
Crabbe set the tone early and started off by aggressively taking it to the hole twice for consecutive baskets. UW countered by trying to work their size advantage inside. After the two teams exchanged blows early, it was tied at 6. Then Jorge asserted himself. He completed an old-fashioned...
Cal Men's Basketball vs. the UW Huskies Preview
Words cannot describe what a pleasure it was researching the Washington Huskies this week. Fortunately, Apple(tm) laptops are made of stern stuff, and repeated blows whenever I saw that infuriating logo failed to destroy my monitor. (Dear Apple, if you'd like to sponsor me, I'd like a boat,...
Too Much Harper, Jorge, and Cobbs for the Utes
When Cal started the first five minutes 1 of 5 from the field en route to a 2-5 deficit, it was hard not to take a deep breath and think "here we go again." Fortunately, the defense came to play and Harper Kamp maintained his hot hand. And a 18-2 run quickly reversed the Bear fortune to 20-7,...
