Cal "Hard Knocks"... Back in Berkeley

Cal Football: Back in Berkeley: Training Camp with Cal Football Episode 2




Note: From the 5:00 - 7:00 mark... are things they don't have in the SEC or at U$C.

Note: From the 5:00 - 7:00 mark... are things they don't have in the SEC or at U$C.

Empty trophy cases?

[MgoBlue-LightSpecial]

Nobody is going to watch those, M2.

[Van]

Cal training camp = lingerie slumber party with massive pillow fights.

[MgoBlue-LightSpecial]

I'm still pissed the Lions drafted Jahvid Best. I knew that fucker was going to spend more time in the trainer's room than on the football field.

[Van]

Well of course he would. The trainer's room is where he's far more likely to see naked men.

[M2]

Well, Cal had their first practice in the newly renovated stadium yesterday... albeit, in helmets and shorts.









They'll be able to practice full-time on the 24th of August, when everything gets finished up/game ready.

It should be complete by the end of the year.



I must say, the "Mothership" is looking mighty nice just two weeks out.






Nice view of "The City" from California Memorial Stadium...

[R-Jack]

Who the fuck cares about the views at a football stadium?

[Carson]

I must say, the "Mothership" is looking mighty nice just two weeks out.

That "deck" looks like a cruise ship, with just as many faggots inside.

Nice view of "The City" from the nose bleed seats...

People who sit here will be saved from watching shitty football.

[M2]

Who the fuck cares about the views at a football stadium?

Human beings.


I can see where this is quite the conundrum for raider fan.

[Carson]

Who the fuck cares about the views at a football stadium?

People ready to jump from the upper deck to get away from the horror on the field.

Pugsley,


I know you SEC folks ain't too bright and you don't get many channels on the UHF antenna down in the sticks so watching other conferences is outta the question.... but Cal is one of the best teams in College Football when they play at home.


They would basically OWN the SEC if they somehow got stuck in that boring ass shit hole of a conference... being that they could play four 'high schools' every year for OOC games and play eight games at HOME.


You need a larger antenna.

[Dinsdale]

They would basically OWN the SEC if they somehow got stuck in that boring ass shit hole of a conference

The SEC would then have 9 of the best QBs in the country.

Sin,
You Know Who

[Van]

Yeah, M2 seems to overlook the fact that nearly every halfway decent team in college football plays really well at home.

By "one of the best" I think he meant "one of the forty-seven best."

[Left Seater]

Cal plays 7 home games and one is against a FCS school. The schedule is so weak they are playing a Friday non holiday home game to drum up intrest for the Washington tilt.

All but certain loss to Oregon plus another loss somewhere in there to finish 5-2 at home = one of the best teams at home.

[M2]

Cal plays 7 home games and one is against a FCS school.

That's still 1 less home game and 3 less 'high school' games then the SEC plays every year.


But who's counting.


You are aware of that little thing Cal has had going for the last two years, right ? You know, renovating the most beautiful, historic stadium in College Football and how they had to reschedule their games due to not knowing what stadium/s they might be playing in. Otherwise, Cal doesn't play high schools OOC. They actually leave the state and play the "Big Boys" of College Football... unlike the SEC.

The schedule is so weak they are playing a Friday non holiday home game to drum up intrest for the Washington tilt.

Seriously, can we go a month in here without me making you look like a fool ?

Just about every team in the PAC 12 plays either a Thurs. or Fri. game this year due to scheduling.




Cal has a weak schedule ??? Too funny.


Cal has quite possibly the toughest back to back games in the country this year...

1. Traveling EAST(most people that travel know it's harder going to the east than flying to the west coast) 3,000 miles they play Ohio State in "The Shoe".

2. Then they travel back to the 'West Coast' and have another ROAD game in less than a week against the #1 College Football team in the country (U$C).

You won't find another team in the country with back to back games as tough as that, period.

Oh yeah, Cal is one of the only teams in the PAC 12, and maybe the country that doesn't have a BYE week this year.

I'll get to the # 5 team in the country (Oregon) that Cal also plays in a second...


but Cal has an easy schedule ??? Too funny.

All but certain loss to Oregon plus another loss somewhere in there to finish 5-2 at home = one of the best teams at home.

You just aren't very bright...


Cal's last 6 games against Oregon... Cal is 3-3.



Cal's last 4 home games against Oregon look like this...

1. L 15-13

2. W 26-16

3. W 45-24

4. W 28-27


But who's counting.

[Dinsdale]

I didn't realize that 13-6 over the last 3 seasons qualified a team as some elite home juggernaut.

[M2]

I didn't realize that 13-6 over the last 3 seasons qualified a team as some elite home juggernaut.

Well, if you had these nightmare's at QB the last few seasons... and any team in the country would lose sleep.



Just one more year... then A-Rod part 2... will be in the house along with the best defense in the PAC 12.


The #2 QB in the country coming out of high school





And the guy has an absolute cannon for an arm... and is VERY accurate.

[Van]

And, just like with the original A-Rod at Cal, the result will again be another few seasons of desultory finishes including no appearances in the Rose Bowl.

So?

[M2]

And, just like with the original A-Rod at Cal, the result will again be another few seasons of desultory finishes including no appearances in the Rose Bowl.

So?

Well, Kline will have better WR's (top WR recruiting class in the country last year) so good, 1 will start this year and 2 or 3 others will see significant time this year along side the best WR in the country... and the best defense in the PAC 12.

A-Rod... didn't have that.


Kline at this point is by far the best QB on the Cal football team as a true freshman.

I just wish Tedfraud would pull a "Cheaty Petey" and start him this year as a true freshman, but Tedfraud can't get out of his own way to save his life.


A-Rod never had the best WR's or the best defense behind him... and he beat U$C once and should have beat him twice.

A-Rod didn’t attend college, you cum-drunk man-pleaser. He signed with the Seattle Mariners right out of high school.

[M2]

Looks like the "Goober-bot" got lost... and can't find it's way to CDS.


Oh well,



Saw A-Rod on the PAC 12 Network last night. In talking about Cal, he said... "The coolest thing about Cal is that it's the envy of all the other schools in the PAC 12."


and Mr. Rodgers is right.

[Van]

No, it wasn't. Not even close.

so good, 1 will start this year and 2 or 3 others will see significant time this year along side the best WR in the country...

When did Marqise Lee transfer to Cal? Or did Robert Woods?

and the best defense in the PAC 12.

If you seriously think USC's defense with all that young, experienced talent won't blow right by Cal's, you simply haven't been paying attention.

A-Rod... didn't have that.

Neither will Klein, so there you go.

Kline at this point is by far the best QB on the Cal football team as a true freshman.

Which speaks to Cal's overall level of talent rather than necessarily anything particularly amazing about Klein.

I just wish Tedfraud would pull a "Cheaty Petey" and start him this year as a true freshman, but Tedfraud can't get out of his own way to save his life.

We'll see whether Klein wins a Heisman on his way to becoming the #1 pick in the draft, as may well be the case with USC's lone QB ever to start as a true freshman.

A-Rod never had the best WR's or the best defense behind him... and he beat U$C once and should have beat him twice.

He still never won shit, including a decent bowl game. Klein won't either, not unless he transfers.

Aaron Rodgers is not "A-Rod", just like LaDanian Tomlinson is not "LT". He's a good quarterback, but we had to sit him on the bench for three years to drain the Kal out of him.

[M2]

God: Van, the sky is blue.

Van: No, it isn't... not by a long shot.




and there's a Van post in a nutshell.

[Van]

When the sky is gray, you bet your ass I'll tell you it's not blue.

Now, let's examine a typical M2 post...

"The top <fill in the blank> class is 'Golden'! Everyone wants to be a Cal Bear!"

~news comes over the wire describing how Cal did not in fact land even a Top Ten class of anything~

~four months roll by~

"The top <fill in the blank> class is 'Golden'! Everyone wants to be a Cal Bear!"

"But M2, what about the fact that all those guys either ended up going elsewhere, or they just ended up sucking like sucky suck at Cal?"

"Check out these picks of our stadium! Woohooo! Everyone wants to be 'Golden'!

...too funny."

[Dinsdale]

"The coolest thing about Cal is that it's the envy of all the other schools in the PAC 12."

Nothing like an empty trophy case to inspire jealousy.

And Utah will have the best defense in the PAC... probably by a good margin.

[Van]

Maybe Rodgers was referring to Cal's academics?

Wait. Nope. Stanford at a minimum has Cal beat there.

The hottest women?



Best facilities?



Fullest trophy case?



Hmmmm. I don't know. Perhaps Aaron Rodgers is simply afflicted with the same sort of over-the-top myopia as M2 or SECBSH.

Yeah, I think that's probably it.

[Left Seater]

Poor m2 fails again.

Reading comp isn't your strong point so my bad assuming that you could follow along. In the future I will include extra words so you don't have to worry about following along.

The discussion was about your home schedule, not your overall schedule. USC and OSU mean nothing to your home schedule.

And why doesn't it surprise me at all that m2 would know nothing about PAC 12 agreements. You aren't playing on Friday due to "scheduling", you are playing on Friday because you agreed to do so. You will also play a Friday home game in either 2014 or 2015.

Blaming the stadium renovation for your FCS opponents is laughable.

[M2]

Nothing like an empty trophy case to inspire jealousy.

What I think you're trying to say is... 5 Trophies .

http://www.calbears.com/trads/cal-nat-champs.html

How many do the floats have again ?

And Utah will have the best defense in the PAC... probably by a good margin.

I laughed.

You mean the same Utah team that allowed "Maynard" to put up 35 or a hundred on last year ?


Cal's been the best defense in the PAC the last 2 years and nothing is going to change. In fact, this years defense will be much better than the last two years.

[Dinsdale]

What I think you're trying to say is... 5 Trophies .

http://www.calbears.com/trads/cal-nat-champs.html

How many do the floats have again ?

So Aaron Rodgers thinks trophies won before the kids' great grandfathers were born is cause for jealousy?


BTW -- there's only one team in the country with a current string of 3 consecutive BCS appearances. Take a big ol guess which one?

You're simply an idiot.

The discussion was about your home schedule, not your overall schedule.

You said, that Oregon would win easily at Cal this year (home schedule) and I pointed out to you that Oregon has lost their last 3 out of 4 games they played at California Memorial Stadium... and the 1 win they had they barely won (Cal held Oregon's high octane offense) to just 1 offensive TD in that game.


No team in the country has done that... for what ...4 or 5 years ???










Let's look at a little more of your brilliance... shall we ???


Of course, you were pounded so hard you never came back to respond in the thread. You know, facts and stuff kinda made Lefty run and hide.

I heard good ole' Lame Kiffin is up to his old tricks and told one of the U$C players that he no longer had a scholarship due to possibly poaching one of PSU's players so they could make room for him.


Just pathetic.

Sums up your posts quite well.


Leave it to m2 to not know what he is talking about, yet again. Any player that transfers from PSU to play elsewhere this season will not have his scholarship count against his new team.

and "the truth" replied...

Leave it to m2 to not know what he is talking about, yet again.

Really ?

This is becoming rather tedious. With me having to continually correct you on things you have no idea about, but constantly open your mouth about .

Any player that transfers from PSU to play elsewhere this season will not have his scholarship count against his new team.

Not teams who are on sanctions. They have to adhere to their current allotment.

Please try and keep up... 'College Football' rules guy.

[M2]

Wait just a damn minute. Goobs says that 1937 Bears (Cal's last CFB NC) team was tough as shit.

Ummm... that would be me. And it was the 20's when Goober became a grandfather and you had your first kid.


The Wonder Teams

The 1920s saw the first golden age of California football, as the Golden Bears went 50 straight games without a defeat from 1920 to 1925, with a record of 46 wins and 4 ties. As of 2010, this is the 3rd longest unbeaten (not to be confused with winning) streak in NCAA history. The 1920-1924 squads were so dominant that they were nicknamed "The Wonder Teams," and were coached by Andy Smith.

In the first half of the 1920s, the University of California at Berkeley was the home to a football dynasty that some purists say is the greatest team of all-time. They were called the Wonder Teams.

The 1930 Big Game at Memorial Stadium

[M2]

Funny you mention that... I just happen to have a clip of that game (not that I've been waiting for the right moment to bust it out or anything)







By the way... nice old pick of "The Bear".


Lots of Bears up in this thread.

[Van]

That must be a recent change then, because it wasn't very long ago that USC was #1 all-time in combined men's and women's NCAA titles.

In any case, though, we know we're only talking football here, not women's golf.

[M2]

You honestly think that wooden bench shit hole in Oakland is more historic than the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum? How many Olympic games has Cals stadium hosted?

You're an idiot.


Let me help you out a bit.... shall I ???


National Register of Historic Places

California Memorial Stadium


Do you see "The Mausoleum" in Watts on the list anywhere ??? Shit for brains.

It is not more beautiful that the Los Angeles Coliseum either.

Cal's stadium is maybe the third most historic stadium in the Pac 12, possibly the 4th with all of the Super Bowls hosted at Sun Devil Stadium

Unreal

[Van]

M2 just got ruined by schmick.

Yep, this is a great forum.

[M2]

Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum is registered as a National Historic Landmark, has been since 1984.... your little stadium up there was named a historic place, not a landmark, in 2006.

You really are this stupid.


Unreal

[Laxplayer]

Don't confuse Mstool with facts.....

Hey bitch what about our bet?
You're a cunt. Throw out a claim, have someone call you out on it and you duck and cover every time I bring it up. CUNT.

[M2]

An excellent episode of College Footballs' "Hard Knocks".

Also includes Cal's first practice back in California Memorial Stadium...
