Jay, you will be greatly missed. Your work was more than quality journalism. It reflected a real love for the Cal community; a sentiment shared by so many Bear fans. The online sports page is a link to the Cal Family nationally and world wide. I hope your successor brings even a fraction of your passion to the column. Thank You.

Jay,

You’re as good a man as the guys you covered and just mentioned. Always a soft touch and sense of humor. Anytime I needed to read something about Cal football, I’d turn to the CC Times. Your column and blogs are going to be missed.

Best of luck.

Say it ain’t so, Jay! Jay -You leaving the Times and leaving your post as CAL beat writer is quite a blow for the coverage of CAL football as far as we are concerned. You have done a great job covering the football teams and the players over the years. I have always found your writing to be informative and accurate. I know many of the players and Coach Tedford trust you. We have known you for quite a few years now, and have had a blast joining you for dinner many times on various CAL road trips. We also think, Jay, though having graduated from Arizona, you had truly become a Bear fan these past few years. What a great time we had during the “Bear Crawl” organized by CAA before the last Holiday Bowl. I know we all think that the “grand prize” for us Bear football fans is now close at hand….too bad you will not be around to report on all of the celebrating that we hope is right around the corner.

GOOD LUCK, JAY and THANKS FOR EVERYTHING!! …GREG and SUZY OVERHOLTZER, SAN RAMON, CA.
