Although Coach Tedford will certainly make the final call on the Longshore vs Riley competition, there is sure to be a lot of input from new OC and QB coach Frank Cignetti who will be viewing the situation from a an unbiased viewpoint. Also receivers coach Kevin Daft (last years QB coach)will be watching the contest closely. If these two both push strongly for Riley it’s going to be pretty hard for Tedford to go with Longshore, especially in view of last year’s performance (Longshore’s).
If Nate does begin the season as the starter I would imagine he will be on a pretty short leash, as Riley proved last year that he could both start and relieve on short notice.
The QB competition, along with the all the new receivers and the opportunities for Deboskie, Slocum, and Vereen will certainly make for an interesting Spring Practice.

Hey Very Blue,
Your point is well taken, but can we give Tedford a chance to make the decision before we hand him over to the tree people? Unless you have a powerful listening devise, and can present unedited Tedford to support your point, Riley is a super hybrid of Ayoob and big-heart Levy. Take it from a molecular biologist hybrids are always better than the combination of their parts.

GO YOU BEARS!

Craig Stevens…I did like him, but it seemed like he dropped a lot of balls last year. Maybe it’s just me…

Cal, somebody has to be listed No. 1. It wouldn’t make sense to list Riley over Longshore since Longshore is the returning starter with more experience. But that doesn’t mean Longshore has an edge. It’s a depth chart. Somebody is going to be No. 1 and somebody is going to be No. 2. Given the choice, Longshore makes sense, for now.

The secret of being a Bear football fan/Cal alum is to simply expect the worst and have a certaintude that what APPEARS to be promising actually isn’t. Perhaps the worst thing that Tedford has done to us is to cause us to forget that in his first 2 years. (The second worst thing is validating that idiot Amy with Ayoob & Longshore 2.0). Longshore vs Riley? Tedford’s gonna make the wrong choice & we’re going to get humiliated…just like we have in MOST years, recently. See, it’s an EASY thing to conceptualize and it *does* take the stress out of the issue. Of course, we also have to ask ourselves why we need the 2nd highest paid coach in the conference to make this wrong choice, but I guess that’s another issue. And no,I’m not an $C fan in disguise, just an alum who has been around a LONG time.

CCTimes Admin, where are you? Can’t you put an I.P.-block on moroniscoming, the troll of all trolls? I think most of us are doing our best to ignore moroniscoming, but we are only human and eventually someone is going to respond…and what happens then is we clog the discussions with her filth and our responses. PLEASE, JO, can you talk to the site admin about blocking this nut-case? Thank you.

My Dad told me today that his 2 friends (season ticket holders for the last 20 years) are not renewing their tickets.

That’s nice.
Maybe they can join you at UCDavis games. BTW, that list you posted to Jan shows that Cal has had 6 infractions to your beloved bandwagon team USC’s 5. Not exactly a huge difference considering NCAA looking the other way (see Reggie Bush, Jarrett, etc…)

Aren’t you supposed to be skiing or spending some time with Spitzer?
