Football: From the press room
By Jonathan Okanes
Saturday, November 1st, 2008 at 7:25 pm in Gameday.
A couple of quick nuggets:
–Jeff Tedford said he didnt’ know the severity of Kevin Riley’s concussion. Riley told Tedford he was starting to feel better in the second half, but the team didn’t want to take the risk.
–Mike Mohamed led the Bears with 14 tackles.
–Cal’s players already were talking about Saturday’s showdown at USC. The Bears are one-half game behind the Trojans in the Pac-10 standings.
–Cal defensive coordinator Bob Gregory called it one of the best defensive performances since he’s been at Cal.
–The Bears defenders referred to themselves as a “swarm of bees” because they wore all gold Saturday.

Thank you JO for the updates.
Thank God Riley is O.K.
I agree with Bob that the D# is superb today. And, the gold jersey is still remain defeated.
Show down show down……down the trollies.

[...] in the Pac-10 Championship race, while Cal still remains one of the teams in the hunt and starts thinking about USC next week. WSU 0 Stan 58 – The Stanford Cardinal just layed a whoopin’ on Washington State. Not much [...]

Yo MoronisComing, where’s your loud moronic mouth now, huh? We’re gunning for the Trojenz this week. We may win, we may lose, but point is $C is running scared right now. Why? Because they respect Cal. Something you can never admit due to massive amounts of trauma to your brain. Sorry son but Cal is a real threat and everyone but you will admit it. Loser…

Hey Jonathan,
In your Thursday chats, it seems like there’s always a bunch of questioners who joke around with weird chat names. Their questions can be kind of goofy. Do you find it funny and a good thing? Or are they more annoying to you as a consummate professional?

Thanks Jan- I used the link you posted, but got the ‘unable to open’ error message. The link to his page works fine though.

Yes, please vote for Mack. The link to Alex’s page works and he is currently 5th. Go Mack and go Bears!

I failed to mention that you can vote everyday. Put the link on your favorites and help the Mack, Cal and PAC-10 gain some recogntion. Mack has been stuck at 7%, but he just moved up to 8%! So, keep on voting Cal fans!
Go Bears!

Why does Mack use a Lollipop snap to Longshore instead of a line drive type. The Lollipop variety leads to a rhythm disruption.

One thing I see what JT need to do is to mix up some action play. Yesterday’s game or all the games before lacked of action play. The runs were so predictable and got nail right on. Don’t expect that the bear can run down hill death on the middle and can get away.
Try something totally new for the SC game, I hope. Like the flicker on the UCLA game executed beautifully to the end zone.
Go Bears! I love to see an up set. beat $C.
