Sorry for the lack of updates. Actually, I’m not sorry because it really isn’t my fault, as there has been no new Cal football updates to report. I could have done a writeup on Cal’s production on 2nd and +3 yard situations on grass versus turf in the month of October on leap years, but I got lazy.
Still, there isn’t much out there yet, but expect some news to pick up with spring practice resuming this week. Until it picks right back up, enjoy these tidbits for now:
The SF Chronicle has a nice interview up with Cal’s Athletic Director Sandy Barbour, who I’ve said on numerous occasions is the man. *Note that I said THE man, not a man. We love you Sandy. Barbour discusses Cal’s facility and stadium upgrade situation.
Ted Miller continues to countdown the 30 best players in the Pac-10, and so far, the only player on the list is Tyson Alualu at 26. That’s fine and dandy and all, but I’m banking on Mr. Miller coming through and notching in at least 3 Cal players in the remaining 11. Best and Thompson for sure, and a wildcard in the final spot. Anger, Hagan, Mohammed, I don’t care as long as we get some solid shoutouts.
Former Cal DB Nnamdi Asomugha (pronounced AWESOME-WAH), is the league’s best and richest DB, and a class act all around. Enough said. Check out a story on him here.
Dennis Dodd from CBS Sports has Cal ranked #18 in the preseason which is about in line where a lot of media pundits have us pegged. I’m thinking the final preseason number will fall in the #15-#19 range, depending on how much Heisman hype Best receives, and how much hype Oregon continues to receive as a Top 10 team.

This year's Cal vs. Oregon game has the potential to be everything the 2007 contest was, hype wise. If both teams take care of business in the non-conference schedule they'll both be undefeated and in the top-10. It'll likely be a Game Day worthy game.
Let's just hope the outcome is the same and the post-script is entirely different.
Agreed. Oregon will be a near lock to enter into the contest as a Top 10 team if (and a big if) they can beat Boise St., Utah, and Purdue.
It may be a bit more of a stretch for Cal to be a Top 10, even if they're 3-0 going into Eugene, but it should still be a game of the week type of event.
I just wet my pants a little.
