OK, here's the Spring Game video. Make sure you change the resolution to HD for a much better picture.

EDIT: Whoops, at first I thought the 3rd Qtr was missing, but the first video does include the 3rd Qtr. The 2nd Qtr starts at about 8:12, when the fan called the play, and the 3rd Qtr starts at the kickoff at about 16:42. The "inexplicable technical glitch" was my brain. Please note that the 2nd half went by much faster than the first half. I think they shortened the clock from 15 min. to 12 min. for the 2nd half.

And here's some pictures from outside and inside the SAHPC:

They said they just installed this. It's a mural of a every ex-Cal player who was in the NFL in 2011. They said the recruits are gonna love it:



Here's a link to the complete mural. It's my weak attempt at stitching together a panorama:

Thanks as always!

OK, here's the Spring Game video minus the 3rd quarter. Some technical glitch made it inexplicably disappear. :headbang Make sure you change the resolution to HD for a much better picture.

Nick Harris was with the Jaguars last season, not the Lions. Just saying.

Awesome. Thanks for sharing. :cheer

Great videos. Thank you for sharing.

More impressed on Kline's 2 point conversion throw than I was with the TD pass. Half of the work there was Hagan's, whereas the 2 pointer had to be right on the money.

Am I blind? Where is Djax?

Thank you TouchedTheAxe for the hard work!

My quick observations:

- OL was awful. It seemed 1/2 the shotgun snaps were too low. The only unit that worries me this year!

- Brdigford was not bad - would be much better with better snaps and protection.

- Where was Bigelow? Pretty quiet all day, except for that one KR fumble?

- The last TD was just poor coverage by the Gold Team, if they knew it was going to be a hail mary why stayed up so close?

- But overall I'm quite glad that the Offense units remained pretty competitive with the Defense units.

Thanks again TTAI82

thanks for the video. As well as the other guy who posted his in a different thread.

I think those who attended might have sunshine pumped us a bit. I know a spring game never looks great, but i wasn't all that impressed with a lot of the things people were really happy about.

Not trying to be a negabear, but ill go into more detail about it tomorrow when im not so tired.

Awesome, awesome work TouchedTheAxeIn82! As always, appreciate the effort and quality. Thanks so much for sharing.

GO BEARS!

Thanks for putting in the work so we can all enjoy. Did you hear about RUSH's new tour dates? Man, aren't they tired?

He's like two players to the right of Aaron Rodgers.

Your photo stitching skills are as good or better than the guy who Photoshoped all the players into original!

Thanks.

Will they be updating that wall every year?

Seconded. Great as always for fans like myself living far away with no chance of attending, thank you so much!

Well, we were fielding two first team OLs... and our depth is not good enough to do that. Have to say though that it was not encouraging even so.

Brdigford was not bad - would be much better with better snaps and protection.

---

He flat out didn't have a good day. Good protection isn't always there, and when it was (there was one play in particular where the RB did a great job plugging the hole picking up a blitz) and he had an easy pitch and catch to the left side that he just missed on. I though he had easily the worst day of all the QBs and they all had very spotty protection.

Quote:

---

He did have one nice run for ~12 yards where he ended up pushing the pile a bit. Did not see him get very many attempts though. I am getting the feeling we're not going to see much more than spot duty in special plays from him, particularly if he can't hold onto the ball.

While it was poor coverage it was also a very nice pass by Hinder to drop it over the top where the receiver could go get it, without overthrowing the receiver. We have seen enough of Cal QBs overthrowing that ball in recent years that the completion was a nice sight.

Agreed.

I initially reported that the 3rd Qtr was missing from my videos, but actually the first video does in fact include the 3rd Qtr. As the kids would say, "my bad."

Two guys over from Rodgers.

Hate to say it but I agree with elp - Bridg looked like the worst QB out there. At least 3 batted balls, several ill advised jump balls into coverage. His motion is noticeably slow, his arm doesn't look very live and his decision-making was bad for a guy who's been in the program this long. Boehm, Hinder and Kline all showed something.

BTW, is Forbes #11 on blue defense? He looked great - very quick and explosive.

Too bad about Bridg. I want him to succeed. But Kline, Boehm and Hinder are good kids who were highly decorated as well. Best performer, move up.
