The Cal baseball team felled yet another ranked team tonight in the San Diego Invitational, defeating No. 22 San Diego State 5-3. That makes two wins over ranked teams this weekend, and one heartbreaker two-run loss to No. 5 Missouri.

Overall, this has been a huge weekend so far for the Bears. They definitely have made some noise during the first tournament weekend of the collegiate baseball season. It wouldn’t be surprising in the least if Cal (5-1-1) is ranked in next week’s Baseball America Top 25. (Click here to read more…)

It’s March 1. You know what that means? It’s almost time for Spring Ball.

The Cal football team has much to prove. Much to prove. I think Jeff Tedford has much to prove next year. Especially considering the fact that the Bears’ most recent recruiting class isn’t as star-studded or as eye-opening as it was in the past.

And no one should forget that monumental collapse that Cal suffered at the end of last season. An Armed Forces Bowl win over a so-so non-BCS team led by a young, exciting quarterback shouldn’t give Bears fans rose-colored glasses (in more than one sense of the word, if you get my drift).
