Well, I’m back to my bad habit of taking almost a week to get up my post-game podcast. I’ll try to get back on track this Sunday with another prompt one after the UCLA game. In any case, here’s the Arizona addition, recorded on the LONG trip home from Tuscon (don’t worry, the podcast isn’t as long as the trip).

As with all of the podcasts over there, they’re all non-subscription articles and free to all.

As an FYI, I’m still working on putting together my On The Road Home podcast from the Arizona game. It’ll have audio quotes from the coaches and players as well as my normal commentary. I’ll go up tomorrow morning.

My weekly press-conference/practice podcast is now posted over at BearTerritory.net:

This continues to be a free feature over at BT so go have a listen.

My BearTerritory.net podcast for the bye week is posted over there:

It’s a free podcast, even though it’s posted on BearTerritory, so have a listen.

I know, I know. You must all be falling over with heart attacks. It’s only Monday. Ken doesn’t post his ridiculously late podcast until at least Thursday. But today is a new day!

Have a listen to my post-game thoughts on Nate vs. Kevin, our awesome defense, who looks tough in the coming weeks and much more.

It’s Friday night before a Cal game, what is the last item on everyone’s agenda to prep for the Cal game the next day? Why finish up all of their unfinished business!

OK, I know my publishing of the podcasts are getting to be just a bit tiresomely consistently late, but hey, it’s not like anyone is paying me for this. So while I do wish I was getting these published on time, I also know those stinking bookshelves are still unfinished in the garage (ARG!?!) and work is pretty busy too.

In any case, have a listen.

What would happen if you tried to do a podcast from an iPhone using a voice-recording program and a microphone intended for phone calls and not podcasting?

You’d get something loud and buzzy. You’d get this podcast, in fact.

Join Phil and Jason live-on-iPhone from Section FF in Memorial Stadium (that’s us over on the right) — and from outside a lovely Mexican restaurant in Alameda after the game — for observations on the spot about Cal’s not-remotely-exciting victory over Colorado State.

Curious? How could you not be?! Join us for eight minutes of sheer audio heaven, with special appearances by the Cal PA system and the Cal Band.

Oh, and among the things we learned: sometimes the Voice Recorder program doesn’t save properly. So our keen first-quarter observations and some of our comments from the Mexican restaurant in Alameda didn’t make it in. Yeah, we’re just as sad about it as you are.

My press-conference/Tuesday practice podcast is posted over at BearTerritory.net:

http://cal.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=854747

The podcasts don’t require a subscription, so all can go listen. There’s lots of audio of Tedford, Riley, Worrell Williams, Noris Melele and Darian Hagan as well as my commentary.

Well, this seems to be the year of the remarkably late podcast. I’m still struggling to keep in front of everything I have to do. Those desks and bookshelves that were supposed to be finished before the season started and then by Labor day and then by last weekend are STILL not done. Luckily, I’m really close. The desks are in the house and are about 30 minutes of working time from complete (waiting for some glue to dry) and the bookshelves just need to be polished and have the cabinet doors and drawers attached before they’re done. So hopefully by this coming Sunday, everything will be done and I’ll be more prompt with my podcasts and you’ll see a lot more posting around here.

In any case, I did record the podcast shortly after the Maryland game. It was just a matter of editing all of it together. Here’s a list of all the quotes after my commentary:

1. Tedford on overall performance
2. Tedford on each player doing their job
3. Tedford on traveling coast-to-coast
4. Tedford on Best’s performance
5. Tedford on Maryland’s play versus previous games

With Ken on the east coast, it’s time for the two-man podcast. Unfortunately, Ken’s the one who brings that strange seasoning called “knowledge” to the proceedings. Without which, Phil and I soldier on to discuss:

• Washington State: Small and fuzzy
• What kinds of games do you prefer to watch – taut thrillers or blowouts?
• Meet Your Opponent! Maryland Terrapins Edition.
• Phil and Jason try to identify ’80s hair metal bands
• iTunes 8’s new Genius feature and how it will fail you if you try to play a song by Ratt
• The unique likes and dislikes of Phil’s wife, Lisa
• The Maryland fight song
• Our complete lack of knowledge of anything.

All this in a delightful 23 minute podcast package. Enjoy!

Yes, that’s right. I finally am posting my Michigan State On The Road Home podcast. I know that it’s way past due and not really meaningful at this point, but hey, I recorded it after the game and I want it available for reference later.

The WSU podcast should be posted tomorrow.

My BearTerritory.net podcast has been posted over at their site:

For those wondering where my On The Road Home podcast is, it has been unfortunately delayed. I did record it on the way home, but I haven’t had time to edit it up. Usually I do my post-game podcast editing and game reviews on Sunday but I was busy trying to finish my bookshelves and desks (don’t ask about the status, please 🙁 ) and I haven’t been able to find the time during the week. Hopefully I can get it posted today. At the very latest, it’ll happen Saturday morning from a hotel in Spokane before I drive up to Pullman.

Once again, our podcast features three guys talking about Cal football for 35 minutes.

Topics this time:
* The Michigan State game, from the stadium and on the TV
* Quarterback Controversies
* Washington State preview
* Bemoaning the rise of Comcast SportsNet West, unless you live in Sacramento like Ken, in which case it’s just fine.

My podcast from Tuesday’s practice and press conference is posted over at BearTerritory.net:

http://cal.rivals.com//content.asp?CID=843609

It’s got audio quotes from Tedford, Riley, Follett, Williams and young WR Marvin Jones.

We’re back with another three-man podcast featuring Ken Crawford, Jason Snell, and Philip Michaels.

Among our topics:

• How little we know about Michigan State
• Observations from spring practice
• Longshore and Riley
• Tedford’s failings
• Hippies, trees, and getting into Memorial Stadium
• Plans for the blog this season

And of course, we come up with the idea for a new running segment in the podcast, “What Makes Phil Cry?”

All the Cal Football you can stand — and more — in 36 minutes.

My third podcast from Fall Practice is now posted over at BearTerritory.net:

http://cal.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=842162

Discussion topics include Longshore vs. Riley and the wide receiver core.

My first two podcasts from Fall Practice are now posted over at BearTerritory.net:

You’ll notice that this is a change from the spring and last season where all the podcasts were hosted here. My podcasts from practices this year are going to be hosted from BearTerritory.net. However, the On The Road Home podcasts after each game as well as the usually mid-week group podcasts with Jason, Phil and I will still be posted here. Just an FYI.

So what if it’s 66 days (we counted) until the first Cal game of this season? That didn’t stop Ken from predicting every game and every score, and it doesn’t stop us from yammering on and on about the forthcoming season — as well as the recent Stadium project court ruling — in this three-man Excuse Me for My Voice podcast.

In this episode, Ken Crawford, Jason Snell, and Philip Michaels sit in a room and figure out how to do a podcast together. The good news: We figured it out. The bad news: We recorded a whole podcast before we figured it out. Enjoy!
