   I thought the Bears looked great last night. It seemed like all weekend long, most teams played a sloppy, confusing, rusty first-week malaise. Not Cal.

   They looked pretty sharp. They were focused, patient and quick.

   My immediate concern is their kick-off coverage. Still. They allowed Maryland far too many return yards. I know that Tedford addressed this in camp, but they still need to work on tightening up their coverage and completing their tackles.

   I feel far more better having seen them finally play a game. I do believe this is a special team, one that could achieve great things.

   (That said…I am a little concerned about playing Washington at the end of the season. They looked pretty good/fantastic against LSU and, probably, should have pulled off the upset. I can only imagine how well they’ll play after a season of tough competition.

   Fortunately, we’ll have them at home and we’ll have pretty much the same amount of tough competition behind us, so…

   I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see a dramatic turnaround, recordwise, for the Huskies, similar to Cal going from 1-10 in 2001 to 7-5 when Tedford took over in 2002.)

   Go Bears!

   Agreed TrumanHugh. One correction: we play UW in Washington. I agree that if they continue to look sharp all season, that could be a tough one for the Bears.

   Thanks for the correction, Ken. In my mind, I switched the two Washington schools…wishful thinking, I suppose!

   @danzig: If you click on the photos you should be taken to Flickr, where you can see bigger versions. And thanks!

   @Jason, you can see full sizes on flickr because you’re logged in as yourself. For the rest of us, full sizes have been disabled.

   Can you not see the large size? I thought anyone could see the large size. Sigh.

   Just modified it to be Creative Commons — let’s see if that does the trick.

   Thanks Jason! That did the trick.
