UCLA OTRH Podcast
(Written by kencraw)
Sorry this is so late (catch a re-occurring theme here?) with the OTRH podcast. While it was recorded right after the game, the trip to Disneyland and the ensuing backup at work when I returned had me scrambling to find time to edit it all together. But it’s done before the WSU game, so I’m not THAT late.
Here are the list of quotes at the end of the podcast from Tedford and Riley:
Tedford on Kevin Riley’s performance
Tedford on the pros to take away from the game
Tedford on rotating players for the heat
Tedford on SydQuan Thompson’s injury
Tedford on getting the win in LA
Tedford on message given to players at the start of the 4th quarter
Tedford on Shane Vereen’s performance
Tedford on 1st drive going for a touchdown
Tedford on Tavecchio’s performance
Tedford on having two 100 yard rushers in the game
Tedford on his ice bath at the end of the game
Tedford on comparing Best and Vereen to previous Cal tandems
Riley on his performance
Riley on the feeling of throwing his 1st TD in over 3 games
Riley on the 1st drive of the game
Riley on confidence gained from early success
Riley on his block downfield on Best’s TD run
Riley on Marvin Jones making the TD catches
Riley on team attitude now
Riley on why the team was successful today
Riley on heat
Riley on player rotations

I gotta say… this was one of your best post-game podcasts ever. I know b/c of the release date some of your injury comments are dated, but I realize you were still in LA, at the time of recording.
“High-throw-itis”… LOL.
Agree with the, “bend but don’t break,” with the lead. It was the smart move. Commentary on Vereen, defense and Anger was spot on. Great analysis on the kicking situation… couldn’t see that during the TV broadcast.
Best on-the-road podcast yet. Really good commentary. BRAVO.

Thanks Danzig. Perhaps it’s easier to podcast on the road at 15 mph in traffic in LA than it is at 70 mph through Vacaville.
I thought of doing an outtake from this one because there are about 4 times when I talk to the idiot LA drivers in between Cal Bear thoughts.
Thanks again. Always good to get nice feedback.

BTW Danzig, your “Bears in the Pros” videos might just be the most important thing any of us Bear fans are doing for recruiting. If I was a Cal coach I’d be showing those to every recruit who comes through the door. “See what our players do at the next level?”

RE: Bears in the Pros – It’s, by far, the most time-consuming thing ieeeBear, TouchedTheAxe and I do, but it’s what we – as fans – want to see. If it helps in recruiting too… then all the better.
