Live Blogging: California Golden Bears @ ASU Sun Devils, 12:35 PM
From my view in the press box on this fine Arizona Saturday in October, I see a very thin crowd. The student section is half full with 17 minutes before kickoff, and the upper bowl has at most a thousand people.
I honestly hope that the crowd improves, but I would not be surprised to see the fan base using their lack of attendance as a way to show their disapproval of Dennis Erickson's current coaching practices.
We are playing the #24 California Golden Bears (5-2, 2-2 Pac-10), whose only losses have come against two Top 10 teams (#5 USC and #10 Oregon). To beat Jahvid Best and the Bears, we will need to play competitive football, something we have rarely done these past 5 weeks.
This is the live thread. Please join in, House Of Sparky friends!

We will need good defense and a capable running game to even keep this game close.

Cal is coming together as a team to get ready for the game, while our boys are disjointed. We are kicking off.

Interesting kickoff by Weber bounces over Vereen’s head and he is downed at the 15 yard line.

Not enough to make up for the team’s lack of tenacity, I doubt. But either way, COME ON DEVILS! STOP BEST!

My ONLY theory at this point is that he wants to give Steven Threet the job next year without there being any controversy. But for now, it’s murdering the fan base.

Fun Fact
Samson just hit Jovon Williams for a TD on his first career pass attempt. It was also Williams’ first career TD reception, and Samson’s first TD.
