http://www.yardbarker.com/colleges/california_golden_bears/444 Recent articles about California Golden Bears en-us San Diego Chargers 3rd round draft pick Keenan Allen has already done something pretty taboo and he hasn’t even been a part of the NFL for very long.  The former California Golden Bears receiver sent out a video on Vine while he was wearing an Oakland Raiders a hat, an inner-division rival of the Chargers.  If this had been pre-draft it wouldn’t have been a big deal, but since it was post-draft, Allen has been catching a lot of flack on Twitter.  He’s deleted the video and apologized on Twitter multiple times, but some of the more irrational fans will never forgive him for this.

Tennessee took Schwenke in the fourth round with the 107th overall pick in the NFL draft. The Titans already had used their first-round pick on Alabama offensive guard Chance Warmack, taken with the 10th overall pick. They also signed guard Andy Levitre, guardcenter Rob Turner and guardcenter Chris Spencer in the free-agent market. Schwenke started 12 games at left guard in 2011 and moved to center last season. He recorded 85 knockdowns last season and finished second to Stanford tackle David Yankey in balloting for the Morris Trophy that goes to the Pac-12's top offensive lineman.

He uses his dribble well to create space for his jumper, and at 6’6, he has the size to shoot over many who will guard him.  Crabbe is excellent at moving without the ball, using screens and cuts well to create space.  I would like to Tue, 16 Apr 2013 19:16:58 -0400 http://network.yardbarker.com/college_basketball/article_external/scouting_report_allen_crabbe/13415221 http://network.yardbarker.com/college_basketball/article_external/scouting_report_allen_crabbe/13415221 Scouting Report - Allen Crabbe http://www.yardbarker.com/college_basketball/articles/scouting_report_allen_crabbe/13415221 http://www.yardbarker.com/images/yb_logo_square_grey.png On Tuesday afternoon, the California Golden Bears Athletic Department held a press conference to unveil their new football jerseys.  They will have a White, Gold, Blue and Grey set and could conceivably mix and match them to create more jersey combinations than they unveiled. Footballscoop.com reported this: “This is an exciting time for our athletic department and, frankly, for our university,” Barbour said. Changing Cal’s visual identity was an 18-month process. What took so long? According to marketing director Todd Van Horne, Nike embarked on a five-step process that included studying Cal history and interviewing athletes. “Where innovation meets inspiration,” he said. Van Horne described the number fonts as “bold like a bear, sharp like a claw.” “Brand is an essence, it’s a promise of what will be delievered, what will be experienced,” Barbour explained. “Logos, and fonts, and design are only meaningful to the degree they represent the university.

Anthony was a three-year starter at Cal. He played in 41 games with the Golden Bears with 32 starts. Anthony is projected to be a sixth- or seventh-round pick by NFLDraftScout.com. Anthony ran a 4.59 second 40-yard dash at the NFL scouting combine. His 6.74 second 3-cone time was among the best for cornerbacks in Indianapolis this year. The 5-foot-11, 196-pound corner had two inteceptions his senior year with 7 1/2 tackles for loss and one forced fumble. Check out Anthony’s tweet below.

Crabbe announced through Cal on Wednesday that he would declare for the draft, a long-expected move by the junior guard. Crabbe, the conference freshman of the year in 2011, ranks 10th on the school's career scoring list with 1,537 points in 98 games. Cal lost to fourth-seeded Syracuse 66-60 to miss a chance at the NCAA tournament's round of 16. Crabbe was held to eight points on 3-for-9 shooting in his final game for the Golden Bears, who finished the season 21-12. He averaged 18.6 points and six rebounds per game. An honorable mention All-America selection, Crabbe's 15.7 career scoring average is 12th all-time at Cal.

When a Runnin’ Rebels player attempted to save a ball going out of bounds by wildly throwing it back into play, poor Crabbe’s crotch was directly in the line of fire. The shot to the groin immediately dropped Crabbe to the ground and millions of male college basketball fans watching the game felt the sudden urge to uncomfortably squirm. Sweet sassy molassey. Regardless of Crabbe’s pain threshold — unless he happens to possess the testicular fortitude of the masochist who goes by the moniker “King of Nutshots” — that is something he undoubtedly feeling on Friday. Ouch. Thankfully for Mr. Allen Crabbe, he is at least able to savor Cal’s 64-61 win over UNLV. While he’s sitting on a bag of ice. Yeesh. Oh, and the obligatory “Simpsons” reference. It’s old and so played, but I just can’t help myself.

Buoyed by the crowd support of a strong contingent so close to Berkeley, the Golden Bears (21-11) held the Runnin' Rebels (25-10) without a basket for more than 11 minutes in the second half. Cal turned a tie game into a nine-point lead during that stretch and withstood a late UNLV push for its first tournament win since 2009. The Rebels rallied to within a point in the final seconds before missed free throws and a costly inbounds pass sealed the loss. Bryce Dejean-Jones scored 15 points and Anthony Bennett shook off a poor start to finish with 15 points and 11 rebounds for UNLV, which beat Cal 76-75 in Berkeley on Dec. 9.

However, the comeback was overshadowed by an incident that featured California head coach Mike Montgomery shoving one of his players. During a time-out at the 16:31 mark, Montgomery got into a confrontation with star Allen Crabbe which boiled over into Mike giving Allen a two-handed shove: Ultimately, the shove might have been overblown and both Crabbe and Montgomery after the game seemed to be back on the same page: “It was coach’s way of motivating me,” Crabbe said, according to Ryan Gorcey of Cal’s Scout.com site. “Everything’s fine. It’s under the bridge. No hard feelings.” “I have great passion for this game and tonight, I let my emotions get away from me in the heat of the moment.

During a big Pac 12 win over USC on Sunday night, Montgomery was not pleased with his team’s effort as they were down at one point by 15 in the second half. During a timeout in the second half, Montgomery became very frustrated with junior guard Allen Crabbe, and let him know when he gave him a two-handed shove to the chest. Montgomery said he was trying to get Crabbe’s head in the game, but many pundits thought the physical contact was over the line. Mike Montgomery tried to explain why he gave Crabbe the shove. “He had no expression,” Montgomery told reporters after the game. “Mentally, he just needed a wakeup call.” Crabbe was extremely upset by the shove, and had to be calmed down in the back corridor of the arena by a few of his teammates. Crabbe would eventually score 10 points during the games final minutes to help the Golden Bears win th Mon, 18 Feb 2013 13:35:33 -0500 http://network.yardbarker.com/college_basketball/article_external/cal_coach_mike_montgomery_shoves_g_allen_crabbe_video/12941512 http://network.yardbarker.com/college_basketball/article_external/cal_coach_mike_montgomery_shoves_g_allen_crabbe_video/12941512 Cal Coach Mike Montgomery Shoves G Allen Crabbe (Video) http://www.yardbarker.com/college_basketball/articles/cal_coach_mike_montgomery_shoves_g_allen_crabbe_video/12941512 http://www.yardbarker.com/media/e/5/e53e5e876abd3a59ddcfb4519e59b565ec60e0b5/mini/6923788.jpg California was down 12 to USC last night with 16:19 to go in the game. Coach Mike Montgomery wasn’t happy with how his star guard Allen Crabbe was playing so he gave him a little shove during a time out.  Crabbe had to take a little breather so he wouldn't knock out his coach for the little Bobby Knight style shove.  He later returned to the game and scored 10 points in the final 4:20 of the game to spark a comeback win over the Trojans.  Check out the video below.

Pasternack appeared to kick Gutierrez as he jumped into the Arizona bench area while trying to retrieve a loose ball with 4:45 remaining in Arizonas 78-74 victory in Berkeley. As Gutierrez returned to the court, he immediately pointed at Pasternack and had to be held back by Cal teammates. I would like to clarify that my actions (Thursday) night were a reflex in response to a player falling on top of me while running at top speed toward our bench. Prior to my arrival at Arizona and as a former head coach and assistant coach for eight season at the University of California, I have great respect for the Pac-12 Conference, the Cal program and Jorge Gutierrez and the competitiveness he brings to the court, Pasternacks statement read. In no way was I deliberately attempting to engage him. My hope is that this statement will clear up any misconceptions about the incident and that we can move on in a positive fashion. No foul was called on the play, although both Arizona coach Sean Miller and Cal coach Mike Montgomery talked to Gutierrez after the incident. Gutierrez was not made available after the game, but Cal forward Harper Kamp told the Arizona Daily Star that Gutierrez believed the kick was deliberate. Gutierrez "felt Coach P said something and extended his leg and tried to kick him. Something like that. I know they are both passionate guys," said Kamp, who attended Mesa Mountain View. Pasternack, in his first season at Arizona, was the head at New Orleans from 2007-11 after serving the previous six years as an assistant coach at Cal. Gutierrez, from Chihuahua, Mexico by way of Las Vegas (Nev.) Findlay Prep, did not cross paths with Pasternack at Cal, signing with the Bears in May, 2008. Gutierrez, a 6-foot-3 senior and top candidate for Pac-12 player of the year, had 18 points, six rebounds and three assists Thursday. It was Cals first home loss of the season and dropped the Bears into second place in the Pac-12.
