These Cal players usually have a very long leash with Tedford, he must have done something really bad.

I am thinking that Jason Gibson steps up and takes this spot now. Lots of good things about him came out of spring ball. Thoughts?

There are many ways the LB situation could shake out. 1. Wilkerson moves back to the outside, and I assume he would start. 2. Jason Gibson takes the spot; he flashed a lot of potential during the spring. 3. Jalen Jefferson or some other underclassman (Michael Barton could push for PT as well) steps up and takes the spot. 4. Tedford makes a bonehead decision and lets Hurrell or Campo take the spot, ensuring that Cal's defense will never set the edge for the entire season. I pray for #2

Cecil had academic issues from the get-go, which is why they had to greyshirt him during his first year. Given the timing of this (directly after the spring semester), this is probably related to poor classroom performance right?

Any flat-screens "fall off the truck?" Any dime bags get tossed out of his Mustang during the chase?

"Awful10 - Anybody missing laptops? Any liquor store robberies reported?" What a racially stereotypical response. I'll bet you didn't realize that this kid grew up with a white family in Newport Beach and this kid loves to go surfing. He's a good kid, just a little on the slacker side. One of the first things he asked Tedford was if there was any surfing.

One way of looking at it. Another way of looking at it is that the don't turn the eye to team rules at Cal.

A rare problem at Cal. And the this is why I like JT, rules are rules or you're gone. Bye bye Cecil. While not a big loss in 2012 he was anticipated to be a solid player as a Jr & Sr. OT- I'll be at the preview tour of Memorial Stadium on next Wed! Taking photos and will post a link to the pics.

Countering racism with more racism. Way to win that argument USC.
