SAN FRANCISCO -- It’s been a busy week for Cal athletics, and we’re here to cover it all. From the Cal baseball team’s five-game winning streak to spring football practice to postseason basketball, we’ve got it all in this week’s two-part podcast from The Republic at 3213 Scott St., in the Marina District of San Francisco.

Our first hour is all about spring football, as we break down positional battles on both sides of the ball as well as the race for Cal's next starting quarterback, between Jared Goff, Austin Hinder and Zach Kline, with a side of Kyle Boehm, who’s impressed as an F receiver this week.

Who's surprised us through nine practices? Who's looking good at new positions? What new wrinkles have we seen? We talk about all that and more.

In our second hour, we break down the Cal basketball team’s surprising loss in the first game of the Pac-12 Tournament in Las Vegas, with some help from Dan Greenspan, reporting from Sin City.

We also break down the Pro Timing Day workouts of Keenan Allen, C.J. Anderson, Isi Sofele and others, as former Bears hit the gridiron once again in hopes of impressing NFL scouts.

Listen to our last podcast, with recruiting expert Brandon Huffman
