Equipment Room Gets Ready For the Bears

We are excited every day we come to work, but Thursdays during the season is when game excitement really starts! That is when we start doing specific duties that pertain to the game.

Tonight, after the players pack their bags, we will take everything over to the stadium. We will set the alarms and be ready to get to work at 8am to get each player ready for Cal


Mike Baranowski came in early today after his classes and started taping the players shoulder pads who use tape during the games. All the shoulder pads will be taped before practice starts today. We do not ever wear shoulder pads on Thursdays.

Below are some pictures of Mike taping a pair of shoulder pads:

Jordan Bates puts a cover on one of the many drains between our two fields. We cover these drains with field turf cover for a smooth transition on the field; then we take them off so water can drain while we are not practicing:

What is the purpose for taping the pads?

they tape the pads to make the jersies fit tighter to the players pad and player, it make it harder for the opposition to grad and pull the jersey
