Cal Bears fans rejoice!  We're relaunching our Cal blog.  The new blog is going to be called California Golden Blogs and it's located here .

The blog isn't up just yet, but it will be launching very shortly.  I just got very excited because the new group of bloggers we have for this blog is finally going to really address the need for a quality Cal blog.  The Bay Area is really strong with SB Nation blogs.  Possibly the strongest area throughout the nation.  Think about it.  Grant writes for McCovey Chronicles and is possibly the best writer in the entire network.  I can't stand the Giants and yet, I must read McCovey Chronicles because of Grant.  That's power.

Golden State of Mind  is one of the strongest communities anywhere.  They have enthusiasm and have conducted many meet ups with their readers, one of which had more than 800 readers at one place at one time.   Oh and the writing is brilliant too.

Niners Nation  also features great writing from Fooch and Silver and Black Pride features the musings of the very popular saint here on AN.

There's also the San Jose Sharks blog Fear the Fin , which is really making some excellent strides.  It's too bad the Sharks didn't follow.  And finally, yes, it isn't the Bay Area, but we've got a great Sacramento Kings blog in Sactown Royalty where our very own louismg contributes.

Yes folks, SB Nation is strong in Northern California.
