Jack Endries checks out the partial solar eclipse

College football coaches take pride in the fact that they are focused on football and only football, and Cal offensive coordinator Mike Bloesch gave credence to that claim on Monday.

While Golden Bears tight end Jack Endries was on the field viewing the partial solar eclipse through protective filters at around 11 a.m. on Monday, Bloesch was answering questions from the media a few feet away when he was asked this:

“Did you guys have any talk to them about how to prepare if your’re looking at the eclipse?”

To which he said:

“We did not. We did not. Is that today? I live under a rock, Man. I’m in the football office, and when I get home I’m swamped. I’ve got three kids, got a newborn baby. I don’t even know if I turned on the TV this weekend.”

Bloesch chuckled at the fact that he did not know the solar eclipse was Monday.  Meanwhile Endries was impressed by what he saw (shown in the photo atop this story).

“Yeah, it’s bright,” he said. “So it looked like a little orange, looked like about one-third of it was covered. Pretty cool. They talk about it’s once in a lifetime, but I’ve already seen three of them.”
