Rolling Into the Bye Week (Cal-Oregon Recap)

First of all, I can’t be happier that the bye week is here. As much as I enjoy watching Cal football, our team is so battered that we need all the time we can get to get things back into working order. It’ll also help smooth the transition before Homecoming (buy your tickets!) and prevent […]

Un-beee-lievable

I’ll write up more later tonight when I’ve come down from the euphoria rush…but I’ll just say this: It feels so good to win.

Watch Cal-Oregon Online

I cannot be certain this will work (99% sure), but in case you don’t own a TV, or don’t know people who own a TV, or feel that you should study instead of watch this game, are travelling abroad or live outside regional areas and lack the energy to find a sports bar, or are […]

The More Things Change… (Cal-Oregon Soliloquy)

[youtube rAZfNzIeKdM] The Bears are 4-0, right? From the way people have acted this week, it’s hard to tell. Because we gave up two garbage time TDs to Colorado State, had perhaps the first “unimpressive thirty point victory” in the history of college football at home against Tech, and cruise controlled for nearly 35 minutes […]

Duck Hunting (A Look into Oregon)

The fans in Eugene are more pumped than usual, and why shouldn’t they be? Revenge game, Autzen homefield, a powerful offense that has slaughtered their opponents the last several weeks, including a dominating beatdown in the Big House. Hell, even their mascot looks pumped up, although I keep on thinking he’ll leer down towards the […]

The Bears Are Roaring…Into Eugene (Cal-Oregon Blog Previews)

For the first time since Tennessee, all of the big Cal football bloggers are out in force. The moods in this particular sphere range from twitching anxiety to almost delusional hubris. As I said before the game, I’m eerily calm–although I’m sure I’ll be a complete wreck by gametime. But before I get to them, […]

Ask the Readers: Most Glorious Victory in Tedford Era

[youtube R_fShwQlANc] [youtube Yh9qExf_uM0] [youtube u2QnI550S7s] After vengeance for our greatest defeats (Tennessee and Arizona), with fans turning into bundles of nerves before Oregon, it’s time to pay attention to our biggest victories. Let’s calm down now everyone? It might not have been terribly impressive, but it’s not as if we’re winning squeakers–three wins were […]

Most Painful Cal Football Memories

A week has come and gone and the Bears have had their revenge. Now that redemption is ours, let’s start to look forward and release all the bad memories you and I dwelled on last week. Here are some of the worst ones that Cal fans have had to suffer through (courtesy of fans in […]

The Bears Are Roaring (Blog Reactions to Arizona)

Jason Snell, Excuse Me For My Voice: “I also didn’t like Mike Stoops very much. He lost it a few times on the sidelines, which didn’t impress me. I really appreciated his playcalling in last year’s Cal-Arizona game, where he boldly went for it on every occasion because he knew he couldn’t win otherwise. And […]

Bear Up (Cal-Arizona Recap)

A few things to say about this game before I turn it over to the people who know things about football. –One dominating quarter was all Cal really needed before they started cruise controlling for Oregon. Rather strange that the Bears took the pedal off the break that early–they played average ho-hum ball through the […]
