Cal is Michigan is Cal
I don’t think Cal fans ever have to worry about Tedford leaving, regardless of the Monday Morning QB chatter. As far as I can tell, this might as well already be the Ann Arbor of the West. Plenty of hippie chatter, good public education, inferiority complex to football factory schools, unseasonably bizarro weather, etc. etc.
Not to mention the not-too-subtle uniform changes.
I don’t think anyone has to worry about Tedford is going. Without anyone noticing, identities have converged. In little over six years, we’ve become Wolverines in all but name. Let’s hope he doesn’t merge into Lloyd Carr.

For the record, the yellow jersey is a knockoff that M has never worn on the field.

Tedford as Schembechler certainly would be preferable to Tedford as Carr (with Pete Carroll playing the role of Woody Hayes).
I certainly hope Cal football can live up to the comparison (Carr, Schembechler, or otherwise) in the years ahead. Just as long as we remain Blue and GOLD, because "maize" isn't a color; it's cattle feed.

Just an fyi that, for all the grief he has received in recent years, Carr did something Bo never did - win a national championship.
As an aside, I do recall when I was an undergrad at Michigan (mid-90's) that UM was purportedly the second most liberal campus in the nation, behind only (you guessed it) Cal.

So a coach that finished his career at 122wins to 40 loses is NOT someone you would want Tedord(50-26) to mentor?
Go Blue

Hey Brian,
Yeah I don't remember them wearing that ever. But when I saw that jersey I was thinking, "Hmm this garish color scheme looks familiar."
Georgia blue/Go Blue,
When I say become Lloyd Carr, I mean "later in his life/stubborn as can be" Carr who got Tresseled every year, not the younger feistier Carr who stomped over the entire Big 10. Tedford has a slight streak of stubbornness in his playcalling.
Actually, I'm not sure I want him to become like Bo either, who got to the Rose Bowl plenty but barely won there.

For the record, Maize is a color- it's defined as an arrogant shade of yellow.

I'm calling you out on your "Cal is Michigan" rant. Thanks for the extra incentive. We HATE Michigan, and the unis will only inspire. We hope they mimic Yellow Belly yellow and Piss Water Blue so we can tune up for our real contest vs the hated scUMbags later in the year.
Bring on the jerseys. Here's to kickin' your tails!

I don't care about colors, or any similarities, i just know that MSU will beat both of you at your own stadiums. Michigan, new coach, no qb. Cal, no Jackson. Hate me all you want, but save your breath. Although, you'll both be doing that a lot when we upset the both of you.
Go Green.............................Go White

I have to say, I hope Tedford becomes Lloyd Carr. 5 Big Ten titles, one National Championship, 6 10+ win seasons....I'll take him over Tedford any day.

Don't worry about MichHater...Lil bro follows UM around wherever we go, ever hoping to take the crown, always the bridesmaid, never the bride.

Have to love the rogue Michigan State fan popping in just to have his opinion summarily dismissed as irrelevant.

Will those Cal unis also be available at WalMart? The scUM fans could get confused.
