We Won? We Won!
I was in an airport in Buffalo, saw Air Force 21 Cal 7 flash on the ESPNNews TV, and thought “Oh, no, not again”. I just decided it was best to memory wipe this season and snore next to some fat lady in Crocs for the flight, hoping to meditate the suffering away.
Then after I got off my plane in Baltimore and was driving to Dulles, I caught the last few minutes of the game and heard 42-30 on the scoreboard and thought, “Oh, at least we made it respectable.” Then I realized it was the BEARS with the lead, and even though they hadn’t mentioned it, I knew what it meant:
Riley. The future is now.
Oh blast you Cal football, everytime I try to get out you pull me back in.
Well…I wish I could say insightful things about this game. Except I haven’t watched a second of it. Maybe when I find someone with a tape. But it’s always nice to finish things on the upside. I know this is kind of a whimper way to end my coverage of Cal’s season, but I’ll make it up in the offtime.
Happy New Year Golden Bears!

Can you bring back the videos? I really enjoyed the “get your duck!” video. It was slightly mean though, so I suppose…more videos but perhaps tone down the meanness! yay!

Wow, you’re right, I forgot about all of those. But how do I make fun of the Air Force without getting into trouble?

In my opinion, Kevin Riley is the MVP of not only the Armed Forces Bowl but of the entire football post-season thus far. He turned his team around from being down 21 at the start of the second quarter to winning by 6 at the end of the game.
Sure, it helped that DeSean and Jordan came in at the same time to help on offense, but Riley played with incredible confidence and did everything he needed to do. And I mean EVERYTHING. 16-for-19. Hell of a game.

Watched the replay last night. Was totally blown away. He’ll merit consideration for sure.
