At Least I Wasn’t There
(Post one of millions) “What a lousy week to get sick.” I thought as my parents picked me up to take me home. My tumultuous stomach gave out on me early Saturday morning, and I realized I was not going to make it to Homecoming. I knew this was punishment for my nine-hour blogging experiment […]
Coming Home Again (Cal-Oregon State Soliloquy)
One historic month has ended. Will another one follow? Avenging Neyland and Tucson, surviving Fort Collins, conquering Autzen, growing and learning from all the mistakes–this is what the California Golden Bears accomplished this September. But October brings new challenges and new demons to exorcise. Every step to this team’s goals becomes harder and darker, and […]
Industrious Beavers (A Look Into Oregon State)
Cal fans know just about everything we want to know about our Golden Bears, but sometimes we forget to check the other side of the coin and see what’s there. And this week brings the team Tedford bizarrely struggles with the most at home. Vols, Rams, Bulldogs, Wildcats, and Ducks have all been previewed here […]
Action Jackson Preview, Week 7
There will be no liveblogs this week or for awhile, partly because it’s Homecoming Week and I’ll be out and about, partly because last Saturday’s nine hour festa threw me into such a funk I’m still trying to register my surroundings. So I’ll quickly go over this weekend’s festivities outside of Cal, and recap it […]

Who Do You Hate More, USC or Stanford?
I did notice on the Bear Insider that there was mixed joy and trepidation to the fact that Bears fans would root on Stanford, even under the amazing circumstances of Saturday night. Unsurprisingly, many of these fans came from the Holmoe era, where Stanford was consistently on top and arrogantly flaunted the Axe, and their […]
Oh, THIS is why USC Lost
[youtube J3ZM9vztKNw] Good Lord. It’s one level of douchery to steal OUR PLAY, dress up in bermuda shorts and generic blacks (are those manipulated Steelers unis?) and re-enact it to mock the losers of said play. It’s another complete level of douchery for the University of Hollywood, of pageantry and spectacle and Song Girls, to […]
Action Jackson Recap (College Football, Week 6)
So much to talk about and so much time. I know this is about 48 hours late, but I decided to get violently ill yesterday and did not regain consciousness until the wee hours of Monday morning (oh thank you, West Coast Pizza, I keep on forgetting why I quit you in the first place). […]
Ask the Readers: Biggest Remaining Challenge for Cal
USC’s loss has thrown everything out of whack. Which game will be the toughest for the Bears to win now? Is it still USC? ASU, with their fast start to the season? UCLA (we always struggle in the Rose Bowl)? A trap game perhaps (OSU or Wazzu)? The letdown after the USC hype at Husky […]
What This Weekend Meant to Cal
Very little. As much fun as the Stanford-USC game was, it hasn’t changed much about where the Golden Bears lie. The Bears were 5-0 before Saturday, they’re 5-0 afterwards. The fate of our team didn’t lie in John David Booty’s broken finger, it rests on how quickly Nate Longshore can nurse that high ankle sprain […]
