“Tickets to the Rose Bowl Are So Much Cheaper!”
(Post three of millions)
I mean, I’m not an alumni. I don’t know how damaging the Holmoe era was to your psyche. But seriously? Was this your thought after Cal’s most devastating loss of this decade? “Well gee, hun, New Orleans is just so far away.”
I don’t know, maybe it’s what happens when you get older–you [...]
Oh, Hey, Cal “Fans”
(Post two of millions)
SHUT THE FUCK UP.
I’m not talking about the ones who are slowly drinking themselves to unconsciousness right now (that would be me if my abdomen wasn’t collapsing on itself), or crying themselves to sleep (that would be me if this hadn’t happened to me a thousand times before), or just sitting in [...]
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 last [...]
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 you [...]
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 [...]
Oh, THIS is why USC Lost
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 reduce one [...]
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). [...]
