Tosh and his two coordinators have not officially started their jobs yet, but they are already kicking ass.  Cal is currently ranked 9th nationally in portal pickups.  Doesn’t mean much this early, but it is exciting.  With Tosh we expected a jump in recruiting. Seeing it actually happen fills me with relief.  Again its early,…

The message boards are an absolute mess right now.  You have to wade through a ton of bullshit to find anything meaningful on there. The ‘Old Blues’ are excited about Tosh… As we all are… Unfortunately, they are channeling that positive energy into posting photos of their dogs and asking questions about their personal lives.…

One last “Thank you, Justin.”  Though he never had a breakthrough season, he kept the ship steady through some tumultuous years… That was not an easy task.  The Big Game loss, at least, made the decision to fire him easy. There was no… ‘Oh, did we do the right thing??”  It’s like you are 80% sure you…

I woke up on Saturday of Big Game regretting what I had written the day before.  In short, I had stated it best that Cal part ways with Head Coach Justin Wilcox… Pointing to an overall record of 48-54 over 9 seasons. His best season 8 wins. His worst season 4.  After a 5 –…

What a weird season it has been. Amazing wins. Devastating losses. Amounting to what will likely be a another forgettable 6 or 7 win season. In all, I think the coaching staff did a good job with the players available. If you think about how destitute the program was a year ago after losing a…

Donkey-Punch Save  It took a goal-line donkey-punch forced fumble to secure victory against a terrible UNC team.  UNC was inches away from taking the lead with ~5 minutes left. Cal successfully ran the clock out from there. The press asked Wilcox what emotions he felt after the play.  Visibly annoyed, he states the obvious…. we…

Field reporter, Winterer, was on ground at Alumni Stadium for Cal’s 28-24 win against BC. He interviewed Ron Rivera, who was honored to be featured in last weeks Bearly Interesting article. His dad, a lifelong BC fan, chucked a full beer against the bleachers. Narrowly Avoided Collapse Our biggest fear was realized… Cal went down…

This moment was peak. The year felt different. Hammering Cal -14. Joking but not joking about a home playoff game. So naive. Where did it go wrong? The main assumption underpinning our confidence: The transitive property failed us. We lost the trenches on both sides of the ball. We never got a push. They always…

All in all, we love a stress free win on a beautiful day in Berkeley.  The Bears got off to a slow start. With three minutes left in the first half… Cal led just 3 – 0.  This could have been a scary moment, but by that point it was clear we had exhausted their front…
