I hereby call myself out for being a boring fan. I used to think up stuff to bring to games like a big "There Is No Stanfurdium" sign. I used to find joy in losing but at least being funnier and more grounded about it than other fanbases were. I think all of us here should commit for the rest of this season to being interesting.

I hereby call myself out for being a boring fan. I used to think up stuff to bring to games like a big "There Is No Stanfurdium" sign. I used to find joy in losing but at least being funnier and more grounded about it than other fanbases were. I think all of us here should commit for the rest of this season to being interesting. No more boilerplate "we have a horrible offensive line and x and y and z need to be fired" posts; we're decrying how boring our offense is while being even more boring ourselves by posting repetitive, predictable rants. We've had them ad nauseam. Let's get creative!
Well, John, we DO have a horrible offensive line and not sure about X, Y and Z, but McClure will likely be fired, and Musgrave will be replaced…pretty much the same thing. ;-).
I actually typed this post with a really creative shirt that I had made myself. I love this t-shirt…it’s a pic I took of my older pup at Tunnel View in Yosemite, with the gorgeous sight line behind her…it’s screened onto a navy blue tshirt…awesome.
I hadn’t given much thought to Stanfurdium as an element, but if doing so results in more Cal red zone touchdowns, or keeps Ott/Sturdi/Hunter/Mavin out of the portal, then hell…sign me up.
In fact, make you a deal: I’ll make and bring a sign of your choosing to the Auburn game next September 9 if we retain all 4 of those players. You tell me what it should say (within reason) and I’ll make, bring, and walk the aisles with it v the Tigers.
So far so good. Brooks and Moore transferring out, so it’s Ott’s backfield. Hopefully he sticks. We’ll see what happens after the new OC hire & once the portal officially opens.
There is no Stanfurdium, so no need to think about it. Or in fact, who's going to transfer, because that's out of our control. As far as transfers go, what might be more interesting than guessing at the insides of our current players' heads is identifying players on other teams who are talented but wasted because they can't get playing time, are on an FCS team, etc. and so might be inclined to come to a P5 place where they can start. We almost certainly will have a bunch of incoming transfers. In any case, your proposal don't cost me nothing and will keep me following the Bears during the offseason! I'm already thinking of sign ideas...
I shouldn't have read this before bed. The terrible ideas are coming. I would suggest some brag about our intelligence like "We already solved the Saturday Times crossword" but that would take an army to hoist. Maybe just solve the puzzle and blow it up?

Cool?
How we doing so far? Been World Cup obsessed so not following the news.

I nominate Bob to come up with a list of said players who might transfer to Cal. He's an expert on FCS football.
