Cal fans, which games are you planning to head to now that you know the times? Let us know, along with your general thoughts on the schedule, in the comments!
To hell with those 7:30 slots! ;-)
In a word, this schedule blows! Why so many late starts? I thought that moving to a more east coast oriented conference was supposed to get us more tv visibility? Half the country will be in bed by the time these games start and finish. The only late game that makes sense is at SDSU on September 20th. San Diego can get hotter than hell in the fall and there is ZERO shade at Snapdragon. In fact, when it opened three years ago, 500 fans had to be treated for heat exhaustion. I hope we have better luck this year in San Diego than in the past. The last Cal victory that I can recall that happened there was the 2006 Holiday Bowl.
