Cal Football Announces Times for the Early Slate of Games
"Time Marches On, And The Age Of A New King Draws Nearer..."
Cal announces the first slate of kick off times for the first 5 games as well as where you can find them on the TV if you’re unable to come home and watch them at our holy cathedral: California Memorial Stadium.
Note that the times are in PST so for East Coast Bears such as myself the times are even later!
vs. UCLA, 7:30pm PT/10:30pm ET on ESPN (I hope we get to wear Joe Roths)
at Syracuse, 12:30pm PT/3:30 ET on ACC Network (Back to Back P4 games will really test our squad early on)
vs. Wagner, 12:30pm PT/3:30 ET on ACC Network (his Operas are ok, I wonder if the band will play the Ride of the Valkyries)
vs. Clemson, 7:30pm PT/10:30pm ET on ESPN (Friday Night Lights, Dabo v. the Woke Mob, Absolute Cinema)
at UNLV, 12:30pm PT/3:30 ET on CBS Sports Network (Sin City, finally)
I am excited for the start of the season, are you? What games are you most looking forward to?
I'm very excited about the upcoming Cal football season, with our new coach, Tosh Lupoi, many new assistants, and a team of enthusiastic and talented players. However, I'm disappointed that so many games start at night. I'm an 80-year-old lifelong Cal football supporter and a decades-long season ticket holder, and I much prefer day games, even if they start in the late afternoon. Getting home at midnight after a night game is difficult for me. I realize we must conform to ACC scheduling priorities, television broadcast times, and the overshadowing financial concerns, but hey, wouldn’t it be wonderful to watch Cal play its longtime rival, UCLA, on a warm, sunny afternoon at Memorial Stadium? I hope the Big Game will be played in the afternoon this year, but I’ll be there no matter what time it starts. Go Bears!
Start time, shmart time…I want to see Cal push ucla up one side of the field, and down the other, scoring TDs in the red zone. Let the defense strangle ucla’s offense into many 3-and-outs. In short, punish the Bruins for being the Bruins, and set the tone for the beginning of a new era of Cal football. That’s what I’m talkin’ about.
