Forgot that we were sitting in front of the Pac-12 network talking heads that included none other than Shane Vereen. We got his attention at halftime and right before the end of the game and he pointed at us so he definitely heard us. He led us in a rousing round of "Roll on you Bears!" before the final gun sounded.

Each novel is a bittersweet reminder of your countdown. I'm so happy that this chapter was such an enjoyable triumph.

I think Musgrave might have had a little fun out there.

I really think chase comes back. He’s a very very good college QB but I’m not sure how much nfl buzz he’ll generate. Another year to get better and also make some NIL money, doesn’t seem like a bad gig.

He’s gotten so much better, no denying that. Don’t get me wrong, would love to see him dominate in the nfl, just after he brings us a rose bowl.

Give me one guess, Troy Taylor?

Same. Unless we all finally realize our dream of Ron Rivera leaving the NFL to bring us a rose bowl.

It's honestly more fun when guys exceed expectations. That's a credit to the program, and they have some guys I definitely didn't expect to be in the position they are (or are earlier on in the cycle than anticipated). Saunders I did anticipate as a contributor though, haha.

Sterdick's high school numbers were "like something out of a video game" (SI). I'm really looking forward to him dominating at Cal.

That would be great.. a player that everyone overlooked, would be a great story!
