How to watch Cal v. North Texas College Football Online
The Cal v. North Texas college football game will air on ESPNU. Fans can stream ESPN from their favorite mobile device on the ESPN App, or another live TV streaming service.
Write for California will also have a live fan stream. Follow along Saturday in our live game threads and @WriteForCalLIVE on Twitter for real-time commentary, play-by-play analysis and reactions
Remember how we thought that Ross Bowers was our QB1 and then after a few plays he was hurt and Chase Garbers took over? Ross never played another game for Cal and then *flipped* from Cal to Northern Illinois. Could Ben Finley be the new Garbers or Lou Gehrig replacing Wally Pipp?
Normally at this point in a game I would turn off the TV because it's game over. But this has happened so rarely with CAL that I am going to savor every second, even with ESNU milking it with all the ridiculous commercials.
Does anyone else find it nuts that the Pac-12 is providing the most entertaining CFB, and yet the curtain is about to fall? It’s astonishing. Idiots. The networks managed to fuck up one more amazing piece of content as they feebly grasp for their waining power.
I just hope we kick the shit out of everyone in the ACC and make all these east coast jocks eat their words. They all show no respect. We have top 10 most nfl alumns. So frustrating. We have terrible PR.
We usually played down to opponent's talent level. We couldn't even put FCS teams away. So the fact that we scored 50+, even if North Texas talent is bad, is a good sign of improvement.

I was getting Nate Longshore 2005 vibes when Jackson left the game, but then our backup wasn’t Joe Ayoob so it was ok.
FYI Bob R
I am watching Ashton Hayes versus $C and cannot find any stats on him.
9 carries for 15 yards
Ashton will get a big praise from his mama
Y’all need to come to the Write for Cal Away Game Watch Party Cz the VIBES WERE IMMACULATE.
We're Immaculate, now.
Christened last year with the Immaculate Encroachment at Norte Dame.
WHAT A GREAT DAY TO BE A GOLDEN BEAR!
Go!
Bears!
G'night all. Go Bears!!
We gotta celebrate the victory. You can't go to sleep yet
YOU KNOW IT!
you tell the story!!
YOU TELL THE STORY
You tell the whole damn world
Denton is Bear Territory!
THIS IS BEAR TERRITORY!
THIS IS BEAR TERRITORY
Special Teams got a bit of homework. Will need all those missed points next week.
Wow, garbage time in our favor?
This is embarrassing, what do we do?
Do I switch to the $C game hoping Nevada comes back and upsets?
Second half shutout!
Alas, there goes the dream of #Drop60.
Perhaps in another game (that feels incredible to say)
Hopefully against USC.
In throwback Joe Roth jersey
Well, with our first team it might have been drop 90.
Next week at home
Special teams not looking incredible but it's just 1st game.
FG team needs some work
First punt was bad too
Not great, but more excusable than the first one.
No #Drop60. Sad!
Yeah ... too bad the CAL D got so worn down by the heat and all ...
Mendoza gonna get to throw! Yay!
And fumbled
Drat
Just so everyone is clear.
NT is FBS; AAC; no cupcake.
Some people suggested we stay in Pac12 and expand. Imagine being in conference with teams that many people mistake as FCS...
sun belt until this year I think. But six straight bowl games, or something like that
CUSA. Sun Belt before that.
Sun Belt, too, is FBS, right?
yes, all FBS
North TX with a whopping 17 yards in 2H.

LOL.
An embarrassment of riches.

Yeah, very depressing. Colorado with Prime and a resurgent Pac12 would have probably gotten a very good media deal.
The PAC12 is gonna be good this year.
PAC12: We're bitter and going out with a bang!
Ere the sun rises!
It really is. At least the Pac12 will go out with a bang instead of a whimper.
OSU is ranked and can't find a conference.
The lack of presumed worth is not surprising, though, when the Pac was being shown on a network no one had (especially daytime games).
Fire Larry Scott again!
Has GK entered the witness protection program? I haven’t seen or heard about him since the conference crumbled under him.
he was at the CFB playoff meetings
Why would the Pac12 waste the money for a hotel, flight and per diem to send him? Hopefully he attended via Zoom.
He's just waiting for that $50 mil/school deal to be finalized. Any day now...
Any day now, the longer we wait the better the deal gets!
Ummm... The announcers realize that 7:30 ET is in like 5 min, right? Not an hour away?
They've checked out since half time at least.
So what is our offense this year?
Definitely no more Tercel offense.
Mustang offense?
Tesla Ludicrous mode. :-)
Rivian RT1
#Drop60 anyone????
D hasn't scored yet
That’s cute! Letting the kicker get one!
We should have one more offensive series for Mendoza. Let's go for 61 points.
I wanna let Mendoza air it out a bit. Get him comfortable.
Agreed
We didn't need the points, but the kicking unit needs reps.
That should have been a PI for face guarding.
Good guy ref just wanted to make sure we practiced kicking FGs
yeah, why wasn't the interference, guy was never looking and went straight into the reciever
The refs just trying to keep the points down.
For sure. Blatant.
How is that not pass interference?
They didn't see that but they saw a phantom catch. Ridiculous.
That was such a faceguard
Is this our 2nd strong OLine?
Some third team guys in there as well. It's good to get these guys all some playing experience.
More than good. It's awesome. Makes our depth tested.
Jentegaard spotting!
even our turtle offense is getting 1st downs!
True! The turtle offense was doing so well, we had to put in the snail offense.
It's weird to hear us described as being too big and too physical for another team
but are we flying around? because that's also important.
That's what 50 guys from the Transfer Portal will do for you.
Scouting report on Nando?
He's the little engine that could. Never quits; always ready to learn; popular with team mates; more of a pocket passer.
MENDOZA!
Mendoza getting in on the fun now.
The Dozer in at QB!
Nando!
Mendoza time!
We are playing backup QB? Is that allowed?
we are playing the 3rd string QB, thats definately not allowed!
When you drop 55, yes!
Drop 55 AND not give up the same
I remember that stupid game in Pullman where they Coug'd a point blank field goal at the end and we won 62-61 or whatever.
The one where Connor Halliday broke the FBS passing record and Trevor Davis ran back two kickoffs for TDs?
We have WR #9 T. Davis to do it again this year.
Yep.
i think 60-59?
That's correct, just looked it up. 2014.
I feel like we haven't done that since the Tedford years
Wow that was a bad pass. Wasn't even miscommunication like Finley's. Just bad.
TAKERS!
Yoink!
INT. Go for #60?
Mendoza gotta get one of his own
Takers gotta take!
#dropfiftyWILCOX!!!!
#DROP100
that was a dumb stat, we scored 55 and its the most since the time we scored 52?
Something tells me that UNT might not have the greatest defense. But given how we did last year against Davis and UNLV, I'm still thrilled
UNT is FBS...Davis is FCS.
Yes, they're AAC.
I'm so glad we didn't stay in Pac12 and merge with AAC.
We usually played down to opponent's talent level. We couldn't even put FCS teams away. So the fact that we scored 50+, even if North Texas talent is bad, is a good sign of improvement.
EXACTLY!
Exactly. Which is why I'm not discounting this performance
ROLL ON YOU BEARS! Spav is the man!
