How to watch Cal v. Virginia Tech college football
When: Saturday, Oct. 10, 2026
Kick-Off Time: 12:30 p.m. Pacific
Where: Databricks Field at California Memorial Stadium in Berkeley, Calif.
TV: ACC Network
Radio: KSFO 810 AM; Channel 234 on SiriusXM Radio or Channel 958 on the SiriusXM app and website; The Varsity Network app; or the official Cal Bears YouTube channel
Decent amount of VTech but also we haven’t completely lost the fans yet. We need a good showing imho, I think we’re standing at the edge of the abyss though.
Nam and Wetbeefs brought up the thing about left handed QBs vs. right handed QBs - were the drops w/JKS at the helm from that? If so, didn't the WRs practice the lefty spin on the Jugs machine?
This is definitely a Cal issue….as conservative of a medical/training staff as there is. Always erring to the extreme side of caution.
Certainly makes more sense with head injuries (ie JKS here), but overall, players who would likely have been cleared at other schools rarely get green-lighted at Cal.
yuck
No vertical passing game today
Answer: Cal
Man, why wasn’t the TD reviewed? it seems like maybe ball was wobbling before it hit pylon…
Maybe we should avoid giving up 33 on 3rd and 16 on a ball throw back across the middle. I don’t know, I’m not a coordinator.
You apparently have sufficient experience to be one.
Williams had no idea that the guy who went by him had the ball!
Trash
Chunk plays
This team is unwatchable.
Seemed like things were going well, then three straight absolutely horrific plays.
3rd n long is still with us
Dandy
cal has -3 rushing yards after one quarter of play
Defense is keeping us in this game. But when will some points go on the board for Cal?
I was going to say, the defense might score for us. But, never mind
That quarter could have been worse. Offense did its usual not much, but defense looked ok.
Scheme is one thing, execution is another altogether
Dare I say we need a Wilcox offense to eat clock?
That was inexcusably awful. Direct snap to RB on 3rd & 6 at midfield?
This is not a serious program, my word.
We have been unable to run all year. Our screens have been terrible. And when we are in third downs, we do not play to our strengths.
They’re calling plays based on how they hope things should go, rather than what you’ve now witnessed over 5 games…
Cal Oline completely overwhelmed
Most of these guys are not P4-caliber players.
Why
Decent crowd btw. The ship is not yet abandoned.
Packed in the university club for homecoming
Parents’ weekend?
Decent amount of VTech but also we haven’t completely lost the fans yet. We need a good showing imho, I think we’re standing at the edge of the abyss though.
TD drive coming up
Just kidding
So far, so good yolo
Still in it, baby!
Thank you, winds of Memorial
Shout out to VaTech for running into an 8 man box. That’s normally our game.
their offense was watching the wrong tape! lol
They're not going to show the replay?
Nvm.
So undisciplined.
Overton did what Emory should have done. If you don't see a lane between the tackles, bounce it outside the tackle box.
you can take the headset away from somerville but you cant take the screens out of the playbook
Some positives signs on offense
Bubble butt screen is back
I bet they were expecting blitz
Thought we’d put that one to bed 😩
Funny how opponents have no issue picking up 7-8 yards a clip with that play.
When we need 9 yards.
Not terribly angry about the call there if they were expecting blitz. If they inexplicably keep going back to it, that'll be different
Has that play ever gotten us 9 yards this year without a penalty pulling it back?
Nam and Wetbeefs brought up the thing about left handed QBs vs. right handed QBs - were the drops w/JKS at the helm from that? If so, didn't the WRs practice the lefty spin on the Jugs machine?
the spacing on offense is so much better!
There is barely anyone here. Sigh. At least I can stretch out
Still filling in but ya if we don’t make this at least competitive it’s gonna be bad next week.
May the football gods shine down on our O/Broussard
good defensive drive. lets get some first downs on O.
Not a bad start!
Ummm… three and out and a shanked punt? Are we at the point that a defensive stop is all we need?
I expected the Hokies to have scored by now
Well at least the d is playing well. We’ll see how long they can keep it up if they get no support from the offense.
GROUNDING
definitely grounding
Great tackling….
Defense looking better so far
How did JKS get cleared second half last week and gets ruled out 10 min before game time? Is there another injury we don’t know about
This is definitely a Cal issue….as conservative of a medical/training staff as there is. Always erring to the extreme side of caution.

Gamesmanship.
Novice med. staff, too?
Let’s go Bears!
12:15 pm. It’s a beautiful day in Strawberry Canyon. VaTech fans appear to outnumber the Cal students. Sigh…
😩
Wow. Just a disastrous start in Berkeley for Tosh. Yikes.
JKS taking snaps with the 1st team offense. Lopa not with the 1st team D.
Thanks but I just saw online they have JKS and Mohammed as out.
Indeed. JKS lopa mo all out. It’s gunna be a rough ride
I am relieved JKS is out. It's best for his health not to risk another head injury after a concussion last week.
Does anybody know which players are out? Especially, JKS, Lopa, Mohammed and Vargas.
ACC is showing the NC/Pitt game in “command center” format. I wonder if the Cal game will be shown that way. I’d be surprised.
At a wedding. Go Bears! If I post more, it's on penalty of death. ( So, I'll sneak some in later)
Rebirth of Bears 🐻 today! New OC and simpler, more successful system! Class ‘89 . Go Blue & Gold! 👊🏼💪🏻🙌🏻🏈💙💛
In Portland, OR, it’s on ACC network, not ESPN….. I can’t keep track of all this….and get off my lawn!
