Now let’s transfer that energy and focus over to the team and the coaching staff for the game. I believe we can do it.

But we’ve already won folks. Whatever happens tonight, let’s cheer on our sturdy golden bears!

Positive thoughts everyone!

That was awesome! Caught McAfeee on his way to the car and he was so impressed by Cal fans.

Also, almost everyone stopped, or at least paused for a sec to acknowledge us, but only Marshawn kept going without even looking. Only he's allowed to do that.

I went to a Marshawn picture op before a game a couple years ago. Started telling him about how big a fan I am, he straight ignored me and put his arm over my future wife and said "what's up ma". Not offended

Mashawn can do whatever he wants

That was epic! Wasn't able to be there in person, but enjoyed every second of the 3 hour live telecast. The energy was palpable and the hosts seemed to be having a blast. Go Bears! Let's beat Miami!

My favorite signs from the broadcast:

“Turn Florida Blue and Gold”

“The U hasn’t had a killer instinct since Ray Lewis”

“Where Were U January 6, 2021”

“Miami’s Playbook is Shorter Than My Syllabus”

“DEI or DUI”

“This protest sucks”

“I only do lines of code”

You picked good ones. This is my favorite (on your list too)

“This protest sucks”

But I haven't found it one line. Anyone have a pic?

Best deep-cut (perfect for a Berkeley nerd):

“The Adams-Onis Treaty was a mistake.”

Though I was sliding into cynical curmudgeon mode this week, I watched the whole thing and enjoyed it.

Overall a great CGD. If only Cal were a bit more favored.

A super showing by Cal students and fans.

On to the game!

If we were favored we’d be nationally ranked, like we were in ‘07, we’d already have the attention. That we showed so well after so many years of suffering and heartbreak, and in a game where we aren’t favored, says everything. As folks around here like to say, it’s a good day to be a Bear.

Can someone make “Daniel at Gameday” video set to Vans by The Pack? Straight outta Berkeley!

Might not want to ask Marshawn if he has a license.

From the brink of irrelevancy to this

we need some predictions on how the cart is going to bring Marshawn in!

I’m at the event. He’s sitting on a cart under the goal post (where the kid made the kick). Gonna drive it in from there.

He was waiting there forever lol

Can confirm that he was smoking a joint right about up until the cameras started rolling.

Hope hitting that FG on GameDay isn't the high point of Cal football for the day!

Agreed, but that was a nice kick. Go Civil Engineers!

If only he knew what his major was about. oy!

Typical engineers are not the greatest at verbal expression. Speaking from personal experience:)

I will say Coach Wilcox was great in his spot on the show.

Expand full comment

I just want the offense to turn the corner because Wilcox is such a great representative for the school and I really enjoy our teams not being blown out anymore.

Someone should start selling Cal pointers

Saban with blue and gold!!!

Are there two sets of cheerleaders? One in white and one in blue? Or am I still asleep?

Expand full comment

I think cheerleaders are in blue and the dance team is in white?

Expand full comment

At some point they added actual cheerleaders in addition to keeping the dance team.

First time watching CGD live and enjoying every minute of it. Best television this year by far (for me)
