USC has always been at the top of my list of teams I dislike (ha*e is a word I try to avoid). Notre Dame, Dodgers, Yankees, and Stanford, when we play them, are also on the list. Sonny Dykes was not a good fit for Cal, to say the least, and good riddance to him. But I've spent my Cal football life despising the Trojans and their sickening band—thus my choice.
Cal fans: I can understand our mutual disgust at U$C. However, for a guy who NEVER beat any of the California schools and who fielded defenses that couldn't stop a sneeze, Sonny sure liked to bad mouth Cal. I understand that he wasn't getting the institutional support that the program is getting now, but to blame the band as a partial reason for failure? Let's be honest; Sonny was looking for a better deal the minute he landed in Berkeley, preferably in Texas, so I guess he can say, "mission accomplished". Yes, the Trojans are a bunch of spoiled scum-bags but they (along witht he baby bears down south) are suffering thanks to their move to the Big Ten. If they hadn't blown up the Pac-12, they and the rest of the conference would have a much better chance of reaching the CFP. Suckers!!!!!
Since they are not playing us I don't really care. I just want our Bears to get way better and beat the crap out of them next time. All I'm thinking about after the Hawaii Bowl is when Oregon is going to lose so Lupoi can focus on us full time, and who are we going to get in the portal next week?
We would definitely benefit if Texas Tech were to upset Oregon. Tosh would be able to blitz the transfer portal and raid other schools for their commits from January 2 to January 16. He already has two National Championship rings on his resume from his time at Alabama, so that box is already checked for him. The sooner Oregon loses, the sooner Tosh can start blowing the doors open, building connections with recruits who are committed elsewhere or are on the fence, and addressing the gaps in our roster. If Oregon plays in the natty, Tosh gets only two weeks to aggressively try to acquire or flip 2026 commits to Cal.
I always say: My two most favorite teams are Cal and whoever is playing U$C! I know Sonny, although not well, but know he is a Texan at heart and ultimately wanted to go back home. His wife just couldn’t fit into the Bay Area culture which not everyone does—especially if you are from places like Texas. If you want a great read about how screwed up things at U$C can be, look up Bad City on Amazon. It is amazing. The guy who wrote the book, Paul Pringle, won a Pulitzer for his effort.
Refs tried to steal it for U$C in OT on a bogus incomplete pass call - but it didn't matter! BTW, USC band sucks.
HAHAHAHA, god that was awesome
If that was us. It would haven ruled a fumble with a td.
Fake injury by usc CB to slow down tCU
This isn't even a question. U$C hatred is over 100 years old. It's in the blood of every Old Blue. Any dislike for Sonny doesn't begin to compare.
I would root for Satan's Spawn against USC.

I'm pulling for a casualty-free blimp accident that does irreparable damage to the Alamodome and scraps the whole thing.
That is not the Hoosier way Jimmy.
As John Book said in the 1985 classic film Witness: “But it’s my way.”
Do things to hurt Cal athletics, you deserve nothing but bad things. ;-)
USC! Along with UCLA, they killed the Pac-10!
Don't forget Oregon and Washington. They completed the f'n screwing of what was a great conference, the PAC 12.
Yeah, agree. U$C was always flirting with going independent, fUCLA was a shocker.
I'm looking for a scoreless tie.
Who cares....more interested in who were going to get from the portal so we can get much better.

I don't like USC or UCLA way more than I don't like Sonny. I mean like, a whole lot more.
