Alan totally agree with your stated sentiment. What a day from 6 am till the missed flagrant foul call. If anything a learning lesson for the current student body and wagon hoppers to know the thrill and pain of a "history of playing well to lose so painfully".....it's how we roll on Bears. Manny '85

Really. Since when is a player who launches himself at a ball carrier, hits him helmet-to-helmet with the crown NOT called for targeting -- especially when it's the QB running with the ball. (I know he's a runner at that point, but the rules and refs nearly always do all they can to protect a quarterback, given the player's strategic importance. But not last Saturday, not when it's a ranked Miami team against Cal.) Even so, it shouldn't have come to that. Btw, I've never liked the 'Roll on you Bears' chant, largely because the Bears either get rolled by the opposition or roll over. I've always preferred 'Kick ass, Bears!' or some variation on that theme.
Disagree, Roll on you Bears! is one of the greatest chants in college football. It's loud, haunting and when done properly is demoralizing to the opponent
It's simple, First and 10 before the 50, Roll on after the 50.
Also a funny aside, my mom was chatting with an Auburn fan at the game and mentioned that Cal doesn't have to most successful football history and his response was "Yeah, I figured that a team that has two different first down chants may not have the best history"

Unfortunately sometimes the mic men don't know when to do it.
