The entire cal community is all at once amazed, proud and energized by this latest iteration of the calgorithm.
However, in this time of peak excitement, I think it’s important to remember that the Cal Community encompasses more than just us here on W4C or those repping the cal burner community.

There’s a certain subset of longtime suffering fans who have bled with this team since our last rose bowl appearance in 1959. And it’s these fans who have kept this program alive. If the calgorithm is our voice, it’s these older blues who are the true backbone of the football program. They were instrumental behind the scenes in helping Cal to the ACC. And without their generosity, we wouldn’t have back to back top 10 portal classes.
So yes, the cal burners should be proud. This is your time. You deserve all the praise and fun and excitement. Absolutely deserved.
But please don’t forget. There have been cal fans who have been devoting their life to this team long before we came around. And without them, we wouldn’t all be where we are now. Yes, this season could mean we reach heights as a fan base never before seen. But we are all standing on the shoulders of those older blues. I think that’s important to at least acknowledge and remember.
