We may not be going to the conference championship, but we are going the distance!

I have often dreamed

Of a far-off place

Where a great, warm welcome

Will be waiting for me

Where the crowds will cheer

When they see my face

And a voice keeps saying

This is where I'm meant to be

I will find my way

I can go the distance

I'll be there someday

If I can be strong

I know every mile

Will be worth my while

I would go most anywhere to feel like I

Night game vs USC on the first day of dead week, game should be mainly students and therefore the loudest of the season.

I'm talking about since we used them as tribute unis. We're 0-and LA Schools.

I think 2007 USC game was competitive. We almost won that game in the rain.

As of 2017 it's an annual tradition for the home game against USC or UCLA, and we wore them in 2018 and 2019. Might be tied to Under Armour too.

8pm in December rather than take a forfeit loss? Yes, please.

Well, we'll be playing for that bowl berth! Don't mind the cold!!!

Wait.....this Cal team is going to be the first since Joe Kapp played in 1958 to sweep the California schools? This same group that put up six points against a 5-5 Washington State team? I guess we can dream big. I actually think that Cal will get to a bowl game if it beats Stanford and UCLA. SC is going to lose to UCLA and BYU and will be mailing it in on a shivery night in Berkeley.

It's possible... Mostly because this is the shittiest all CA schools have been at the same time since I can remember.

Actually, the uniforms start with those from the late 50s and then a shot of the helmet from the Ray Willsey years, just before Mike White became the coach. The Willsey-era uniforms have always been my favorites. The gold leaf block C looked fantastic when the sun hit it.

It’s conference championship weekend - championship games for SEC, ACC, B10, B12 and various smaller conferences too. Cal - USC will be after all those. I doubt there will be a big audience.
