Happy Holidays, Cal Fans!

And we give an early, not-so-fond farewell to 2020

It’s been one hell of a year, hasn’t it? It’s been 10.5 months since we launched this very website, and things haven’t exactly gone great for Cal athletics. Of course, circumstances haven’t been great for much of the world, so why should Cal be any different?

Trying to keep up with shifting football schedules, covering a fractured, farcical four game schedule, seeing Olympic sports get cancelled left and right . . . little in 2020 has been fun from a fandom perspective. ‘Real’ life has hit us hard with bracing tragedy.

The end of the year is inevitably a time to reflect. In tough times, I’ve leaned harder into the friends I’ve made in the Cal community. Whether you’re somebody I’ve had the pleasure of high-fiving in Memorial Stadium, a twitter conversationalist, a frequent WFC commenter, or one of the legion of anonymous lurkers, thanks for taking part in something fun with the rest of us.

This website probably won’t be hopping with new stories over the next few days, in part because there’s no Cal basketball until New Year’s Eve, and in part because all of us writers are catching a breather during the holidays.

Here’s to a 2021 that returns so many touchstones of our fan calendar, and returns chances to gather, whether it’s at a Cal game, or at a bar with friends with the game on the big screen.

For now, a best wishes to you and yours as 2020 ends and 2021 begins. Go Bears!

Happy holidays Nick and to your anonymous wife - and the rest of the WFC family. Hopefully we'll see each other in the parking lot of Dwinelle come Fall 2021 (although I'm not sure my work project will allow me to get back during football season - never mind an ongoing global pandemic)

For whoever lurks and reads this before the next dbd Monday... being a Cal fan and a Raiders fan are actually the same just with different names: endure mass amount of pain, get your hopes up just to flounder, and make me question what I'm doing with my life yet still root for them for whatever reason. (still processing the absolute insanity the raiders just did against miami I swear sonny dykes is coaching this defense)
