Do we even have offensive plays? It's all motion off the top of the key, wait, pray.

Man that's tough a classic Cal offensive rut (both of Colorado and Cal's doing) dooms us in a close game yet again. I love me some Jalen Celestine (he brought more to the table than I anticipated) and DJ Thorpe who I said to Nick should be competing for 7th to 8th man minutes over Lars Thiemann because frankly he's so much better and more fundamentally sound than he will ever be. Makale Foreman stinks and unlike Betley was not able to recover over the last 2/3 of the season and I really hated his shot selection over the whole season ,if i wanted a chuker on the team I would've just watched Darius Mcneil play (the stats may not meet the ire of this statement but I personally didn't like what he brought to the table ever). Hopefully we can get this rotation figured out and get DJ Thorpe more minutes as he's my version of campaigning for a player like gobears49 did with Jaden Casey did before he left. Go Bears and on to 2021-2022!

Bill Walton, "Buffalos need 60 pounds of grass per day." He pauses then says, "Sounds like some friends of mine."

LMAO as tears rolled down my cheeks.

It was a good effort by a team lacking enough scoring. Colorado easily double teamed Bradley, as all should, given how much we rely on him. This season comes to a close. I'm confident that Fox can get players to fight hard and give their best. Time will tell if Fox can recruit players good enough to compete highly in the Pac12 and coach them to play winning ball. Go Bears.

Walton calls the bf of one of the Tinkle girls a 'house boy'. Haha, classic.

Great that we saved DJ Thorpe for the very last game. Team has fought hard all year and played with class despite it all.

Awesome write up, Nick. During the Furd game I actually taped 10 seconds of Bill Walton commentary to demonstrate to some friends how crazy an announcer he can be. And thanks, Bears, for fighting and scrapping this season!

Too bad that Foreman's 3 rattled out. If we had gotten into overtime I think the Bears would have had a chance to pull off the upset, in spite of losing Bradley.
