I like the schedule. We get to play Washington first so it won't be freezing and Arizona later in the year so it won't be extremely hot. The bye is perfectly positioned with the Friday game at Oregon giving us time to prep for one of the best teams.
I am not going to complain about another lame odd year schedule (we used to get U$C and UW at home in odd years) nor will I whine about the fact that we only have one November home game. Why? Because I'm so happy about the prospect of being in Memorial Stadium on a football Saturday again. Cannot wait. (Six months and two days.)
This schedule blows! The only gimme is Sac. State. Our warm-ups look brutal. Nevada and TCU are respectable programs that have given us fits before. Hell, even the big boys like Alabama and Ohio State get at least three body bag games like Chattanooga or Mercer to get in shape for the conference schedule. And who the hell thought that it would be a great idea to play UCLA three years in a row at the Rose Bowl!?!?!? I hope they return the favor and play us three years in a row at Memorial (which I doubt). Football gods, why do you hate us so much?
Competitively it looks pretty good. I do wish they could have beefed up the home schedule a bit to make up for last year, but will take what we can get at this point. Hope full capacity will be allowed so that away game tickets are feasible. Would like to go visit Oregon and Stanfurd in addition to the home games.

Just makes me happy to see any schedule! Go Bears!
Bye week seems ideal: halfway through, before the Friday at Oregon so we don't suffer a short week.
November looks kinda brutal. Four games, no easy ones, three away, USC right before Big Game.

...What the hell am I saying??? 15-0 INDIANAPOLIS HERE WE COME!
Do wish we got UO earlier since they MAY be breaking in a new (and young) QB..... maybe.....
Nevada's QB Carson Strong is supposed to be a top QB prospect in the 2022 draft so should be an interesting first challenge for our D
We are playing at the Rose Bowl for three straight years!
I dream of CAL being undefeated every year but I can realistically see Bears going 9-3 in 2021!

12 games, any 12 games will do. The record will sort itself out.
