Since 1960 we have had just 12 seasons where we finished above .500 in conference play. Think about that.

Since 1960 we have had just 12 seasons where we finished above .500 in conference play. Think about that. The winningest coach during this time was Tedford who brought us almost half of those seasons. Now the game is changed to semi-professional status with all the NIL monies, and we keep thinking there is another young, talented, hungry coach willing to work for relative Cal peanuts. Either we play in the game or we don’t, not just emotionally but financially. We have the fans and talent to support fantastic lower-revenue programs like rugby, crew, swimming, polo - why NOT football (to the Cal AD-Admin)? Run the spreadsheet - you in or out? I’m going to my 52nd consecutive Big Game on Saturday to sit in the rain hoping again. Go Bears
Jan. 1, 1959, Rose Bowl. Cal vs. Iowa. Iowa 38, Cal 12. Last time Cal went to the Rose Bowl. 65 years ago! Doesn't that sort of sum up the Cal football program? Sad and depressing for an old Cal fan who got "hooked" on them when he was 10.
I was at that Rose Bowl. Joe Kapp was the QB. I've missed 9 since, Viet Nam and coaching took those. I'll be an optimistic Bear fan til I leave this planet.
Since 1964 I've missed two Big Games in Berkeley ('78 and '80). This will be my 46th overall. I'll renew my season tickets for next season because it's in my DNA but I'm not thrilled about the future and won't be until there's a new head coach.

I’m in Winebear, it’s a matter of commitment starting with the administration. I’ll be heading to my 50th consecutive Big Game.
Turned fifty in Septiembre…you haven’t missed a Big Game in my lifetime.
Mad respect!
