Seems like the Bears were hibernating for about 6 1/2 quarters. Thought they had thrown in the towel. Great to see them wake up and pull this one out. Go Bears!
On the one hand this was a squeaker against a weak opponent, but on the other we basically dominated the last three quarters. Even Furd's 2nd half TD drive depended on a bunch of plays they barely made. Ultimately we executed down the stretch and they didn't.
If you saw last week's Stanford win over top 20 Louisville, you wouldn't call them a "weak" opponent. I really thought they should be favored after watching both teams last Saturday
Before, We go to crazy. If We win this game let's give the credit to the players. Wilcox had nothing to do it. He may be the HC The players deserve all the credit in hanging in and making the plays
Yes, He did recruited the players. But, you must admit that his game time play calling is not adequate as a HC. I would 75 to 90 percent of the fans on this thread would like to see him go.

WTF
Caught some of the post-game interview with Nando on the field getting emotional.

Shoutout to Daniel Lahl, whose 24-23 prediction was really close!
Though the comments about the FG kickers didn’t quite fit.
So Happy for Fernando and the seniors!

Wilcox should donate part of his salary to Mendoza’s new LLC
The LA Bowl is ridiculous, but please let that be the destination.
One can hope that SMU rests their starters to prep for the playoffs like they do in the NFL.
Zero chance
No passer doing more with less protection than Mendoza.
Showed me a ton on that last possession.
An all-time great drive.
Tip of the hat.
I love bowling
98 yd drive for the kill, love it! Man, you gotta love Mendoza’s passion.
Legendary.
Finally a close game that we actually WIN!
It felt like an exorcism. I think that was part of the emotion Fernando was showing
We are best 6-5 team!
Although Nando said 6-6 in the post-game interview - haven't lost to SMU yet my dude!
I have no faith in these coaches. But I will love and respect Fernando Mendoza forever. True baller.
100%.
That drive made Nando a f-ing legend.
Mendoza’s tough not to like.

What a rollercoaster. Classic cal heart attack.
Stadium announcer: if you are going to rush the field please wait one minute and take the stairs don’t jump over the wall…. LOL.
My friends. It was an ugly win. We did not play a great game. But we earned this win. Big Game is just a different game.
Enjoy it.
And feed frozen again
You're 6-5 Nando, not 6-6!
Nando in tears. Go Bears
Mendoza crying for his team. Love it.
Celebrate the win. Gripe about coaching later.
for sure; that was fun (in the end)
Absolutely.
6-6 with back to back bowls is nothing to gripe at.
Uhh. We haven’t played with SMU yet.
Lol Nando. Let it out.
CAL WINS THE 127th BIG GAME
“There will be no extra point.”
As much as Wilcox is flawed, you gotta give him credit for keeping the axe where it belongs.
Awesome win.
Love the comeback
haha, Stan's gotta be hatin' life right about now; they dominated today.
I hope they get heartburn.
YOU KNOW IT!
FUCK YEAH!
YOU TELL THE STORY!
YOU TELL THE STORY!
Being a Cal fan has more to do than with just about the athletics
DON’T CARE CAL HAS THE AXE
I say it every year, that axe staredown has 20 of the least intimidating people I've ever seen in my life
When did they turn into dead eyed zombies. I don’t remember that in the 80’s.
Yeah... no offense to them but someone has to be a little intimidating. They seem almost reassuring.

Boo hoo daniels
Are you all feeling unburdened by what has been?
GO BEARS
Nevermind the victory knee, score the “f*** you” TD
but with 3 hands on the football
THIS
Slow roll to a score. Leave no time on the clock.
soooo...are we unfiring Wilcox now? 😂
I'm past the "just win the Big Game" thing. California can win football games, lets make it happen more often
remember we were favored by14. even if we win it's an awful performance
No...cause Stanford is only slightly worse than us.
Cal, yes. The court of public opinion, absolutely not lol
temporarily for today, the usual business resumes tomorrow
Hell no
Thankfully, Furd is Furd.
Well we held them to 21
We have to end this with a score!
Feed is shitty again
oh, man...I can hardly believe what I'm seeing here!!
Let’s end this with a rushing TD!
they gotta go for it, right?
Got em where we want em. 4 th and long 😬
EXTEND WILCOX!!
I was going to like that comment, but don't want knowlton to get the wrong idea
6 more years, 6 more years!
6 n 6!
LOL
Don't F this up Bears!!!! Please please please please
Stanford has just one TO remaining
