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
No way this goofy as mf is crying tears of joy about beating a shitty team like Stanford and barely making it to a bowl game. My GOATS Cam Ward, Kevin Jennings, Cade Klubnik and Kyle McCord could never stoop this low as this bitch boy
When was the last time this team has competed in a BCS/NY6 bowl game??? I won't be happy and stop shitting on them until they do which is never going to happen
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.
This team does not deserve to win, Wilcox deserve to not be employed, Fernando Mendoza will never be better than his father Kevin Jennings, Jadyn Ott is an overpaid fraud, USC will always be better than us at football and Saint Mary's and USF own us in basketball
I am a recently converted SMU fan and my team's basketball team has made it to March Madness the last 3 years and is usually ranked. SMU's season this year has accomplished more than Cal has this entire century so far. Pathetic that beating a poverty Stanford is considered an accomplishment

Rate the game here!
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.

Imagine wasting your one opportunity to troll this community on swinging at air after a rivalry game we won to become bowl eligible
DON’T CARE. CAL HAS THE AXE
Congrats that's the equivalent of being the smartest kid with down syndrome
DON’T CARE. CAL HAS THE AXE
0/10
Ukraine flag as pfp you or your country do not matter
Troll
Ok.
And feed frozen again
You're 6-5 Nando, not 6-6!
Nando in tears. Go Bears
Mendoza crying for his team. Love it.
Daniels is even more shitty than Fraudnando Midoza. Kevin Jennings and Cam Ward's backups would destroy both of these guys
🤡
Cool story brah.
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!
When was the last time this team has competed in a BCS/NY6 bowl game??? I won't be happy and stop shitting on them until they do which is never going to happen
Being a Cal fan has more to do than with just about the athletics
DON’T CARE CAL HAS THE AXE
FUCK YEAH!
YOU TELL THE STORY!
YOU TELL THE STORY!
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?
This team does not deserve to win, Wilcox deserve to not be employed, Fernando Mendoza will never be better than his father Kevin Jennings, Jadyn Ott is an overpaid fraud, USC will always be better than us at football and Saint Mary's and USF own us in basketball
who are you?
I'm afraid only the first two things you said can I agree with.
Yet we won, go cry into your beer about it

Weird bro, weird.
You're sure showing us.
cherry picker
Congratulations you big old winner, go rain on somebody else’s parade
DONT CARE IF WE KEEP THE AXE
STFU
Very Zen
Concur Zen
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 😬
