Yay, welcome @TD_24!!!! As a never-attended-Cal fan that grew up in the Bay Area, I love that you are contributing to WFC. In high school I would get free student/alumni tickets from my much smarter cousins who went to Cal. That's where the pain first started. But I know nothing about campus life, all the best places to eat in the surrounding area, or have any understanding of student culture. All of this to say, congrats on joining the team, and I am really looking forward to your unique perspective and all your future articles.

Welcome aboard, looking forward to reading your stuff!

Also, I normally wouldn't comment about a typo, but since it's in the headline you might want to fix it. It should be "don", not "dawn". Just FYI, no biggie.

Maybe he was going for a play on the 1984 movie classic, Red Dawn? Since covering Cal football and sports can feel like the plot of that movie.

It is possible for some plays-on-words to have heterogeneous origins. Even some technologies have been independently invented by humans that never exchanged ideas or interacted in the same time and space.

Philosophically, one could say some of these things are "discovered" not "invented." You discovered "TypiCal" on your own , while at the very same time in some parallel universes "TypiCal" had already become cliche.

I'm saying it's been used on this site and CGB for many years. How could you have not seen it?

We need an official wikipedia page to clear this up definitively. I hereby suggest Bob becomes a contributor, and our "inside guy" on that platform.

Are you saying you are the Richard Lewis of Cal fandom?
