Fired up the pregame on KGO. Slowly ramping up for the KO whilst trying to maintain measured, sober, equanimity - i.e. Not "knocking the table" over if things don't go well as it applies to individual plays, current score, let alone final outcome.
Wanna be top tier academic schools tremble when they face the mighty Bears since they know deep down they must bow to our greatness, and this means our players have to navigate a school that cuts them no slack, and this generates a strength, a resolve, an inner fortitude, that can shine through. How a school as supreme as Cal can have such a well developed sense of modesty on the football field is understandable, and yet when we beat the $C's and Ducks and Udumbs and dare I say, Our Mothers of the world, it is so deeply satisfying as they KNOW we not only whooped them on the field of battle, but triumph in the marketplace of ideas.
I predict this game will go one of three ways: 1. ND will finally realize their potential and come out and play like the team everyone thought they were, we come out nervous and flat, and they roll us; 3. ND plays well and we play well and its a battle to the end and they win a close one but we show the world we are ready to be on stage; 3. ND shows up ready to play but so do we and we come out with attitude and hit them in the mouth on the opening kickoff setting the tone that we will not be fucked with. We win a close tough game that the national audience loves and we finally get the reputation that Wilcox has been promising. I'm hoping for #3. Roll on!!
Unfortunately, I think the strength on weakness match up between NDs pass rushers and Cal's struggling OL , combined with NDs motivation to bounce back, tips the outcome. I defer to the alarmingly accurate at times spreads and expect:
ND 21
Cal 10
Hoping to be pleasantly surprised with the Bears to look sharp for a full game and pull off the upset or at least keep it close down to the wire.
I spent a long time looking for one god dam pundit to give the bears any respect. Everybody just shitting on them and making excuses for notre dame. I don’t care how it happens, but these bears need to come home with the Win. Go Bears!
Is this the game thread?
Ready to watch the OL get rocked again
Starkey says 12k to 15k Cal fans present!
