Main hub thread with the full 131 rankings
“And the Bears! The Bears have won! The Bears have won! Oh, my God! The most amazing, sensational, dramatic, heart-rending...exciting, thrilling finish in the history of college football! California has won the Big Game over Stanford! Oh, excuse me for my voice, but I have never, never seen anything like it in the history of I have ever seen any game in my life! The Bears have won it! There will be no extra point!” - Joe Starkey
No matter what they do, whether they go 12-0 or 0-12, Cal will always have The Play. Just like Joe Starkey described, The Play perfectly encapsulates everything great about college football: The rivalries, the wackiness of the band out on the field, the passion of the Cal player slamming the ball into a trombone player, the crazy play, the controversy of whether the player’s knee was down or not, a tremendous announcer call—it’s the perfect college football moment. Tightwad Hill, named after the $0 view of the field, is a great place to watch a game, perched on a hill with a perfect aerial view of the stadium, see the picture above. Between all this, a tradition of pumping out top tier NFL talent, and competing for the Bay Area’s premier college football team with Stanford, a good Cal is good for college football. They bring a clean, fun brand of football and tap into a massive market with the Bay Area.

Some of Cal’s statistics here are STUPID. 121 NFL players drafted is by far the most we’ve seen, with the second most being Illinois with 101. After that is Purdue with just 87. So, Cal averages about 3 players a draft despite just 15 winning seasons in 40 years. And they’re not pumping out quantity over quality, either. Notable alumni include QB Aaron Rodgers, TE Tony Gonzalez, RB Marshawn Lynch, WR Desean Jackson, WR Keenan Allen, QB Jared Goff, DE Cameron Jordan, C Alex Mack, CB Nnamdi Asomugha, OT Mitchell Schwartz, the list goes on and on. Consensus All-Americans include LB Ron Rivera (1983), who’s gone on to coach for over a decade in the NFL, TE Tony Gonzalez (1996), CB Deltha O’Neal (1999), who led the both the NCAA (9 in 1999) and NFL (10 in 2005) in interceptions, 7th overall pick DL Andre Carter (2000), P Nick Harris (2000) who set the NCAA record for career punting yards, and LB Evan Weaver (2019), who recorded the 4th most tackles in a season ever with 181.

Top 5 Seasons

Worst Season: 2013 (1-11 overall, 0-9 Pac-12)
Heading into the year, Cal had a new coach in Sonny Dykes, and a 5-star freshman QB in Zach Kline who was the #2 pro style passer coming out of high school. But it wasn’t Kline who Dykes would end up choosing for the starting job, it was a lanky true freshman by the name of Jared Goff who’d win the role and never look back. 2013 Cal struggled mightily, but not necessarily because of their offense. Goff led the Bears to 23.0 PPG, while the defense gave up a whopping 45.9 PPG. Their only win was 37-30 over FCS Portland State, and losses included 16-55 to #2 Oregon, 22-44 to Washington State, 10-37 to #11 UCLA, 17-49 to Oregon State, 28-62 to USC, and last and definitely least, 13-63 to Stanford. There were signs of promise in Dykes and Goff’s first year though. A 34-52 loss to Ohio State was the 4th most points given up by the Buckeyes all season, and Goff threw for nearly 400 yards with 3 TDs to 1 INT. By the end of the year, he had thrown for 3500 yards with 18 TD 10 INT, and would go on to throw 78 more TDs over the next 2 years and be drafted #1 overall by the St. Louis Rams.
5. 1993 (9-4 overall, 4-4 Pac-10)
Like many Cal teams we’ll see in these top 5 season descriptions, this team had a lot of talent. A 5-0 start included 2 Pac-10 wins and a #16 ranking, before losing 4 straight to fall to 5-4 and 2-4 in the Pac. Cal saved their best for last though, finishing as one of the hottest teams in the country with a win over #13 Arizona, 46-17 over Stanford, 42-18 over Hawaii, and 37-3 over Iowa in the Alamo Bowl. The reason for the 0-4 midseason stretch was mainly QB Dave Barr’s shoulder, injured in the first loss against #13 Washington. Barr finished 2nd in the NCAA in passer rating with 68% completions for 2619 yards 21 TD 12 INT. 13 players were drafted over the next 3 years, including Barr and 1st rounders OT Todd Steussie, DE Regan Upshaw, and DE Duane Clemons.
4. 2008 (9-4 overall, 6-3 Pac-10)
Cal won 9 games despite a QB controversy that lasted the entire year. Nate Longshore, a 2 year starter, entered the year as the backup to talented sophomore Kevin Riley, but the two would trade positions periodically. The one constant was future 1st round RB Jahvid Best, who ran for 1580 yards and 15 TD on 8.1 YPC. In the opener against Michigan State, Best and backup Shane Vereen ran for 100 yards each in a 38-31 win, with Riley looking like the much better QB over Longshore. But their play would both be up and down just as the season was. Following a 66-3 demolition of Washington State, the #25 Bears lost in a 27-35 upset at Maryland. A 6-2 start saw a win over #23 Oregon, who’d finish the year #10, but also a loss to Arizona. They’d lose 2 more road games against #6 USC and Oregon State, before finishing with home wins over Stanford and Washington, and a 24-17 win over Miami (FL) in the bowl. Cal was 7-0 at home but just 1-4 away. Riley completed just 51% of throws for 1360 yards 14 TD 6 INT, while Longshore wasn’t much better with 57% for 1051 yards 10 TD 4 INT, finishing as Cal’s 5th all time leading passer. Dominant LB Zack Follett had 87 tackles, 10.5 sacks, and 12.5 TFL, finishing #1 in the country in total TFL with 23. C Alex Mack won the Pac-10’s Morris Trophy for the 2nd straight year as the conference’s best lineman, and also took home the “Academic Heisman” with the Draddy Trophy.
3. 2006 (10-3 overall, 7-2 Pac-10)
Spirits were high in Berkeley. Jeff Tedford had built a serious Pac-10 contender and dark horse national title contender, starting the season ranked #9, their highest preseason ranking since 1952. Lee Corso even predicted them to win the national title. A slow start, however, saw them go down 0-35 to Tennessee in the opener before losing 18-35. That’s when the win streak began. Minnesota, Portland State, #22 Arizona State, Oregon State, all beaten by 25+ points. #16 Cal hosted #11 Oregon for Homecoming, with a sold out crowd of 72,516 turning up for one of the biggest wins of the 2000s, beating the brakes off the Ducks 45-24. A few weeks later, in a sleepy 31-24 OT win over Washington, Marshawn Lynch took over, racking up 203 yards from scrimmage and 2 4th quarteOT touchdowns. To celebrate, he stole one of the golf carts in the stadium and “ghost rode the whip” around the field in true Marshawn fashion. Everything was setting up for a top 10 matchup to decide the Pac-10 title vs USC later in the season. After the Trojans had lost to Oregon State, Cal was alone in first place. But things would be derailed after an upset loss to Arizona, falling from #8 to #17, and then a 9-23 loss sealed their fate of no outright Pac-10 title. However, with a win on the final day over Stanford and a USC upset loss to UCLA, Cal tied for the Pac-10 title at 7-2, their first since 1975. A dominant 45-10 win over #21 Texas A&M in the Holiday Bowl sealed a 10 win season and #14 finish.
Lynch won Pac-10 Offensive POTY, rushing for 1350 yards with 11 TD, also adding 328 receiving yards and 4 TD. WR Desean Jackson was 1st Team All Pac-10 with over 1000 receiving yards and 9 TD on 59 catches, also earning consensus All-American as a punt returner (18.2 average and 4 TDs). The defense was full of future NFL players, but none were better than CB Daymeion Hughes, winner of Pac-10 Defensive POTY, the Ronnie Lott Trophy, and a consensus All-American, with 8 INTs and 2 TDs.
2. 2004 (10-2 overall, 7-1 Pac-10)
Sonny Dykes, the former Cal coach who was on the Texas Tech sideline when they played Cal in the 2004 Holiday Bowl, called this Bears team “as talented a college football team as I’ve seen in a long, long time.” He wasn’t exaggerating. Cal demolished the opening competition, beating Air Force, New Mexico State, and Oregon State by a combined 146-35. The matchup of #7 Cal at #1 USC was highly anticipated after Cal handed USC their only loss in 2003, so GameDay was on campus for the biggest Cal-USC game maybe ever. Aaron Rodgers set an NCAA record for consecutive passes completed in a game with 23, but fell short of the end zone on 4th and goal to lose 17-23. Cal had dominated, outgaining USC 424-205 in yardage, but USC forced timely turnovers and the goal line stand at the end was the biggest in program history. USC wouldn’t lose a single game, finishing 13-0 and as the national champion. Cal would also win the rest of their regular season games, beating up on a weak Pac-10, but simultaneously impressing with wins like 27-0 over eventual 9-3 and #19 Arizona State, the 3rd ranked team in the Pac behind USC and Cal.
But yet, when the season had ended, there was just one Rose Bowl spot left for a team to play Michigan, and it would go to either #4 Cal or #6 Texas. Texas coach Mack Brown had some timely words of encouragement to the voters, saying "If you've got a vote, vote for us…This team deserves to go to the BCS. They deserve to go more than some teams that are being talked about.” As a result, Texas got the Rose Bowl spot and beat Michigan, while Cal’s season ended on a sour note, losing 31-45 to #20 Texas Tech in the Holiday Bowl.
Cal dominated the postseason Pac-10 awards. Jeff Tedford won Pac-10 Coach of the Year despite Pete Carroll winning the national title. QB Aaron Rodgers was 1st Team All Pac-10, completing 66% of throws for 2566 yards 24 TD 8 INT. RB JJ Arrington joined him on the 1st Team, also earning consensus All-American status and finished 8th in Heisman voting with a 2000 yard rushing season and 15 TD on 7.0 YPC. Backup RB Marshawn Lynch looked even better at times, running for 628 yards and 8 TD on 8.8(!) YPC. WR Geoff McArthur was another 1st Team selection, with 862 receiving yards to finish as Cal’s all-time leading receiver with 3188. Arrington, OG Marvin Philip, and DE Ryan Riddle were All-Americans. Overall, 9 players made 1st Team All Pac-10, more than any other team including USC.
1. 1991 (10-2 overall, 6-2 Pac-10)
The season started with a bang, but also a lack thereof. Cal ran up the score so much on Pacific (86-24) that the Victory Cannon on Tightwad Hill ran out of ammo. The win would foreshadow a season where Cal ranked top 5 in the nation in offense thanks to multiple consensus All-Americans at their skill positions. A 5-0 start jetpacked Cal from unranked to #7, wins coming over Purdue, #24 UCLA, and 45-7 over Oregon. Cal lost a respectable 17-24 result to #3 Washington, who would finish the year unbeaten and share the national title with Miami (FL). The Bears would remain in the top 10 for the rest of the regular season, sticking it to USC 52-30 in front of a home crowd of 70,000, and winning the rest of their games up until the Big Game against Stanford. #6 Cal fell to #21 Stanford in front of a Cardinal crowd of over 85,000, finishing the year tied for second in the Pac instead of an outright second placed finish. The reason why the 1991 team gets the nod over 2004 for first place though, is how strongly they finished. Cal molly whopped #13 Clemson 37-14 in the Citrus Bowl, finishing the year with their highest ranking in the last 70 years at #8.
QB Mike Pawlawski won the Pac-10 Offensive POTY, throwing for 2500 yards with 21 TD 13 INT. RB Russell White, one of the best players in school history and nephew of former USC Heisman winner Charles White, earned consensus All-American, rushing for 1177 yards and 14 TD. WR Sean Dawkins wouldn’t earn consensus All-American honors until the next season, but still finished 2nd in the Pac with 11 receiving TDs on 40 catches. Kicker Doug Brien earned 1st Team All Pac-10, hitting 19 of 28 FGs, and would go on to win a Super Bowl with the San Francisco 49ers in 1994, setting an NFL record with 17 PATs made in the postseason.

5th Quarter

What’s the first thing that comes to mind for you about Cal football? Is The Play the best, most iconic, most famous, however you want to describe it, play in college football history? Why has Cal produced so many top tier NFL players but struggled to put wins on the table? If Aaron Rodgers finishes the final drive and beats #1 USC in 2004, does Cal win the national title, and where would Cal football be today? How do you feel about the direction the university has taken in the last decade focusing much more on academics over football? Are they making the best decision for the university, or is the importance of a strong football program something they’re overlooking?

Having someone successful to look up to and tell you how things work is incredible.
When I first moved in w my Bf(future husband)..his landlord and wife...changed our lives in a way I can never thank them for.
They were loaded, yet drove older cars.
Told us how when back in the 60s in Ohio..they worked 80 hrs a week each when they got their first home, and paid it off in a year.
We followed this model...Both of us worked at Grocery stores as clerks.. Took us just under 3 yrs to pay off our home. Always since then saved a minimum of a quarter of our incomes..I got to be a SAHM.
I realize that today this is not as easy..I get it, but the principle still stands.
He passed away a few years back, But I was already financially set by then.
Young people ..Read Millionaire next door, Total money makeover, The Tightwad Gazette...
Have a plan..any plan...follow through with it. Stay out of debt.

2020.05.31 18:38 BlazingPhoenix912 Creating your personal Ultimate Album

So a few days ago, I saw an article that was about crafting the ultimate album, based on the original track numbers of the albums they were released on. IE, “Welcome to the Jungle” was Track 1 on “Appetite for Destruction”, is their choice for Track 1 on the Ultimate Album.
I can’t find the article now, but it got me thinking about the success of the March Madness brackets here, and what my ultimate album might look like.
It took me most of the day yesterday going through my iTunes and narrowing it down. It was a lot of fun, but also very difficult. I’ll post the winner of each track, plus a few runners-up, and then you can use your imagination about some of the songs I had to leave on the cutting room floor.
Some notes about methodology – I tried to stick with original songs off of their original albums. No compilations, greatest hits, or covers (unless they’re just that good/well-known). My tastes lean heavily into the mid-90’s to 2010, so most of the songs are from that era and don’t include a lot of the newer bands. A number of the songs bleed into other genres. I am 100% confident that I overthought this, and will continue to overthink it.
To state the obvious: These are personal choices, and this is in no way, shape, or form an objective “best album of all time”. I welcome feedback and questions about my choices, but hope that conversation remains civil (I have no reason to believe otherwise, but sometimes things need to be said). I also wholeheartedly encourage everybody to contribute their own albums.
I’m going to do a countdown with a little commentary starting from the last track, but the TL:DR album is at the bottom.
Hope you enjoy!
Track 14: I originally figured I’d do about 12 songs, or however many I could get with a reasonable number of choices. Managed to get here.
Runners-up (alphabetical order because Excel):
A Day To Remember – “Leave all the Lights On”
New Found Glory – “Who am I?”
Fall Out Boy – “I’ve got all this Ringing in My Ears and None on my Fingers”
You Me at Six – “The Rumour”
Winner: Green Day – “Walking Contradiction”
Tough but not that tough. Not a ton of options, and the longevity takes it here.
Track 13:
Runners-up:
A New Found Glory – “No News is Good News”
A New Found Glory – “Boulders”
A Skylit Drive – “See You Around”
Finch – “What it is to Burn”

A number of decent options, this one just felt right.

Runners-up:
A New Found Glory – “The Story So Far”
A New Found Glory – “Don’t Let This Be the End”
Hit The Lights – “Make a Run for It”
Silverstein – “Rain Will Fall”
Yellowcard – “Cut Me, Mick”
Winner:
Simple Plan – “Perfect”
This was surprisingly difficult for the tail end of the album. I guess the adage “save the best for last” applies here. Starting to notice a theme – I freaking love NFG.
Track 11:
Runners-up:
Bayside – “Guardrail”
Emery – “Edge of the World”
Fall Out Boy – “Bang the Doldrums”
Green Day – “Wake Me Up When September Ends”
Hawthorne Heights – “Speeding Up the Octaves”
Rise Against – “Savior”
Winner:
Silverstein – “Call it Karma”
One of my favorite all time songs, it wasn’t that hard to pick the winner. Good selection of runners-up, though. Had to leave some good ones off the list.

Runners-up:
A New Found Glory – “Heartless at Best”
Coheed and Cambria – “A Favor House Atlantic”
Fall Out Boy – “I Slept with Someone in Fall Out Boy and All I Got Was This Stupid Song”

Silverstein – “Love With Caution”
Winner(s):
Green Day – “When I Come Around”
Thrice – “The Artist In The Ambulance”
Had trouble choosing and copped out. If I had to choose one, I’d probably go with Thrice and bump PATD or Coheed off the list.

A New Found Glory – “Persistent”
Brand New – “Guernica”
Less Than Jake – “Mostly Memories”
Taking Back Sunday – “You’re So Last Summer”

Green Day – “Basket Case”
Less Than Jake – “History of a Boring Town”

Winner:
Silverstein – “My Heroine”
I almost put Green Day as a co-winner again, but that seemed disingenuous. More tough cuts to get to this list. More NFG, Blink, FOB, Bayside, and Thrice.
Track 6:
Runners-up:
All Time Low – “Dear Maria, Count Me In”
Bayside – “Choice Hops and Bottled Self Esteem”
My Chemical Romance – “The Ghost of You”

Winner:
The Used – “Buried Myself Alive”
No contest on the winner for me. ADTR, Something Corporate, Underoath, and Yellowcard among the cuts.
Track 5:
Honorable Mention: Avenged Sevenfold – “Gunslinger” – not really Pop-Punk, Emo, or Post-Hardcore, but it’s a great song.
Runners-up:
A New Found Glory – “Ready and Willing II”
A New Found Glory – “Head on Collision”
Anberlin – “A Day Late”
Dashboard Confessional – “Rooftops and Invitations”
Green Day – “Welcome to Paradise”

My Chemical Romance – “I’m Not Okay (I Promise)”
My Chemical Romance – “Welcome to the Black Parade”
Thrice – “Stare at the Sun”
Winner:
Brand New – “The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows”
WTF. I continued to cut as I’m writing this post, and I still have that many left. Some of those are top 20 all time songs. I had to leave “Calling All Cars” (Senses Fail) and “Southern Weather” (The Almost) off. TWO FOB songs (“Hum Hallelujah” and “Nobody Puts Baby in the Corner”). Wow.

This is getting tough.

Blink 182 – “Dammit”

Taking Back Sunday – “MakeDamnSure”
The Fray – “How to Save a Life”
Thrice – “All That’s Left”
Yellowcard – “Ocean Avenue”
Winner:
Coheed and Cambria – “Welcome Home”
Hard choice here. Ultimately had to go with the epic feel of it, but I’m not solid on it. Any of these could do the job. So many songs cut here.
Track 2:
Runners-up:
A Day to Remember – “Right Back At It Again”
A New Found Glory – “Resurrection”
A New Found Glory – “My Friends Over You”

Winner:
A Day to Remember – “All I Want”
I categorically refuse to make any last minute cuts here. I can’t. So many good options. Any of these could sub in, depending on where I wanted the album to go. I suppose that holds true for any of top picks.
Track 1:
A New Found Glory – “Selfless”
A New Found Glory – “Right Where We Left Off”
Bayside – “Masterpiece”
Blink 182 – “Feeling This”
Dashboard Confessional – “Don’t Wait”

Green Day – “Nice Guys Finish Last”
Silverstein – “Smashed into Pieces”
Simple Plan – “I’d Do Anything”
Winner:
Emarosa – “The Past Should Stay Dead”
Gotta kick it in the teeth to start. That’s my justification and I’m sticking to it. Otherwise, I’ll be starting all over again.

Rivals
  • Stanford - By far our biggest rivalry and probably one of the top rivalries nationally (I like to think so anyway), due to the proximity of the two schools. The rivalry is so big that the yearly game is simply called “The Big Game”. Each year, the Big Game is played for posession of the Stanford Axe. The story behind the axe is actually pretty cool. The axe originally popped up on April 13, 1899, where Stanford students used it to decapitate a blue and gold strawman. When it resurfaced for a Cal-Stanford baseball game, Cal students manage to steal it, leading to a wild chase through the streets of San Francisco. Eventually, a Cal student posing as a girl was able to smuggle it across the bay to Berkeley where it rested in a bank vault for 31 years. Then, in 1930 a group of Stanford students known as the Immoral 21 used camera flashes and tear gas to blind the axe’s guards and steal the axe. In 1933, it was made the trophy for the Big Game. However it has still been stolen 7 times (3 by Cal, 4 by Stanford) since then. Even during the Big Game, the intensisty is obvious in the traditional “Stare Down”. While Cal won 7 of 8 matchups between 2002 and 2009. Stanford’s recent success has given them three straight victories. Stanford leads the all time series 58-46-11. Your mascot is still creepy. And your band is weird.
  • USC - More of a one-sided rivalry, but most Cal fans can’t stand USC. Probably because they beat us a lot of the time (they hold the record 65-30-5). Both teams have managed to spoil the others good seasons, though, which keeps this matchup intense.
  • UCLA (AKA Southern Campus) - Our little UC brothers to the South. After the awkward rip-off of our colors, songs, and mascot, we enjoy beating our offspring. While this rivalry is nowhere near as big as the Stanford Rivalry, it can lead to some great games. Last year, this game was the only bright spot in a bleak season for Cal, with a 43-17 Cal victory. UCLA holds the all time record 50-32-1.
2012 Season
Record: 3-9 Coach: Jeff Tedford, now fired. Replaced by Sonny Dykes.
2012 Roster
Key Players for the 2012 Season:
  • Keenan Allen- WR: Probably our most nationally known player and one of the lone bright spots on our offense, he was one of the few highlights of the past few years. As is mentioned at least a dozen times every Cal game, he is the half brother of QB Zach Maynard. Even though he sat out part of last season, he was still the leading receiver with 61 receptions last year for 737 yards and 6 TDs. A projected first-round pick, he was drafted in the third round (in what was considered a huge steal by many) by the San Diego Chargers. Here’s some Draft highlights and 2010-2011 highlights.
  • CJ Anderson - RB: The head of our running back tandem which also included Ise Sofele and Brendan Bigelow. On his own, he ran for 759 yards and 4TDs.
  • Nick Forbes - ILB: One of Cal’s emerging leaders on defense who had 85 tackles last season and 3 fumbles recovered.

2013 Roster
The Greats
Greatest Games:
  • 2003 USC vs Cal - highlights. Cal takes on #3 ranked USC and beats them 34-31 in Triple OT.
  • 1982 Stanford vs Cal - In John Elway’s last college game, Stanford was looking for a win to make them bowl eligible. Late in the 4th quarter with Cal leading 19-17, Elway completes on a 4th and 17 to put Stanford within field goal range. Elway calls time with 8 seconds left, leaving extra time for a second kick if Stanford drew a penalty. Stanford’s kick is good, giving them a 20-19 lead with 4 seconds left. However, Stanford received a critical 15-yard penalty for celebration. What follows is the most debated, most argued, most watched play of all college football, simply known as The Play. What followed was a flurry of five laterals, near tackles, and something about a trombonist.
  • 2009 Stanford vs Cal - Toward the end of Jeff Tedford’s tenure, highlight games became rarer and rarer. One of the last few was an upset over #17 Stanford on the road, when Mike Mohamed picked off Andrew Luck late to seal the victory. Toby Gerhart - amid a furious and memorable Heisman charge - rushed for 136 yards and 4 touchdowns that day, but it wasn’t enough to carry the Cardinal to a win, because Shane Vereen matched his production with 193 yards and 3 touchdowns on 42 carries. No, that is not a typo.
  • 1959 Rose Bowl : While Cal lost, this was the last time Cal went to the Rose Bowl, so it has to be mentioned.
  • 1993 Oregon vs Cal
Greatest Plays:
Greatest Players:
  • Craig Morton- QB. He was named an All-American QB even though Cal did not have a winning season during his tenure. He had a career 4,501 passing yards and took most of Cal’s all time passing records.
  • Russell White- RB. In his three seasons, he ran for 3,367 yards and 35 TDs and was recognized as a consensus All-American in 1991.
  • Joe Roth)-QB. In 1975, he led the most potent offense in the nation and took the Bears to a conference co-championship. After the 1976 season, he revealed that he had melanoma, but still honored his commitment to play in the Hula Bowl and Japan Bowl. He died roughly a month later at the age of 21.
  • Joe Kapp The QB for Cal’s last Rose Bowl team in 1959, Kapp went on to have a moderately successful professional career, and even had a Pro Bowl appearance. In 1982, he returned to his alma mater as a coach, where he went 20-34-1 in 5 seasons, memorably vowing to his players that he would not drink tequila until Cal saw another Rose Bowl. Sadly, he still hasn’t had any.
Recent Great Players:
  • QB Aaron Rodgers - Green Bay Packers - Everyone knows that Aaron Rodgers went to Cal, but not everyone knows he came to Cal by accident. True story - Jeff Tedford was at Butte Community College scouting another player (TE Garrett Cross), when he spotted Rodgers. And the rest is history. Cal saw many of their greatest moments in the 2000s with him under center, and they’ve been struggling to replace him ever since. No, seriously.
  • RB Marshawn Lynch - Seattle Seahawks - Beast Mode was born at Cal.
  • DB Nnamdi Asomugha - San Francisco 49ers - The long-venerated cornerback (and predecessor to Revis Island), Nnamdi Asomugha was once “the” premier cover corner in the NFL. Since his long career in Oakland, he’s had a somewhat rocky time with the Eagles (then again, no one on the Eagles had much of a year or two), and is now on the 49ers. It’ll be interesting to see what role he plays being back on the west coast this upcoming season.
  • WR Desean Jackson - Philadelphia Eagles - Desean Jackson’s known for his “turn on the afterburners” speed, his on-field antics, and also what NFL.com voters named the best play of all time (NY Giants fans, feel free to click the link but it’s probably not a very good idea)
  • TE Tony Gonzalez - Atlanta Falcons - Tony G will probably be one of the best tight ends to ever play football. Also played basketball for Cal alongside NBA star Jason Kidd (and newly minted Nets head coach) to a Sweet 16 berth.
  • C Alex Mack - Cleveland Browns - Alex Mack is one of the best centers in the game, also winner of the “academic Heisman”, the Draddy Trophy, while at Cal. Former two star recruit.
  • DB Thomas DeCoud - Atlanta Falcons - Thomas Decoud is an underrated ball-hawk (but a known sneaker aficionado) and one-half of the safety duo in the Atlanta secondary that generated so many Falcons defensive turnovers this season.
Greatest Coaches:
  • Andy Smith ) -1916-1925. 74-16-7 record. Coach of the “Wonder Teams” that won 3 PCC championships and 3 National Championships, as well as five undefeated seasons. In 1920, Cal outscored their opponents 510 to 14.
  • Lynn “Pappy” Waldorf - 1947-1956. 67-32-4 record. From 48-50, he led Cal to three undefeated regular seasons, 3 PCC championships, and three Rose Bowls (all losses). He also posted a 7-1-2 record over Stanford during his tenure.
  • Jeff Tedford - coach from 2002-2012. 82-57 record. Tedford took a Cal program that hadn’t had a winning team since 1993 and took them to 7 straight bowl games. He really turned the team around and coached some amazing quarterbacks, including Aaron Rodgers. He had the most bowl wins, conference wins, and games coached of any Cal coach. However, after a number of poor seasons combined with poor football player graduation rates, he was fired.
Traditions
  • Big Game: The Big Game is more than just the football matchup between Cal and Stanford. In the week prior to the game, Cal comes alive with a number of rallies and reunions. There are number of other sporting events against Stanford, including water polo, volleyball, ice hockey, and quidditch. Yes, quidditch. On the eve of the game, a giant bonfire is held.
  • Cal Band: The Cal band is a big part of Cal sporting events. It was first started in 1891, and adopted its high tempo style after facing Ohio State in the 1950 Rose Bowl. Here’s a really cool video of Cal Band’s 2007 Video Game Show. In addition, there is also the Cal Alumni band, made up of former Cal Band members.
  • The first incident of card stunts as performed at the 1910 Big Game at Cal. Card stunts have become popular around the country at halftime shows as a way of entertaining fans and making them feel a part of something, but they originated right here in Berkeley. Here are two of our more recent card stunts here and here
  • Carillon bells played 3 times a day. Fight songs on Friday at noon.
  • Naked Run at the Main Stacks Library during Finals week. This one’s pretty self explanatory.
  • Tightwad Hill. From the Stadium and From the cannon on the HillLocated right behind Memorial Stadium, many a cheapskate have been able to catch games from up here. One plus of the Tightwad Hill experience - you can drink all you like. After every Cal score, they shoot off a cannon that is located on the hill as well.

Random Trivia
  • Texas Rose Bowl Controversy. - Utter the name Mack Brown around Cal fans, and you’re likely to elicit a string of expletives. In 2004, the Aaron Rodgers led Bears went 10-1, and came within 7 yards of knocking off USC at The Colliseum. USC went on to make the BCS Championship Game, which meant that Cal, who finished #2 in the Pac-10, should have gone onto the Rose Bowl. But, thanks to a combination of Mack Brown’s lobbying late in the season, as well as a relatively unimpressive 26-16 win over Southern Mississippi (which was many voters’ first exposure to Cal that season, and in which Tedford decided to run the clock out instead of run up the score to sway voters) gave the Rose Bowl bid to Texas, instead. The Bears ended up in the Holiday Bowl, where they came out uninspired and unmotivated in a 45-31 loss to Texas Tech.
  • The stadium lies directly on top of the Hayward Fault, although $300 million of renovations occurred in the 2011 season to make it more earthquake safe.
  • The University is associated with the discovery of 16 chemical elements while as 6 chemical elements are associated with Cal and its past researchers (Californium, Seaborgium, Berkelium, Einsteinium, Fermium, Lawrencium)
  • Also, 71 Nobel Prizes (including 28 alumni Nobel laureates), 9 Wolf Prizes, 7 Fields Medals, 15 Turing Awards, 45 MacArthur Fellowships, 20 Academy Awards, and 11 Pulitzer Prizes. Yup.
What Is and What is to Come
2012 was a terrible season that began with high expectations of the veteran RB core of Isi Sofele and C.J. Anderson, and the hopes of increased efficiency from QB Zach Maynard who would be throwing (for his 2nd season no less) to his half brother WR Keenan Allen. However, as the season progressed, despite the more-than competent talent on its rosters, the Bears kept losing games due to inconsistent play calling, equally bad quarterback performance, and terrible O-Line work that ended up making Zach Maynard one of the most sacked QBs in the entire FBS. However, flashes of brilliance were evident as Cal took on #25-ranked UCLA at home during the homecoming game. I myself was there and the expectations were low coming into the game even from die-hard Cal football fans. Despite that, Cal shocked us all and was able to shine in all 3 phases of the game, showcasing Zach Maynard’s best performance of the year, as well as Kameron Jackson’s DB play (after replacing starting CB Marc Anthony due to injuries).
2013 is a new time for Cal football; new systems have been brought in along with the all-new coaching staff. On offense, the Bears are switching from Tedford’s old pro-style scheme to Dykes/Franklin’s new up-tempo spread. On defense, the Bears are switching from a 3-4 to a 4-3 scheme. Furthermore, despite the coaching change, Cal was able to take in talent on both sides of the ball (the Golden Bears’ Rivals recruiting class ranked 23rd in the nation in 2012, and 32nd in 2013). With its emphasis on beefing up what was pretty much a wet cardboard excuse of an O-Line we had last season, we took in a lot of O-line players, however, concerns regarding the offensive center position remain since during Spring practice quite a few of the observed snaps were errant snaps that were either too high or too low. From being at the majority of spring practices, these were pretty painful to watch, and hopefully the issue will be remedied by the time the season starts.
The lack of depth at the RB position is another concern, since besides Brendan Bigelow and Daniel Lasco being the only potential quality starters, Khalfani Muhammad was the only RB recruited this season (though that being said, he’s the 100m and 200m California state track champion). Plus, after explosive play throughout the 2012 season, Bigelow is expected to get more touches, and thus a more impressive season with his explosive speed and agility.
The Golden Bears’ receiving corps loses star wideout Keenan Allen to the draft, but still remains a diverse and promising group. With the installation of the new up-tempo spread offense, look to returning receivers Bryce Treggs, Chris Harper, Kenny Lawler, Richard Rodgers, (and quite a bit of depth to back that up) to be standout targets in the new Bear Raid offense. All in all, a solid group here.
From the defensive standpoint, Cal looks solid in the front seven; this is a talented group on the defensive line and the linebacking corps (especially the latter, heh, it helps switching from a 3-4 to a 4-3 scheme in that respect). Also, Penn State transfer Khairi Fortt, who sat out last year due to injuries, should be slated to start day one at weakside LB across from MLB Nick Forbes, who has risen up to become one of the leaders of this Cal defense. However, both starting veteran cornerbacks in the secondary declared for the draft this year (Steve Williams, who ran the fastest unofficial 40m time for a DB at the combine this year, 5th round - San Diego Chargers, and Marc Anthony, 7th round - Baltimore Ravens), so the Bears’ will have two “new” starting corners in the form of Kam Jackson and Stefan McClure, the latter whose ACL injury forced him to sit out his entire 2012 season. Both showed starting-level promise in Spring practice, and will need to, in order to face some of the high-powered offenses in the Pac-12. Safeties Alex Logan and the exceptionally hard-hitting Avery Sebastian round out the secondary, though as a entire unit, depth is still largely unproven, since admittedly, this year's recruiting class was relatively thin at the defensive backs position.
Finally, that brings us to quarterback, which is a tad ironic, since, well, no one QB has really emerged as the definite starter for Cal yet. Now don’t get me wrong here, Spring practice has showed us that we have three very talented quarterbacks, though each of those three QBs have distinctly different skill sets. Highly-touted redshirt freshman Zach Kline has a veritable cannon for an arm and a year under his belt with the team, incoming freshman Jared Goff played in an Air-Raid type system in HS and has familiarity with the system that will be run by Dykes/Franklin, and redshirt junior Austin Hinder is the most athletic and mobile of the three and was often lined up in WRB/TE during spring practice. Klinedergoff, as some of us have resigned to calling it, Cal’s three-headed QB cerberus, if you will. Only time will tell who grabs the reins of the starting job come fall.
Sonny Dykes was brought in as the new HC for an ailing team that not only failed to perform on the field but also off the field academically. Right off the bad, he presents a different philosophy in interacting with fans, while Tedford was relatively aloof, Dykes has already been know to come down around campus and mingle with the Cal community.
The new Air-Raid style offense has been nicknamed “Bear Raid” and expectations are that Cal will be able to put more yards on the field and more points on the scoreboard since, well, Cal was 89th in passing yards and 93rd (23.0 pts/game) in scoring last season. Dykes/Franklin’s Louisiana Tech team was ranked 1st in the nation in scoring offense (51.5 pts/game) and 3rd in passing yards (those are not typos, I repeat, not typos), though only 119th in points scored against (Cal was 98th). That’s where newly-minted defensive coordinator and former Wisconsin linebackers coach Andy Buh comes into play, leading a Badgers defense that was ranked in the top 20 (17th) in the country last season in points against. That being said, this newly revamped Cal team on all ends has a potentially bright future coming up ahead, and hopefully will become a team to be reckoned with in the Pac-12 and beyond in the upcoming season.
