Whoa!!!!

Although, ESPN+ is having a technical glich right now

It's on ESPN+

I'm going to predict an upset: UCD 28, Cal 27. Why? Just in case I can get credit for being the first one to predict it. If I'm wrong, no one will remember, but if I'm right...

No one will care!

The 20.5 point spread is just about the same as the last match between Cal and the Aggies in 2022, won by the Bears 34-13. I think the closest UCD ever got was in 2019 when it was 27-13. I'd be happy with something like that this time.

Because both my parents went to Cal and I grew up being a huge fan, I used to watch all Cal football games on the Pac-12 Network and root for them against any other team but the Aggies. This year, I'm so disgusted with the breakup of the Pac-12 and the whole avaricious, modern nature of FBS football, that I plan to stick exclusively to watching UC Davis football.

Don't forget that Cal also retained the surprisingly good Fernando Mendoza at QB, possibly their best since Jared Goff. He has two good returning pass catchers in Trond Grizzell and Jack Endries.

An Archbishop Mitty grad and winner of a lot of honors there. Surprising how little he got to play at Princeton. Only 49 minutes in 10 games.

Three Pac-12--oops, I mean former Pac-12 opponents. Now one ACC, one Big-10 and one Pac-12 opponent.

Good to know. Thanks.

I wonder if this game will be on ESPN+?

I think I read that student athletes have a 60 day window to decide on where they plan to transfer, but is that 60 days after they enter the portal or 60 days after the portal closes (May 1?)?

Cal might be in a good position to do better in the ACC when it comes to football, though,

I was just trying to be funny.

Maybe he wanted to play against ACC teams?

Has anyone who went to Australia to play ever used it as a stepping stone to the NBA? I'm not talking about Australians like Patty Mills or Andrew Bogut, who went to college here then made the NBA, but someone like Eli.

Something about being an Aggie must create loyalty. The campus? The coach? The quality of education? All of the above?

The Honolulu paper has printed several articles about Coach Monson. Not sure why aside from his having been a Big West coach. I suspect some writers out here are fond of him from past contacts. So I am surprised that there was no mention of this in the Honolulu paper. (Possibly I missed it if it was a small item.)

Carter was probably not happy with his playing time, only 22 minutes for all of last season. Hope he flourishes wherever he goes. He made 100% of his 3 point attempts for the Ags.

I've believed that for going on 25 years now.
