Cal is taking on the Desert Storm! GO BEARS! Here is the Pre-Game Thread.
Since it's not a home game, some of us are near computers, so we don't have to put up all those threads at once. Plus, they have this new thing where you can schedule a post to publish at a certain time. So, we'll try that. Also, happy birthday to Yellow Fever!
That said, use this post to discuss the game first quarter action. And don't forget to vote in our California Golden Blogs Insta-Poll! Democracy In Action, people!
If you missed some posts this week, here are a few to check out. Nate Longshore, doing a Peyton Manning? Blog Roundtable. Inside Cal's Numbers.

Bored during everyone’s halftime? Still waiting for the Cal game to start? JO has some reading material for you. I couldn’t get most of the links to work, but maybe the rest of you will have better luck.

No Pressure guys...
but Miller is calling you guys out…
You’d never hear it from Pac-10 administrators, but the conference sure could use a California victory at Arizona tonight.
No. 25 Cal (4-1, 2-0) is the conference’s only other ranked team besides USC and its only unbeaten team in conference play.
Also, the Bears lone defeat at Maryland doesn’t look so bad these days, particularly after the Terrapins whipped No. 21 Wake Forest 26-0 Saturday and are now 5-2 overall (we’ll just ignore the 31-zip loss to Virginia).
California has won four of five in the series but its last defeat at Arizona in 2006 — a 24-20 heartbreaker — ended up costing the then-eighth-ranked Bears their first Rose Bowl berth since 1958.
