Around SBN: The Animated GIFs Of January

YouTube Thursday -Leaning Horizontally Out Of The Open Car Door Of The Volvo Doesn't Have The Same Ring

Anytime I think of Washington, I think of the 2006 game.  I try not to think of the 2007 game, that one sucked.  But man, 2006.  Oh man, 2006.  That was just, well, amazing.  Ya, sure, the first 3 quarters weren't the best.  Fair enough.  But who cares.  The sweet embrace of nostalgia lets me forget all that.  And only remember the end of the 4th quarter and the OT.  And, of course, this:


Also, we've started again with that posting.  Check it:  Interview with Gary Tyrrell, Women's B-Ball PrimerBeastmode. Top25.  Eating The Enemy.  Fake PAT One.  Fake PAT Two. RRoundtable.

Star-divide

Of course, that's not how I remember it.  I was there, so it was more like this:

I love how the AP described it:

"After Bishop finally fell down with the final interception, Lynch commandeered the cart used to carry injured players, saying he planned to pick up his exhausted linebacker.

The junior tailback wanted to ghost ride -- a tradition in his native Oakland in which drivers lean horizontally out of their open car doors -- but the cart has no doors. So Lynch jubilantly left turn tracks on Cal's artificial turf while the student section went crazy."

Man, that day was just crazy!  Here is the final interception by Dezzie Bishop.  Well, at least, in theory it's here, you can't really see much:


But here is the real game winner by Marshawn:


And the Miracle Hail Mary Catch, from the UDub perspective:


 

Washington had one moment of national relevance this year.  Not that they are happy with it.


Here are some highlights of Oregon-UDub:


Of course, no discussion of Washington would be complete without watching a few videos of the 1989 game, which I completely and randomly stumbled upon.  Perhaps some of our more, ahem, experienced readers like SoCal Oski and California Pete can help us understand what it was like for this game, which apparently was affected by the earthquake.  Note: a) that nobody is there and b)both of these videos are bad for Cal.  Ai!

Of course, there's always the coach:

As a Cal fan of the Holmoecaust, nothing (NOTHING!) would make me happier than to watch Cal CRUSH UDub to make them 0-12 in perhaps Ty's last game ever.  It is unbelievable that it has come to this.  I guess he never should have left Stanford.  Praise be to Bak Bak that he did!

I really love dixieland jazz.  I love the seeming simplicity that is, in reality, quite complex.  The simplexity, as you might say.  So, bring in some modernity to it, in the form of the Rebirth Brass Band or the Dirty Dozen Brass Band and things can get ROCKIN'

I mean check out this sweet video of the Rebirth Brass Band playing in the street with a bunch of men in seersucker suits dancing along.  That is SO PIMP.  I love seersucker!

The energy there is so strong, you can't help but be sucked in. 

And here is the Dirty Dozen Brass Band.  I like them even more, but they don't have videos as good energy-wise.  Still, their music is so sick.

And way to post that Udub-BYU clip. Still gets me mad.

I attended the 1989 CAL-UW game

If memory serves, it was about 4 days after the Loma Prieta earthquake. The Bay Area was still in a state of shock and disarray at that time. Among other things, the Bay Bridge was still shut down and there was still a search for bodies going on at a collapsed section of I-880 between Oakland and Emeryville. I have a vague recollection of talk that the game would be postponed, but CAL and the Pac-10 decided to go forward with it. Things did not feel normal that day. I was a CAL student at the time, and decided to go to the game because — well — that’s what I did. I remember thinking as my friends and I walked to the stadium that it seemed like there weren’t many people around. And then when the game started, the stadium looked VERY empty; honestly, I thought the announced attendance of 20,000 was a little high. On top of everything else, it rained in the 1st half. There was a downpour at one point. Funny part was, I don’t remember seeing very many people scramble to take cover. The ones who attended under the circumstances were the heartiest souls anyway, so a little rain wasn’t going to drive them away. Weather got better as the game went on, though — unfortunately, the game didn’t. I believe we had a lead early (I think we blocked a punt for a TD at the south end zone), but U-Dub came back. The Lelo Lang pick six was a killer.

Realizing just how much Aaron Rodgers spoiled us.

The day Bear fans earned their stripes

I was there, too. I don’t remember anything about the game except that it was miserable. But as recent graduates and devoted Young Blues, my friends and I felt like it was our duty to attend. You know the whole line about not letting the terrorists “win”. Well, I guess we had the same attitude: “Don’t let the earthquake win.” Weird times, to say the least.

P.S. It’s not like Cal was any good that year either. The debut of Russell White and Mike Pawlawski was still a year away.

Go Bears!

We may not have been good in 1989...

…but that was a historic season in one respect. That year, the “fish clap” was born on a September afternoon when we beat Wisconsin (the pre-Barry Alvarez version).

The theme of 1989 — Troy Taylor would throw for 300+ yards every week, but we’d lose.
