Because we've run out of ideas (and how!)
We present YouTube Thursday. A random collection of YouTube videos or as I like to call it, "Filler." Here's the dirty little secret of blogging, we all have filler. Even EDSBShabbat (New Slogan: The Best Sports Knowledge The Southern Jewry Has To Offer!) has its Mustache Wednesdays.
Which, bee tee dubya, reminds me. Does anybody know if EDSBShabbat has ever used 19th century German-Polish Jewish composer Moritz Moszkowski for their Mustache Wednesdays? That dude has an uber-sweet stache. Check it out:

Ok, enough about mustaches and the Southern Jews who love them. Let's get to the filler!
You might have heard of this play, of no known nomenclature:
Well, if you never went to Cal, watched a sports-related clip show, and/or just traveled forward in time from a Moritz Moszkowski recital (What an unbelievable Etude, I know!), here's more "context" to the above play:
A whole 10 minute video of various Marshawn clips, both on and off the field. It's the most amazing thing I've seen since I last looked in the mirror:
BEASTMODE:
I'm not sure anybody can explain to the newer Cal fans what it felt like to win this game:
That was beyond anything ever. Words cannot describe. I loved how the fans stormed the field with like 11 seconds left. And they all stormed the sides of the field much earlier, outlining the playing surface in humanity. I've never seen anything like that before. I could write a dissertation on that afternoon. For all of the great successes Cal has had since then, that might be the single greatest game Tedford has ever won.
Here's something I never thought I'd see. A Tribute To Ravens QB Kyle Boller (bee tee dubya, my wife waited on the Boller clan the night we won Big Game 2002, the restaurant comped the whole meal and they tipped her nothing........................):
Some sweet vids on Cal-USC 03:
And the clear high point of the 2007 season:
I love Dan Fouts showing more denial than Terry McAullife. God I can't seem to find that video of the Touchback from the Oregon student section where the fans are going crazy and then the touchback happens and they immediately become quiet and you can hear somebody yelling "OH NO!!! OH MY GOD!" in the background. Man, do I love that video. Although swap Oregon and touchback for OSU and Riley gets tackled at goal-line and you probably have a similar Cal video. Ai!
So, there we go. Some delightful off-season filler. YouTube Thursday. Get used to it.

2002 Big Game
Yeah, the 2002 Big Game is definitely one of the highest high points for Cal fans who’ve been around a while. I don’t know if I’ve mentioned it before, but the picture on the banner for my blog (http://excusemeformyvoice.com/blog for those who don’t know me) of me cheering with by brother looking on was taken by him with his cell phone right as everyone rushed the field at that game.
Damnit Rags, I wanted to leave all his replies to illegally inflate the responses to my post. Now, I look lame. :(!

I’m sorry, I’ll try to comment-fail again in the future and forget to pay attention to that preview button.
And for relevance, a Boller as a Raven tribute? Really?
It’s the most amazing thing I’ve seen since I last looked in the mirror:
hahaha thats awesome, can I use that sometime?
Nice highlights overall … but how could you leave out one that still makes me giggle like a seven year old girl whenever I see it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lo9e2Jf7R0o
Every single stinking time I see DeCoud take that Bosworth punk out, it just brings a smile to my face. And watching him do the palooka shuffle toward the sideline only to face-plant again is priceless.
Go Bears!
Colvin Fumble Video
Here’s the link for the video of the Oregon fan screaming “OH MY GOD! OH NO!” after Colvin fumbled the ball out of the back of the endzone:

For us Old Blues
Those of us now on the wrong Golden side of 40 (or 50, or 60, ... ) will long remember this game as one our most cherished highlights. Tedford’s first Big Game win sure was sweet, but Joe Kapp’s last may have been even sweeter. (Not to take away from Kapp’s uber-famous first.) Kapp wasn’t the greatest football coach, but he undeniably was, and still is, the greatest Golden Bear. Inspiring until the end. Let’s get this man some tequila!
Go Bears!
