Robert Briggs Tribute

Erin of Erin's Cal Goodies is a great blog. Moreover:

Hello again-

I just got confirmation that the Pac-10 has approved the entire Cal football team to have Bob’s initials, BB, on the back of their helmets for tomorrow’s home game vs. Colorado State.

I think this is an amazingly sweet and wonderful gesture of the football team. The person whose idea it was is Mike McHugh, the Director of Football Operations and a friend of mine. He told Tedford of the idea and Tedford readily agreed. Bob obviously meant a lot to Tedford, his administration, and the team.

There will also be a moment of silence during halftime for Bob, with a picture of him on the videoboard.

Please pass this information on to your friends who are attending the game. In the craziness of announcements, I want to make sure as many people know that this is all happening for Bob.

Nice

Thankfully the conference didn’t put up any sort of stink about this thing, because it wouldn’t have surprised me much if they did.

It’s a very nice tribute to a true Old Blue, and I can’t imagine anything that the late Mr. Briggs would have appreciated more.

Go Bears!

Not to be argumentative, but why couldn’t they have used his middle initial as well?!?

It would have been BOB!

It's seriously too bad that there's no building or complex around that might have a large supply of sports drinks.

Actually

It would be ROB.

It is nice to see that the Pac10 recognizes tradition and spirit. It was not too long ago (early 1980s) that the commissioners considered (at the behest of U$C) banning the “flash device” aka Bomb used out of North Tunnel at Pregame. They were ultimately, but reluctantly, persuaded to allow the Cal Band’s use of the flash device at home games only.
