Image via farm4.static.flickr.com So we've gone through our top ten Cal Football Moments of 2008. Do you guys agree with the list or think it needs some drastic overhaul? Think we've missed anything? And vote--which of these top 10 moments (or others) best define the 2008 season for you? If you guys need help remembering particular moments, Danzig's highlight reels are a good place to start: Emerald Bowl, UW, Big Game, Oregon, UCLA, Arizona, ASU, CSU, Maryland, Wazzu. PRD74 also has highlights of the remaining games (Oregon State, USC, MSU). Comment away and tell us what you think! Again, a look back at the list:

Rec’d for Pain Train.
While the rides on the Pain Train and Brock Mansion Party Yacht have been fun, I think its time I hop on the BakBakcycle.

Yeah, that was my first thought too. Great way to end the year.

I’m surprised neither of those made the top-10. The fumble recovery was one of my three favorite moments from last season.

Ditto. There is nothing more awesome than a 300lb man heaving hurling prancing his way towards the endzone with all the grace of a dock barge wounded giraffe delicate hummingbird.

That final Longshore pass was pretty cool. Glad to see him go out on a high note.

True - I was really happy to see that after all he'd been through.
I haven't seen that many tear-stained dollar bills since my dad hired a stripper for my uncle's funeral.

I can’t believe we (the Marhshawnthusiasts) forgot about the Emerald Bowl winning touchdown. I think that should probably be a Top 10 moment.

A Couple of favorites:
Verran Tucker’s catch vrs SC
Best easily outrunning Migh. St. defenders to score a 5-yard td.
Pain Train’s forced fumble vrs. Miami
And my Favorite – Vrs. Wazzou Best having a defender on either side, splitting them, with them running into and tackling each other.
We all dream of being a child again, even the worst of us, the worst... perhaps... most of all.

That catch against SC would have made my top 10 easily over the majority of this top 10.

I liked J.Ross' hurdles
I can’t remember what game(s), but I think there were two occassions where JRoss hurdled defenders, no?
Jahvid Best is so awesome, he makes me want to strangle a mountain ox with my bare hands!

I remember at least one, although I think that one was called back due to an unrelated penalty.
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!

Yeah, it was against UCLA. Its funny that it always gets used in highlight clips, but the play actually ended up being a 10 yard loss (I believe it was an illegal block in the back by Riley. A pretty obvious call).

Very obvious, was fun watching the crowd get excited over the run then the depression setting in from the penalty.

Best’s UCLA run where he juked half the team and leaped over a defender before diving into the endzone was pretty sick too.

Not a moment, but Cal’s first drive of the second half against USC, up to the Mystery Penalty. I mean, it was all downhill after the touchdown catch, but I think we can all agree on how crazy awesome it was to see Riley slice and dice the vaunted USC defense.

When Kevin Riley threw two interceptions in a 20 second span to end the game against Oregon State
That was my favorite Cal moment. :)

Guy Gardner is TOAST.
If Hal Jordan’s down for the count, Guy is dead meat. Just saying.

Hey last time I read BtD, the Beavs were a LOCK for the Rose Bowl.
How’d that turn out?

Two moments
The beginning of the Miami game where Cal went up 14-0 and the end when the Pain Train cometh and Longshore threw his final TD and pass in a Cal uniform.
Nothing else happened in between.
In other words, Go Bears!

Please, do not compound Hydro's pain
He’s on his fourth cup of scotch brooding over this.

If this enables his scotch habit, this is a huge favor for him.

Marshawnthusiasts,
Are you planning on doing a top-10 or top-5 moments for men or women’s basketball?

We have a list of moments. However, Ive found it remarkably difficult to motivate the others to help craft the roundtables for each moment. If you wish to help, dont hesitate to email me. Also, did you go to the Coaches Tour?

I’ll keep that in mind. I might be interested in helping create a top-5 moments post for each basketball team. I went to the Tour and I’ll try to get a fanshot up about it sometime tomorrow (or today, I suppose, since it’s already past midnight).
