Golden Nuggets: 2010 Cal Football Schedule Finalized

Cal announced the 2010 football schedule, which features a few changes since the last time we saw it.  Cal now plays Washington on the Saturday after Thanksgiving instead of Sept 25th and plays Washington St on November 20th instead of November 6th.  While it may be snowing when Cal heads up to the Palouse, it will be better than playing 11 weeks in a row.

2010 California Football Schedule

Sept. 4 - UC Davis
Sept. 11 - Colorado
Sept. 18 - at Nevada
*Oct. 2 - at Arizona
*Oct. 9 - UCLA
*Oct. 16 - at USC
*Oct. 23 - Arizona State
*Oct. 30 - at Oregon State
*Nov. 13 - Oregon
*Nov. 20 - at Washington State
*Nov. 27 - Washington
*Dec. 4 - Stanford
*Pac-10 Game; Times and Television Broadcast Arrangements TBA
All Home Games at Memorial Stadium

After the jump we have another update on Jorge's knee, the benching of UCLA's starting point guard for the start of tomorrow's game, JO's year-end assessment of Kevin Riley, and more.

booo at playing Thanksgiving weekend

The student section will be so depleted. Did we really have to move the Washington game? Did we owe them a favor or something?

We needed a mid-season bye more than a late season bye.

Good Scheduling

Looks like we are heading the way of the SEC. A few cupcakes before we get to the main course. I like it.
Plus Big Game at the end of the season as is Bak Bak’s will.
9 win season again!

I wouldn't consider Nevada or Colorado cupcakes

Neveda is going to be a big test for our defense as they can put up yards and points.

UC Davis, ugh.

…and not the school, but the level of opponent.

What is Cal’s ongoing fascination with the FCS games? Aren’t there weak FBS teams that Cal could schedule?

Probably not. It was a short-notice scheduling, those opponents aren’t easy to come by.

While the final 2009 tally shows an 8-5 record, when you toss out EWU, we really only beat 7 FBS teams, FWIW…

At least this time the FCS opponent should bring a good fan base. Better than Eastern Washington.

Remember when we played Baylor in 2002?

That game was over in the first quarter.

The FCS games give the not-FBS team a chance to shine against a team that is seen as the generally more powerful.
Remember Stanfurd vs. UC Davis in 2005? That’s what the FCS teams wish to do.

I heard Tedford say at last year’s Cal coaches tour that he prefers an A-B-C out of conference schedule where the team will play one A level team, one B level team, and one C level team. With A level being a BCS conference team, B level being a 1A non BCS conference team, and C level being a 1AA team.

Very likely sell-out

Davis alums in the Bay Area are super pumped for this game; seems like Sandy knew she could get a lot more seats filled w/ Davis visiting, as opposed to a non-local FCS team

by calbeers05753 on Jan 6, 2010 8:08 AM PST up reply actions  

heck, I kinda like it myself for some of the historical overtones, back when Davis used to be University Farm. Besides, if we can beat both Davis and UCLA, we can be the king of the Division 1 UCs. ;)

I think we already beat UCSB in bball, too.

So what can you say?

by Spazzy Mcgee on Jan 6, 2010 4:12 PM PST up reply actions  

At least we'll have a better record

I’m a big fan of playing the Junior University last, it’s the way it should be. I hated playing UW after the big game.

As for Colorado, they’re a mid level big 12 team and and Nevada is a top level WAC team. Not the best match-ups but a good warm up. (If we dont lose)

As for UC Davis? Come on, I’m not asking to play a power house but at least something that I can point to and say "At least we don’t beat up on division II teams like the Big 10’ .

I was a big fan of playing TN or MO or one of those southern teams and getting some exposure for the east coast voters.

And remember "Go Cal"

by 00Bear on Jan 6, 2010 2:10 PM PST reply actions  

I've got a 5 win season in mind

Davis, UCLA, Az St, Wazzu, Stanford

Can’t wait for spring ball to watch Sweeny shine!
