At the Sacramento Grid Club last November I talked to Vince Delgado, who played in that 1986 Big Game, and is still friends with Kevin Brown. He said Brown’s Cal buddies like to call him “BGH” (Big Game Hero), because it embarrasses him.

Well, only a couple of seasoned vets were rostered ...

… namely, Juniors Mark Richter and Alex Aronson.

Coach Jack Clark threw the big guns against Pac-12 newcomer Utah to avenge the invitational sevens championship loss last June.

Between the now-traditional season-opener against the Humboldt State Lumberjacks (cancelled this time around) and the UCLA tournament, Clark gets a top-to-bottom look at all his players in action against opponents.

Yes, it the UCLA match was scary. To his credit, though, Clark mostly let the starters finish, making only two subs at the fullback and lock positions.

Redemption came Sunday when the Bears handed UCLA a 53-5 defeat in the tourney final.

If we somehow beat UW tomorrow my head would start concocting crazy scenarios that I have no right to concoct.

Also, per Kenpom’s conference champ odds: SO YOU’RE SAYING THERE’S A CHANCE!

I just hope Chicago doesn’t win tomorrow, because the whole “Go Bears!” thing would get very confusing.

How ya gonna keep 'em down on the Farm, after they've seen Berkeley?

A Chicago win could mean no Bears in the Super Bowl. GO Seabears!

PacBears win, and tomorrow we root for the SeaBears.

Are there any Bears with the Jets and Pats still?

Coach M Returning as OL Coach?

I have no idea where to put this, but a poster on the Scout board who has generally been quite reliable with his insider information regarding the Cal football program just posted earlier today that Cal’s new OL coach was going to be announced soon, with this interesting tidbit: “Who says you can’t go home again?”

I would think that means Coach M?
