Evan Weaver does not mince words in victory. After leading his team in tackles yet again, the California Golden Bears linebacker was quite ecstatic to share how he felt after beating Stanford.

Weaver also got to see his dad in the postgame mob at midfield!
Nikko Remigio, the unsung hero of the Big Game, was candidly honest about how he felt.
I asked @CalFootball WR Nikko Remigio what he was doing amidst this mayhem: “To be honest with you, I was crying like a baby.”

Remigio had nine catches, 157 yards and a touchdown, the first Cal receiver to break 100 yards in a game this season and the highest receiving total in any Big Game since Geoff MacArthur went wild in 2003. Watch the rest of Remigio’s postgame presser below.
