Cal Wins 111th Big Game, 37-16, over Stanford



I am so proud to be a California Golden Bear today! The Bears beat the Cardinal in the 111th Big Game today! ROLL ON YOU BEARS!! I was saddened a few weeks ago when we loss to USC, also losing our chances at a Rose Bowl with the game ending in our defeat. Sometimes it's really hard to be a Cal fan. But, I am no fair-weather fan. My body bleeds BLUE and GOLD. Coach Tedford did a great job coaching the Bears and Jahvid Best had an AMAZING game. Jahvid Best rushed for 201 yards and scored three touchdowns in the second half, and California kept archrival Stanford out of the postseason with a victory in the 111th Big Game.

Kevin Riley threw three touchdown passes for the Golden Bears (7-4, 5-3 Pac-10), who scored 27 straight points after halftime to beat the Cardinal for the sixth time in seven meetings under coach Jeff Tedford.

Cal emphatically reclaimed the Axe with a victory that carried an extra measure of sweetness because it ensured a seventh straight losing season for Stanford. I always feel better when Cal has a bad season but manages to beat the Cardinal. I wish I could have made it to the game, but there is always next year. Great work Bears! I am so proud of you!!

GO BEARS!!

Big deal, Cal beat Stanford. They were supposed to. Big Game is a highlight for both Bay Area PAC-10 teams, but does not have the enthusiam of The Civil War. Speaking of Oregon teams, Oregon St. gave Cal a beat down last weekend (like last year), and just beat Arizona today. OSU is one win away from a PAC-10 title and Rose Bowl appearance. A Cal fan like you really shouldn't consider this much of a year. Javid Best is exciting to watch and played well, but is behind OSU's Quizz Rodgers in yards and TDs.
Stephy, drop Cal and that dirty moldy Bear Oski and throw your support and attention to Beavers Football, at least the rest of this year...
