Pregame notes

Some positive pregame news here as both Tobias Merriweather and Kyion Grayes are going through warmups with the Bears today. Neither one did so against Oregon State. As I said earlier in the week, Mike Bloesch definitely sounded bullish about both guys at least having a shot to play this week. Fernando Mendoza was a little bit coy when I asked about getting them back too.

Would provide a boost for the offense even if they're able to go for a handful of snaps.

Cade Uluave and Ryan McCulloch appear to be ready to give it a go as well today. First time in a while that Cal has been this healthy.

Can we talk about branding (yet again)?

Earlier this week, I saw a graphic of the script Cal logo on a silhouette of California's borders in a recruiting thread IIRC. I thought it looked really sharp and loved it! About time Cal started taking ownership of the state of which it is the flagship university.

This morning I'm watching highlights of the Cal Poly MBB game and I see the same California borders graphic with a script California on it, but then the camera panned up, and I see a giant script Cal logo under the scoreboard. I see a scripted "golden bears" on the court, but the uniforms have a Block CALIFORNIA.

But then the Football helmets have the script Cal on a bear claw, a script Cal, or a Block C. I get it if the Block C is used one game per year for Roth game, but three helmet logos? WTF?

Who the hell is in charge of branding for the Athletic Department?
