The narrative around Cal football has been in the dumps for a while — the last few months were especially bad, when it became clear that we were an afterthought nationally and barely got to stay a P5 program.
But the last week has broken really well for us. We found a home in the ACC, dispersing some of the existential dark clouds looming over the program. We won our season opener convincingly and put enough points on the scoreboard to make even casual fans look up in surprise. And now we have a nationally televised home opener against an SEC school that, while traditionally considered a power, is entirely beatable. Let’s fill up the stadium and get the ESPN crew reminiscing about the Tedford glory days. If we hit that $1 million NIL target this weekend, that should be a big talking point too.
Roll on You Bears!!
