Rose Bowl

What I want to see this year is football players channeling their inner Olivia Jade and posting “What I got in my Cheez-It Bowl goody bag” videos on YouTube.

The inaugural This Ain’t No Picnic music festival played host, at Pasadena’s Rose Bowl, to a wide array of Los Angeles’ favored indie darlings on Aug. 27 and 28.

Pressure from the Bruins made the Bears’ offense look like a shell of the one that lit up Stanford’s defense for 41 points just one week ago.

Cal has one final game: USC at home, where it will honor the seniors that have played such a pivotal role in the program over the last four (or five, or six or even seven years). While there may not be real stakes to play for, the Bears will certainly want to win for the seniors.

Like its quarterback, Dorian Thompson-Robinson, the rest of UCLA’s offense can run the ball just as well as it can sling it.

Head in the Clouds 2021 proved itself the strongest iteration yet of one of the newest festivals to emerge in the Los Angeles area.

After an abbreviated and disappointing 2020 season, the Bears appear to have a chip on their shoulders.

It’s that blind optimism at the start of each fall that this is the year Cal football will reach its first Rose Bowl since 1958. It’s also looking for where it all went wrong and harboring thoughts of “maybe next year.”

At some point, we must look in the mirror and ask ourselves what our priorities are if we’re playing football now.

Cal’s 2019 regular season curtain call was a smashing success, and the Bears are heading to a bowl game with a 7-5 record for the second straight season.
