Joe Kapp was among three Bears to first represent California in the Super Bowl | Tony Tomsic-USA TODAY Sports
A less-than-ideal accomplishment for the Bears in the Pros coincides with our struggles at Memorial Stadium. Despite the struggles of the California Golden Bears to be ranked or relevant in college football, we’ve had a puzzlingly rich history of success in the NFL. For instance, for the 21 NFL seasons from 1999–2019, 14 of those Super Bowl s featured a Golden Bear on the winning ...

Where do we go from here.... CF Montréal was dealt more bad news this week as the roster exodus continues. Kei Kamara came out on social media and requested a trade.

While we don’t know specifics, the club looks likely to acquiesce the trade and could be on the look again for a striker. Kei performed relatively great as CFM’s striker both in spot starts and mor...

There is no more rivalry between the Cincinnati Bearcats and the Miami Redhawks. Just take a look at the student sections from last Saturday’s game if there is any doubt. Maybe back in the 90’s or early 2000’s when Miami fielded competitive teams and Cincinnati was just starting to navigate their football program, this rivalry meant something to the fans of both schools, but this game is about as important to both fanbases as K eeping ...

Football is religion. For most of the country, football is a way of life, something that people eat and breathe daily.

I know what I said...shut up. I wasn’t all that wrong. Ok fine...the PTSD from past events was too much for me.
I was wrong, but not by a whole lot.
Oklahoma State started slow, but a Tom Hutton - Brennan Pressley gem gave the defense the opportunity it needed to flex a little muscle. One safety and a quarter later OSU was well on its way to a comfortable blowout and I suppose some exorcizing of the demon of the untimed down.
