Bears likely headed to Sun Bowl

Prior to the 2009 season, Cal fans said the Sun Bowl was "unacceptable". At this time, apparently they can accept it. With a win over Washington on Saturday, Cal has almost a guaranteed Sun Bowl berth. If Cal and USC win, the Bears can book flights to El Paso. If Arizona upsets USC and Cal wins, Cal might get picked over Arizona to go to the Holiday Bowl. If not, the Sun Bowl would pick them for a New Year's Day game versus probably Oklahoma. The Bears are the only team that has never been to the Sun Bowl, but Cal fans shouldn't get too excited. Their next opponent, Washington, beat USC and Arizona at home and they are coming off of a win over Washington State in the Apple Cup. I think Kevin Riley outplays Jake Locker and Shane Vereen has a big day and Cal will take the Huskies 37-17. Sun Bowl scouts and officials are very interested in bringing Cal to the game vs. a quality Big 12 opponent on New Year's Eve. Sun Bowl Pick: Cal 23, Oklahoma 17

Why I love this game so much...and how it's led me to winning big in Vegas

I'll try to keep this short - the NFL experience is calling my name. There are field goals to be kicked, mock broadcasts with ex-NFL quarterbacks for me to get to, NFL facts to memorize, and revenge on my mother, to be had. She beat me in the QB target competition yesterday, although all 3 of mine were inches away and she just happened to hit one of them even with terrible form, so I'm not too pressed about it or emasculated by it. I write this post short walk away from Allegiant Stadium, home of Super Bowl 58. I've spent my week immersing myself in the history of this beautiful game, getting more juiced than ever for my 19th Super Bowl (that I've watched live). After many many many hours of a Wikipedia / NFL Throwback / Sporcle diet when I was supposed to be at work (and many more instances of this throughout childhood / adulthood), I think I can name every Super Bowl score, location, first play safety against the Broncos, MVP, power outage, quarterback, nip slip, coac...

The Script - That Is, the Revised Script - Had This Super Bowl Matchup All Along

Image
Screenwriter Goodell has done it again! It's admittedly not the script I saw written in the stars - or rather in the combination of the NFL's Super Bowl logo and a Memphis radio station's (now) false advertising. The best explanation is that not even Goodell could have foreseen the Taylor Swift effect - and called in the cast midseason to push the Chiefs' Super Bowl hangover back one more year at Baltimore's expense. When the Harbaugh family threatened to sue, he called in a favor to the NCAA - and Jalen Milroe - to have Jim pocket the family's due 2023 ring. And then, to give big bro the upper hand, inflicted Jim with the worst curse in all of sports - that of the LA Chargers. Equilibrium is restored. It looked like the revised script was about to bring the 49ers down too in favor of the bookended schedule Super Bowl that Jake Marsh wanted to see so badly - the same kickoff game and championship game matchup. The thought crossed my mind as a minor consolation i...
