The Fiesta bowl year down there. Kind of a wild game on a
beautiful day. Jonathon Smith made a spin move and rumbled
for a big first down. He certainly wasn't fast, but somehow he got
things done. I still laugh about that play.
My favorite TV game was the Tedford meltdown game. Watching the clipboard
fly as time ran out was beautiful and well deserved after a phantom PI call set
them up in the first place.

I still laugh about that play. Yeah. that JS run was shocking and surprising. That was fun to see in person
The other Cal game was Stephen Jackson running for 238 (ish) yds. He was a beast that day

Any game in Berkeley since what, 1998? Sad that the streak will end this year.

I have a worst Cal memory...
1996. We were 0-3 or 0-4 and had lost to Montana at home to start the season - weren't competitive in any of the games... I'm ready for Pettibone to move along. Anyhow, I am in Vegas for the weekend and pick Cal to cover on a 5 team parlay. Easy money - this Beaver team is awful, it's a road game... Done
Beavs play Cal tough, take them into 3? OT and lose 48-42. I go 4 of 5, miss out on something like $500. Beavs still lose anyways.
Have never bet against them since that day. Lesson learned.

Clipboard. Knocked them out of #1 right before they were #1.

2007 in my girlfriend's father's season ticket seats at Cal. Two orange people in a sea of blue. We played it cool the entire game and then, when everybody was gone, whooped it UP. An AMAZING feeling!
On a side note, my dad attended the University of Kentucky but after moving to Corvallis in 1968, became a die hard Beaver. On this day, Kentucky beat #1 LSU and OSU beat #2 California. I do believe some Wildcat/Beaver in heaven was pulling some strings. |

Old guy memory! 1984? Cal at OSU and it was bad weather before the game. Dark, lots of rain. Just before kickoff the skies cleared, and it turned out to be a beautiful day. A huge bonus was the best flyover I've ever seen. Low and loud! Approach from the crowd's back as we were all facing the flag. BIG afterburners before we had to worry about that stuff. Awesome display of American Muscle and patriotism. And by the way, we won!
Go Beavers!

Punking them in '05 was a good one
James Rodgers' return after they opened with a score in '08 is my favorite single memory.

Goal line stand. The extra-time FG. Rush the field in 1999. Hey, when it's Cal we sure seem to have a ton of great memories! For them the Beavs have been their unexpected nemesis. Go figure!

That goal line stand was one of the most spine tingling moments in all my years of Beaver fandom. What a gutsy series with their backs to the wall !!

Wasn't this also the game where Cal's big name RB tried to jump over a Beaver defender, landed on his back out-of-bounds, and had to be taken off the field in an ambulance? I also liked the goal line stand (can't recall the year it happened) where Cal couldn't get the field goal squad in the game at the end to lose to the Beavers. |
