Cal Football 2019 - UCLA, 7&5, Offseason!
And just like that, the regular season is over. The Bears finish with a 7-5 record (4-5 in the Pac-12) and clinch second in the standings of the Pac-12 North by the way of alphabetical order (lol Pac-12). The Bears outplayed UCLA for 98% of the game in Pasadena, something that hasn’t been done in a decade, which is now starting to be a thing for coach Wilcox.
Garbers looks to be the secret ingredient for Cal who now await their bowl selection which will most likely be to the Red Box bowl, Sun Bowl or the Holiday Bowl.
Tune into the pod to hear the UCLA reactions from Rob and Andy, a brandy toast to the victory and of course the answers to all of our questions and more.

Cal Football 2019 - USC Disappointment & A call...
Well the USC game came and went and along with it went any hopes of a two year winning streak or a sweep of the California schools.
Nonetheless all of that somehow matters less this week as the immediate need is for the Bears to throw everything they have at the Leland Stanfurd Junior University football team and walk away from Saturday with the Axe in hand.
Give a listen to revisit the best and worst of the USC game and what the Bears have to get right before heading down to the farm.

Cal Football 2019 - Oregon Recap
Producer's Note: You may hear some echo every once in a while, thats just the audio program and we're working out some kinks in them for future remote recordings. Appreciate the understanding!
The Bearcast is back after a tough road loss in Autzen and luckily Andy wasn’t left for dead by the Duck fans while enjoying his time in enemy territory. The Bears took the loss after only managing seven points against Oregon’s top-rated defense and are now at 4-2 (1-2 P12) heading into the bye week.
Cal badly needs to heal, and the offense needs to find a rhythm before gearing up to play Oregon State at home in what has to be the best matchup left on the schedule.
The season is officially halfway over, how do you think the Bears will finish their 2019 campaign?

We have returned, on your left, from the depths of hibernation, after the cheesiest of bowls. Too much cheese was consumed along with massive amounts of sunshine and optimism. The return marked by the flame-throwing hot takes of Rob and Andy. This time including the optimal rationalist in Trace Travers of Cal Rivals and the only sane person to keep us grounded in Josh Yuen of the Daily Cal.
*Host’s Note: Some of the audio cables crapped out early on so you might hear some sporadic static or low volume for the first 15 minutes, after that it’s smooth sailing. Thanks for understanding!
