Golden Bears Chop Down Stanford, 41 - 6

For those of you who might have been in a cave this weekend, Cal throughly manhandled Stanford's 4-7 football squad in a game that could simply be described as a typical rivalry game. Approximately two dozen penalties were handed out, cheap shots were being thrown on both sides, and emotions were obviously running high. It wasn't exactly a game at The Palace, but nonetheless, rushing the field still gave students an enormous sense of satisfaction.

As far as the importance of this game in the long run, there is pretty much none, unless the Golden Bears would have lost. Cal seems absolutely poised for the Rose Bowl, though ESPN has just run an interesting article explaining a couple possible scenarios in which Cal could quite easily be dropped from BCS bowl contention. To sum up: if Texas moves up a spot on us (quite possible, if they embarass A&M) and Utah AND Boise State or Louisville make the top 6 (once again, quite possible, since Utah is #6 and Boise State/Louisville are in the top 10 now and climbing), then all at-large berths for BCS bowls, including the Rose and Fiesta Bowls, would be taken, and Cal would not find itself in a premiere bowl come the new year. The BCS continues to astound everyone.

The Daily Cal also had a great showing in the Ink Bowl, where it reclaimed the coveted "Exacto Knife" for the glory of Cal. The showdown went into overtime, which according to regulation rules, is settled by the boat race, which the Daily Cal throughly dominated. Go Daily Cal! Though, if given the chance, the CalStuff crew could totally snag that trophy from either paper. We're just that damn good.Email This Post!
