Cal may have a replacement for Sonny Dykes in the works. According to a few reports, the Golden Bears are in contract talks with Wisconsin defensive coordinator Justin Wilcox for the job. FOX’s Bruce Feldman first reported the news, while …
UCLA beat up on Cal 40-24 Thursday night at the Rose Bowl, and the two teams got into it after the game. There was a scuffle after time ran out as the teams met in the middle for handshakes and whatnot: UCLA/Cal pic.twitter.com/gnXolVfj3y …
Cal was getting blown out by USC 28-2 on Thursday night, so they figured why not try a fake punt? Maybe the idea to attempt the fake was a good one, but the execution was just an embarrassment. Punter Cole Leininger did some sort of half-hearted fake …
Cal football coach Sonny Dykes lost in his debut with the Golden Bears on Saturday night, and he was upset with Northwestern for seemingly employing some shady tactics. The No. 22-ranked Wildcats won 44-30 in a game that was much closer than the …

Anyone who is a fan of Cal football can tell you what a painful experience it is. Marred with inconsistency, the Golden Bears can get up for a game and blast an opponent by 50 points one week, and then come back and lose to an inferior opponent by 20 …
We’ve already seen Brandon Jacobs run over LaRon Landry, and Sheldon Brown crush Steven Jackson, but the hit of the year might be Kevin Barnes of Maryland on Cal running back Jahvid Best. I’m not sure you can place a hit on some more …
You may have thought you were reading some important stuff here over the past seven weeks. You were wrong. The year wasn’t officially christened until we had our first Berkeley tree-hugger update of 2008. If you remember, at last check, one of …
