Yes, this season has been disappointing and surreal even by the standards of a fanbase that has seen more than its share of surreal events. Yes this start time is awful. Yes it feels like our season ended last Saturday. But this will be our last chance (ever) to see some GREAT golden bear seniors (Cam Goode, Luc Bequette, Elijah Hicks, Kekoa Crawford, Josh Drayden, Val Daltoso, Marcel Dancy, etc. ) take the field. We have 20 players on the team who are in their 5th year or more. Even with Covid waivers, most of these folks are gone in just a few days.
These guys have given their all to the program and the school for a long, long time. In Luc's case basically since the Paleolithic Era. It would be a tragedy not to send them out in style.
I'll also note this may be a real shot to defeat the hated USC trojans in Berkeley. Something we last did in 2003. I expect most of the USC seniors with NFL draft aspirations to skip this trip - cause that's how they roll. And if we beat a depleted USC roster . . . good. I really don't care if they trot out the water boy under center. I just want them beaten.
So I am begging and pleading with anyone who can make it to Memorial on Saturday to go to the game and show some love for the players who have given so much to this program for so many years.
Hope to see you all there.
