I hear you, brother. I hear you.

Turnovers and penalties vis a vis field position will decide this. UNC with their WR is more explosive than us and their DL can force 2nd and long and bad passing decisions by Bowers. We have to be patient on O.

Cal Strong have STRONG feeling about today . . . like Cal!

Feel more like Cal, less like you.

Cal STRONG!!!

We're Cal fans. You're suppose to feel this way.

Having said that I was at Chapel Hill last year, and it was a great game. I remember thinking who is this Patrick Laird guy? It was extra nice since my son is a Duke grad.

Go Bears.

Since in both your lifetimes, Cal has lost more football games than we've won, such feelings are perfectly natural: the neural pathways in your brain developed from Cal losing are more "entrenched" than the pathways developed by feelings of well being & excitement resulting Cal winning games.

But don't forget our players, for the most part, did not follow Cal football with the same level of interest as you have before their Cal recruiting focus started. For them, they come with a "clean slate" with respect to Cal's winning or losing. Indeed, their overall football winning vs. losing neural pathways are certainly much more entrenched by the "winning" pathways.

So, put these feelings of foreboding "on the shelf" and use your neocortex to create confident, excited Cal football pathways.

Or, just start drinking until Cal wins the game, then continue in celebration. (See the thread "Because we are all underage drinkers inside"). But since alcohol is a depressant, it will only blur your feelings, and likely leave you more sad than when you started.

Go [hick-up] Bears.

Outstanding advise!

Ive lost the superstition. I'm more curious to see what kind of team we have this year. In the grand scheme of things the outcome of this particular game is largely irrelevant, but it's fun to see what's similar and different compared to last season.

I trust Wilcox. No foreboding. Go Bears!!

They have a lousy secondary and a backup QB, go all out on run defense and this is curtains.

You ate something bad last night, today is glorious.
