Has Cal ever had a sellout for a night game? Probably not, and probably not ever close.

I'm just guessing, but I also think a GameDay game has ever been a night game. So it looks like Cal will have to wait to host GameDay.

Too bad we did not have better horses up front on our final drive. We need a much better two deep at our five offensive line positions, which seem to consistently have more injuries than other positions. Perhaps our offensive coordinator, Bloesch, with his specialty seeming to be his O-Line coaching backgrounds, will turn things around there.

Have you forgotten about the 2006 UCLA game back when Memorial held 72k+. There was a butt in every seat and two knees in every back.

Edit: Apparently it was a 5pm kickoff in November, but it was dark well before halftime.
