It’s big game week, the inarguable best week of the year. The optimism floweth freely in Berkeley with many Cal fans plotting how the axe will inevitably return to Berkeley come Saturday. There is always something magical and special about this week whether it be the pregame banter with our enemies across the bay or the countless activities hosted by Rally Comm.
This year the matchup against Stanford is one that is much more exciting than in years past. Cal is on the precipice of bowl eligibility in year one for coach Wilcox and the defense is at a level that Stanford will be unfamiliar with.
