If you're familiar with the history between Cal and Texas football, you know that the Bears are far from golden when matched up with the Longhorns. In our first meeting in 1959, Texas opened up a can of whoop-ass and still hasn't closed it, thrashing us about with sadistic enthusiasm on four separate occasions. Our most recent beating from the burnt orange bully was on December 28th in the 2011 Holiday Bowl. It seems like the loss set the tone for the New Year - and the next, and the one after that too - because the Bears haven't seen to a bowl game since.
