Look, I’d love for our crazy online Golden Bear community to take credit for the reason that College Gameday is in Berkeley at Memorial Glade this Saturday.
So I will. Because that’s what the world is telling me.
When The Stanford Tree has nice things to say about the fans of the California Golden Bears, you know it’s been a special week for our online fans.
How do you even begin to process our new conference using the hashtag our little community cobbled together midweek to get this College Gameday campaign in high gear?
At some point, we will really have to dive deep and understand everything that just transpired. Because I’ve never seen anything like it.
The media reaction around the country was beyond positive.

You’ve earned your flowers, Cal Twitter. They’ve bloomed to a degree we couldn’t possibly realize.
It’s been a remarkable few weeks, and the most remarkable of all the weeks is now underway.
