Big Game Links

(I hope this guy is still on Rally Comm)

It's Big Game Week, if you haven't heard. Vegas tells us the Bears will be crushed and Andrew Luck will piss his name into gold and pull off celebratory wheelies on a unicycle.

Here are some nice links to get you in the Big Game spirit.


First, be sure to check out Yahoo Columnist and Cal alum Mike Silver's interview on Murph and Mac. If there were ever a sports writer who can articulate all the things right about Cal football, and in this case, wrong about Stanford football, it's Silver. Check it out just for Silver's attempt at "hooking up" with Kate Scott. Rawr.

In terms of predictions, ESPN's Ted Miller predicts that the Bears lose 35-20.
Stanford 35, California 20: Stanford and Andrew Luck will bounce back with a strong performance in the Big Game. The Bears' chances hinge on QB Zach Maynard passing effectively and efficiently and he's been hot and cold all season.

That seems to be in line with other predictions, including Phil Steele's 38-17 prediction in favor or the Furd, and Jon Wilner's closer prediction of 30-24.

California Golden Blogs has some nice previews of Stanford's Defense as well as their high scoring offense.

Want to see a nice feature on the history of the axe? Check out a nice little feature on ESPN with Ted Miller and a mini-history lesson. The worst part of the video? Seeing the axe in Stanford's trophy case. Boo.

Here's Marvin Jones on CSN Chronicle Conversations, conversing about the Big Game. But among other things, Jones discusses his life as a father, student, and athlete. Quite impressive.



Also on Comcast Sports Net, a short feature with Cal players on the upcoming Big Game. Here's hoping Cattouse makes a play to make those forget his gaffe last year.
