In The Days Before Tedford
(Written by jsnell)
As we prepare for another season, here’s a flashback to an earlier, simpler era. An era where you could get season tickets for pennies. Where you could stretch out across five seats at most home games. An era where Cal was absolutely terrible.
The year is 2001. The coach is Tom Holmoe. The stadium is empty.
It sure makes me appreciate the era we live in now, crowded and expensive though it may be.
(For the record, this particular final score was Arizona 38, Cal 24. The loss dropped Cal to 0-8.)

Wow. Those were the days. In a weird way, I miss being able to spread out across the bleachers and wander around to any seat I wanted.
Wasn’t that real grass back then too? I do miss that.

Yes, I think those were the days of real grass.
I really do miss being able to spread out, but I will trade it for a winning team. And the good news is, if the team ends up stinking, at some point it’ll just be us sitting there again…
