As we slide in another win for Cal against the FCS, I always am left wondering. What do these games actually mean in the end? Do they portend future tidings of success or prophecies of doom a la Maggy the Frog? Or is Lyle Lanley trying to tell you there's nothing on earth like a genuine, bona fide, electrified, six-car monorail?
Let's go through the history books and examine a decade of cupcake scheduling.
2005: Cal 41, Sacramento State 3. The one where Nate Longshore got hurt. I don't really remember anything else other than Joe Ayoob and Steve Levy going 2-17 and being like, "Well, not every year can be 2004 unless Phil Knight is your best friend".
