Now that football season has ended, this column will return to covering whatever Cal/Pac-12 news is most relevant for the week.
Sometimes, being a Cal fan can be wearying. When the Bears are losing their 7th straight Big Game just two days prior to MBB losing to SDSU still playing without Jabari Bird, before Kam Rooks gets hurt . . . well, it can be hard to tamp down the cynicism.
But the men’s team has been undefeated (admittedly, against a weak schedule) since, the WBB team matched their best start ever with a dominating home win over Nebraska, and it was all capped by a stunning two-day performance from men’s water polo to capture a national title.
