For the second consecutive year, the California Golden Bears (30-22, 6-17 in Pac-12) are dancing (both literally and figuratively) in the state of Alabama. Cal were playing in the Tuscaloosa Regional last year, losing twice to host Alabama after defeating Texas State twice. This year, they will play at the other SEC team based out of the state of Alabama, at the home of the Auburn Tigers. Oh, the Auburn Tigers are the national runner-ups from an year ago and returned a lot of those players - but we will get to them in a bit.
The 2017 Cal Bears team is a very active group; they love to dance in the dugout and even on the bases.
