Wow. It’s been awhile. Now let’s CLIMB the rankings for a change. Go Bears!

It would have been nice to schedule another exhibition game. 10 days between game action seems like quite a long time.

Can a team schedule more than one?

I’m sure they’ll have one of those “secret scrimmages” scheduled. I believe they’ve played St. Mary’s and Santa Clara in recent years. No press, no fans, pretend nothing happened.

Yeah…Go Bears! Definitely looking forward to hoops given the football season.

Why are we lower in the rankings than Arizona and UCLA? I think the FB team will make it to a Bowl. Go Bears!
