droski

nice presentation

9/7/18 9:54am

Nice, but it would be even better if cal had more than 1 fan.

9/7/18 11:22am

Cal Antifa 3,956. BYU Antifa 0.0

haha this is great... but how many titles does Rodgers have?

TPcoug

9/7/18 9:55am

um steve young won 1 title despite having all world talent around him

droski

9/7/18 9:57am

Agreed. I think all record setting 6 TD passes that game were short

9/7/18 10:00am

ha i wouldn't say he was average.

droski

9/7/18 10:00am

Steve Young was the first beast mode

I don't think they usually put average guys in the Hall of Fame.

I've seen his stuff. too much low hanging fruit

droski

9/7/18 9:58am

We've noticed that this week as well.

9/7/18 10:01am

To be fair, there's lots of low hanging fruit about BYU and us BYU fans

SwisshQiumi

9/7/18 10:13am

I have a feeling you dont have to worry about that.

BE-WHY-YOU

9/7/18 10:31am

I wonder if he realizes it would have been a home game for BYU even @ Cal

My guess is $57k goes much further in Utah Valley than $81k goes in Berkley.

81k in Berkeley is equivalent to $44k in Salt Lake
