Andy and Rob are amazing hosts, very knowledgeable, and take their time to respond to all questions and comments. It’s a fun connection to the big Cal Football universe that we all adore.
Very few P-casts for Cal football and B-ball. This is one of my go to ones. Very frank, relaxed discussions. Sarcasm and criticism with humor where warranted as is mostly our lot yet enthusiastic, dogged optimism.
Love this podcast. Andy and Rob are intelligent, soulful and generally positive. A great representation of the spirit of California! Wish they made more content but happily listening to whatever they can put out!
Go Bears!
Pls make a YouTube show
I feel thoroughly prepared for the home opener after listening. Great job, everyone!

Love you guys. I’m a junkie and this is where I get my Cal sports fix. Your insight on the last 10 years of Cal basketball was super informative - didn’t know some of that inside info.
If you you’re looking for a place to nerd out on Cal sports, this is the definitive source. Andy and Rob strike the right balance of well sourced and interesting inside info with smart and funny commentary. I’ve spent some quality sheltered in place time on this yarn and totally love it!!

Thank you Rob, Andy, and everybody for articulating so well roller coaster of emotions that comes with being a Cal fan. The lows are quite sucky but the highs are so so sweet. Go Bears!

Says so much about cal, who I have grown up loving. Love this perspective, and is the only good podcast about college sports. Keep up the amazing work
Accessible, thoughtful, and fun. Great recaps and previews of Cal football give a deeper and sometimes more personal insight into the schemes, planning, and strategies of the team each week. High football IQ not necessary to follow along with the greater themes of the discussion.
