I’m the kind of sports fan that always is extremely optimistic that we’re going to pull out a win. I put a lot of blame on my youth which was probably because when I became a football fan it was during the golden age of the Niners. A win always seems possible in my mind no matter how much the odds are against us. (I’m lying. I don’t check the odds; they just make me sad.) So I’m here to be your reigning optimist. Your Cheer Bear, if you’ll allow it.
Since this is my first post, I should share some of my journey into Cal fandom.
