Golden Nuggets: Cal and Texas to play Home-and-Home in 2015-2016 - California Golden Blogs
Excellent news, as Texas gets a quality opponent and a chance to head west to recruit the fertile California grounds.
UPDATE: As noted in the comments, we'll also be heading north to play Brewster's Minions. Count me in for both road trips.

actually..
..it’s not about “he who shall not be named”. It was a reference to the guys on the other side, who for reasons not obvious to me, HATE Mack for his “politicking”.

I just figured it out!
He who shall not be named is a Cal grad.

yep minnesota too
per rivalsChip Brown @ 12 pm
A home and home football series with Pac-10 foe California and Big Ten opponent Minnesota has been scheduled for the 2015 and 2016
seasons, The University of Texas announced Friday.
The Longhorns will travel to Minneapolis on Sept. 19, 2015 and to Berkley on Sept. 10, 2016. The Bears will visit Austin on Sept. 12, 2015 and the Gophers will return to Austin on
Sept. 17, 2016.
Texas also announced it has filled a pair of non-conference dates for 2013 and 2014 with home games against New Mexico State on Aug. 31, 2013 and North Texas on Aug. 30, 2014.
Good to see that while scheduling some BCS opponents,
we aren’t forgetting how important it is to keep the WAC and Sun Belt rivalries active. Fill the seats, get the scoreboard humming, give the walkons some field time.
When those things happen, all’s right with the world.
Wells, you're usually real keen to catching this stuff
look at it again. carefully.
it wasn't his...
..it was “HornChumps”; someone made a fake username and wrote that. I’m guessing PB deleted it.

Thanks, guys.

sounds like a good match up
This could backfire by producing an away loss, or they could suck by then.

I WOULD LIKE TO SAY HI TO YOU, OUR FRIENDS, CIVILLY, AT BURNT ORANGE NATION, ON THIS, THE DAY OF YOUR DAUGHTERS WEDDING. I HOPE THAT HER FIRST CHILD IS A MASCULINE CHILD.
What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. What happens in California makes the world go round.
I wonder if they will still be mad over 2004-2005 by then
If they have no real success to show from then and now… then probably, unfortunately.
by TheElusiveShadow on Sep 18, 2009 2:41 PM CDT reply actions
Well, most likely
The Aggies are still mad about the 38 point loss they took in 1894.

Burnt Orange?
I thought your color was Mack Brown?
It’s about time for this one. Seriously. If for no other reason than to try and bring a bit of payback for some public crying politicking that jobbed Cal of a Rose Bowl.
Oh, and to also see whether Austin or Berkeley are weirder.

That would’ve been an awesome game.

Better than Tx v Michigan?
The only thing Tx v Cal would have had was the animosity that Cal had toward Tx, and if they would have played, the animosity is out the window because Cal got what they wanted.
Mack whining / Mack politicking, whatever. It’s time to move on and I can’t wait for this match up. I’m so tired of the whining that the Cal fans have done in the years following the incident. If that doesn’t include you, please don’t assume I mean you.
It's all in good fun guys
But you are missing point.. You say you were “jobbed” out of the Rose Bowl, but then you go on to lose the Holiday Bowl to Tech, while Texas beats Michigan.
Not saying it is right, but as far as the national media was concerned the way the two teams played in the bowl games validated the voters decision
by Hookem4life84 on Sep 18, 2009 3:53 PM CDT up reply actions
That’s the same media that jobbed you out of the title game this year! HOW DARE YOU TRUST THEM.
Should be a fun time. Can’t wait for it!

I am incredibly excited about this match up. I know some Cal fans are still upset about 2004 and I respect those viewpoints, but for me, I’ve moved past that.
And I look for a variety of new and exciting reasons to hate Texas. So, please, help me better understand why I want physical damage to be visited upon your friends and loved one.

Don’t let Twist fool you! He still has a longhorn logo painted on the bottom of his toilet bowl, and regularly punches a pillow with Mack Brown’s face embroidered on it. Though, in his defense, he is making progress. He recently stopped screaming about conspiracy and justice whenever there are Texas highlights on Sports Center.

The Pain of 2004
I know some have said criticized cal fans for holding the 2004 grudge but come on guys .. i know texas has a great football tradition and so you guys wouldn’t know the pain… but just imagine..
- going 50+ years without a Rose Bowl… every year dying for that one dream…
- then one day.. going 10-1, with the only loss to #1 USC, where it came down to the last throw which would have been easily caught if our receiver hadn’t slipped…
- ending up #4 in the polls, cal alumnis who are now grandfathers finally smelling roses for the first time in their life… seriously, we have cal blogs called “rose bowl before i die”
- then comes some pleas by a coach to reconsider their votes…. but #4 in the nation.. and only loss to #1 USC (eventual champions) how could they not..
- but it did… cal drops in rankings in several polls as low as #7. cal gets passed up in the polls despite winning another game.
so to recap. 1 loss to #1 USC by 1 slip by the receiver.. and shut out of bcs altogether.
i have to admit, it still pains me to say it. i have nothing against texas.. cal fans don’t have any issues with texas fans… just another heartbreaking moment in history.. and some bitterness to brown’s tactics.. if this happened to you, it would hurt too.
as for the holiday bowl loss, come on guys give the kids a break. these guys are like 19-20 year olds. a heart breaking situation like really messed up their mindset.. they hardly looked like the team of the regular season.
hope to see you guys at the rose bowl (or championship game).. wish us luck against USC. see you in 2015 too!
get off me bandwagoners!

Absolutely understand
but what I don’t is the continued grudge. As much shit as Texas fans get over “whining” about last year’s “screw job” or the Mack Brown “politicking” in 2004, I wonder how much Cal fans get about theirs. The majority of us are over last year, when will Cal fans move on?
I’m going to guess Texas still has a fabulous crystal football they can hoist. Cal has no such booty.
So, bitterness is probably the apt term.

I love this and will name my first one Austin Berkley to honor it, and bring 10 virgins to each game for sacrifice. The deities say this is good.
