Memorial Stadium

Justice4Ivonne campaign members took to the Memorial Stadium field Saturday, delaying the USC-Cal football game in a peaceful rally demanding the reinstatement of colonial studies professor Ivonne del Valle.

A late Auburn score spoiled the night for Cal as the Bears failed to capitalize on several opportunities.

A series of violent sexual batteries have been reported on and near campus, which UCPD now believes could be related, according to a series of recent UC Berkeley WarnMe alerts. 

To a crowd full of supporters for Parents Weekend, Cal began to pull away at the end of the first half to blow out the Bruins.

In their last game of the season, the Bears were looking for redemption and momentum against the No. 18 UCLA Bruins. Instead, they found loss.

Both teams are wearily riding losing streaks in seasons that can be described as nothing more than perfect graveyards of buried hopes. Nevertheless, the blue and gold hold home court advantage this year and in a matchup like this one, that might mean everything.

Situated within a public institution infamous for its prestige and continuous innovation, the so-called “progressive culture” that is UC Berkeley’s hallmark is contested by shocking historical information concerning the school’s disregarding of Indigenous peoples during the creation of the stadium. The name “California Memorial Stadium” implies the commemoration of individuals, but the question seems to be: the commemoration of whom? 

With the power to evoke overwhelming jubilation, a college football game is a hiatus from everyday existence for fans. But for the athletes on the gridiron, the game is a microcosm of real life.

In striking opposition to last week’s brutal beginning, the Bears came out firing on all cylinders. With an immediate sack, followed by back-to-back incompletions, Cal came out guns blazing.

With a record-high heat wave scorching Northern California, Cal football is looking to beat both the heat and the UNLV Rebels this weekend.
