CAL fight song

[trojanman66]

fight song sounds like crap..

[xxCCBBxx]

Cal has twice as many nobel prizes than stanford. Nuff said

[raiderchristian4life]

GO CAL LETS BEAT UCLA TODAY

[icemanjayketchum]

UCHEAT BERKLEY!

[iamrecognized]

The dirty golden bear,

is losing all his hair!

His teeth are out,

he's got the gout,

he don't know what it's all about.

His eyes are made of glass!

He's losing all his class!

So take! you're golden teddy bear,

and shove him up you're golden ass!

[Jimbothenoob]

Go bears let's pop the trojans

[henobeno]

socal native going to cal....

i would appreciate it if my classmates would stop talking shit about my homeland? its all california you fucks :)

[brzklt]

Cal is better than Stanford at academics. Cal wins in location. Get it?

[ndlostagain]

@brzklt Cal. That's a public school, right? Anyone can go there and it's free! Get it?

FREE!!! FREE!!! FREE!!!

The UC system is broke. They will never recover from the California financial crisis. Cal, UCLA, etc. are no longer competition, academically or athletically. California is ruled by STANFORD and USC!

[mrmiffmiff]

@ndlostagain Are you stupid? The UCs aren't free. Community colleges are free. UCs cost quite a bit of money.

[brenbrenone]

@ndlostagain eww gross thats no fun. well at least all the UC campuses are in pretty places and they teach such a high standard that they're seen throughout the world as some of the best public schools in the world. =)

[alley595]

Unless the composer of All Right Now gave this song to Stanford, how can it be stolen. It was a pop hit by Free.

Unless thet have formally abandoned it, Stanford already had a fight song and it wasn't All Right Now.

The Stanford band may have started playing it before SC but they didn't own it.

As for UCLA the song the Big C was written expressly for the Berkeley campus in 1913. UCLA did not even exist then.

[redletter2008]

@alley595 I don't know where Stanford gets "it owns All Right Now" because its atrocious, embarrassment of a "band" (looks more like a crap-stained, lice-ridden mob of degenerates called Occupy Oakland) plays (if you call it "playing") the song. I bet Free is humiliated to have that humiliating pack of vermin ruining their song. USC can't steal something Stanford never owned. UCLA did steal Cal's wretched fight song (neither version is played much as neither scores much in football games!)

[shuffleneng]

fukkkk dis song!

[danielmcd1]

The second best fight song of all time in the world. I love this song and what it stands for. CALIFORNIA !!!

[MPP316]

This is the 1st school that I will apply to, once I am done with Community College.

[rmjphillip]

GO BEARS FUCK STANFORD WELL GET THE AXE BACK NEXT YEAR

[titanicfan4ever35]

@rmjphillip i seriously doubt that

[rmjphillip]

@titanicfan4ever35 u can doubt that but we will c when cal goes 2 paloalto

[Menger1231]

i live in so cal. my friends are so gay they keep on getting mad at me for telling them that ucla stole big c. Ive always liked cal but now i like it more because my sister goes there.

[pqnguyen]

@Menger1231 Idiot, you can't steal something from another campus of the SAME UNIVERSITY! UC Davis also has a version of "Big C," and the UCLA version, "Sons of Westwood" is the best arrangement of the three anyway.

[brenbrenone]

@pqnguyen ya but even if they're in the same system they're still very different schools so therefore the claim that Big C was stolen is plausable. It makes it even more undeniable when "Sons of Westwood" came out between the 40s and 60s and Big C was written in 1913.

[556sportsfan1]

@uscbeatnd Cal is one of the best schools in the country. USC is just some crappy private school that just wants all your money. Plus are players don't get paid to play like Reggie Bush did cause their not stupid.

[DrunkbutSmart]

@556sportsfan1 I Believe that you meant to say “our players” and not “are players (“plus” also needs a comma after it).” Also, it is “they are not stupid”, or “there’re not stupid,” rather than “their not stupid.” Does the term “pot, kettle, black” mean anything to either your irony-lacking institution, or to you?

[556sportsfan1]

@DrunkbutSmart well sorry for not using proper english writing! lol.

[StephenCurry1000]

GO BEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[HOTTUBWARRIOR]

Go CAL BEARS!!!!

[uscbeatnd]

@HOTTUBWARRIOR Cal. That's a public school, right? Anyone can go there, and it's free!

[what9999999333]

@uscbeatnd uhhh Cal is one of the best schools in the country... It's very hard to get into and pretty expensive also....

[uscbeatnd]

@what9999999333 USC 48 - cal. 14

[what9999999333]

@uscbeatnd i was at that game hahah in the USC season pass section also right at the 50 yard line. Wearing cal colors amongst crazy USC fans, not a place you want to be when the score is that bad :O

[bigman10101]

@uscbeatnd and yet, still no bowl game for $C..how sad.

[bigfilmhat]

@uscbeatnd

Actually it's Cal 66- usc 4. Nobel prizes, that is.

[philoeffler]

@uscbeatnd cal is not free, just cuz its not as expensive as $c doesnt mean its free

[comptonbrotha]

@uscbeatnd U$C. That's a shitty private school, right?. Anyone can go there, as long as they have enough money!

[RM4FS]

University of California at Berkeley was founded in 1868, UCLA was the Southern Branch from 1919 to 1930. GO BEARS !!!!! BA '74 MA'78 UCLA is really the University of California for the LOWER ACHIEVERS

[uscbeatnd]

Cal is really a disgrace. I'm a USC TROJAN, and I have to admit that UCLA has more class than their hillbilly cousins in the north.

[trojanbill1]

Songs are about the same, because they are both Cespools. Cespool #1 in Berkeley. Lower Cespool in Westwood. It would Suck to be either.

[calfan312]

Cal colors= yale blue, cal gold

fUCLA colors= BABY blue. gold

Cal mascot= bear

UCLA mascot= bear

fight songs practically same.

hmm coincidence?

[nodawgjunther101]

CAL SUCKS, GO STANFORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­11

[mariel64]

@nodawgjunther101 Yep--you got that RIGHT!!!!!

[StephenCurry1000]

our top recruit MLB will help lead the golden bear to the rose bowl! not USC they are banned from the postseason for two years not oregan they lost Masoli not stanford they lost Toby Gerhart Go Bears! not bruins

[NoOne3234]

@StephenCurry1000

That's pretty optimistic. Yes, Oregon lost Masoli, but they still have LaMichael James and an excellent running game (along with pretty good special teams). Oregon State and Washington are also looking pretty good for next year. Is Cal going have a walk in the park next year? If the team functions as it did last year, no.

If Cal makes it to the Rose Bowl, how will it do against Ohio State, Iowa, or Wisconsin?

[StephenCurry1000]

fuck Stanford

[james12532]

why does maryland always kick cals ass but cal doesnt care about them

[myth6727]

Dawg fan til death, but Cal is my second favorite team, Berkeley is a great school academically I would love to go there maybe one day.

[ndfaithful]

I saw you had a violent protest up there in Berkley because you can't pay your own tuition and fees. Congratulations, Cal!

[xxx3stevanxxx]

@ndfaithful Well duh, they went up alot, what do you expect? not everyone is rich...or has enough financial aid

[NDIrishfan78]

this is my high schools fight song too

[JKM070]

We are the Champions ... Roll Tide Roll ...

[STANFORDMAN11]

Why even put this on here does this make you feel good or something? And I know what you are going to say you should hate Cal. Well my father and mother went there and I am only going to Stanford for medical school. I originally went to Dartmouth. Oh and by the way Mark Ingram should have never won the Heisman that was the most SEC bias Heisman in college football history.

[JKM070]

@STANFORDMAN11 > > Yes' ... I don't think you know to much about college football and traditions. Their was nothing to prove by my post. It is what it is. I really don't care who, in your family went where. I am not impressed, what so ever. Mark Ingram is the Heisman winner and history has been made. Your mind needs to be on medical school, so that you want make any mistakes, when you go out into the field. Have a Nice Day ... Study ... :)

[NoOne3234]

Lol, Tide, Lol.

It's one of the greatest traditions in college football. After January, fans from the national championship team gloat over fans from other teams, even ones in distantly related conferences. This continues until they lose and all of their accumulated bad karma comes back at them in a single week.

[NoOne3234]

You aren't talking to a Cal fan.

[JKM070]

@NoOne3234 > > And ...

[NoOne3234]

Here's some constructive criticism.

1. their != there

2. It's bad manners to remove comments after they have received responses.

[JKM070]

@NoOne3234 > > I think your point has been made very clear, as if it matters on either ... :) Have a Great Day ... Roll Tide ...

[jaeshim1]

U...C...L~~~A...

UCLA fight! fight! fight!

[waterbenderingdolphi]

The dirty golden Bear Is losing all his hair his teeth are out and he's got gout He don't know what it's all about his eyes are made of glass

He's losing all his class

so take the dirty golden bear

and shove him up your....

[llamaboy225]

Go back to UCLA, scrooge.

[mtlson]

Cal's fight song is one of the best. Terrific.

[alexsocc]

they stole this song from ucla

[fretter31]

Other way around. The song was originally composed for Cal.

[airforbes1]

This song is Fight for California. UCLA stole Big C, a different song. USC stole All Right Now from Stanford. So, there is a tradition in So Cal of stealing songs from the North.

[gjfwang]

I'm so sick of the USC band playing "All Right Now" everytime the team scores a touch down. And their crowd making the V sign for "Vavoom" while shouting "All Right Now!"

[airforbes1]

@gjfwang The USC band didn't get to play it much today! This year's Big Game will be the first involving two bowl-eligible teams since 1996.

[mwang213]

WHOA... I don't know what USC you're talking about...

But we play "Fight On" and "Conquest!" after every touchdown, both fight songs that WE composed... and our V isn'r for Vavoom. WTF is Vavoom anyways? The V is for Victory and we do that at all our functions... and... we don't shout All Right Now... we barely play that song...

[dex1lsp]

Me too. I'm also sick of that annoying "Tribute to Troy" crap they play after just about every damn play. It's really repetitive and it drives me nuts.

[dex1lsp]

SoCal always steals our shit because they want to make themselves feel superior, when in fact they're hella inferior. I'd rather be dead than live in SoCal. No wonder so many of those SoCal people who go to Cal never return south, but when we go to school down there, we rarely stay. Going to Cal was an amazing experience, but dealing with all those SoCal douchebags was not fun. I got a weird culture shock just coming from the other side of the Bay. I felt like an outsider in my own territory.

[mikeym820]

@airforbes1 no... all right now is not a USC fight song. ucla just ripped Cal's fight song straight up.

[blueandgoldrollon]

@airforbes1 not only that they dropped their 'grizzlies' mascot and took bruins (as we had both bears/bruins at the time)

[azianet]

@airforbes1 We steal your fight songs and make them better though!

[Sartori]

@azianet

No you don't. You slur it and it sounds awful.

[pqnguyen]

@airforbes1 UCB should use this as your one and only fight song. UCLA's arrangement in "Sons of Westwood" is far superior to Berkeley's "Big C." Plus, our version is better known since it's been played during far more championship games!

[robotminione]

Think about that for a second. This song was composed before UCLA was even founded. You fail history.

[kirbygirlgogo]

after EVERY touchdown? wow

[brzklt]

Sons of California is great, as is "Big C"

[winghaz]

I like "Sons of California" best among Cal's fight songs. This one, "Fight for California," always seemed draggy to me. And I prefer "Sons of Westwood" to "Big C".

[annseymour]

I love4 this video. Daddy was once quarterback of Cal's team. Ann Seymour, author of "I've Always Loved You," a true story of ww2 in the Pacific

[MVillani1985]

Wonder why Cal's fight song is never in the NCAA Football videogames and they're given the same generic fight song that schools like Maine and UMass are. I guess it's good that at least they aren't given the same generic stadium that looks like a high school stadium (with half of the people sitting on the grass) that I-AA schools are. Weird though that Brown and Penn have their fight songs in the game, but a major program like Cal doesn't.

[FloridaGators2K8]

Cal does have their fight song in the NCAA football video games. In fact, I think that EA uses Cal's fight song for UCLA's song, since UCLA ripped off Big C.

[MVillani1985]

Maybe in the newer ones, I don't know. I just have an old version (but the biggest perk of the old games was that I-AA teams weren't just the generic "I-AA Southeast Lizards")

[goldxmonkey]

EA uses Mighty Bruins for UCLA's fight song because Mighty Bruins is UCLA's official fight song.

[amyfan1000]

And we have the best song book in college football:

Golden Bear

Palms of Victory

Sons of California

Stanford Jonah

California, Here's to the

Hail to California, Alma Mater...

Bowles Hall Drinking Song

If these songs were on Broadway, they would all be show stoppers for their wonderful melodies, and there are more.

[shukulala98765]

ya, i have ncaa 08 and they have cals fight song in there

[JenBen2Fresh]

WOOOO go bears! and fuck UCLA for having a similar version of this. and fuck USC for being stupid.
