Episode Details

UCLA and Cal are set to reignite their historic rivalry this Saturday in a throwback showdown that’s bigger than just a season opener—it’s a nostalgic nod to the old Pac-12 days, now gone but not forgotten. With new coaches at the helm and several players switching sides—including Jaivian Thomas and Mateen Bhaghani donning UCLA blue—this game carries extra weight. Thomas is eager to play in front of his Oakland roots at Memorial Stadium, which is already sold out and even expanding its seating. The atmosphere promises to be electric, especially for players like Mikey Matthews who know Cal fans well. While some stay focused on the task, others see it as a chance to prove themselves, with Bhaghani believing UCLA can pull off a shootout win. It’s more than football—it’s a reunion of tradition, pride, and passion.
