San Jose Mercury: More home cooking for Forsett

Cal running back will be supported by hometown fans

By Jonathan Okanes

Cal's football team travels to Fort Worth today to begin preparing for the Armed Forces Bowl on Monday, and the Bears will be greeted by a special luminary - their best player. The Bears went their separate ways over the past few days to spend Christmas with family and friends. For tailback Justin Forsett, that meant an early arrival to the Lone Star state.

Forsett, the team's offensive most valuable player, hails from Arlington, Texas, about 15 miles from Fort Worth. The senior expects as many as 300 family members and friends to attend the final game of his college career.

"It's just a blessing that the people that have supported me are going to be able to come to my last game," Forsett said. "A lot of them have never seen me play, except on TV.
