Daily Cal: Bears Eager to Prove Herbstreit Wrong, Prepare for Falcons

BY Steffi Chan

ESPN commentator Kirk Herbstreit said Tuesday on SportsCenter that of all the non-BCS bowl games, the most likely blowout would be Air Force over the Cal football team in the Armed Forces Bowl on Dec. 31.

Needless to say, that didn’t sit well with some Bears players. Defensive end Rulon Davis had a few words to say about Herbstreit’s prediction.   “I just want to prove Kirk Herbstreit wrong. I don’t want him to think we’re a bunch of punks because we’re not, and if Air Force thinks that’s what they’re dealing with, I’m going to make sure that’s not going to happen,” Davis said. “They’re definitely not going to make a punk out of me.  “He keeps calling us out, saying we’re weak, we’re flat and we play with no heart—basically that we’re punks. We have to go prove to the rest of the United States that that’s not what we’re about.”

The punch line is implied at the end of the full article (see the link):

But at home, Longshore won’t be tossing any touchdown passes.

“I usually specialize in middle linebacker,” he said. “They don’t let me play quarterback. They don’t have so much fun when that happens.”


Neither do we, Nate,neither do we.
