This week's games

Last Saturday, the Stanford band played a special tribute to USC with a halftime production saluting the USC grad behind "Girls Gone Wild," and then Coach Jim Harbaugh went for two for the sole purpose of putting 50 on Pete Carroll. Stanford is feeling pretty full of themselves as they go into this season's edition of The Big Game. Meanwhile, Cal students were holding up signs of Oski the bear burning down a tree during the game with Arizona, and you know the Cal band is going to have something special in store for Stanford even if it probably won't live up to the tribute to Mario Bros. Maybe for the first time since The Play, this may actually be The Big Game. So what is Gameday doing at Arizona?
