BERKELEY, Calif. -- Growing up in Texas, Davis Webb knew all about the Big Game rivalry between California and Stanford.Now as he finishes up his only season as starting quarterback at Cal, Webb gets to experience it first hand when the Golden Bears (4-6, 2-5 Pac-12) host the Cardinal (7-3, 5-3) on Saturday.I dont think theres anything like this game, he said. Theres so much tradition, so much pageantry and so many great players that have played in this game. Im just excited to be a part of it. From afar, living in Dallas, everybody knew what the Big Game was. Its going to be one of the greatest experiences Ive ever had in my life.While the Big Game is new to Webb, it has been part of Stanford coach David Shaws life for decades.Shaw remembers watching his first as a high school senior in 1989 when his father, Willie, was an assistant at Stanford and immediately noticed the heightened noise, energy and excitement in the stadium.That only increased the following year when Shaw was a player at Stanford and the Cardinal rallied for a 27-25 win after scoring a touchdown with 12 seconds left, missing a 2-point conversion, recovering an onside kick and capitalizing on two personal fouls to set up John Hopkins game-winning field goal.I say this every year, to the freshmen from all over the country and maybe the sophomores who didnt play last year, to not be surprised by the emotion as you walk through the stadium. Youre going to feel it, Shaw said. I feel it as a coach. Im an alum. Im a Stanford guy. And Big Game is always Big.Here are some other things to watch:BIG GAME STREAK: The rivalry has been extremely one-sided of late with Stanford winning the past six meetings -- one shy of the longest streak in series history held by the Cardinal from 1995-2001. Only one of those games was decided by fewer than 10 points and the average margin of victory has been 23.2 points per game.Thatd be a pretty cool legacy to leave, to be a part of a team that was able to beat Stanford, Webb said.BOWL BID: After opening the season 4-3, Cal has lost three straight games to put the Bears hopes of returning to a bowl game in serious jeopardy. The Bears must win their final two games against Stanford and UCLA to become bowl eligible, although they could have an outside shot of making a bowl with five wins if there are not enough six-win teams to fill up all the slots.We know whats at stake, Cal receiver Bug Rivera said. Everybody knows whats at stake. Wed really like to get that bowl opportunity and think were going to get it done.CHRYSTS PROGRESS: After going just 24 for 47 for 164 yards in his first two starts, Stanford quarterback Keller Chryst showed signs of improvement last week at Oregon. He completed 19 of 26 passes for 258 yards and three touchdowns.Hes been making incremental improvements the first two games, Shaw said. Its the execution of the offense. All the positive signs were there in practice. No one wants it more and no one is pushing himself harder than Keller. All he has to do is play his part. He doesnt have to take the game over.STOPPING McCAFFREY: After being slowed by an undisclosed injury last month, Stanford running back Christian McCaffrey has been back to his dynamic self the past three weeks. He has rushed for 503 yards at an average of 7.0 yards per carry and scored seven TDs in that span. He faces a Cal run defense that is second-worst in the FBS, allowing 283.4 yards rushing per game.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25Vapormax Flyknit 3 Ale . -- Nathan Pancel scored twice as the Sudbury Wolves defeated the North Bay Battalion 4-2 on Saturday in Ontario Hockey League action.

Vapormax Plus Ale .com) - Richie Incognito has reportedly been admitted to a psychiatric care unit in Arizona.NSW winger Taqele Naiyaravoro will miss the Waratahs must-win match against the Blues at Eden Park on Friday.The giant Wallabies back was sin-binned in the 57th minute of Saturdays home loss to the Hurricanes after tackling five-eighth Beauden Barrett in the air.Upon further review of the match footage, the citing commissioner deemed the incident had met the red-card threshold for foul play.SANZAAR Duty Judicial Officer Robert Stezner SC accepted a guilty plea for tackling, tapping, pushing or pulling an opponent jumping for the ball in a lineout or in open play from the Waratahs winger.The Waratahs head into Fridays match level on points with Australian conference leader the Brumbies, who hold top spot because they have logged one more win.If the Tahs fail to take any points away from Eden Park, the Brumbies will seal the Australian conference before hosting the Force on Saturday and the Tahs will be eliminated.Waratahs stalwart Dave Dennis says his side must remain positive and target a bonus point win and banish any negative thoughts about the ground.The Wallabies have lost 16 Tests in a roow to the All Blacks at Eden Park since beating them there in 1986, and the Waratahs record isnt much better.ddddddddddddThey have won just one out of nine Super Rugby games at the venue.That win in 2009 was their first at the venue in 81 years and only around four of the Waratahs that played in that game will probably line up on Friday.Dennis, who will shortly leave the Tahs to join English club Exeter, said NSW couldnt get bogged down in negative statistics.History aside, we need five points over there, so if we start thinking of those stats its not going to help our cause, Dennis said.Weve got to go over there and win well.Back rower Dennis said having to go for a bonus point would actually suit the Tahs.Were a team that likes to attack, he said.Another side of that is defence as well. I think the Blues showed (last Friday in their win over the Brumbies) how well they can score with offloads, so we ve got to defend well, but also go in with an attacking mindset. ' ' '
