Cal's cheerleaders poured it on as well, with music and dancing so strong it shook the floor of the massive San Diego Convention Center. |
 |
 With every section of the band giving their all, the Cal Rally Committee got the crowd going as well with a flag-waving, yell-leading "Go Bears!" performance. |
| Cal fans young and old filled the hall with a rousing "Sons of California" and other salutes to the Golden Bears. |  |
 The gridiron's not the only dangerous place in a bowl game battle; band members face hazards, too (note protective earplugs). |
