Colorfornia Golden Bearffuloes?

After a satisfying pantsing of CSU in game one, the Buffs move on to game two. And as I look at this next opponent I see a lot of, well, US. Behold the eery comparisons:

So, when I look at you Cal, it's like looking in the mirror. Beautiful.

That said, the Buffs are coming to your town, Bears, intending to commit unspeakable acts upon your mortal souls. It's like the biblical story of Cain and Abel in which one brother murdered the other and I can't remember which or why and that shit just seems wrong but sometimes a brother's got to get cut, you know? And that brother is you, Cain. Or Abel.
