of the stage earlier and there were all these students and they were yelling and yelling and i thought, you know, it'll be a miracle if they still have a voice by 730 tonight. >> i think so. and we saw like a few of them crash already. so they're taking a nap. they've been here since 10 p.m. last night, so i've even seen some of the hurricane fans around here. >> are you at all worried about the actual game going on? >> well, you know, at cal we have a good time. really, really, really before the game and during the game, it's like a bonus, you know, it's just a little extra. >> thank you so much. great having everybody out here. it certainly is a fun time out here. go bears is right. go bears. all day. stephanie. now back to you in the studio. >> j.r. incredible reaction earlier just to seeing coach saban switching to blue and gold. now before you go, i do want to ask you, you know, last time miami was in berkeley 34 years ago in 1990. they won. and i know this is unspeakable to say in your crowd, but predictions are favoring miami tonight. what are you hearing from your sources in the set?

>> well, i think, you know, if you've watched that miami team, they've got a quarterback and he is just a stud when he plays football on the field, they are talking about a possible heisman candidate there. but when i brought up quarterback, everybody out here, all the cal fans said quarterback from miam. what we only know one guy and his name is mendoza and he plays for the cal bears. >> that's awesome. yeah, there's so much bay area camaraderie among fans. we've seen it all morning as you've been showing us the community and of course the team. teddy buchanan, cal's linebacker, is born and raised here in the bay. so is his brother on the team. and you mentioned marshawn lynch now speaking on the stage. what has been the reaction from fans? >> well, you know, mentioned it briefly going into that live shot. but literally we're standing out here and let me let me stand out of the way just so you can get a wider shot. so directly to the right of me, you see the field goal set up. and you can see that up in the air

there. that's i mean, this is where we've been most of the day. the minute marshawn lynch came up, he came up in a little golf cart over there and everybody just ran in that direction and got some shots. he was it looked like he was smoking a cigar over there. but they love their beast mode. they love marshawn lynch, who played for this cal bears team many years ago. but it's been fun out here. >> so much fun. so much anticipation for the big day. well j.r. thanks so much for all your reporting out there. it's going to be a hot party lisa. >> oh yes. and in fact hotter than we were on friday. the weekend. well we are going to be anywhere from 17 to maybe 20 degrees above average. and that translates to about ten degrees warmer than yesterday downtown. and also over in berkeley. so highs today in the mid 90s. they're almost as hot for sunday for some of you. but we do see an end to this excessive heat. i'll talk abou

but our problems get worse. they say this is the best that we can do. they blame the system, but they built the system. i have a plan to change it. with accountability and rooting out corruption, we can tackle our housing and drug crisis, clear the tent encampments and bring our businesses back. are you ready to stop settling and start demanding more? join me in changing city hall.

memorial stadium tonight, and that game kicks off on our sister network espn, starting at 730. meanwhile, the niners are gearing up for a tough three game stretch, and it all starts with the cardinals tomorrow in santa clara. here's abc seven sports director larry beil. >> good morning everybody. the 40 niners dealing with a rash of injuries. the schedule is definitely not kind here. the niners play the cardinals then seattle. so if you squeeze in the previous patriots game, that's going to be three games in 12 days. fred warner had the pick six last week. and george kittle are questionable limited in practice. but we'll probably give it a go. and fred looked pretty good running around yesterday after arizona on sunday just three days of rest. and you have to include a travel day to get to seattle for thursday night football. george kittle with advice for some of his younger niner mates. >> when we played on sunday, you're playing three games in 12

days and that's a lot of football, so like what coach shanahan has always preached since i've been in the league, and it took me a while to understand that was like, sleep's the most important thing. so like, hey guys, try not to stay up late playing nba two k please go to sleep at a good time. get your body maintenance in uh- get off your feet as much as possible, watch as much film as possible and just be ready for this. this game. because as soon as the game is over, the way that next week's going to hit you with the information and everything, it's like, if you're not ready for it, you're going to fall so far behind and it's just you're not going to be ready for it. and then that's how you don't play well on thursday. so we're focused on this one, but just be ready to get going quickly next week. >> the warriors preparing for their first preseason game. they're in hawaii. dubs brought in some veterans to bolster the bench, and in keeping with tradition, steve kerr will not tell us his starting five. >> yeah, i'm not going to make that decision until i have to, but it's going to be hard for sure. we got a lot of guys who are worthy of playing time. we feel like it makes a lot of

sense to play fast, and that we have the personnel to do it, but the only way it works is if you take care of the ball and you get get good shots, and that's what we're really working hard on. >> a huge saturday for cal hosting espn's college gameday, starting bright and early 6 a.m. is when they started the show. fans can go home and sleep because the game against miami is not until 7:30 p.m. marshawn lynch will be on game day as the guest picker, the celebrity picker, and he told pat mcafee about the expected weather conditions. >> but what should i be expecting from that place? marshawn? >> you should. you should be expecting a lot of dope smoke. >> okay, i like that. a lot of dope smoke. okay. so it's going to be cloudy in berkeley. it's going to be cloudy in berkeley. >> very cloudy. you understand what the forecast in berkeley say. cloudy. i think it's just like that in the bay area. period. >> traffic and weather with marshawn. funniest picture of the week. spurs training camp chris paul warrior last year.

he's about six feet tall. victor wembanyama is seven four and that would be the long and short of it. that's a wrap on morning sports. have a great weekend everybody i'm larry beil and if you're heading out to berkeley to watch cal face miami, get ready for a hot game. >> right elise. >> yes. ten degrees warmer than yesterday. we were going in the right direction yesterday, but now it's a reversal as high pressure is building in to the south of us. zero wind here from our roof camera, you can see how sunny it is and how mild with low 60s redwood city near 70 hayward and san jose. and what a gorgeous view of the golden gate bridge if you're lucky enough to be on the water. 8-80 can you believe it? it is going to be excessively hot all around the bay area. 59 santa rosa. up to over 100 today in livermore is at 64. relative humidity. well, we're down to 26% in napa. so throughout the afternoon we'll either drop off or pretty much stay where we are. so dangerously dry out there looking for records today, tomorrow. today should be hotter

than tomorrow. a few degrees of cooling in san francisco. high fire danger, though it has been breezy in the upper elevations and probably as dry as it gets around here. but the cooldown getting started tomorrow with an onshore flow just limited to the coast, then more so around the bay on monday and then tuesday. everyone cools off in berkeley today it's in the 70s and will be this morning. we'll be looking at upper 80s to near 90 by 1:00. afternoon temperatures will be in the mid 90s by 5:00 93. and you can see those light winds keeping it in the upper 70s by later on this evening. and it is going to be a scorcher tomorrow. levi stadium 100 degrees. by the time the game ends. but all that partying and tailgating by noontime 1:00 in the mid 90s. so really heat that you have to be careful today and tomorrow will be the last days that we'll be experiencing this in our seven day outlook. so that's the good news. 103 a couple degrees warmer in oakland today, 95 in concord i should

say we talked about berkeley and oakland, 102 santa rosa on the peninsula, 7 to 8 degrees warmer. the accuweather seven day forecast. so excessively hot today. tomorrow. limited cooling at the coast and then monday. notice we're out of the triple digits stephanie. >> all right lisa thank you. coming up next. it was the perfect night to get out and enjoy a movie and connect with nature. quite literally. it's the event that brought this community t

it's so much fun. last night they screened the princess and the frog at the india basin shoreline park, right near bayview here in san francisco. and these free outdoor movies attract tons of people from all over the neighborhood. sundown's last movie of the summer, the nightmare before christmas a fitting time, will play at mclaren park on october 18th. so fun! it's going to be hot weather for it. >> oh my. yes, we are going up

in the wrong direction. unfortunately for the weekend. scorching hot, dangerously hot temperatures today. anywhere from 2 to 10 degrees warmer than yesterday. look at those 80s on the coast. half moon bay 82. we could be near 90 up at stinson. you look at all the triple digits. now this is going to stick around for your sunday. except at the coast. we'll see an onshore flow in the accuweather seven day forecast brings in modest cooling as we get to monday. but then by tuesday it's a little bit above average. wednesday, thursday and friday we are back to some very comfortable weather, but you have to be really careful out there. we're looking at this excessive heat sticking around another 4 to 8 hours. >> all right lisa thank you for that update. and thank you all
