That is really hard to swallow. Even in a pandemic year with less than normal practices, that was pathetic by ST. Did you see that the guy who blocked the PAT just knifed right through the line? That was a total failure to block or line up correctly. Every team in America wants to block the PAT and rarely do. But us. If Wilcox doesn't make a change at ST then he is putting his own neck in the noose.
I know you may be trying to find a ray of sunshine here, but valiant efforts by our team were three times or more thwarted by our own mistakes. This was a major Charlie Foxtrot!
I don't think ANY loss from this year belongs on the "worst-of" list, tho. I mean, this IS Cal we're talking about. Honestly, this season was a joke of a shit-show even BEFORE we lost our whole D line, and then O line, for Games (plural), due to COVID. Disheartening, yes, and I'll never be one to judge the way ANY Cal fan processes a loss...but while the bloom is maybe off the Wilcox rose a little bit for me in terms of his coaching hires (Ragle the latest), even 0-6 in this dogshit season doesn't move my needle.

Well, there's goes my last expectations for 2020. Hope everyone have a safe and peaceful rest of the year!
How many Big Games have been decided by 3 points or less? How many in Cal’s favor?
Stanford has the edge 10-8

No. Genuinely curious. I think Stanford usually the close ones.
We'll always have The Play.
*usually wins

That Big Game loss was one of the most painful Cal losses I have experienced in over 40 years of Cal sports. And we gave it away.
Agreed. And a Cal fan since 1976.
Sorry to hear.

I still blame Ohio State. Fock them
The pain is real. And for Old Blues, it's a customary sensation sprinkled throughout several decades. LOL
ALL MY HOMIES HATE CHARLIE RAGLE
Really
eh, 'rona year; they can have it.
I blame Ohio State for dragging us back into this mess of season
Exactly. I've been shouting this from Tightwad Hill from the get-go. FOCK Ohio State. The ONLY reason the Pac12 is playing is bc of Ohio State.
well that was disappointing.
It really sucks when you lose 2 games that you should have won.
3
We’re not winning a game this year.
Nope. For the 3rd straight game this year we end an opposing team's losing streak
When do we end ours
August 2021
Boo. Wilcox is really losing some steam this year.
It's really sucks to lose a game you should have won.
yeah, he really needs to hone his Covid-coaching
In back to back weeks
Yet another reason to hate 2020. Just gave the axe back on a silver platter
Tough loss
We lost. Stanford didn’t beat us. We fucking lost.
Axe thrown away
Ragle needs to go before he even gets to the locker room. Just mail him his things.
If we have a depleted oline their ST took advantage of that fact and schemed for it
I agree. However, that’s also on Wilcox. You can’t play for OT in these circumstances.
I mean I fully expected the block after all the close misses (and block) this game.
Coug’d it
Yep, we're the U.C. Cougars!
That's tough to do....offsides and still can't get a hand not he ball
Okay D; pick 6
Need a scoop and score
Can we just kick a FG on kickoff from furd 35? Lol
It would be blocked anyway
Damn damn damn damn damn....
Honestly. This is on Wilcox. They blocked a kick earlier and were inches away from blocking the last extra point.
Our defense is absolutely gassed. Why the hell do you play for OT?
Especially in this season that doesn’t really mean much. This is our bowl game!! Play to win!! Terrible decision by Wilcox to play for OT.
Backup OL doesn't help...
Onside kick?
You expect our ST to make a play?
I expect them to cause maximum chaos on the field.
Need a band in the field
Can cutouts march?
We have all our timeouts?
We do
Ragle is a dead man walking
We can get 3*'s from anywhere...he's not getting 4 or 5*'s from AZ so shitcan him already
Is Ragle fired yet? That Wazzu guy that Trevor Davis got fired did comparably less to get canned.
We all knew that would happen.
Why did we even put ST on the field. Should have gone for two with offense
Make that 11 points
Shit
OMG! FUCKING GOD! Blocked PAT? ??????
I told my wife that would happen when the drive started. You gotta go to win it Wilcox. That’s horrendous.
Longhetto kicks have been ugly all year. Even the 52 yarder was gross. I hold my breath...this was pathetic.
I think the Line was responsible, but I will wait for a consensus to emerge.
freaking special teams
Pathetic
oy.
FUCKING KNEW IT
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DOOOOOOOOM
omg
hmm, crowd noise is disappointed
Hey my cardboard self is trying
go for two go for two go for two
But you know we are going to play for the tie.
playing for ot
Brown just fucking walked over them into the endzone!
I don’t trust our special teams. Win the game here Bears.
That's why Brown came in late! For the stretch run!
What can Brown do for you??!?!
Win the big game
YESSSS
YEAHHHHH!!!!
