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.

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?

Expand full comment

Stanford has the edge 10-8

Expand full comment

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!

Expand full comment

No. Genuinely curious. I think Stanford usually the close ones.

We'll always have The Play.

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.

Expand full comment

Agreed. And a Cal fan since 1976.

Expand full comment

Sorry to hear.

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.

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

eh, 'rona year; they can have it.

I blame Ohio State for dragging us back into this mess of season

Expand full comment

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.

Expand full comment

well that was disappointing.

Expand full comment

It really sucks when you lose 2 games that you should have won.

Expand full comment

We’re not winning a game this year.

Expand full comment

Nope. For the 3rd straight game this year we end an opposing team's losing streak

Expand full comment

When do we end ours

Expand full comment

August 2021

Expand full comment

Boo. Wilcox is really losing some steam this year.

Expand full comment

It's really sucks to lose a game you should have won.

Expand full comment

yeah, he really needs to hone his Covid-coaching

Expand full comment

In back to back weeks

Expand full comment

Yet another reason to hate 2020. Just gave the axe back on a silver platter

Expand full comment

Tough loss

Expand full comment

We lost. Stanford didn’t beat us. We fucking lost.

Expand full comment

Axe thrown away

Expand full comment

Ragle needs to go before he even gets to the locker room. Just mail him his things.

Expand full comment

If we have a depleted oline their ST took advantage of that fact and schemed for it

Expand full comment

I agree. However, that’s also on Wilcox. You can’t play for OT in these circumstances.

Expand full comment

I mean I fully expected the block after all the close misses (and block) this game.

Expand full comment

Coug’d it

Expand full comment

Yep, we're the U.C. Cougars!

Expand full comment

That's tough to do....offsides and still can't get a hand not he ball

Expand full comment

Okay D; pick 6

Need a scoop and score

Expand full comment

Can we just kick a FG on kickoff from furd 35? Lol

Expand full comment

I thought you could

Expand full comment

It would be blocked anyway

Expand full comment

Damn damn damn damn damn....

Expand full comment

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?

Expand full comment

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.

Expand full comment

This IS the Big Game...let's see what happens...

Expand full comment

Backup OL doesn't help...

Expand full comment

Onside kick?

You expect our ST to make a play?

Unspecial teams.

Ragle is a dead man walking

Expand full comment

We can get 3*'s from anywhere...he's not getting 4 or 5*'s from AZ so shitcan him already

Expand full comment

Is Ragle fired yet? That Wazzu guy that Trevor Davis got fired did comparably less to get canned.

Expand full comment

We all knew that would happen.

Expand full comment

Why did we even put ST on the field. Should have gone for two with offense

Expand full comment

Make that 11 points

Expand full comment

Shit

Expand full comment

OMG! FUCKING GOD! Blocked PAT? ??????

Expand full comment

I told my wife that would happen when the drive started. You gotta go to win it Wilcox. That’s horrendous.

Expand full comment

Longhetto kicks have been ugly all year. Even the 52 yarder was gross. I hold my breath...this was pathetic.

Expand full comment

I think the Line was responsible, but I will wait for a consensus to emerge.
