Thanks Rick…good stuff.

One thing that was evident in watching this game, as well as the Stanford/Wazzu tilt immediately following, is just how far this Cal team is from actually competing in its current incarnation. I’ve felt for awhile that a different scheme more catered to the actual skills of the players would have this Cal team at least playing better than 3-25, though as others have pointed out, probably not a whole lot better. That said, even 11-17 would look a helluva lot better.

But UW and Wazzu are both decidedly better teams than Cal, yet find themselves treading water near .500 in the P12. We’ve got a long, long ways to go…but it starts with a new leader in Berkeley…

My brother in Cal, Bob (if you jump in this thread), Ole Miss fired their coach Kermit Davis (their version of Mark Fox) last night, with a week to go. Yeah, it's pretty late in the year for that, but they actually had 10 wins! Only 2-13 in conference, but the bar is now set.

Also, I remembered that last year, Chris Mack was fired in January at Louisville after 4.5 seasons of mediocrity...that guy was a major success at Xavier and considered a huge get when first hired. He just never got going on Louisville, now their program is as bad as Cal's.

I don't really care at this point, fire him this week, next week, after the P12 championships...but Knowlton will find a way to completely F this up, just wait.

Peace.

I have said this all year, Cal doesn’t have a div 1 shooter on the team. Not one guy who can consistently shot the ball. I don’t want to hear the injury excuse. Fox has completely missed on recruiting even one good athletic player. This is a complete embarrassment to the program and fans who support the program. Knowlton and Fox need to get walking papers ! Get a quality coach who can recruit quality players, at least players that can create their own shot for crying out loud. Is the season over yet? Uggggg

These officials were the worst I have seen in a college game, men or women's games.
