Rob: Change that headline from "The Golden Bears lost to the Pac-12 Conferences worst team" to "Colorado beats the Pac-12 Conference's worst team (us)".
FANTASTIC water polo home victory over U$C. The crowd was electric. Cal now either 1st or 2d nationally. What, were you guys watching some other game today?
(I get SO much more out of my $10 polo tkt than I get out of my entire season tkt for football...)
Apparently according to other outlets Wilcox is "angry" over the loss. Can't blame the kids. This is on him. Time to cut bait and make the tough choice.
-He played here at a time when the program and facilities sucked and was part of the Snyder rebuild and totally understands the difficulties of building/maintaining a program here first hand as a player/alum and as a broadcaster.
-He’s built sustained success at a commuter school and attracted players capable of putting up points and competing with anyone they play.
-I’m assuming Sac State isn’t getting first pick of all the 4 and 5 star recruits, which means he’s developing and coaching the talent he has managed to get to their full potential. Absolutely essential for a program like ours which will never out-recruit the big boys.
-He doesn’t strike me as someone that’s going to sacrifice academics to achieve success.
If Cal isn't the worst team in the conference right now, then who is? At least Arizona went into Seattle today and put up 39 points on the Huskies. Cal would have scored 10 against them today. Stanford got the win on the road at Notre Dame today, and Oregon State is taking care of WSU. This is a 3-9 team with a head coach who pretty much has a guarantee to stay at least through next season.
Wilcox is a lot closer to Tom Holmoe than we all imagined. Let's remember that Holmoe was a defensive guy who had no clue about offense and coached in a lot of close games, just like Wilcox. And then it all disintegrated in Holmoe's last year. As bad as it is now, next season is going to a very dark place, I fear.
And we just extended Wilcox until 2027!! Wilcox could probably go 3-9 this season and he would still be brought back next season for our last season in Pac12 play.
Two seasons in a row of disappointment and as disappointing as last season was, this one feels hopeless.
Just wait until next year. Transfer portal bails and a lousy recruiting class are likely to add to the misery index. And I believe our quarterback has one more year. BTW, if anyone was looking to have their faith restored in watching well coached football, the Utah-USC game tonight was the answer. The game of the year, in my opinion.
In some ways, I feel like we get the results we deserve. We cant get more than 35k to the stadium while we travel to other programs that have worse records than us and sell out.
If we are supposed to recruit better, how can we do that with a 1/2 full stadium?
Greetings from Boulder. That was one of the ugliest games I have ever personally witnessed. The first half was unwatchable. The thing that stood out for me was how disengaged and apart Wilcox was. There are virtually no sidelines at Folsom field and we were sitting right behind the Cal bench, so could closely observe the body language of the team. Wilcox was a passive observer.
Troy Taylor

People need to get fired. This is us coming out of a bye week, instead it looks like everyone was on vacation instead of taking the extra practice.

He’s always angry after a loss. Then changes nothing.
He's angry. Good. He better be.
The question is, is he going to do anything to correct the wrongs of this team? Or he makes no adjustments and he will be angry next week too?
Is it bye week yet?
Is Troy Taylor here yet?
I’m totally on board for a lot of reasons:
-He played here at a time when the program and facilities sucked and was part of the Snyder rebuild and totally understands the difficulties of building/maintaining a program here first hand as a player/alum and as a broadcaster.
-He’s built sustained success at a commuter school and attracted players capable of putting up points and competing with anyone they play.

That would be so sad, when we Wilcox becomes synonymous as Holmoe.
Dump Wilcox
Stanford beats Notre Dame? Looks like we are done this season.
And we just extended Wilcox until 2027!! Wilcox could probably go 3-9 this season and he would still be brought back next season for our last season in Pac12 play.

Plummer should be done. He's not a power five QB
Watch he will be our starter next year too
He will be if Musgrave and Wilcox come back.
Utah coach has ice in his veins. Goes for two and makes it.
His hire was a huge setback for the program. IMHO. Still recovering from that one.
Wilcox? I agree. We will be recovering from this for the next 10 years.
At this point you can make an argument the program is worse off now then the day Wilcox got hired.
I thought Wilcox was the second coming of Tedford. But he could be worse than Dykes because Dykes at least can take credit for #1 overall pick Goff.
Wilcox era is over. It died today.
I agree that it seems that way.
BTW, I never want to hear that Cal needs to win in order to get fans to the game. Boulder has the same rep as Berkeley, and they were sold out.

Let's be honest: there is now no real reason to pay attention to this program for the next 4 years at least.
Wilcox deserved his chance. He got it. Time to move on. We are still paying for yikes, it’s Dykes.
How are we still paying for Dykes?
Wilcox is an incompetent disgrace, plain and simple. He finally has a team he has 100% recruited, and this is the result.
Perhaps Cal can hire David Shaw to improve their offensive play calling.

Since he's quit on his players, past time for Cal to quit on him.
