I’m starting to lose my faith in Wilcox. We can blame the OC/DC/ST but damn they all go to up to Wilcox and it’s sloppiness and coaching losing us games.
Played through our player, ref was right there looking straight at it from only a couple feet away. It might be a bit borderline but in no way was that reaction from the announcer acceptable.
These announcers have, uh, a unique take on things. In their world, a horrific bust that leaves a receiver 15 yards behind the closest defender is just a great play by the offense.
I’m not sold on Wilcox at this point. He’ll get a pass due to offensive system change and COVID but I’m unsure he’s the guy to get us back to being good.
Just joining, but this is the CAL team that I expected earlier in the season. We finally got some of our starters back and we've started to pick up Musgrave's offense.

The last 2 minutes encapsulate exactly why were 0-3
Yep, this is our season in a nutshell.

What a homer Oregon announcer
Played through our player, ref was right there looking straight at it from only a couple feet away. It might be a bit borderline but in no way was that reaction from the announcer acceptable.
#15 made significant contact before the ball got there, too bad if it wasn't intentional.
WTF. We made the PAT?????
One week too late
Oregon didn't even try they just stood there
They thought we were going to miss it
Wish they’d just stop the game for a minute so we could learn more about alpacas!
Scoring TD is preferable
Alpacas and Llamas. Not only do they look alike, they taste the same.
This is a bad 2 minute offense

Was that Anusieum ?
Tackling is much better today
Except where we should have had a sack?
Good call as our special teams are so bad
Lol someone else’s special teams sucks too!
It's contagious
Man nice drive
I'm just glad I had my expectations set properly, even when they were up by 11
I had, but my expectations changed in first half of this game
I've made that mistake way too many times. Fool me once...
My wife was saying, when we were up by 11, "Hey, Berkeley could win this."
I said, "Let's just wait a while."
DOOM!
...and we are on verge of being down at the half after being up 11 with 5 min to go.
Yep, this is frustrating and not giving me much confidence in Wilkcox.
I’m not sold on Wilcox at this point. He’ll get a pass due to offensive system change and COVID but I’m unsure he’s the guy to get us back to being good.
Aggressively stupid play calling by mr Musgrave.
I think just stupid play calling
I honestly think the announcers are not in the stadium...they are not seeing anything on the field, or they don’t give a fuck
Do you think you’re the only one who gets to virtually work from home?!?!
They are not
They aren’t there
Did they announce that or do you just know
Start of the broadcast, they showed them in their dens of offices, books in the background, etc
Wow...is this a thing? Not aware of any games doing this
I’ve seen it in other games, not common though. Could be a Berkeley rule?
Awful
Typical undisciplined Oregon team.
Playing dirty and sloppy.
Just joining, but this is the CAL team that I expected earlier in the season. We finally got some of our starters back and we've started to pick up Musgrave's offense.
Is this the Oregon team you expected?
That was horrible....
Brett Johnson is so flipping strong! He is a beast!
Thanks to ducks for extending that last drive
That was a 10 minute drive
Good clock control so far
Wilcox be sending a message to good Ol' Charlie
great call not to kick the FG on 4th. that had "block, taken back for 6 the other way, being the difference in the game" written all over it
I do believe WIlcox is doing everything to avoid STs.
That and really what does he have to lose?
I’d be furious if I were a duck fan
Makes up for the holding cal on the punt
We have to get 7 here....gosh
First time I saw a reverse since Jeremy Ross
Jeremy Ross was such an underrated player. Solid special teams returner and WR.
He had some nice returns in NFL too. Solid player
🐢
Why not just go garbs you the middle 3 straight times
Better to stress us all out and do it on 4th
It wouldn't be cal football otherwise
Funny, but that's more or less what they did. LOL
Okay let's keep drives like this going for rest of game, not just first few minutes of first quarter
Can I get a hellll yeaahhhh?
Ok now!
Drayden!
I'm a young blue, but is this Holmoecaust Part 2?
Only if we only scored on punt returns. There were games that returns were literally our best chance at points.
Ok so we haven't sunk in those kind of depths of despair yet. Thank God...

No
Not even close.
Well that was extremely disappointing
We are setting up the old, “out played them but for a few plays would have won the game” Wilcox defense again.
< screaming into pillow >
That's it, cry it out...
Show me on the gridiron diagram where Oregon scored from.
"Yes, where were you violated?"
Would firing Sirmon at halftime be an overreaction?
This defense is unbelievably inept.
That’s playcall. We put a linebacker in man on Dye in a prevent situation. Stupid as it gets.
Sirmon needs to be replaced. He is average at best as a DC.
Jeez
I can live with not scoring in 2 minutss but how do you let Oregon score?
Stick a linebacker in single coverage deep on a little speed back.
Deng reacted really late
Deng should never had been put in that situation
I think LBs are usually expected to cover RBs.
In zones. Not on deep routes.
Mostly that one play
Yeah but I meant offense. How do you give ball back to Oregon with time on clock. Sigh
Without really trying to get the offense going either during that “two minute” drive.
Really, where's up-the-middle when you need it?
Its demoralizing!
Time for another duck penalty
Where's the flag?
How could they just ignore Alex Morgan. That's impossible
Please don’t let the ducks have the ball before half
Moore, Moore, Moore! How do you like it?
Oldie! LOL
did the ref slap the oregon wr on the butt after the TD?
I don’t want to know what you mean
Lol. Replied to the wrong comment
These espn commercial breaks are interminable
They feel extra long...
We could end the half 20:10 in time of possession
Remigio will finally get to take one to the house WITHOUT anybody holding (pleas?)
