The good, the bad, and the ugly. Don't know what we'll get but it ain't likely to be pretty.

It doesn’t matter when or which network they are on. This might be the worst team any of us have ever seen play for the Bears. I hope I’m wrong. Face palm Oski every game seems likely.

I feel like we're lucky the Pac-12 Network (and ESPN's equivalent, ESPNU) are still willing to televise Cal basketball.

I finally gave up COMCAST and with it the Pac-12 Network. I don't know if the fact that I can't watch all but three Bears MBB games is punishment or salvation.

Well if you want to still see them, Sling offers Pac-12 network (https://www.sling.com/programming/sports/college-football/pacific-12-conference). It's $46/mo total.

A little pricey. I would be better off having kept Comcast. I feel like I should be able to buy a Pac-12 sub for $10-15/mo., but the Pac-12 being the Pac-12, of course I can't.

Pretty much these days the online streaming services are becoming just as bad as cable TV used to be. I just want an a la carte option :/

Salvation...even if this team manages to cobble together a dozen wins, the games are gonna be sooooo ugly.

The only thing I’ve got my fingers crossed for is that Sam Alajiki is just a freak of an athlete and makes an immediate impact, and that Anyanwu shows he was worthy of 4* rankings. I have zero expectation that Bishop O’Dowd will produce an impact P12 player...Rabb largely underachieved his Mickey D AA status.

I wouldn't make Ivan the barometer for all O'Dowd prospects. And Ivan was partly a victim of arriving at the wrong time for his game. Had he graduated a few years earlier, he's a lottery pick. Had he been born a couple of years later, he's developed differently and his game becomes a little more perimeter oriented. He got stuck in the middle at a time when the game was transitioning profoundly. I'm a Cuonzo defender, but I don't think he did Ivan any favors either. Had he even after his freshman year, he would have at least got a contract.
