It’s what they call a 6 pointer in soccer. It counts twice as much when you beat your rivals head to head. + 3 points for you, -3 points for them

If Wilcox somehow rights the ship and squeezes 8-wins out of this team next year, it will be because he finally hired a competent offensive coaching staff…namely, Famika Anae!

Yes, right the ship! If we had a decent offensive line this year and a kicker, we could have gotten there. Now we also need a QB. GO BEARS!

I think Harris, the current QB Cal has, is going to be a good one. He showed well in the first half of the bowl game before he got injured and we had to then play a "raw" freshman rookie. But you're right, we need to find another QB to make sure we have a QB room with several good athletes.

4’s a little high for a guy that can’t read a defense…

Can we get the #Calgorithm cranked up to get a top level QB’s attention now?!

Raiding Furd for an OL makes me feel happy and Grinchy. Such a critical position.

Home teams (all of which dominated the opposition) in the first round OL players were really, Really big. If I recall, aveage was About 315 lbs and 6’ 2” or taller.

And, they were good athletes. Size means nothing if the guy is not a talented athlete.

Two of these three transfers meet the eye test. I hope more really big boys who have quick feet are coming!

Islanders are pretty amazing. Big flat feet. Bones like Fred Flinstone. They move well. Coke machines on wheels. They hurt when you hit them. I like this a lot!!

I like the o line being prioritized. I hope we also get a QB

If I’m a QB and see these upgrades on the OL, I’m checking out the Bears. And Cade staying on D is someone to build that side of the ball around.
