Re: the loaded line on the extra point. We should have taken a delay of game penalty rather than kick it right into the forest of trees on the left side of the line, Could see the inevitable block coming. Also Wilcox should have gone for two.

On the bright side, we are probably the best 0-3 team in the nation.

And look at how we've made other teams' dreams come true. We are the most generous of college football cultures.

We don't seem to have the bravado of Weaver on defense, the "better culture" that he epitomized.

At the conclusion of the OSU upset over the Ducks, Rod Gilmore had, of course, to state what a huge dissappointment it is to the PAC 12. I've always had little interest in the fostering of the PAC 12 tribe mentality. Cynically seeing as its base as a rent-seeking angle.

That is surprising because usually all he can talk about is how some Furdy player is going to become a neurosurgeon or professor. He makes me want to puke.

Oregon state just beat the Ducks. Nothing makes sense this season

I dunno.' We beat OSU, last year, in a VERY close game. I think OSU is for real.

This wasn't THAT surprising.

While Oregon is likely galaxies better than us right now...they're not a dominant team. I've taken full advantage on betting against their gaudy-ass spreads this year.

After watching the Wilcox presser, Rangle is a goner by tomorrow.

Expand full comment

As much as I would love to see him fired, it's difficult this season with Covid getting new coach to arrive on campus in time for next pri

Practice

I doubt it. He might be a goner once this season is over but not before. To be honest, I don’t think he will fire him. A lot of coaches are going to get a Covid mulligan and second chance.

I want a COVID mulligan...I’ve LOVED Indiana since the Randle-El days

So Ohio State/Illinois is canceled tomorrow. If there’s any modicum of justice left in the dumpster fire cesspool that is 2020, then the dipshit Buckeyes will be left out of the CFP, for whatever reason.

Expand full comment

I really hope you're right but this is CFB and that is Ohio State so they will not be left out and the CFB playoffs will proceed.

If they get another game canceled they’re ineligible for B10 Championship Game I believe

Cmon Covid!!

Ya, they likely have to play BOTH Sparty & Harbaugh to clinch berth & they have a full-on COVID breakout on their hands.

You know what sucks? Besides not going for two in a meaningless game in a meaningless season, that is. The fact that (and no offense to all of you fine people) there are 42 comments about the Big Game on what I thought was the best Cal site on the web. We are a lost program. If we were ever found, that is.

Not sure what you are seeing but the second half thread has well over 400 comments.

Expand full comment

Not sure what you mean. I see 425 comments in the second half alone.

Expand full comment

Just brutal. Absolutely brutal.

Expand full comment

At least we are not 0-4

Expand full comment

Our best bet is for Oregon or WSU to get shut down for COVID and schedule a crappy MWC team

Expand full comment

Oregon State beat Oregon so there is some hope for next week even without COVID.

Expand full comment

or a cupcake in week 7

This is going to make next weekend's upset win over Oregon that much sweeter

Expand full comment

maybe not anymore since they're looking to bounce back from losing THEIR rivalry game...they're going in dry

LOL. I got an email, Fox Sports Insider, and the title is "The Rams Are Right Where They Want To Be" with Goff's photo on the front.

We have them right where we want them. We're so good at this!

Knowing what I know now, I would have preferred to not play this season at all.

Exactly. F-You Ryan Day

I don't know any special teams coordinator other than the ones we've had. Who should we hire?

I feel that UCLA had good kickers in the last decade. former UCLA ST Coach and 2016 Pac12 recruiter of the year Scott White is now ST coach at SJSU. Maybe he's good.

Expand full comment

Is Frank Beamer available? Coaching Cal's special teams is something like a retired person working as a greeter at Walmart.

To be a Cal fan is to embrace pain . . . guess the nice thing about being more removed from my time at Cal is that life events force me to care less about Cal losing

Reassign Ragle to recruiting coordinator and find someone who can manage ST because if you didn't block 34 with the back 2 only being jumpers then you might as well put me in there.

Let's hire Alamar again. Oh nvm he's on the Furd staff
