Cal fans: I'm not sure that our problems are because of an indifferent administration. They spent $500 million on a new stadium and athletic facility and they are going to spend up to $100 million on a new basketball facility. They may not be like administrators at Ohio State, UCLA or U$C who absolutely bow before football and/or basketball, but I don't see an absolute indifference or disdain for those sports either. Cal can be successful in football and basketball. Look no further than what Tedford and Montgomery (even Cuonzo) were able to do while they were here. We regularly contended for bowl games, NCAA berths, etc. and the stands were full. Cal just has to get all of the ingredients right again (coaching, recruiting, graduation, alumni support, etc.) and we will bounce back again. No offense, but there is no reason that we should be getting out-recruited by Oregon State, Wazzu, Colorado and Utah. Cal is the #1 public university in the nation (I don't care what FUCLA says, they aren't even close but they raise more money) and we need to keep leveraging that to recruit the players we need.
Plummer has guts, no doubt (some of which will be visible due to inadequate protection). Thought it was Millner time after USC built their lead but this was a tenacious comeback.
That pick toward the end of the 1st half felt like a dagger (and may have been).
I was watching the Red Box Bowl, and towards the end, the talking heads were talking about the offensive assistants needing to be replaced. That period after the bowl leading into 2020 just seemed to throw a wrench in the mess. Whiffing on Musgrave, and the O line coach, along with the Covid non-year. It seems like there was clear upward trend coming out of the 2019 season and it got derailed and it feels like it’s never been uprighted since then. People didn’t love Beau Baldwin, but damn, the line was blocking, wide receivers were blocking. It was functional.
seeing the offense "wake up" just makes the pathetic performances against Colorado, WSU and UW that much more inexcusable.

Thanks Rick.

Let's right the ship. 3 games to go and three wins!
Go Bears!!!
Wow I just woke up after going to bed at the end of Q3. How did our offense get us within 6??? That’s crazy. Good job!
