Looks like a win for Fresno St. I guess Purdue can console themselves with their massive B10 payout.

Does anyone else find it nuts that the Pac-12 is providing the most entertaining CFB, and yet the curtain is about to fall? It’s astonishing. Idiots. The networks managed to fuck up one more amazing piece of content as they feebly grasp for their waining power.

OSU is ranked and can't find a conference.

The lack of presumed worth is not surprising, though, when the Pac was being shown on a network no one had (especially daytime games).

I just hope we kick the shit out of everyone in the ACC and make all these east coast jocks eat their words. They all show no respect. We have top 10 most nfl alumns. So frustrating. We have terrible PR.

Normally at this point in a game I would turn off the TV because it's game over. But this has happened so rarely with CAL that I am going to savor every second, even with ESNU milking it with all the ridiculous commercials.

Our backup QB is so much better than the "backup QBs" of the past 15 years.

Expand full comment
OldSoCalBear's avatar

both our QBs are better than Plummer was last year, whether from talent or coaching

Expand full comment
Justbear's avatar

better than Plummer, Bowers, Maynard for sure.

Maybe about the same as Chase and Riley so far, which is good enough.

Expand full comment
Bowlesman 80's avatar

Yeah, but Bowers had the flip, eh?

Expand full comment
FromCtoShining(Blue)C's avatar

That week where he was flipping on the r/CFB banner was so fun

Expand full comment
Bowlesman 80's avatar

Oh, yeah, Plummer showed some of the same problems and issues in Louisville's game with Georgia Tech. Limited pocket awareness; failed to scramble; dee in the headlights moments; poor reads...

Expand full comment
PCWT's avatar

from the looks of things, I would say that it was coaching...

Expand full comment
GoldenSD81's avatar

I also think the system is more favorable for a backup to step in and keep the offense at least functional.

We should have one more offensive series for Mendoza. Let's go for 61 points.

We would be in Big 10 next year

GoldenSD81's avatar

Did Wilcox want him to stay?

Expand full comment
Bowlesman 80's avatar

Yes. But Jake wanted to be a HC.

Expand full comment
Justbear's avatar

this is correct

Expand full comment
GoldenSD81's avatar

I just thought that Wilcox didn’t want to run a spread and wanted a more 2 TE, smash mouth, Wisconsin style offense.

Also, Spav wanted to be a HC so he left.

Something tells me that UNT might not have the greatest defense. But given how we did last year against Davis and UNLV, I'm still thrilled

Expand full comment
Rugbear's avatar

UNT is FBS...Davis is FCS.

Expand full comment
Justbear's avatar

We usually played down to opponent's talent level. We couldn't even put FCS teams away. So the fact that we scored 50+, even if North Texas talent is bad, is a good sign of improvement.

Expand full comment
Bowlesman 80's avatar

EXACTLY!

Expand full comment
royrules22's avatar

Exactly. Which is why I'm not discounting this performance

Expand full comment
Bowlesman 80's avatar

Yes, they're AAC.

Expand full comment
Justbear's avatar

I'm so glad we didn't stay in Pac12 and merge with AAC.

What the second half shows me is that we have good top end talent and depth. We are playing IN Texas and owning these guys because we have worn them down.

OL looking good to you based on the limited info?
