These referees not letting my Trond Grizzell agenda come to fruition

Justbear's avatar

oh he caught a break

TD_24's avatar

Jeff Tedford’s Fresno State bulldogs up 32-28 early Q4 at Purdue👀

OldSoCalBear's avatar

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

Bowlesman 80's avatar

Go Tedfords.

Psst... no throwing batteries.

TD_24's avatar

We are so back, for those who come to Dokkabeir see y’all there 🫡

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.

KetamineCal's avatar

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).

GoldenSD81's avatar

Has GK entered the witness protection program? I haven’t seen or heard about him since the conference crumbled under him.

OldSoCalBear's avatar

he was at the CFB playoff meetings

GoldenSD81's avatar

Why would the Pac12 waste the money for a hotel, flight and per diem to send him? Hopefully he attended via Zoom.

FromCtoShining(Blue)C's avatar

He's just waiting for that $50 mil/school deal to be finalized. Any day now...

GoldenSD81's avatar

Any day now, the longer we wait the better the deal gets!

Bearly Rational's avatar

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.

Rugbear's avatar

The PAC12 is gonna be good this year.

GoldenSD81's avatar

It really is. At least the Pac12 will go out with a bang instead of a whimper.

Bowlesman 80's avatar

PAC12: We're bitter and going out with a bang!

Clbear's avatar

Ere the sun rises!

GoldenSD81's avatar

Yeah, very depressing. Colorado with Prime and a resurgent Pac12 would have probably gotten a very good media deal.

Rob Hwang's avatar

Y’all need to come to the Write for Cal Away Game Watch Party Cz the VIBES WERE IMMACULATE.

Bowlesman 80's avatar

We're Immaculate, now.

Christened last year with the Immaculate Encroachment at Norte Dame.

Rugbear's avatar

G'night all. Go Bears!!

Justbear's avatar

We gotta celebrate the victory. You can't go to sleep yet

Rugbear's avatar

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.

Bowlesman 80's avatar

LOL.

An embarrassment of riches.

FromCtoShining(Blue)C's avatar

It's weird to hear us described as being too big and too physical for another team

Justbear's avatar

but are we flying around? because that's also important.

Rugbear's avatar

That's what 50 guys from the Transfer Portal will do for you.

TD_24's avatar

Well I did say we would see 2 QB’s…….not like this

Calbears93's avatar

Cal NIL targets $1 million goal in 72 hours; Ron Rivera pledges matching $500,000 donation

GoldenSD81's avatar

Ron is a great man. I would love to see Goff, Rodgers, Lynch and other former NFL guys do the same.

Justbear's avatar

Lynch and DJax are running this NIL

OldSoCalBear's avatar

Rodgers gave a million for the locker room; I think he's paid up

GoldenSD81's avatar

You’re right, I forgot about that gift.

sacman701's avatar

We didn't need the points, but the kicking unit needs reps.

Rugbear's avatar

That should have been a PI for face guarding.

FromCtoShining(Blue)C's avatar

Good guy ref just wanted to make sure we practiced kicking FGs

ak_A_bear's avatar

For sure. Blatant.

TezCalipoca's avatar

yeah, why wasn't the interference, guy was never looking and went straight into the reciever

Rugbear's avatar

The refs just trying to keep the points down.

Daddy's avatar

Holy shit ott looks faster than last year

Daddy's avatar

Let’s fucking go! I’m so pumped.

stackiebear's avatar

WHAT A GREAT DAY TO BE A GOLDEN BEAR!

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

OldSoCalBear's avatar

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

Justbear's avatar

better than Plummer, Bowers, Maynard for sure.

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

Bowlesman 80's avatar

Yeah, but Bowers had the flip, eh?

FromCtoShining(Blue)C's avatar

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

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...

PCWT's avatar

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

GoldenSD81's avatar

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

FromCtoShining(Blue)C's avatar

1 hour, 50 minutes for a half. Yep, the new clock rules are clearly working...

CalGal2004's avatar

Can I direct my $$$ gift to a revitalized marketing plan and bury that “you see” garbage in a concrete tomb once and for all?

GlueAndBold's avatar

Alas, there goes the dream of #Drop60.

Perhaps in another game (that feels incredible to say)

Justbear's avatar

In throwback Joe Roth jersey

Rugbear's avatar

Well, with our first team it might have been drop 90.

Bowlesman 80's avatar

Just so everyone is clear.

NT is FBS; AAC; no cupcake.

Justbear's avatar

Some people suggested we stay in Pac12 and expand. Imagine being in conference with teams that many people mistake as FCS...

OldSoCalBear's avatar

sun belt until this year I think. But six straight bowl games, or something like that

KetamineCal's avatar

CUSA. Sun Belt before that.

Justbear's avatar

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

Rugbear's avatar

I wanna let Mendoza air it out a bit. Get him comfortable.

jakewebs's avatar

ROLL ON YOU BEARS! Spav is the man!

OldSoCalBear's avatar

Memorial should be rocking on Saturday night.

Justbear's avatar

I will have to fly up there. Gotta buy ticket.

docsuess84's avatar

It sure was beautiful watching the running game gain positive yards even when the play call was obvious. I missed having an O-line exert its will.

GlueAndBold's avatar

After much consideration I've determined that I love scoring points

KetamineCal's avatar

And giving up fewer (RIP TCU).

ak_A_bear's avatar

Yes. And it does take a bit to sink in that we are doing it.

Oski Disciple's avatar

We are? So I'm NOT dreaming.

GlueAndBold's avatar

Well, your screen name is Daddy and I don't know mine...

Rugbear's avatar

306 yards rushing and 312 passing with 11:42 to go.

Trilljester's avatar

Lol that Primetime beat Sonny Dykes. Also I love Jayden Ott.

mrjpark's avatar

Imagine if Spav had just stayed like Wilcox wanted him to.

Justbear's avatar

We would be in Big 10 next year

GoldenSD81's avatar

Did Wilcox want him to stay?

Bowlesman 80's avatar

Yes. But Jake wanted to be a HC.

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.

CalGal2004's avatar

Special Teams got a bit of homework. Will need all those missed points next week.

GlueAndBold's avatar

How is that not pass interference?

Oski Disciple's avatar

They didn't see that but they saw a phantom catch. Ridiculous.

Rugbear's avatar

The Dozer in at QB!

royrules22's avatar

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

Rugbear's avatar

UNT is FBS...Davis is FCS.

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.

royrules22's avatar

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

Justbear's avatar

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

Rugbear's avatar

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.

KetamineCal's avatar

OL looking good to you based on the limited info?

Rugbear's avatar

Our depth has made them look better as time goes on, even with Cindric out.

Old Bear 71's avatar

Good enough to wear down Texans IN Texas.

Trilljester's avatar

#Drop50 or maybe #Drop60??

Bowlesman 80's avatar

Damn, Finley throwing some bullets!

ak_A_bear's avatar

Have not seen that frequency of precision, seems to me, in while.

Rugbear's avatar

Finley is looking sharp. I think he's our new #1 QB.

Justbear's avatar

This gives us more confidence and can understand why it took a while to name QB1

Rugbear's avatar

If we can keep our lead I'd like to see Mendoza get some time as well.

Bowlesman 80's avatar

And Mendoza is not shabby.

FromCtoShining(Blue)C's avatar

Jesus, these announcers are both so lost.

BearlyThere's avatar

Too many mimosas before kickoff

TezCalipoca's avatar

and then they put them on camera once or twice and they looked all sweaty and nervous. has to be the F team

JoJoSungy's avatar

At the game. Overcast and not overbearingly hot. North Texas band is pretty good

FromCtoShining(Blue)C's avatar

Which makes that stupid piped in music even more of a crime.

FromCtoShining(Blue)C's avatar

Color guy came in here not expecting to talk about our rushing attack? Seriously?

OldSoCalBear's avatar

our secondary has been average since Alexander left

KetamineCal's avatar

Mendoza getting in on the fun now.

Justbear's avatar

We are playing backup QB? Is that allowed?

FromCtoShining(Blue)C's avatar

I feel like we haven't done that since the Tedford years

Rugbear's avatar

When you drop 55, yes!

FromCtoShining(Blue)C's avatar

Drop 55 AND not give up the same

sacman701's avatar

I remember that stupid game in Pullman where they Coug'd a point blank field goal at the end and we won 62-61 or whatever.

FromCtoShining(Blue)C's avatar

The one where Connor Halliday broke the FBS passing record and Trevor Davis ran back two kickoffs for TDs?

Justbear's avatar

We have WR #9 T. Davis to do it again this year.

sacman701's avatar

That's correct, just looked it up. 2014.

TezCalipoca's avatar

we are playing the 3rd string QB, thats definately not allowed!

royrules22's avatar

#Drop50 is back baby!

TezCalipoca's avatar

welp, lets see the next QB, no?

Rugbear's avatar

If they don't its just because they want Finley to get a many reps as possible...we play Auburn next week.

KetamineCal's avatar

Good point.

Availability of Jackson and Cindric for practice will be a huge question this week.
