Thinking outside the box here, but… what if the Big Game was moved up to, say, the second game of the year? That’s how Utah and BYU do it, for example. If we win that rivalry game early in the season, who knows? Maybe momentum could carry through, home attendance might go up and our won/ loss record might improve! (Though I really think that the ‘Big Game’ is whenever we play U$C!)

I cannot wait for the Carolina Panthers to draft DTR and just watch him fail.

Sad to see the season end. Torn on Wilcox. Clearly record is not what it needs to be and not improving in the most important areas 6 years at the helm. Not recruiting quarterbacks is also a problem (Luke Duncan would rather be #3 at UCLA than go to Cal?). Finally punting on Musgrave was a positive sign.

So, what to say? Sad to say but I think it's time for Wilcox to go. 6th season 4-8 record, countless games lost on poor coaching. No demonstrable progress on any front in the game (horrendous offense for the most part and progressively deteriorating defense to say the least), weak recruiting to boot. What is there to gain in keeping Wilcox? What is the worst to happen if we replace him? A new coach who has a 3 win season next year? I would take that all day for the prospect of a team that might improve in season 2 and 3 under that coach.

So, other than that, how was California Memorial Stadium, Mrs. Lincoln?

Sad end to what could have to been a magical comeback. Coughing up the ball twice doomed the Bears

Disappointing season, despite winning. Big game. Changes needed and coming hopefully

The UCLA chant is way more obnoxious than the USC band.

All in all, it was a great season because we beat Stanford. Hoping for more than that is dangerous.

We can only hope that that fumble keeps Ott from transferring next year.

From the Cal perspective, the Bear did not quit, or die, but it was the wrong Bruin.

Because Cal roars like, uh, well, a bear.

That basically sums up our season so in a sense, that is a perfect ending.

How many schools would retain a coach who went 4-8 in his 6th season? Just Cal?

Once again, ending season with a well chapped ass.

Great play by Scott and effort by Charbonnet. Where was the rest of the defense?

Why do I get the feeling that ucla is just yanking our chain.

Bring the house to stop this 4th down attempt.

Expand full comment

So, if we stop, get the ball back, and score. Go for tie or win?

3rd and 9...here's our shot to get off the field.

Kelly is going full Oregon 8 minute offense in us right now.

Man, I thought we were going to rip the ball out there.

Couldn't have a 3 and out on that last drive. Bummer.
