This program is an embarrassment to our beloved alma mater. You have players and coaches running on the field and hugging after barely surviving this game. UNLV is a perpetual FBS doormat in an vastly inferior conference. We’re a founding football member of the PAC 12 and arguably the worlds best public university. This is the best team we can field? Pathetic.

Wilcox, Players, Athletic Administration: look in the mirror, raise yourself to the level of excellence required to properly represent CAL.

The same nonsense again??? Cal plays down to level of competition and practically loses to another shitty team. Every year of wilcox tenure..There's something deeply flawed with the mgmt and Cal ADs....they accept and tolerate such incredible mediocrity. There's no expectation or goal of excellence..and sadly they seem to have no shame.

The Bears break my heart even when they win sometimes.

On the blitzes at the end: "good job by the defensive staff getting the protection they wanted and then Daniel has been a playmaker for us for a while and he made plays, and that's what we expect from a leader. It was a big deal".

Defensive effort: "pretty solid overall. We could have rushed the quarterback better in the first half but they have good players like white and Brumfield, they put up 45 in the first half of their opener. Late in the game we had good pressures and big stops".

Wilcox on red zone efficiency: "real good the first two drives, not good enough the rest of the way".

Post game press coming up in a bit. Going to try and get some quotes for y'all.

I guess I just can't understand how the offense never seems to be able to play a complete game.

At this point this is just what Wilcox era teams are, expecting anything different is “shame on me” territory.

How can the offense look so good in the first half, and so bad in the second?

Expand full comment

Well, the defense was good apart from the one run bust. The offense...needs a lot of work. I'm not a fan of the give-up-and-punt playcalling at the end either.

Musgrave, or Aristotle Thompson, should be fired for not having Ott in on the final series.

Baffling. A deserve-to-lose call.

When a win feels like a loss.

Order of firing:

1. Angus

2. Musgrave

3. Wilcox

I should really work on my cardio before the season...

Our last offensive drive was abhorrent. I am livid. Also, we're really missing Mettauer and Brett Johnson on our two lines.

Fittingly, Cal gets a last seconds interception to close out their blowout (by Cal-Wilcox standards) 20-14 win over UNLV!

Expand full comment

Hey we finally won a close one. Just need 4 more of those this year to go our way.

Will do anything for a good OL

I need advil after this game. Live tweets were not easy with some of these plays lol.

Lucky. Should not have been this close. Disappointed in offense play calling. Line needs help. Gale D bailed them out. Either way it is a win. Go Bears. F the Irish next week.

Bill Musgrave should not be paid for the rest of the season. His contract should be split between all the defensive players

Defense wins championships, amirite?

Cool. 2-0.

I've already forgotten this game.

Bears are going to get worked by an angry Irish next week. Ugh

Survival!!!

They don’t even show the important part of the replay. The foot we know is in, does the ball move after?

Expand full comment

Free timeout for LV

Expand full comment

Yep, one foot IMO.

Expand full comment

that is a completion, methinks

This is the day for me to stop sniffing glue.

In anticipation, I’ve already pulled the cord on my main chute on way down to earth.

Right, time to fire Musgrave.

Expand full comment

Is wilcox braindead?

Expand full comment

This game is on the coaches. Foolish foolery.

You gotta take a safety here right? Bleed as much time, don’t risk a block, etc…

We deserve to lose.

head scratching offense.

Expand full comment

We’ll they didn’t throw but not inspiring run plays

Expand full comment

cowardly playcalling. offense can save so much time in college with the first down stoppages.

Expand full comment

Straight up surrender ball.

Expand full comment

I am a Musgrave believer but that play calling plus not having your best player on the field is a fireable offense.
