They looked totally unprepared in this game on both sides of the ball. How do you go from last week to this?

Thomas Parry's avatar

Why would you play JKS in garbage tome and risk injury? Why didn't he start when he was cleared to play? This was the worst loss in my memory. There is a lot to answer for by the coaches after this one.

LosAltosOski's avatar

Was Wilcox’s loss to SDSU equally as bad as today’s game? I was mercifully spared from watching that previous disaster.

This is just bad football across the team.

BearlyThere's avatar

Saw that one in person. IMHO, it was worse.

mrjpark's avatar

SDSU was bad luck in a way. A few bad bounces in consecutive drives buried us. This was different, this was inexcusable.

LosAltosOski's avatar

Good to know. I wasn’t thinking of giving Tosh another pass after today. But he needs to figure out how to coach his team much better than tonight.

I absolutely do not want to hear Tosh throwing execues that tonight’s disaster was due to talent disparity. In the NIL era, every team with resources were able to build up their talent pool. But we clearly don’t not know how to coach our own talents - and that’s 100% on Tosh.

LosAltosOski's avatar

WF played backups in Q4, and we still sucked at stopping the runs that we knew were coming.

The 2nd half was a tie! Yay!

sacman701's avatar

41-7 and it wasn't nearly as close as the score.

LosAltosOski's avatar

Safe to say that Tosh has set a new floor for this team, who on paper had the same talent level as last year’s team.

And we gave him the resources. This is just unacceptable coaching.

What a disaster

CalGal2004's avatar

Well that was a long strange trip. Goodnight all.

Listening for the secret, searching for the sound

But I could only hear the Deacon and the baying of his hounds

"Other times we can barely see..."

SaucyBear's avatar

Fire the trash HC

SaucyBear's avatar

Fuck Lupoi

"dream come true as a head coach with two ballers at quarterback.”

SaucyBear's avatar

Jackson did real well.

This HC should be fired.

Mark's avatar

I am very interested to see how cal uses the two quarterbacks moving forward. I have a feeling we haven't seen the last of Broussard yet.

Justbear's avatar

I hope to only see jks rest of the season

PCWT's avatar

I think this is JKS' decision, not Tosh's...

SaucyBear's avatar

I hope Lupoi is fired after this joke of a show

TadyBear88's avatar

Putting JKS in when it’s 41-0 is coaching malpractice. Anyone with any talent left on this roster will be gone

Justbear's avatar

Our #1 recruit WR decommitted after Clemson game and he recommitted after VT game. He will decommitt tomorrow

Go Eat A Taco's avatar

rumor has it that our QB recruit went to the fUCLA game tonight. Long way til signing day.

PCWT's avatar

Don't think so - he's enrolling early and will be on campus in December, from what I read... he knows he'll definitely get immediate playing time!

Justbear's avatar

Remember Luke Ferreri? He enrolled then signed with another school lol

BerkeleyBear's avatar

What a train wreck this season has been. Cal whiffed on their HC hire and that was all she wrote. Only question now is how long does it take Cal to admit it made a mistake and move on. Normally at Cal it would take 5 years minimum., but with realignment looming they may want to move up the timeline.

Bluehenbear's avatar

It looks like we run same play over and over. To the left sideline.

PCWT's avatar

throwing over the middle takes more time, which could lead to JKS getting hit. My guess is that some of these throws are business decisions...

Swimmie's avatar

Also, for all his lovely qualities JKS doesn’t move that well in a compressed pocket.

Swimmie's avatar

Looks like WF figured that out anyway.

Justbear's avatar

Jks only throws to sidelines. This is same as Somerville offense. Wheres Patt McCann offense for JKS?

GoldenHairs's avatar

Let me guess we’re gunna throw it to the left sideline

Steven Hunter's avatar

Sagapolutele can play yet Tosh didn't start him? What an insult to all of us who paid and showed up to watch that utter abortion of a first half. Fire Lupoi tonight!

PCWT's avatar

JKS starting might not have been Tosh's decision to make...

Swimmie's avatar

On the other hand, this afternoon, in front of a sold-out crowd, #4 Cal knocked off #1 Stanfurd 12-8 in the Big Splash. Maybe time for Tosh to go watch some water polo.

Justbear's avatar

Oh Dorian Thomas is lined up on offense for the first time.

Cici's avatar

I find it hard to believe this chaotic vaudeville coaching disaster wasn’t obvious in off/pre season-yet they hyped it up to get ppl to open their wallets-so wrong

angelcarverblues's avatar

For the record I said it was silly from the beginning

Daniel Lahl's avatar

The TV commentators are talking about their trip to Alcatraz and playing tennis. This is embarrassing.

Justbear's avatar

It better than them talking gibberish which QB should start next week.

Bluehenbear's avatar

Now they call it. Assholes

LosAltosOski's avatar

Was that our first deep pass in this game? As the announcer said - it would be good to even have some deep threat to open up the middle.

We didn’t get that with JB, and we can have that with JKS.

We are certainly paying a lot of money for Tosh to experiment and learn on the job.

Daniel Lahl's avatar

Hey, we just doubled the number of points Furd scored against WF. I wonder if JKS sits after this debacle...

Cici's avatar

Oh the glory days when we were hyped up by Ron & Tosh “We won’t accept less than 8 wins” or whatevs

Justbear's avatar

We are winning the 4th quarter!

Karma's avatar

I thought we were the bottom of the floor with Wilcox. I didn’t know there is basement.

CalGal2004's avatar

JKS pass TD! Yay we scored. Go Bears.

Now I can go home.

Andy's avatar

Mods can we ban this one? Thanks

GoldenHairs's avatar

Just need 5 more of these we got this

holdmybear's avatar

That would be epic

SaucyBear's avatar

Fire Lupoi. He benched JKS?!

Mark's avatar

Touchdown bears!!!!

mrjpark's avatar

This TD just pisses me off more.

SaucyBear's avatar

Fire Lupoi for benching JKS

Cici's avatar

Did we rly spend $30M on this

mrjpark's avatar

$20M. Our budget for next year is $30M.

TezCalipoca's avatar

i thought it was 20?

Swimmie's avatar

Now ur just quibbling…. ;)

TezCalipoca's avatar

thatss a big diff to me!

SaucyBear's avatar

Lupoi "let me give equal snaps to 2nd string and 1st string during spring. Im not going to attend all offensive meetings and trust Sommerville. I'm going to bench JKS in favor of a unknown QB who went like 1-9 last year"

GoldenHairs's avatar

Jks can’t score against their bench players

Bluehenbear's avatar

It’s like the middle of the field doesn’t exist

Mark's avatar

Yeah that's the big knock on JKS this season.

Justbear's avatar

Tosh hired so many of his buddy coaches. And for some reason he kept our worst coach Famika. Why? We need better OL coaching.

LosAltosOski's avatar

At this rate - I wont be too upset if we get zeroed in this game. I’d feel bad for our players, but I hope Tosh would feel embarrassed in his post game interview today.

TezCalipoca's avatar

how will you be able to tell, he just spouts gobbedly gook

Rick Chen's avatar

no, he'll just be mad

Krazy4Cal's avatar

Can anyone clue me in on what's going on around the Cal program right now? Cuz I've been reading some things on X about Jaron being benched there's a qb competition all sorts stuff.

Justbear's avatar

There's no way we have a QB competition after seeing Brousseau this game. He was a one hit wonder.

PCWT's avatar

We'll find out if JKS doesn't start next week, regardless of him playing in this game. If he's not starting next week, then he's decided to sit out the rest of the year to not get hurt and position himself for a bigger bag and better opp to go high in the draft.

Krazy4Cal's avatar

There's also a chance that Jaron wants to play but Tosh didn't let him because there's a QB competition and was benched...quote from tosh. I guess it will all come to light at some point. I'm just passionate about this team and there's a lot of existential dread going on now.

PCWT's avatar

I haven't watched the last 20min of the game and have been reading X, this board, and anything I can find about what the eff is going on right now...

Mark's avatar

Wake Forest's only loss this year was to (at the time) #3 Miami. And their only ranked opponent for the rest of the season is SMU. They are looking at a decent postseason run.

Bluehenbear's avatar

Shot of every cal fan right there

Daniel Lahl's avatar

This is a bad team that is poorly coached. How in the heck did we beat VA TECH? I honestly don't know where the team goes from here, as this is a big mess...

Justbear's avatar

Well I guess we did well containing QB runs. But we forgot to cover receivers today.

Cici's avatar

The Tosh etc hype fest to grab wallet was srsly pre IPO WeWork/Theranos this will be studied!!
