Now, I need to wind down to get some decent sleep….maybe less exasperating than Auburn game.

We weren't going to win this game in any case, but we could have at least not made it so damn easy for them by throwing picks and not covering punts.

We can still beat the spread if we get another garbage time score.

Expand full comment

imagine betting on Cal, then we score but miss another PAT

Expand full comment

We're gonna beat the spread rofl.

Expand full comment

Thanks Brock, despite our fuckups we played a good game. Smdh

Expand full comment

well aside from the bad and mediocre stuff, everything else was good

Expand full comment

He wasn’t a great QB and he’s not a great announcer.

Expand full comment

Well we are getting back into the game

Expand full comment

So you're saying we have a chance!

Expand full comment

We’ll catch up in another three quarters of garbage time.

Marquis Montgomery is a monster.

Geez, I’m on the east coast this weekend and it’s almost 2am. Football scheduling is stupid.

Expand full comment

But we get a lock on the time slot (that half the country doesn’t watch)!

Expand full comment

such is the life of a Cal-Berkeley football fan!

Expand full comment

2/4 on extra points now.

Expand full comment

That was a different kicker. So yes the team is but that kicker is 1/1 :-)

As much as I want/wanted Jackson in at quarterback - he doesn't check his progressions does he? It's one read and throw? Or is that just due to this garbage time?

Expand full comment

Yeah you’re right, Finley is the better option……

Expand full comment

I really think we need to see Mendoza /s

Expand full comment

err...not saying that (even in jest).. just asking about it.

Expand full comment

2nd and goal. Let's see garbage can drill to Trond

Expand full comment

Can Grizzel kick?

Expand full comment

Will Wilcox’s post game presser be more entertaining than Deion’s?

I am debating wether to watch it or not. I can only imagine.

do you like seeing a seething wilcox?

Expand full comment

He needs to look in the mirror

I just went gin with a twist of lime (and an ice cube for the dog). What’s everyone else drinking?

Bear Republic Racer 5. Then a glass of metamucil because I'm old.

Did not the reliable Furd kicker have misses that caused them the game today? Only briefly glanced at the game on mute but could have sworn I saw at least two misses. Kudos to T Taylor for keeping them in the game.

Expand full comment

He missed two 51 yard FG attempts.

Who is RB 0

What a stupid Pac-12 implosion animation.

Worst beat down of Wilcox era? I say yes.

Left at half… sigh…didn’t have spotting UW a 2 touchdown lead before their offense even hit the field on my Bingo card. Much better Cal fans than I stuck around…kudos to hag, HSB, FireStarkey, YesWeCannon and the crew.

I walked 2-miles back to the AirBnB, just in time to see Luckhurst flub another PAT. Left lots of time for Cal reflection. Look, if you’re gonna try and win games the Wilcox way, it’s inexcusable to have such poor PK production. What are we even doing here. We shouldn’t be getting boat raced by any team in year 7 of a HC, let alone by a squad that has had 4 different head coaches during Wilcox’s time.

He should and will be fired - it’s just a matter of when…he doesn’t do a lot of things well, and the most important one for this program’s survival is winning. The longer he’s here, the worse it is for the program when the next, and likely final, round of realignment comes around.

The when can’t come soon enough.

I mean, you’re just spinning your wheels the longer this drags out. You can’t even say he graduates his players anymore because so many of them transferred away, which is going to negatively impact his grad rates.

Can we use NIL to get UWs backup kicker? He can make xps

Expand full comment

calling this garbage time is an insult to garbage

oh boy

Expand full comment

Ugh, that play was pathetic.

Expand full comment

Our backup DL can push their backup OL around.

Expand full comment

I beg to disagree

Expand full comment

anyone know if UW is playing backup OL?

Sep 24, 2023·edited Sep 24, 2023

Honestly, I'd rather see SJV take a solo 2pt conversion by running back to the 50 than see Luckhurst kick another PAT.

Expand full comment

What was the spread?

Expand full comment

21

Expand full comment

So why no SJV til now?

Expand full comment

Can we kick him off

Expand full comment

He's good at kickoffs, but that's it.

Expand full comment

I’d say he’s decent at kickoffs nothing amazing, often short.

Expand full comment

Don't we have a freshman kicker? I know it's important to give your players trust, but Luckhurt has lost us one game and not given us any reason to to trust him before or since.

Expand full comment

yeah there's a backup and Luckhurst is just hurting himself now. needs to sit and regroup for a future opportunity here or elsewhere

Expand full comment
Sep 24, 2023·edited Sep 24, 2023

Yeah, his Cal career may very well be done…just from a confidence perspective. It’s gotta be in his head now.

let's stop kicking pats

Expand full comment

I thought for sure we would get the pat. Sheesh

Expand full comment

He not only misses when it matters but misses when it doesn’t matter

Expand full comment

holy crap luckhurst

Expand full comment

Some nice throws on that sequence.

And we biffed another extra point. There has to be someone on campus who can kick more consistently than Luckhurst can.

Expand full comment

He missed another PAT?!?

Expand full comment

Special teams fuckup #6

Expand full comment

Special teams so bad they can still probably fuck up after the final whistle.

Expand full comment

Is it legal to just pick the football up and throw it through the uprights? I'm not good at sports but that sounds like a better option than what we are doing.

Expand full comment

Does our punter know how to drop kick

Expand full comment

bring back Evan Weaver, he kicked it straight

SJV is so much better than Finley.

Expand full comment

TROND!

Expand full comment

Is it me or does the Offensive line look decent despite all the problems?

Expand full comment

Wasn’t great not terrible though

Expand full comment

We struggle opening holes up the gut without Cindy.

Expand full comment

It at least doesn't look like our weakest link.

Expand full comment

feels like coaching staff wanted to make a statement to SJV

Expand full comment

A statement wouldn't have taken 3 quarters. We didn't even have to wait 3 INTs and 52 points.

Expand full comment

That’s the sign of a coaching staff that knows it can go 4-8 and not get fired.

Expand full comment

Which is an awfully big problem, IMO.

Expand full comment

That we don't care about winning? You're probably right but it's not like he was saying he played well before.
