Oregon State offense looks great. For sure Cal has more talent. Hmmmm.

Expand full comment

Tall TEs

Expand full comment

We chuck it way down field and pray or throw sideways to a running back. We have talk TEs, serviceable or better receivers, and never throw to them. Just hard to understand.

Expand full comment

Possibly the worst I have seen Cal offense play. Horrible play calling. Garbers just not a good passer. We have ZERO intermediate passing game.

Expand full comment

The play designs are horrible too. Either everyone goes deep or everyone stays stays short. No mixing up the routes or decent check downs

Expand full comment

This was just bad on all levels

Donā€™t see another win on the schedule.

Cal football and basketball maybe at all time lows. I donā€™t see that changing any time soon

Expand full comment

Can we fire the AD first?

Expand full comment

Did we just abandon Tight Ends? They didn't catch or block

Expand full comment

This is the type of loss that can destroy the morale of a team and a program. The Wilcox era is in big trouble.

Expand full comment

Every throw is either a check down or over the top. Never a slant, never a deep cross, never a seam route. Nothing ever in the middle 10 yards downfield. Why?

Expand full comment

100% my biggest frustration with the program with Garbers at QB.

Expand full comment

Exactly. I donā€™t understand it. Been years without that. Every mediocre program can execute that.

Expand full comment

I was a Wilcox fan until now. This program needs grow some balls and just fire him. We done Iā€™m ready for a new coaching staff

Expand full comment

I still like Wilcox. But I want a new HC

Expand full comment

Well Wazzu outplayed us in every phase. They took advantage of the opportunities presented and we didnā€™t. Points for that one TD catch though.

Expand full comment

Highlight of the game: the abandoned stadium seat I took over for the 4th.

Expand full comment

Honorable mention: not being stung by the bee that kept landing on me.

Expand full comment

First three losses were still close. This was a loss dominated by Cougs, and much worse than the score represents.

Expand full comment

First three games gave fresh hope to be crushed. This was just crushing.

Expand full comment

Craptastic

Expand full comment

So now I'm back to Fire Musgrave bandwagon

Expand full comment

Is Musgrave telling Garbers to checkdown on every 3rd down?

Expand full comment

Welcome back. We kept your seat warm.

Expand full comment

I canā€™t imagine looking at this tape - I would simply burn it and make them runs stairs and sprints all week

Expand full comment

Musgrave should run too.

Expand full comment

Need to don a N95 and a face shield before viewing.

Expand full comment

A sack on 4th down! Pathetic

Expand full comment

No, it was a back foot sidearm throw into the ground

Expand full comment

THAT summed it up

Expand full comment

I canā€™t even

Expand full comment

We go out with a whimper. A bad day.

Expand full comment

That last throw summed up this game

Expand full comment

Wilcox jawing at the ref about timeout. Should be jawing at his OC and OL

Expand full comment

Weā€™ll, College football season officially sucks just a few days into October. Cal is dead and the PAC 12 looks to have no one in the playoff. So much for the excitement of a normal season if this is Carlā€™s new normal

Expand full comment

And Stanford looks good.

Expand full comment

Ugh - I will completely block out College football on TV for my mental health

Expand full comment

I applaud the 800 Cal fans still at the stadium.

Expand full comment

I'm here for The Band. Is there something else going on? šŸ˜œ

Expand full comment

22 uniformed guys keep interrupting the performance!

Expand full comment

We don't deserve praise for being stupid.

Expand full comment

It's less a choice and more cocooning. At least that's the opinion of 1 of the 800

Expand full comment

Bad teams plays poorly and makes plenty of mistakes.

This just feels like the give up game. Wilcox is done.

Expand full comment

Why does Garbers keep throwing short passes short of stick

Expand full comment

He canā€™t or wonā€™t throw into tight intermediate windows against the two deep zone

Expand full comment

Iā€™m not watching the Oregon game. Theyā€™re going to be pissed after todayā€™s loss.

Expand full comment

Whoa how is chase still in. Reps?

Expand full comment

He gotta show something to improve his draft stock

Expand full comment

Oh there is literally nothing that will impress the NFL.

Expand full comment

sorely missing the sarcasm font

Expand full comment

sarcasm

Expand full comment

Can we bench Rohme and Daltoso

Expand full comment

disrespect to Rugbear

Expand full comment

our Tarcel offense cannot score TD in 3 minutes

Expand full comment

We havenā€™t scored in 3 quarters

Expand full comment

The first to 21 wins again

Expand full comment

Usually it's Wazzu blowing the PATs to stay under.

Expand full comment

wait, clock runs?

Expand full comment

Runs when they set the ball, like for a first down

Expand full comment

Hey he ran out of bonds for us

Expand full comment

He was buying crypto instead

Expand full comment

So the only upside is that the ESP telemarketing team probably gets Monday off..?

Expand full comment

So Instead of 3 and 13 weā€™ll give up 3rd and 18

Expand full comment

and what's worse is we are giving that anti-vaxxer rolovich some chance of keeping his job

Expand full comment

Backup qb should get a shot jeree

Expand full comment

I like gelato.

Expand full comment

Yeah me too. Thatā€™s a good strain. Especially when Iā€™m sad.

Expand full comment

I am legit going to go get gelato on my way back to my car. Need to be in a better mood before finding out my car's been towed or broken into or something.

Expand full comment

No idea what this means but it seems worthy of a rec

Expand full comment

There's always rec for gelato

Expand full comment

I feel bad for the defense they actually played lights out after the first 2 drives

Expand full comment

Feel better about camping/fishing options this month. No worries about missing live viewing.

Expand full comment

Just sing the Cal Drinking Song while you cast and you're covered.

Expand full comment

cal admin has existential question - invest in football or basketball coaches. otherwise just go d2

Expand full comment

Disagree, theyā€™ve been ditching that question for decades. There will always be assistants willing to get paid less for a power 5 school. Iā€™m the question is if the pac-12 will stay such with the changing landscape.

Expand full comment

Trying to get my head around the fact that the turning point of this game is when we blocked a punt.

Expand full comment

We Couged it.

Expand full comment

Me still sitting here getting sunburned is just masochism at this point.

Expand full comment

If we werenā€™t masochists we wouldnā€™t be Cal fans.

Expand full comment

My first game was 25 *years ago.

*Years autocorrected to tears and that just says it all.

Expand full comment

Way more tears than 25

Expand full comment

Worst loss of Wilcox era?

37-7 UCLA 2018 was worse especially since I was there

Expand full comment

In terms of losing to a bad team, but the football played by the team at the Cheez it bowl tops this easily.

Expand full comment

This is a debacle.

Expand full comment

Itā€™s holmoe-esque

Expand full comment

Worst season - definitely

Expand full comment

Thereā€™s some precedent for firing coaches before bye week, right?

Expand full comment

Yeah, I think this is one of those seasons where I'm gonna have to always make plans during Cal football games.

Expand full comment

I was just making my weekend plans based on Cal schedule for next two months, but I might just ignore it. I think I can have more fun that way.

Expand full comment

Fall weddings, finally useful.

Expand full comment

I enjoyed last week's game even though we lost. I feel depressed this game.

Expand full comment

Anyone have a link to the post game presser? I want to be beaten by Wilcox.

Expand full comment

Aaand that does it for me folks, heading home. Truly atrocious football.

Expand full comment

Just seems to reek of desperation

Expand full comment

I don't think that play was drawn up like that, probably because it was illegal.
