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

The one constant the coaching staff has had is defending the air raid (aside from USC 2019) and if that's gone....that could be the sign.

We don't deserve praise for being stupid.

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

I have been a big fan of Wilcox. I might be ready to throw in the towel. I still don’t trust our AD to actually hire anyone serious, though.

Prepare to be disappointed. Watch it be someone like Kevin Sumlin.

They transferred $200 million in stadium debt from the AD to the university. They know how important football is to the AD.

I have this feeling that we are about 10 years from the university giving us some bizarre reason why football is immoral.

Hearns has heart. Will be a good cb.

C98's avatar

can he be the head coach

Expand full comment
Bongo Bear's avatar

Heart isn’t enough. He needs to get bigger and stronger or the good WRs in the conference will absolutely bully him.

Expand full comment
C Bass's avatar

Only a true freshman. Look at D Scott when he came in…he is a stud now.

Not saying Hearns can’t be great, but his size will be a major disadvantage.

D Scott came in 6’2” and ~200 lbs.

He is 6/2 205 now. He was very thin when he came in. And he was not thrown into the line of fire his freshmen year

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

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

What makes me the most sad about this is that I really WANT Wilcox to succeed.

Expand full comment
ShanghaiDave93's avatar

Wilcox has already peaked and is in decline and Musgrave just doesn’t have it. I think we need to cut the cord and get someone like a Troy Taylor. We can’t get a big name Coach but need a solid one with Cal connections.

Who's Troy Taylor?

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

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

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
OldSoCalBear's avatar

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
Calbears93's avatar

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

Calbears93's avatar

Exactly. I don’t understand it. Been years without that. Every mediocre program can execute that.

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

We’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 Carl’s new normal

There was a quick shot of Wilcox before the 4th down play. He looked defeated, like he knew there was no way they’d convert.

Consistently missing deep passes would be somewhat forgivable if Garbers didn’t throw so many 10 yard passes into the ground
