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

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

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

Its time for a QB change, folks

Expand full comment

If they donā€™t do something it will be time for a fan change!

Expand full comment

Canā€™t change where we went. ā€˜Tis our lot

Expand full comment

I will re-enroll at a different College!

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.

Sorry all had to republish, there was an error saying only paying subscribers could chat

Glad that's been fixed, thanks

thanks

Expand full comment

Great social distancing by our fans

Expand full comment

Holmoe-esque

Expand full comment

Turns out Cal fans were ahead of their time back then.

Expand full comment

I applaud the 800 Cal fans still at the stadium.

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

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

I have been a big fan of Wilcox. I might be ready to throw in the towel. I still donā€™t trust our AD to actually hire anyone serious, though.

Expand full comment

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

Expand full comment

Tedford 2.0?

Expand full comment

You think Sumlin is Tedford 2.0?

Expand full comment

or John Embree

Expand full comment

Troy Taylor or Mike MacIntyre

Expand full comment

Itā€™s be Taylor unless he pissed off one of the backers 30 years ago

Expand full comment

Admin will never go for Mac with his history

Expand full comment

Bastards!

Expand full comment

Admin isnā€™t serious about football

Expand full comment

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

Expand full comment

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

Expand full comment

Hearns has heart. Will be a good cb.

Expand full comment

can he be the head coach

Expand full comment

Heart isnā€™t enough. He needs to get bigger and stronger or the good WRs in the conference will absolutely bully him.

Expand full comment

Only a true freshman. Look at D Scott when he came inā€¦he is a stud now.

Expand full comment

Not saying Hearns canā€™t be great, but his size will be a major disadvantage.

Expand full comment

D Scott came in 6ā€™2ā€ and ~200 lbs.

Expand full comment

Conte was super skinny when he was playing as true freshman

Expand full comment

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

Expand full comment

So now I'm back to Fire Musgrave bandwagon

Expand full comment

Welcome back. We kept your seat warm.

Expand full comment

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

Expand full comment

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

Expand full comment

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

Expand full comment

Wilcox has already peaked and is in decline and Musgrave just doesnā€™t have it. I think we need to cut the cord and get someone like a Troy Taylor. We canā€™t get a big name Coach but need a solid one with Cal connections.

Expand full comment

Who's Troy Taylor?

Expand full comment

Cal QB in 87-89 and current head coach of Sac State.

Expand full comment

Iā€™m so depressed, everything seems serious.

Expand full comment

Wtf with cal connections? We need recruiting

Expand full comment

Weā€™re making wsu look like it has elite athletes at every position

Expand full comment

Thatā€™s Calā€™s superpower. Always has been.

Expand full comment

We always play down to the competition. Sometimes up too but not always.

Expand full comment

Shane Vereen said it best- ā€œThat was justā€¦ not good.ā€

Expand full comment

he finally admits it

Expand full comment

This is pathetic

Expand full comment

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

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

I love Garbers heart, I do but this ainā€™t it.

Expand full comment

He must not have had a good nights sleep.

Expand full comment

We host an annual Big Game party at my club for the Black alumni of both schools, and yeah, this ain't gonna be fun this year.

Expand full comment

The problem is the O Line in my opinion.

Expand full comment

Not sure if it is our O line or the Cooug secondary

Expand full comment

Wazzu has just outplayed us in every facet.

Expand full comment

Definitely

Expand full comment

Stanford wins. This is a bad day.

Expand full comment

:(. Cal is bad.

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

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

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

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

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

Expand full comment

Defense has done their job

Expand full comment

Fourth law of thermodynamics- offense and defense cannot be simultaneously good

Expand full comment

I have a plan: find what works and then STOP doing it?

Expand full comment

Peace out, friends

Expand full comment

$&@#%!!!!

Expand full comment

Stole the word right out of my mouth.

Expand full comment

If wasszu has a good QB we would be down 4 touchdowns

Expand full comment

I hate to say it, but I think they should make a qb change.

Expand full comment

But to who?

Expand full comment

Milner. Might as well get a sneak peak at next year.

Expand full comment

Does it matter? Weā€™ll have a full quarter of garbage time.

Expand full comment

Was that non PI as bad on tv as it was live?

Expand full comment

Yeah, that was a pretty incredible ending.

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

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

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

Expand full comment

Worst loss of Wilcox era?

Expand full comment

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

Expand full comment

Worst season - definitely

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

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

And we throw in the towel with a 3rd and 21 draw

Expand full comment

Wow. I goofed

Expand full comment

Do it again.

Expand full comment

And that play should be the nail in the coffin - for this game and for Wilcox

Expand full comment

A flea flicker! Loss of 9 yards on the play. Outstanding.

Expand full comment

11 actually. Lol

Expand full comment

My bad.

Expand full comment

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

Expand full comment

Consistently missing deep passes would be somewhat forgivable if Garbers didnā€™t throw so many 10 yard passes into the ground

Expand full comment

Feels like the exhaustion and listlessness felt in the last few weeks of the Tedford era. Like pushing on a string.
