…noted football powerhouse and diploma mill Vanderbilt becomes bowl eligible by winning at Jordan Hare to drop Auburn to 3-6…me thinks that maybe week 2 wasn’t the W we’d hoped it would be.
Wait, so FSU is done when their ACC schedule and finish 1-7? With their only win against Cal and Wilcox? Fire Wilcox. I believe this is now the 3rd time in Wilcox’s illustrious career that he has given a conference opponent their only conference win.
The program is simply spinning its wheels in abject mediocrity so long as Justin Wilcox is in charge.
Meanwhile, noted football powerhouse and diploma mill Indiana is 9-0 after walloping a Jonathan Smith-led Michigan State team in East Lansing…shocker, coaching matters.
He’s a helluva coach….and is just an example of what can happen.
There are plenty of Wilcox apologists that justify his continued employment by saying quality coaches won’t come to Cal. Schools like Indiana and Vandy winning blows that argument.
Also, he takes all the attention off the players and puts it all on him. I think there's a functional efficiency where he stomps out the limelight bullshit that can distract players from their job.
In his Auburn POW presser, SJV talked about the onerous burden of traveling 2 hours to Atlanta for "decent" shopping. Coaches can often influence and set priorities.
In a clip, Saban basically implies that a player was content to be a "mediocre" person and that he, Saban, wanted only excellent people around him. Harsh, cold, and inspiring, like forged iron itself.
I know chances are he’s back no matter what because of Knowlton’s continued presence and the $20M cost to cut ties with both, but if that L leaves us at 5-7 and home for December, I dunno….the conversations are going to be very interesting…
into other fan base minds, I don’t find this season of win after win on a victorious march to the playoffs, particularly “exciting”. I am too conditioned for endless seasons of struggle and futility as a badge of true honor and perseverance.
Loved seeing SC lose to a mediocre UW. F&ckers.
Pro, since no other place to post today.
Second quarter Detroit in a rainy Green Bay.
Jared Goff seems to have learned to handle the ball in rain.
Can here to say exactly this. Represent.
End of 3rd, 15 of 17 in the rain.
On the other side, Chris Brooks had 2 carries and 3 receptions.
Furd getting clobbered by NC State was the highlight of my weekend. This is the year to run up the score on the Tree!
So is there an insta-reaction to our struggle with Bye-U?
My Gameday Experience was better than average!
How many injuries did we suffer?
Probably at-risk of complacency.
Wilcox record against BYE is not good.
The Strength and Conditioning program under Wilcox has largely been a disaster. Yes, football is a violent sport. Yes, Cal is always hurt.
Both can be true.
Coaching matters, part II….

TOSU is on the horizon for Cigniana. We shall see.

I wish we could hire Saban as a consultant.
November 1, 2025 Zoom “consultant” call:
So, Justin, ahem, let’s talk about the last four games and what we talked about prior to each one.
*breaks headphones
Yeah, Saban is a gentleman when he needs to be, but a demanding task master to get those wins.
smu looks scary
Agree
A fg in Provo loss to an unbeaten team away from unbeaten. The new Pony Express is running circles around a good Pitt team.
was just going to say the game in Dallas might be ugly
Yup, Wilcox could get boat raced there.
If so, leave him in Dallas.

When Oregon played in the PAC they had close games and some loses. Look at them now: without Bo Nix. I guess the PAC wasn’t so soft after all…..lol
Don't look now, but Go Bruins!?
Go Bruins never
I was shocked that they beat Rutgers and Nebraska.
Every week that FSU loses, it’s another loss for Wilcox and Cal.
If Wilcox gifts FSU’s only win of the season…Idk if my psyche can handle that haha. Charleston Southern please do something funny haha.
Bad. Loss.
Go Big Blue
Can’t get behind the Ducks
Agree. As I usually project my own views
into other fan base minds, I don’t find this season of win after win on a victorious march to the playoffs, particularly “exciting”. I am too conditioned for endless seasons of struggle and futility as a badge of true honor and perseverance.
I can. Go Ducks!
Tez Johnson injury could be the biggest development of the day and month.
All American WR & PR out indefinitely with a shoulder or collarbone injury.
CW sports>>>>Pac12 network
Crucial game for Syracuse to get bowl eligible.
And they win. I am not optimistic about this game.
P4 teams that can score are a concern for this coaching staff.
Pedo State offense scored 6 points and was 0-2 in the red zone.
horrid Penn State red zone performance today
More like business as usual for Penn States offense when playing OSU or any good team.
Miami is coming back on Duke line they came back on Cal.
