The UCLA / Villanova game last night was really great. Both teams executed like they were in late-season form. I hate, hate, hate that I enjoy the way this UCLA plays. The parts all fit together well and they have a system that allows Vasquez and Juzang to flourish.
I'm going to spend this week doing my annual 'Cal Football Marketing Is Terrible' rant. In fact, I think I can expand that to the marketing of Cal basketball too. Records be damned, they're just not good at it.
Didn't realize he grew up in Redlands. Guess he hadn't quite made his name yet when I lived there. (Don't be tempted by Cuca's for Mexican food based on the article. Huicho's is where it's at.)
Non-Cal thread: Why even watch football on your surprise bye week?
It’s always a good day when Texas loses, it’s even better when they lose to Kansas.
Horns down
Washington looking like they are doing their best to get out of that Jimmy Lake buyout: https://www.seattletimes.com/sports/uw-husky-football/suspended-uw-football-coach-jimmy-lake-faces-allegations-he-shoved-player-in-2019/
Furd down 3 TDs and 18 minutes away from officially being bowl ineligible
Oregon State wallops Stanfurd 35-14. This portends a victory for our sturdy Golden Bears next Saturday!

We needed to hire Aranda. Keeps his eyes on the prize at all times. Sigh.

Baylor unis are ugly. Thought you might wanna know.
SDSU beat Nevada just as I thought they would.
Grant Garbers (CG's dad) claims Chase and starters will be back for Big Game.
Just arrived in Lexington KY. All the bars playing Kentucky game. Surprised to find out they are second in division behind Georgia.
Tennessee reminds me of Dykes at Cal. Exciting offense. Gonna come up short against good teams.
oh boy zona, TD on the block!!
Arizona jumped out to the lead against Utah. Currently 14-14 with 14:00 left in the 2nd quarter.
Dan Mullen is going to get fired with this win today.
Now I’m even more sad that Dykes couldn’t hire Aranda.
Makai Polk continues to have a very good season. I wish he had stayed at Cal.
So Mike Leach isn’t working out well down at Mississippi State.
Rattler will likely transfer no? He's been beaten out by a freshman. Perhaps he goes to AZ or Cal? hahahaha
The Baylor Surge is hilarious, lots of peeps got trampled (they were OK, don't worry).
Dave Aranda, what could have been?!?!
I watched the 10 Rings last night and really enjoyed it.
As for today. I’m looking forward to that Oklahoma/Baylor game.
Gonna watch a few but sans any particular time to be home & tune in to Cal with all the attendant stress disguised as fun involved.
Pitt v UNC was a good game showcasing 2 QBs projected to be high picks in the draft. QB from Pitt was decent.
