I don't like saying nice things about USC, but good on them for allowing Cal to reschedule the game to this weekend rather than taking the forfeit win a few weeks ago.
This was a weird game aside from it being rescheduled (good on $C for doing so).
I honestly don't think we played well at all. Nevertheless I am not passing up the opportunity to beat the spoiled brats from down south. The offense was brutal, the defense was good in the turnover category (to be clear the guys played hard and I loved it) but we were giving up yards left and right and frankly were fortunate USC is USC. Special teams was solid and is rounding into form, shame we don't get a bowl game.
Lastly, it was great doing another football season with y'all. See you September 3rd against UCD. On to basketball season. If anyone is going to the game on 11th against Santa Clara and the 19th against Dartmouth, holler at me!
Watched from Taiwan. I know this game "didn't mean anything," but I'm not gonna lie that it still gave me happiness vibes. Wish we could've flipped the result of Arizona, Nevada, TCU, or any of our other 1 score losses.
Japan checking in. Not gonna lie, I turned it off in the first quarter, and only came back at half time...but that still gave me some good vibes for the rest of the day
Good win and way to end the season. I am happy for the seniors. The seniors have now beat Stanford and SC twice during their time at Cal. It was great to end the Memorial losing streak to Sc and to win a game in the Roth uniforms.
My wishlist for 22:
1. New OL coach
2. New Special Teams coach
3. Garbers and all the seniors with eligibility come back
See, it was a good thing we played this week. We end the season on a good note. I'm sure next week we'll be talking about what could have been, but at least this weekend is a good feeling.
Why wait til next week...you can’t lose at home to Nevada...and you can’t let a running back go for 50 up the f-ing gut with :45 seconds left in the half...tackle him.
But you’re right - better to win & have some momentum going into the off-season. Good win.
If before the season started, Marty McFly told me that we would beat Stanford and SC before taking off in his Delorean to go back to the future I would have expected us to win the Pac 12 north.

Was it confirmed that they had a choice? UW had COVID on their BB team. The game with SC was cancelled and SC picked up a conference win.

Also hope Jaxson Dart is all good, he got f'ing rocked.
That play should have put to rest the notion that the game "didn't mean anything".
Out on his feet.

4. Hit the transfer portal hard
5. 9 regular season wins
6. Full stadium
7. Win the California Triple Crown
This is totally doable, and I’m hoping Chase is back.
Also, shitposting with Oklahoma fans on the /r/cfb game thread was a lot of fun. We share a mutual hatred of both SC and Texas!

Because I'm not going to let it ruin my weekend.
Nor should it. Cal should NEVER ruin your weekend....this was a good building block for momentum.
I rate the game a significant improvement over covid forfeit.

or at least a bowl game
Wazzu is expected to take our Sun Bowl bid...dagger.
