And also I don't like how only paying subscribers can comment in the second half thread every week. I don't know if it's a glitch or on purpose, but it happens every week. We should just keep the first half thread for all game since we know it's a known issue every week.

No moral victories in year 5 when you’re 1-5.

Red zone play calling on that last drive from the 3 was brutal.

There are no words. To be honest, having 5 or 6 shots for a touchdown inside the ten and not executing is unbelievable. Maybe we should have run the ball three times in a row when it was first and goal from the three. Remigio whiffed on a fairly routine catch as well. Pretty sure we are the best 1-5 team in the nation but given that we could mostly hang with Oregon (except maybe KT) all of these losses when considered cumulatively are unacceptable. Not sure if this moral victory gives Wilcox another year or not. I suppose if we win two or more games (and the Big game) that his seat will not be red hot til after next season.

After Cal went ahead 17-10, Cal just played 'matador' defense. Unbelievably bad. Choked?

so many penalties by the OL and most at crucial points that just killed drives

Was I the only one who couldn't post in the second half thread?

We have to be the most snakebit team in the history of college football. Even the announcers on ESPN radio couldn't believe how many close losses we have had this season. Close losses seem to be our specialty (whether under Dykes or Wilcox) and all I can say is that this REALLY SUCKS!!!! I played poker tonight with a bunch of Cal alums and none of us could stand to turn on the game because we knew what was going to happen; Another heartbreaking, last-second, close loss. Sure enough, when the poker game was over and we turned on the tube, that is exactly what had happened. This has just been one of the more unlucky years for Cal Football. Oregon is loaded at every position and we almost beat them so I guess that is a bit of a silver lining to take away from tonight. The rest of the season can still be salvaged if we can just get over the hump and win close games. Better yet, just win games and stop making them close games. Our defense once again collapsed in the fourth quarter.

should Cal lose 2 more and I hope they don't, this staff had better play the future for however many games are left on the schedule. We have to move on from this era of really terrible offense.

Damn, that last failed drive was painful football to watch.

This team isn’t mentally tough. Wilcox has got to go.

Well, the game was a lot closer than I had expected. But we were in the redzone forever in the last drive. Would have liked to score a TD there.
