Why I continue to let myself watch blowouts against UCLA is becoming a real problem. 2018, 2020, and now 2021. Let this new pain end.

This is some absolutely inexcusable coaching. We rush for 300+ yards last week, admittedly against a very bad team, and yet this week we completely abandon the run game despite decent success. UCLA is fast offense and we need to slow them down. Maybe a possession-based offense that plays to our strengths and gives our D time to breathe would be good?

But no, let's make our plucky but mediocre QB carry the whole game when we already know he can't do it alone and our O-Line has the structural integrity of a ravioli.

That 2nd half was a real buzzkill despite it representing the bulk of my evening's wine consumption.

Chip Kelly is sure rooting for Cal to extend Wilcox.

USC is about to hire Lincoln Riley. This might be the best and last chance for us to beat USC for a long, long time.

Cal just got beat, simple as that. It happens in sport when one team completely dominates another. It's not a good feeling and the avalanche that ensues is suffocating. It wasn't a mystery what fucla was going to do on both sides of the ball so congrats to them for executing. I don't watch many fucla games but of the few I've watched this was by far the best performance I've ever seen from DTR. So congrats to him.

I watched the $C game, they are not down in dumps like some believe. They played an inspired and physical game against BYU and came up just short. The $C QB has a cannon for an arm and he is accurate, as well as being a fierce competitor. This will be another tough game for Cal's young D. The OL will need to play exceptionally well, cuz $C will bring the heat next week.

As I watched the third quarter it became apparent my Cal football "malaise" was morphing into surrendered indifference - turn it off - felt good, fandom struggle is over for now. The party's over so to speak, no rationale left, ease into a mildly interested observer of the SC game and start fresh next season with yet another attempt at an adjusted attitude.

I’ll admit I’m not super optimistic about next week, but is anyone else getting an error for the question asking us, from 1 to 100, how likely we are to beat usc next week, saying we have to put a number between 0 and 12?

I filled out the ratings form, not very excited to fill in the blanks in our tied-for-worst-performance-of-the-year with the WSU game. Actually this was worse

Woodshed time. Chip takes Justin for a whack.

Getting these kids up for the USC game is going to be a huge challenge for Wilcox. The only saving grace is SC has the same problem.

Wow UCLA outrushed us 3:1 and still managed to outpass us.

Over under on are we going to be back to seeing the "somebody should check on him to make sure he's OK" version of Wilcox post game presser mode now?
