Maybe the worst I have seen the offense play in decades. Slow off the ball, no intermediate pass game, bad blocking, poor play calling…Garbers is just not a good passer. You can’t have the ground balls he throws and consider him even decent.

We were able to keep it close until we blocked that punt.

We are very bad. I'm ready to suit up and call plays one week, call defensive plays the next week, and then the week after take care of special teams because there is always something wrong with this team.

Time for a regime change after this season, although I have zero faith in this admin making the right hire

What is crazy is we lost a home in which we won the turn over battle and blocked a punt!

I’m not advocating firing Wilcox tomorrow but unless he wins out, he needs to be fired at the end of the season.

Wilcox and the coaching staff got to go. Cal sucks in the sports that matter: Football and Basketball. Cal needs to decide ASAP if they're going to get serious about CFB, MCBB and WCBB and hire coaches (and pay them accordingly) that will make a difference. World-class academics, terrible athletics.

That was a painful viewing experience. Hardly any pressure on their QB which means we made him look like an All-American. As I was watching their defense, they definitely reminded me of us 2-3 years ago when the 'Root was working his magic with a bunch of underachievers and the defense was constantly harassing the opposing QB and we could tackle in space and create turnovers. The only silver lining in today's embarrassing mess was that if Wazzu can create a defense like that in the middle of God-forsaken nowhere, then there is no reason that we can't find coaches who can do the same thing in Berkeley. Finally, I would like to propose an exorcism at Memorial as soon as possible to rid our program of all the bad ju-ju that has been following us around since last year. That may actually prove to be impossible since we haven't had any real good ju-ju since 1959. Football Gods, pray for us.

Makai Polk is tearing up Texas A&M. I don’t blame him for transferring.

The Cal team was uninspired, showed no evidence of improvement or preparation, and was no match for a weak Wazzou team. Was the unvaccinated Cougars coach even in the stadium? I know the player kicked off the team snd suing the university was not there. I love my Bears and have been attending games for decades but this team just was embarrassing today.

I actually left during the 2nd quarter. Too hot and I could tell the game was going to be a disaster at that point. Wilcox can say "It's on me" all he wants but the fact is the season is in freefall mode and year 5 is a painful indictment of his coaching skills. I hope the administration does the right thing with regard to a new hire unless Wilcox wins 4 more games, then the jury will be out til next season.

I generally make requests to not have call on Saturdays during football season so that I can attend Cal games. I may need to reconsider this strategy.

I was in such a bad mood I got into a fight with my girlfriend.
