Love being a 'dog'. Makes it that much sweeter when you prove the fuckers wrong. ;-)

Given Musgrave's resume, the expectation should be that his offense scores 28 - 38 points per game. I feel that that is a reasonable expectation. Simple.

Despite their crummy record over the past several years, I think that Chip Kelly and his UCLA team deserve to be ranked ahead of Cal at the moment. I watched most of UCLA's games last year - including the way they shredded Cal - and admired how they started to move the ball in big chunks. Every one of their losses was high scoring and close.

Cal has not shown that ability under Wilcox, and defense can only take you so far. Put me down as worried about this year's UCLA game.

Leland, Piotr, do you have an opinion on where Stovall and Robertson would rank in the list of Cal's current roster of WRs? In your eyes, are they as good/better? Understand that's hard with them playing so little recently but thought to ask your expert opinion.

I wonder what SID voted Cal at 25th? And for that matter, which SID cast the sole 25th place vote for Stanford? (Maybe next door neighbor San Jose St.?)

6 of the 12 Pac-12 schools have a vote, Colorado, Arizona, Utah, USC, Washington, & WSU this year.

When we cruise to a 12+ point victory over Nevada that isn't even in doubt for most of the 4th quarter, we'll probably ranked #3 or #4 in the country going into Week 2. Then it'll really be gut-check time, and we'll see how this team responds to those heightened expectations.
