Thanks as always Christopher.

Unrelated: Saturday was a great day when we could celebrate a Cal win, and losses by furd, USC, and UCLA. I was curious, and went back through 1925 (first UCLA records available), looking for how many times this happened in four separate conference games on the same day. The answer? Never. Last week, November 11, 2023, was the first time it ever happened.

If that TE gets open up the sideline (a la versus Hawai'i), I'll lose my marbles!

I think OSU’s Velling, too, will probably be open. 😂

From watching the above GIFs of Daniels, are all his positive plays against man coverage? Looks like it to my eyes.

I think this is just my highlight selection bias, as I probably wouldn't take a highlight clip of Daniels if he was hitting a wide open receiver in zone coverage for 20 yards.

I wouldn't trade Wilcox for Taylor.

I would rather not have a HC at all then to keep Wilcox

thanks, wasn't aware of that. It'll be interesting to see if he can hold it together.

You weren't derided for mentioning or supporting Taylor.

You were derided for incessantly mentioning Taylor.

Reading the same thing over and over is annoying, even when the thing makes sense.

BTW 247 has Stanford at #44 now. (Still better than Cal at 79, though our rating is impacted by having fewer overall recruits.)
