Last week I was really worried about Nevada, watched the preview, and felt much more confident. This week I watched the preview and felt much worse. Please let the gods of contrarianism continue to reign.

Their QB kinda looks better than ours.

What a frightening, outstanding and well documented post. Wow. Love this stuff. Now I'm fully convinced we stand no chance whatsoever. How has that happened? We scored 17 against UNR. We will score 17 against TCU. Avinash posting that stat about in the Wilcox area the first team to get to 22 wins like 789-1. TCU will get to 22 first. I'm less polyanna than I used to be about Cal football. I really don't believe they will flip any swithces. I watched the coach and players videos last night like I always do, and neither Musgrave nor Sirmon had any real statements that indicated anything would be done differently. Just normal coach speak. I generally don't root for private schools, especially religious ones, but I agree TCU is Cal like in terms of football. I give us about a 10% chance or less of a W. Thanks, and bummer.

Agreed with everyone's shock! Next time we should do these previews BEFORE the season predictions......maybe we'll get them more right.

Hard to judge what speed the video was run at. If actual - then uh-oh

Our vaunted linebackers could make a difference in containing Duggan if they really show up for this game.
