Always love your comments, particularly because you illustrate what you write about using game video. But was disappointed you didn't show any tape on what steer wrestling is. I may have to go on YouTube to find out what that is (is it when cowboy rides a steer, which I thought was called "steer riding," otherwise I have no clue?)
You briefly put down Tulsa, but they did beat six and six Memphis, lost by three or four to Oklahoma St. and by six to #4 or so Cincinnati. UC Davis beat them at Tulsa. The Davis coach thinks this is his best team.
Being Cal's offense guru and particularly our passing guru, I am surprised and disappointed you have had nothing to say about what you think of Plummer. Maybe you can quickly review Nick's nice summary video's of Plummer's best game while at Purdue, which left me relatively unimpressed. But maybe you're waiting till after you see him in the flesh. He's certain no Garbers when running the ball, not even close, but has a big arm. I thought his tape showed he occasionally forces the ball too much though defensive traffic, but I guess that is a trait many QB's, even the good to great ones, have. Shows the faith they have with their arm.
Chris, when are we getting a Steer Wrestling break-down?
In all seriousness, I think a thread that's kinda disappeared in the offseason is our lack of a dedicated special teams coach. Seeing how Davis has some average threats in the return game, it'll be interesting to see if they can pop anything off. Obviously, special teams is one of the most variable things in an already high-variable sport, but if Davis makes this game closer than it should be, I think it'll be because they were able to take advantage in that phase of the game.
Awesome stuff as always! I'm excited to be in attendance.
Ahhhh, finally feels like football season again.
Do you smell that? It's the smell of Cal football games coming to your living room!
Nice write-up. I have no idea what to expect from the Cal offense, so we shall see.
Brilliant comprehensive write up…even if Cal doesn’t always do so, WFC and in particular Chris here consistently exceed expectations.
Thanks. A lot of stuff packed into this.

Looking forward to a lot more columns from you.
