UCLA and USC are doing old Pac 12 proud against big league opposition on the road. Cal will be next! Go Bears! A win will be a birthday present for Oski!
Hmmm... and for now USuCk is ahead... Kinda removes any incentive to try and enflame my schadenfreude but hopefully they'll still lose in dramatic fashion.
Just got home from a dental appointment and surfing through the games on TV. I almost couldn’t believe the score. I see a fair number of JMU shirts and hats around and may see more in the future.
Jim Madison has put 53 on North Carolina, and the first half isn't over yet. Most points ever by JMU in a first half. NC is on their 3rd QB already this season, but that's not a defensive issue. Wonder how Mack Brown will spin this?
I have a sinking feeling the ACC is going to be really mid this year. That may be good for us in the short term, as it could mean an easier path to a winning season. But I think we are also going to see a very low ranked conference champ, and almost certainly we won't be getting more than one team into the playoff.
Curious to see how Ben Finley fares today vs. the Gamecocks. He was on-point last week for Akron, with four touchdown throws and over 350 passing yards.
Before you know it, someone will even be pleased when Washington or USC beats a team from back east. I would list UCLA as well, but it doesn't look like that's something that will have to be worried about soon.
Well that's the end of Syracuse being ahead of us in the power rankings. McCord was supposed to be the second coming but he kept throwing the ball to Furd. Also the Coug Spartan game was good but SJSU Coug'd it or choked at the end. Should have won. Their WR Nash will be playing on Sundays.
For the first time in my life, I find myself rooting for 'furd. After surviving near death together and being newcomers to the ACC, I feel like we need to make a good showing to our new conference hosts.
Man, the Spartans were gamers in this one. Their defense faltered late and Brown made an ill advised throw that ushered the Cougs back into the game with minutes left to go. But wow, SJSU has offensive fire power. It will be interesting to see where they stack up in the Mt. West by season’s end. It’s sad they’re looking like another casualty of realignment, in spite of their recent football success.
Stanford wins on a game ending field goal. Good thing Cal's game tomorrow is a late game; Oski Disciple is going to need every minute of the extra time to recover.
Silly me. I thought this was a Cal site but I see that is rife with Furdies. No self-respecting Golden Bear fan would root for the Tree. This is hugely disappointing. F*ck Stanfurd and Go Bears forever.
But also, both these teams feel very winnable. I thought FState, Clem and Miami were top tier, then Syracuse, BC, NC State, then the rest. Not to be a sunshine pumper, but I’m feeling pretty good on this season, and we are not even full strength!! Get ott, our 2 wide outs and a healthy line …. Lfgoooooobears
Stanfurd looks good. Love that they’re whipping the orange, as there’s been absolutely no respect for Cal/Furd. Should be a good big game. Hope they shock the acc and win out … except for the golden bears, who will pound them and retain the axe. Feels weird to root for furd.
so TCU scored 21 in the 2nd Q and fell further behind... hmmm...
LOL Michigan
this auburn / arkansas game is a repeat of the cheez int bowl
Auburn is robbing us of the glory of our win.
But Freeze may just be proven right about Thorne.
UCLA and USC are doing old Pac 12 proud against big league opposition on the road. Cal will be next! Go Bears! A win will be a birthday present for Oski!
Utah and OK State suddenly playing give away
I just saw a UCLA ad. What the Hell does it mean, "Tuition Free"?
Dunno but UCLA admissions page says 45% of students pay no tuition thanks to schollies etc... FWIW
Maybe it was an enticement for athlete recruitment. Might even be a conference policy, as I noted on a SEC ad.
Trojans getting slammed by Michigan. That does not make me sad
*Schadenfreude intensifies
But can it really? I mean mine has been at peak for a while now... though maybe if it does intensify I'll know it wasn't actually peak...
Like the players, we Bears all need to stretch beyond our limits.
Hmmm... and for now USuCk is ahead... Kinda removes any incentive to try and enflame my schadenfreude but hopefully they'll still lose in dramatic fashion.
Ugggh.
NOw Big Blue is threatening.
Time for the Cal game.
Go Bears1
Clemson has an offense
UCLA is playing LSU tough in 1Q
North Carolina looks terrible.
Just got home from a dental appointment and surfing through the games on TV. I almost couldn’t believe the score. I see a fair number of JMU shirts and hats around and may see more in the future.
Only fitting they are getting a beat down by the Dukes....
NC State looks terrible.
Both UNC and NC State are terrible
Jim Madison has put 53 on North Carolina, and the first half isn't over yet. Most points ever by JMU in a first half. NC is on their 3rd QB already this season, but that's not a defensive issue. Wonder how Mack Brown will spin this?
Will North Carolina opt of the running clock or the shortened quarters in the second half?
Who is the soon to be unemployed DC at North Carolina?
I dunno but I bet his jersey number was 70 when he played. JMU putting up 70!?!? (including the above mentioned 53!!! ... yikes ...)
Thought:
How about on campus watch parties that can be streamed in a feed to the team for away games that so few students could hope to travel to?
This is a good idea.
Clemson
#Drop100
Did anyone see if Gameday guys picked the FSU/Cal game? 5/6 of them just picked Arkansas over Auburn. Can't pick anyone who lost to Cal, right?
Nick Saban loves us for obvious reasons.
I have a sinking feeling the ACC is going to be really mid this year. That may be good for us in the short term, as it could mean an easier path to a winning season. But I think we are also going to see a very low ranked conference champ, and almost certainly we won't be getting more than one team into the playoff.
Wilcox better get at least 8 wins this season and have a winning ACC record. If he slouches to 6-6 he needs to be fired immediately.
Curious to see how Ben Finley fares today vs. the Gamecocks. He was on-point last week for Akron, with four touchdown throws and over 350 passing yards.
That is interesting.
Maybe Spav was part of his problem.
People in this thread are trying to put Oski Disciple into therapy with all the rooting for Stanford last night.
I think Oski Discipline didn't read my comment that said I'm rooting for Syracuse.
Before you know it, someone will even be pleased when Washington or USC beats a team from back east. I would list UCLA as well, but it doesn't look like that's something that will have to be worried about soon.
Whoa, I wouldn’t go that far. I think most Cal fans will be very pleased with every USC and UCLA loss from now to forever.
I'm auto-liking everything he posts, no matter what
Same, out of solidarity.
No lie.
Simple.
Offset with burnt offerings to Dark Oski.
"We were only experimenting, Dark One."
Well that's the end of Syracuse being ahead of us in the power rankings. McCord was supposed to be the second coming but he kept throwing the ball to Furd. Also the Coug Spartan game was good but SJSU Coug'd it or choked at the end. Should have won. Their WR Nash will be playing on Sundays.
We need to win, today to stay ahead of Syracuse.
Cougs all but Coug it several times, but come behind to beat Spartans 54-52 in double ot. #PacLongAfterDark and in Pullman lives on.
The WSU SJSU game is proper Pac 12 After Dark.
For the first time in my life, I find myself rooting for 'furd. After surviving near death together and being newcomers to the ACC, I feel like we need to make a good showing to our new conference hosts.
It's transitive respect for us, particularly when we crush them 45-3 for the Axe
Yes, this as well. Want them to win and then want us to beat them to make our win look better. :)
We do, they don't. I hope they finish 2-10.
Random Furdie as I drove through the parking lot.
"F*** Cal."
My answer should have been:
"$C beat ya' to it."
Troy Taylor, one of my favorite Golden Bears as a player. So, happy for him anyway.
Yup. Sad to say I was halfheartedly rooting for Furd because neither Cal nor Stanford is getting any respect
Not half nor even a millionth of my heart would ever want Furd to win. What has happened to Bear Territory?
Near program ending event and relegation to the Mountain West will change a fan base.
Yeah, evidently for the worse.
I believe they helped save our program but advocating on our behalf to get us into the ACC.
SJSU trying to make the case that they belong in the new P12, up two TDs on wazzu
Man, the Spartans were gamers in this one. Their defense faltered late and Brown made an ill advised throw that ushered the Cougs back into the game with minutes left to go.

WSU & SJ St playing a great game. 24-24 in the 3rd qtr.
Stanford wins on a game ending field goal. Good thing Cal's game tomorrow is a late game; Oski Disciple is going to need every minute of the extra time to recover.
I can't believe I'm saying this... yay furd...?
I never red shirts. I never hug trees... what has happened to me...?
"Relax, Cam, it's Calfurd Town."
Thanks! That actually makes me feel better for some reason ... even though it reminds me how much I dislike The Two Jakes...
Glad to help.
Silly me. I thought this was a Cal site but I see that is rife with Furdies. No self-respecting Golden Bear fan would root for the Tree. This is hugely disappointing. F*ck Stanfurd and Go Bears forever.
Oski Disciple, you stand strong in these crazy realignment times. Go Bears!
Come on trees rep the almost pac leftovers
Shameful.
It is but I want the big game to be big.
It's a rivalry, it's always big.
And Furdies will turn on us if it's in their interest, so, there's that, too.
Go FUrd!
As in good to hell Furd.
Let’s go trees
Just no.
That was a beautiful slant
I'm starting to root for Syracuse
Anyone going to the Berkeley bars to watch the game tmw?
Didn't know Marvin Harrison played for Syracuse
Tree kicker is elite
I feel like they always have an elite kicker.
That's a nice third down conversion. We need that play.
McCord going for the Peyton Thorne Award.
McCord the wunderkind- Fail
What was the line on this game?
But also, both these teams feel very winnable. I thought FState, Clem and Miami were top tier, then Syracuse, BC, NC State, then the rest. Not to be a sunshine pumper, but I’m feeling pretty good on this season, and we are not even full strength!! Get ott, our 2 wide outs and a healthy line …. Lfgoooooobears
I thought Syracuse QB was supposed to be good. He keeps throwing interceptions
I even put money on FUrd, felt strange but let's go!
You must do penance for this heinous act.
damn, McCord!
Damn Trees, you looking good.
Impossible.
I’m sitting here clapping at the “Furd pick 6. What is wrong with me? What have I become?
Whatever it is you need to fix it.
Wow stanfurd looks like Alabama
Never mind. More like Wazzu
Okay so this is the ACC commercial
Is the ACC waking up that we are not the new cupcakes?
Wow. Note to self: Don't sleep on the Furd game.
Stanfurd looks good. Love that they’re whipping the orange, as there’s been absolutely no respect for Cal/Furd. Should be a good big game. Hope they shock the acc and win out … except for the golden bears, who will pound them and retain the axe. Feels weird to root for furd.
Furd doesn't deserve respect.
I am rooting for Furd as well....it's a strange feeling.
Strange feeling because it's wrong.
I was about to say they looked good too
oops
Feels weird rooting for ‘Furd but here I am.
Of course it feels wrong, it's one of the most anti-Cal things you can do.
Same ever sense the pac12 collapse my dream is Cal in Furd playing for the ACC championship. Then bears beating them 58-0
My dream is for Furd to go winless.
Refs are homers.
Just to be sure my juju is properly directed, I can root for ‘Cuse and be rooting for “our conference” right? No reason to root for Furd?
I'm rooting for Furd. They lump us together.
They better they get, they better we all look.
Jesus wept.
Ok, gotta admit I find myself rooting for former Pac12 teams (except UCLA….and USC)
I’m tepidly for Washington and Oregon. I root against Colorado because they drove the final knife in. The rest I can cheer for.
Go Bears! FSU beware.
Two colors battling it out tonight will be great.
Furd will be wearing red helmets for the first time ever.
It's a better look.
Hard to get used to. Makes them look like some other team. Which might be good in the overall scheme of things.
Like USC?
I am surprised they haven’t worn red helmets before.
