Same reaction here. It should read "Cal wins..." It really was more Cal's strong play rather than the 'Ruins poor play that resulted in the decisive win.

LOL. I didn't see this before I posted the same thing.

It's like the favorite blew the game or something.

LOL! I'm not kidding you, when we blew out Arizona, the headline on www.calbears.com was "CAL outlasts Arizona." When it was pointed out, Sandy had that changed almost immediately. Who comes up with that stuff?

I wrote those words - and you're right, it's a poor choice.

I'll fix it now.

You're forgiven, not that you even have to be... seriously, you're not a marketing / PR professional. Some of the stuff tho that gets on calbears.com is just ranker amateur. Looks like Sandy, to her usual credit is fixing it.
