Other than offense and defense, we're doing well.


Great showing by special teams!

The good news is that I can go to sleep before kickoff next week knowing the game means nothing.

Garbers is terrible - defense on the field the whole game. Really hoping we have someone else to watch next year

Blow out loss to fucla followed by a pounding by SC…
If we lose to a crappy sc, Wilcox deserves to be fired.


Means a 4-8 season which...sucks.

Garbers tendency to make short completions when we need medium completions is maddening.

You can't throw to your safety valve EVERY TIME.

C'mon. The pass protection is so poor that Garbers' only alternatives, on that play and many others tonight, are (a) take the short completion, or (b) take a sack.

You want more alternatives, get a better o-line.
And whose fault is that?
It's recruiting.

I've said it many times on this board, complaining about coaching strategy misses the far larger point that we don't even have the top-to-bottom talent level of UCLA, let alone the level of top 25 teams.


My question was rhetorical. Our recruiting has been a problem. Now we cannot even hold on to our recruits. If Wilcox can't get it together or if we don't make a change, we will continue to regress.
Fire Knowlton!
Fire Wilcox!

Its really pretty simple.

We suck.

There is lightining in a bottle from time to time but the general season long storyline has remained the same for over a decade.

Too much speed at the skill positions for UCLA. And they know it.

USC is competing with BYU right now.

And you know they will have more talent on the field than we do.

If we beat USC it will be a big upset by Cal.

But you have to have a semi-interesting offense and make good use of the talent you do have or the top players don't want to play for you.

And yet we still have people who sing Wilcox's praises. He needs to be gone.

Actually yes. Fumble recovery by Goode.
And two good returns by Remigio.
Fire Knowlton!

We should pull the scholarships of all of our offensive linemen. They totally suck!

Even when special teams hands us a layup, we have our offense snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

Yes. The fan base can't block, or catch, or run.

When is the last time cal has actually won a game when we really needed a win. Last time I can think of is maybe that win at SC awhile back. We are awful when there are any stakes whatsoever
LMFAO. There are only stakes here for morons who think getting 6 wins and a potential slot in a shytty bowl is an achievement.

The big problem with winning the Oregon State game is that it allowed all of the sunshine pumpers in our fanbase to imagine that the wins against Colorado and Stanford meant this team was making progress and you all managed to memory hole the Arizona game that revealed all of the flaws in our program by blaming it on COVID instead of wondering why a 5th year coach doesn't have a 2nd string QB worth a damn that could put points on an AWFUL Arizona team. It is no shock that when we travel to LA (where Cal nearly always shyts the bed) and had to play a team with a pulse that we couldn't just run at will against that the problems with the offensive line and with Garbers would reveal themselves again.

As is always the case, the #1 problem with the Cal football program is the loser fanbase that sets the bar for success so incredibly low. Fix the problems with yourselves first and start demanding more from your chancellor and your athletic director.

On both sides of the ball, they have huge edges in speed, skill, and instinct.

Recruiting, recruiting, recruiting.

From their perspective, the issue is: Why did they lose four games this season?
