True. But more plays takes a toll on the players. That is my larger concern. Cal plays with less depth generally than their peers. Especially USC, UO, UW and UCLA. But sure the yards per play and points per possession are good metrics. Maybe the best metrics.sycasey said:
More plays will mean more yards and more points on average. But you can normalize by looking at metrics like yards per play, points per possession, etc.
Yeah, I guess the assumed positive tradeoff is that your offense is better at playing fast and puts up enough points to swamp the opposition anyway.6956bear said:True.

But 10 additional plays a game means nearly 2 additional games when you played games previously that were approximately 60 plays defended. Through 5 conference games the Cal defense has been on the field for 33:37 on average. Last in the conference. That is a lot of additional plays against strong offensive teams. Not ideal.
Not a surprise that the defense had trouble getting off the field in the 4th quarter of the recent losses.

if any of the beavers offensive linemen enter the portal, cal's monster offensive line will be checking gpas & potential mutual interestKenBurnski said:
Will be interesting to see what that Oregon State or WSU team looks like from a personnel perspective once this season concludes and the portal opens.
South Africa bound for the @AfricasMajor. Long trip upcoming but excited to play some #golf outside of the US and experience some new things. I know they’ve got lots of lions over there. Here’s to hoping they haven’t scared away the birdies

shocky's rankings of the world top 100 golf course rankings: the truth behind the liesShocky1 said:
https://instagr.am/p/CuxKIOEIazx
2023 golf magazine world top 100 list:
as someone who has played all the world top 100 lists since 1997, very interested in receiving today an advance release of the 2023 rankings (ranked every 2 years) which will be publicly released in a couple of weeks
https://top100golf.blogspot.com/2006/01/people-who-have-played-top-100-golf.html
fun fact: my former caddie home course san francisco golf club is #38, the cal club is #45 while the olympic lake (#96 in the 2021 rankings) drops out of the world top 100, the just completed gil hanse renovation will hopefully add some fun & more strategic options to the design along with eliminating the weird walk to the 8th tee box from the 7th green...also looking forward to playing coore & crenshaw's brambles when it formally opens in 2024, yeah it's just up the hill from the future t-rex yoga studio in yountville
there are 8 new additions to the 2023 rankings:
#68 the lido (not played)...tom doak's replica based upon historical documents in wisconsin of the charles blair mcdonald no longer in existence masterpiece on long island...slim wadie & shocky will be visiting the sand valley resort next june
#76 point hardy (not played)...coore & crensahw design on the clifftops in st lucia
#85 te arai south (not played)...coore & crenshaw design in the sand dunes north of auckland...slim wadie (who has never been to nz) & shocky gotta a february g2c2 (global golf centurion club) new zealand trip which will also include tara iti (ranked#20), tom doak's te arai (north) course & another trip to my favorite resort in the world cape kidnappers
#88 lofoten links (played)...in northern norway (home of the spectacular northern lights in the winter) shocky played a round in the morning, went with my kids to the beach all afternoon, took an evening sofa king nap & then played a round teeing off at the stroke of midnight
#95 shanqin bay (played)...this coore & crenshaw gem on the cliffs of hainan island in china is my favorite course in asia, there's nothing even remotely close in terms of greatness
#96 victoria (played)...very cool mackenzie design in melbourne's sand belt region, this clever australian course with spectacular bunkering starts with a downhill drivable par 4 with a million potential strategies
#97 machrihanish (played)...on a remote scottish isle sits arguably the greatest starting 1st hole in golf
#100 royal cinque ports (played)...the low key kinda scruffy english club got wild azz greens with tumultuous undulations
so right now schulzie is a 97 with 3 to go to complete the latest quest
what's your life adventure (and whose gonna accompany you on your journey)?#
the university of california, berkeley=#1 ranked public university in the world (and there's a lotta world to see)
I think WSU could have a lot of players enter. They have a WR that if he enters I want to Cal to go hard after. Kyle Williams is a very good player. Played with Nohl Williams at UNLV. 2 time all academic player in MWC. Not sure of his graduation status but if the WSU HC leaves as many believe he will get a free waiver.Shocky1 said:if any of the beavers offensive linemen enter the portal, cal's monster offensive line will be checking gpas & potential mutual interestKenBurnski said:

look, shoski is 100% done with the pac 12 & its dumb azz channel with knowlton endorsed riveting quidditch matches between them california golden bears vs the transylvania bisexual brooms but shocky would definitely pay $12.95 per month for the nando channel just to hear this guy talk, ok?
mendoza does a shout out to the equipment staff by name, explains a touchdown pancake block by barrett miller & then goes on to explain the weather meteorology aspects of miami's monsoon season & how this means he's gonna be very comfortable playing in rainy azz eugene (the monster is not gonna be there, totally done with truck stop towns) this saturday
really?
is this guy for real?
listen & decide for urself
not tryna brag or nothing tho but shocky's 3.92 gpa in the haas biz skool technically makes me smarter than nando or something...yeah at 6'5" he's taller than the monster & better at football so mi amigo from biscayne bay got that going for him
this **** is getting live#
They should not do that. But if they do that game has to be in Berkeley. They are no longer conference opponents so the rotating schedules no longer apply. Additionally they will also have G5 status.sycasey said:

And both OSU and WSU have filed suit against Cal and the other 9. No need to play nice and be friends. Any games with those two should be played at Memorial.

We once again will have no transparency into what Carol and Knowlton are thinking or doing. Rest assured they are sitting on the sidelines. We are collecting welfare payments from Stanford.
