Cal football is doing everything they can to guarantee they don't get another national TV broadcast.
Only one more to be determined, and it will probably be national thanks to SMU being highly ranked.

I tried to have modest expectations for this year and Wilcox managed to undershoot those. Amazing that he got a better roster and easier schedule and did . . . this.
10 wins is a slam dunk this season with an adequate coaching staff and are instead really looking at 5-7, ****ing atrocioussycasey said:Strykur said:We can throw out the PAC-12 excuses after todayGoCal80 said:

Huddling with 3 minutes left, clock running, and down by 16? Do they know how football works?
There are thousands of high school football coaches that know this better than the guy Cal pays $5 million a year.

Is Sandy the last competent AD Cal has had?
I know she was the last AD to be hired away, which is saying something.
Well, I checked out at halftime to go to the store. Checked the score about 20 minutes ago. It looked close. Was it?
Loss is disapointing. I turned it off, in part, because of that field goal try at the end of the half. Was just shakin my head. Anyways. Haven't seen the high/lowlights. Was it as close as the score or?

My preseason expectation was 7.5 wins, if Cal loses, this season will officially be a disappointment, as I don't see Cal winning @SMU.
At this rate we might not make a bowl game
This team doesn't deserve a bowl game. They played like trash today.
No. Cal scored a garbage time TD + 2 pointer at the end.philly1121 said:

Checks will be there. No problem.
> best way to support him, get him a real coach next year.
naww, a NEW AD first is more important for the rest of the heavy lifting

muting more than 300 handles, turnaround is fair play

So the game is blacked out in the Bay Area on the CW, right?

We don't have those excuses, but the folks who were using the early afternoon start time as an excuse today can use the same excuse next week -- so at least we've got that going for us.Strykur said:We can throw out the PAC-12 excuses after todayGoCal80 said:

It wasn't just the coaching. We looked like the jet lagged team

Playing at home, playing for a bowl game, still no energy. Seems like the team has more or less tuned out. Can't blame them too much; it's been a very trying season emotionally.
I've been just going through the motions since the Pitt loss. I'll get up for the big game, but am finding it really hard to care about the SMU game.

Still, if Sirmon could get the defense off the field consistently on 3rd (and 4th) downs, 25 pts should be enough in most cases. Plus, also in most cases, you lose the TO game you lose "the game", period.

Cuse scored on every drive until the 4th quarter. Pathetic defense today.
and that was when they were trying to burn clock.sycasey said:Pittstop said:sycasey said:No. Cal scored a garbage time TD + 2 pointer at the end.philly1121 said:

It's a shame Wilcox wasn't coaching Syracuse. They would have gone into turtle mode halfway through the second quarter and let us back into the game

They honestly tried to do it in the 4th (our "stops" were mostly due to their penalties), but we couldn't take advantage.
Cal is smart in everything university wise, except for athletics, where it has been an 'F' grade for many years.
It could be so much better.

As bad as offense played, our defense cost us the game. No stops and no takeaways.
They didn't have it today. It was like we had the 4th quarter D against Miami all game long.
I could easily forgive them for a game like today... if it wasn't the FIFTH game of the season like this. This team, playing a bunch of poor-to-mediocre opponents, long ago used up its allotment of get-out-of-jail-free cards.
Agreed, and very sad to say and acknowledge this.
I am forever GO BEARS!, but this is F&*(ing ridiculous, from the coaching down to the fools in charge of the ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT, from the top down. All garbage. And the excuses, don't get me started. Knowlton, Simon-O'neill, Everett, you guys suck. Way too many more, and all corporate Gish gallop. I hope Cal makes a bowl,I think they will, I don't see them losing to the furd, but who knows. They will not beat SMU. So 6-6. oh boy....
I'm Done
GO BEARS!!

Our offense under Wilcox isn't even TRYING or HOPING to get 25 points in a game. We are playing pure defensive football except we don't have a defense capable.

Olympic sports are rock solid but we're about to lose it all.
My one take away from the game:
Syracuse coach continued to pass with a lead, rather than try to run down the clock, as Wilcox has done - and which backfired on him.
