Notre Dame and Miami are playing a good one in Florida. Not sure which program to pull for.

Saw the commercial promoting the NC-TCU. Belichick looks rough and heavy. Maybe his 20-yr-old GF should take a class on caring for the elderly. Can't wait to catch up with Dykes - my favorite carpet bagger!

Overall though, I'm feeling quite good about what I saw of our 2025 Cal Bears. The OL played awesome, our QB is amazing, and our D looks solid. Glad to see the DBs gel throughout the game. Masses got a 100-yd pick 6 take away by a BS call but ran back that interception for nearly another TD. This will be a special season!
Roll on you Bears!

This game is living up to the legacy the two teams created when they played each other in the 80s.

but not a big draw. I love that the JKS show returns to espn late night on the east coast vs Minnesota, though. But we have to take care of business and stay healthy this weekend.

North Carolina has horrible pursuit technique and no penetration at the line of scrimmage, but at least the QB has only thrown one pick-6

I can't believe I paid $5 for the day pass for this nonsense.

If I were a donor funding this current North Carolina team, i would be PISSED!!!

Belichick's team is horribly coached, horribly prepared, has a horrible plan, and is just straight horrible.

UNC is a legit conference realignment rival of ours, so I'm ok with BB making the team irrelevant for the foreseeable future.

Wilcox is a jagoff but I have never seen a team as comprehensively inept as North Carolina tonight, and their coach is an all-time great

Belichick has never won without the greatest quarterback of all-time.

I was rooting for Gronk's former coach.

I'm glad he's winning.

He had one playoff win with the Browns!

The great thing about our sched is that we get the toughest two teams, Louisville and SMU, very late in the season, when JKS and the receivers will have had plenty of reps together. Also @BC is later this month, so no potential frigid weather if it fell in November.

Louisville is not looking very impressive right now. They are losing 14-6 to James Madison in the 3rd quarter and are getting pushed around on the line of scrimmage.

Update: As soon as I posted the above and jinxed James Madison, Louisville completed a 64 yard TD pass and got the 2 point conversion, so it's 14-14 now.

still doesn't change your perception of their ability. I'm as surprised as you are. Hmmm.

Aside from a big play against zone coverage, Louisville has gotten no push on either side against James Madison.

Yeah, Louisville has rushed 24 times for 30 yards against a Sunbelt defense. It's giving me 2024 Cal flashbacks.

So it looks like SMU is the only potential ACC heavyweight on our schedule. If we put it all together this could be a memorable season...

This is the season where we can truly see whether Wilcox can convert the most favorable schedule in memory to the expected win count. Winning conference record and at least nine wins. We'll have a better idea of how it's going to go after Mini-soda.
