Welp. Maybe Ron will explain how if we truly believe, Cal will grow wings and fly.

JKS comes down to earth tonight. It happens and 6 sacks doesn't help.
I wonder how Wilcox apologists are gonna lower the bar for this year. Perhaps '7-6 will represent a step in the right direction'?

I'm guessing 2 plays then a turnover.
I hate me sometimes.
love it. we can write this script.
so we called giving up a TD after 4 straight defensive stop. then we called it. 2 plays and an INT
i think now its letting them burn 4 mins off the clock for a FG. then some meaningless completions down the stretch
Goff was running for his life all 3 years he was in Berkeley, JKS might get the hang of it but he can also hit the portal and not have that problemDaveT said:
QB pressure has been the big difference. They've done a great job of it, we haven't.
Oh yea, and they catch the ball.
Things can change, but no reason JKS would stay for another year of this right now. Poor protection, crappy receivers, no other weapons, possible coaching changes . . . . We may be able to find the money, but I'm not sure how we fix the other issues.
We lose JKS because there is no talent around him. Our team speed is at a high school level.
Our only real shot is making Rolovich the coachDaveT said:

Yet again, one team made adjustments and the other did, well, whatever the **** Justin Wilcox is paid to do.
We made adjustments on only one side of the ball
Which side was that!?

We love saying how stars aren't everything, but that's just because we don't get stars.
u would think that wilcox would say lets go for it after stopping them 4th straight time with no gain and tron got a reception and its 4th and 4th. i get it. if we dont get that fourth down then its game over. but u gotta know your own team man. when is the last time your D came up with a stop a 5th series in a row
wilcox's stubornness on sticking with his conservatism and also his lack of ability to build an offense is maddening.

The players don't matter if Wilcox is still the coach.
For the record, offense, defense and special teams all failed today.

This is the third game where he's been down on earth.
SDSU started with drops and ended same as this.

I don't blame conservatism, because his problems are not that specific. I blame just being bad in general.

He's playing like a true freshman behind a porous line. I'm not sure he's ever experienced this level of pass pro ineptitude in his life.

These guys are paid for this.
At least we have a back-up QB for a million $$$. It did not to take a rocket scientist to look at him play at OSU to see he had nothing. Jeez!
Im done, my last post of the year
What we're seeing now is the consequence of us winning those meaningless games at the end of prior seasons. Short term dopamine hit that dooms us to futility in the future games that matter.
Wow, just plain awful. No other way to describe it. 38-0 after a 14 point lead in the 2Q. Amazing.
Time for a shot or 2 of whiskey.
Goodnight.

Just to think that 10 months ago, 98 yards with the boys was the whole differencepingpong2 said:

This team will never rise above their loser coach.
9 years of failure and counting.
Enough is more than enough

Well, reality has set in.
Destroyed at home by Duke.
Everyone we beat so far looked awful today.
Schedule is still weak, so it will probably be . . . another .500 season, give or take a game. Further stagnation under this coach.

A historically easy schedule and we can't take advantage of it because we have a historically subpar head coach. Just the most Cal thing ever.
Cal football is a dead man walking.
I've watched every season since 74-75. This is atrocious. We have elite talent like JKS and we can't cobble together enough around him to make him successful against mediocre ACC opponents. Makes me sad….

It will be interesting to see what Ron Rivera does ....
Edit: whatever he does, I have a feeling Ron's style is to wait until the end of the season to make his moves (if possible).

I honestly think for some of them, they have no choice but to double down and keep rooting for Wilcox because they don't think they have enough time to enjoy the fruits of a rebuild. It's the whole "I don't buy green bananas anymore" situation applied to football.
Ron should fire JW after this game.
UCLA fired their HC recently and won against PSU today.

Sadly I don't think we can afford to fire him unless donors are willing to pony up some big money. Equally sadly, we can't afford to keep him around too. I've asked before whether there's appetite for donors to send money to a buyout fund instead of the NIL fund, but I guess that's off the table. So it would appear that we are absolutely ****ed once the next conference realignment happens, unless we can luck into a generational hire and rebuild the roster in the span of one or two seasons.
