"Played well in the first half, but just didn't execute in the second"

We won the first half

and

I saw a lot of positives....

If he actually says we won the first half... Well, I just don't know what to do but wait out his contract.

I won't predict the post-game quotes but I'll take a crack at predicting his post-season quotes:

"Obviously, this was a difficult season and we're not satisfied. We will re-examine everything this off-season and make the necessary changes to bring the program back to the level of success we expect."

"We played a really good team in Oregon. You can see why they are ranked so highly. I think we did a lot of good things tonight but we need to be more consistent. I think we are close we just need to tighten up a few things and we'll be fine, it's a long season..."

Go Bears!

I know what to do....put together the DVD collectors' pack! 2nd half vs. USC 2010, and now 1st half vs. Oregon 2011! Just in time for the holidays.

...."we have to play better...."

Only Cal football can make me laugh and cry simultaneously I think. I definitely see the other quotes coming. I just hope he doesn't pull out the first half score or anything that can be considered a "moral" victory.

He needs to get away from that and he needs to recognize it.

When it mattered

"We won the first half. What do you expect?"

Wouldn't it be great if JT gave a speech like this instead?

"Dang it, no one told me Oregon wouldn't capitulate"

Fixed it mr tedford. did not want to make you look any worse than you already did on your own.

"I can't say much until we look at the tape."

will the DVD be available in a gift pack with Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and The Year Without a Santa Claus....'cause if it is, I might consider getting this.

"...the defense didn't adjust and collapsed, we dropped passes and the offense went 3 and out, we totally tzsuched. It was a total tzstinking asz-kicking in the second half...the coaches tzsuched, the players tzsuched. We just plain tzstunk up the place. It is as phfricking simple as that! It was a total embarassment, and there is no excuse for it."

:axe

Our line did a good job, and our running game looked good. Oregons a tough team. We went into halftime leading. We just didnt execute in the second half.Well review the tape and get ready to play USC.

Wow! I'm glad that's over.

"What to you mean it's my job to modivate the players at halftime? I thought that's why we had the pretty helmets"


"look out $C we got new jock straps for next week"

"It's a simple game. Two baskets and a ball."

Wow, Tedford really does post here.

"We were right there, and after that first drive in the second half, it got away from us a little bit, and things snowballed. Otherwise, it was a tightly contested game, no question about it. Todd, you ready to do the magazine show?"

Winner.

thoughts? from calbears.com:

"Each time out is a learning experience. We'll take a look at the tape and see how we can improve and how we can help as coaches. Like I told the team, we all share responsibility in this. We need to coach better, put them in a good position to be successful and everyone is responsible for it. We'll take some good things away. We didn't win the football game, but there are always some good things and you have to recognize the good things."

I was right, "we need to look at the tape".

this is no longer a "learn on the job" position. JT has had 10 yrs to "learn" how to get the best from his players, adjust at the half, out coach the other coach. where the hell does it end if he can't get it right year after year?

just man up, and say, "I, we, haven't done our job against the better teams. Screw the tape and cliches, no team will work harder than us for the rest of the year. I guarantee that. We will no longer get blown out like this ever again. We will do that to the others."

if he ever said that, I'd be back on the Cal wagon in a heartbeat. show some damn passion and I'll follow.
