There are no other reasons for him to laugh except that he thinks he performed well?

have you guys finished with Coach T and now turned on each other ? Well Happy New Year anyway ! <br />I hate to get positive here and ruin the conversation but I predict the best month ever in Cal recruiting ! If not i'll be back for a little crow.

<blockquote><div class="name-said">foradolla;663037 said:</div><hr>Because that's what laughing means at the end of a loss?

After reading this thread, I'm slack-jawed by the number of folks who<br />just know what Zack's sideline smiles/yuks mean. Alright, maybe, MAYBE they're right, but probably not. Using humor in a time of stress or grief is natural for some people, and can indeed be a leadership trait. And you don't work your way up to being a starting QB in the Pac 12 by taking your losses/poor performances lightly.

philly, last year was awesome but before that not so much. 2012 will see this freshmen class a year older with a quality group of redshirts playing. I think Cal will have the best defense in the conference and one of the best in the country in 2 years. If Jan. is as good as I hope Cal will be very tough to beat maybe next year but certainly in 2013. <br />If we can quit turning the ball over and help our D we will be able to play with anyone. And I know you guys will love this but :tedford

So no mystery there.

I actually did think retrospectively about my use of that "word."<br /><br />I've been thinking in German lately. "Quivel" is the german bastardation of "quibble", and even then was not properly used.

<blockquote><div class="name-said">LafayetteBear;661956 said:</div><hr>I agree with you 100% on this one, BearsWin. Watching Maynard laugh it up after screwing it up was annoying. Almost more annoying is having to watch, for the umpteenth time, JT standing there while the game slips away, passively chewing gum as if nothing has happened. I wish he would show that losing bothers him, that he really wants to win, and motivate his players to feel the same way. They clearly don't.<hr></blockquote><br /><br />I'd settle for Tedford not smiling after losing a Big Game...it's yuks all around for coaches and players after an L!! What a disaster.

Video or pic of this been posted...? Missed it and erased recording...

<blockquote><div class="name-said">CalReason;663522 said:</div><hr>Clearly you can by doing much less than that. Evidence = Zach Maynard at Cal Berkeley.<hr></blockquote><br /><br />Funny, I guess. I'm saying that any player that makes it to this level, whatever you think of his recent performance, got there the drive to excel <br />and an overriding desire to win. That's why I'd err on the side of caution when analyzing sideline laughter following a loss. Unless I was down there with him, of course.

<blockquote><div class="name-said">SchadenBear;662443 said:</div><hr>Dude, ZM is D1 and P12 because he plays QB in the D1 and P12. It's as simple as that. The only other P12 QB's lower than ZM are also D1 and P12 QB's. :headbang<br /><br />Heck, that $100 bill in your pocket, I don't think it's worth $100. How about I give you $65 for it and take it off your hands.<hr></blockquote><br /><br />By your logic, Quinn Tedford was a D1 and P12 quality WR because he played WR in the D1 and P12, right? <br /><br />I guess Mansion must have been a P12 quality QB too since he started at QB for a few P12 game.<br /><br />And RG3 is definitely not P12 quality, since he plays in the B12...

<blockquote><div class="name-said">BeggarEd;663604 said:</div><hr>As to your 'professional' presence: I'm sure your vast knowledge of cartoon network programming makes everyone cower in the board room...<hr></blockquote>Or, would if they let him in the boardroom.

For the players it's a reward and the dynamic is different than the regular season much as we would like to think it is not.

If it was "man, at least you're still alive" I could understand the smiles.<hr></blockquote><br /><br />It could have been, "man, Zach, I bet they're ripping you a new one up in Bearinsider." To which Zach responded with a huge LOL.

Maynard is enjoying starting as a Division I Football Player..... something even he must realize is a present from JT
