the CAL grade of C+ is right on. Enough said.

USC will be scary next season.

Come on, BBB, a C+??? At least, a B- and certainly ahead of the Bruins.

Agree Cal deserves a B- though admittedly barely. But I'd give the Ruins a C-. Sure they scored well on one test, (against us unfortunately), but their grade gets dragged down by not turning in enough homework, (50-0 pasting against U$C for example).

"Professor",<br />C+ is fair. Well deserved.<br /><br />But....I'll let you you know my well-to-do donor family will come see you next week.....and if you have any dreams of reaching Tenure without being scurried away to Pepperdine or Loyola, I suggest you hear them out!! :rant

I'm giving them a solid incomplete. And I expect them to complete the job next year.<br /><br />However, they get an A+ in the yellow flag tapestry class.

He has merely performed to his coaching ceiling, which will be his norm with occasional ups and downs. I mean, Cal lost to all the A and B graded teams (Ducks, 'furds, U$c, Dwags, and [SIZE="1"]ucla[/SIZE]) but, in turn, beat all the lower graded team (Utah, ASU, Buffs, Wazzu, Beavers....and probably 'zona if played) Thus, Tedford coached teams win the games they should but also lose the games they are expected to. Although we may experience an occassional aberation, I suspect that we fans saw what will be a typical performance from a Tedford-coached team. For me, I can base my Pac-12 grades on Cal's conference standing without having to grade the test papers of all the other conference teams because Cal with Tedford is the epitome of <i>average</i>.

multiplied times 10, if ever I saw it...another word for "average" is mediocre, which is what we are at this point, looking up at the A & B teams this year and probably next, as long as ZM is our starter. <br /><br />:cheer<br /><br /><br /><blockquote><div class="name-said">Blueblood;667991 said:</div><hr><img src="<a href="<a href="<a href="<a href="http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQlBAyk6nbxpgvk2Ki6viHlRT3HU0vu2YWlhRspsTzf3ujFZtE8""""" class="postlink " target="_blank">http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQlBAyk6nbxpgvk2Ki6viHlRT3HU0vu2YWlhRspsTzf3ujFZtE8""""</a> class="postlink " target="_blank"><a href="http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQlBAyk6nbxpgvk2Ki6viHlRT3HU0vu2YWlhRspsTzf3ujFZtE8"""</a>" class="postlink " target="_blank">http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQlBAyk6nbxpgvk2Ki6viHlRT3HU0vu2YWlhRspsTzf3ujFZtE8"""</a></a> class="postlink " target="_blank"><a href="<a href="http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQlBAyk6nbxpgvk2Ki6viHlRT3HU0vu2YWlhRspsTzf3ujFZtE8""</a>"" class="postlink " target="_blank">http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQlBAyk6nbxpgvk2Ki6viHlRT3HU0vu2YWlhRspsTzf3ujFZtE8""</a>"</a> class="postlink " target="_blank"><a href="http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQlBAyk6nbxpgvk2Ki6viHlRT3HU0vu2YWlhRspsTzf3ujFZtE8""</a></a>" class="postlink " target="_blank">http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQlBAyk6nbxpgvk2Ki6viHlRT3HU0vu2YWlhRspsTzf3ujFZtE8""</a></a></a> class="postlink " target="_blank"><a href="<a href="<a href="http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQlBAyk6nbxpgvk2Ki6viHlRT3HU0vu2YWlhRspsTzf3ujFZtE8"</a>""" class="postlink " target="_blank">http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQlBAyk6nbxpgvk2Ki6viHlRT3HU0vu2YWlhRspsTzf3ujFZtE8"</a>""</a> class="postlink " target="_blank"><a href="http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQlBAyk6nbxpgvk2Ki6viHlRT3HU0vu2YWlhRspsTzf3ujFZtE8"</a>"</a>" class="postlink " target="_blank">http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQlBAyk6nbxpgvk2Ki6viHlRT3HU0vu2YWlhRspsTzf3ujFZtE8"</a>"</a></a> class="postlink " target="_blank"><a href="<a href="http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQlBAyk6nbxpgvk2Ki6viHlRT3HU0vu2YWlhRspsTzf3ujFZtE8"</a></a>"" class="postlink " target="_blank">http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQlBAyk6nbxpgvk2Ki6viHlRT3HU0vu2YWlhRspsTzf3ujFZtE8"</a></a>"</a> class="postlink " target="_blank"><a href="http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQlBAyk6nbxpgvk2Ki6viHlRT3HU0vu2YWlhRspsTzf3ujFZtE8"</a></a></a>" class="postlink " target="_blank">http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQlBAyk6nbxpgvk2Ki6viHlRT3HU0vu2YWlhRspsTzf3ujFZtE8"</a></a></a></a> /><br /><b>"I grade based upon the test performance day, regardless."</b><br /><br />What the data shows me upon a simple review is that the grades show Tedford is an average coach.
