We should compile a list of all the haters at this point. IF we do do well next season, it'll be fun to look at this list and then see their reactions if we pull out a solid, if not surprising season.


all these negative reactions are hilarious

Correction. It is called NegaDykes! Why not make a list for both?

Should we call the other ones SonnyPumpers, or Bear Raiders???


Can't we all just get along...we can all be Hottie Appreciators

Define 'well.' I'm not very excited about this hire, but it's not because I don't think Dykes can win eight games consistently, it's because I don't think his ceiling is much higher than that.

Oh, but the bar has already been set at "solid". 8 wins is definitely "solid".

TBH I'd take a consistent 8 wins with a few 6-6 and a few 10-2 thrown in. If Dykes can achieve that... I'll be happier than I am now.

I will be the first one to admit I'm wrong and let everyone mock me if Dyke takes us to the Rose Bowl. Not terribly optimistic though.

I am. Dykes was an awesome hire! Especially since our final three was Hue, Rivera, and Dykes. Dykes was the obvious best choice!

Looking forward to seeing our offense actually score for once! GO BEARS!

Go ahead. I guess BI is back to the way it was before...no criticism allowed.

Where did you get the idea that Jackson and Rivera were in the final three? Dykes is a fabulous choice in comparison but his competition for the Cal job was far stiffer than one coach who is not really available and also questionable for a college HC fit and another that never had a chance and was pumped up so often by 5 or 6 Raider fans here and Mike Silver that he "became" a candidate.

why do you feel the need to support some sort of further polarization? jesus we are less than 2 hours into it, gimme a break smh

I think that if you look at any perceived "haters" then you'll prob see a dislike for the hire but a willingness to give it a chance to work and be proven wrong

I'll own up and say I'm wrong if Dykes takes us to a BCS bowl by 2014- as txwharfrat predicts.

Agreed. It's become like politics. People now focus on their differences as opposed to their common goals.

We are all Cal fans here. I would like nothing more than for Cal to do amazing under Dykes, but I doubt it will. It's not like we're guaranteed a Rose Bowl if Peterson decided to come aboard either.

However, if CP didn't perform as well as hoped, I could understand Barbour's thinking in the hire. Now, if Dykes does not perform well, it's ALL on SB.

This is a risk. No doubt about it. I do not think this is going to end well, but I obviously, like everyone that feels that way, hope to be proven wrong.

Sigh, this is a huge letdown for me. I will get season tix, but no way are my friends and I going to pony up for ESL seats again. This year was basically a slap in the face to the fans. It was embarrassing to watch that product on the field. I am not getting fooled again. I will go to the games since I will always support the Bears, but there is no way I am spending thousands on tickets again until the ship is righted. If that makes me a fair weather fan, so be it.

At this point it's more like SkeptiDykes than NegaDykes...

I'm not all that excited about this hire, but let's give him a chance to show what he can do.

well given the outrageous comments about dykes we've seen in the 2 hours we're into it, it'd be interesting to see what these haters say.

honestly, ctfd, if ur taking this seriously, it's sad.

and "jesus we're are less than 2 hours in" is right. I'm smh-ing and posts from certain posters...i'd love to see them eat their words if we do well.


It's definitely not skepticism that we've seen today, it's down right irrational disbelief that we went with dykes...and taht in itself is amusing
