And he just gave us an "A." When was the last time those two things happened on the same weekend?

Furd will now drop Prof. Wilner's class and it won't show up on their transcripts.

Of course, leading the article with the $20mil debt link. And, I dispute whether the ute TE would have scored...he was on the 3 yard line and the lb was in close enough pursuit to stop him short, since the te was moving parallel to the goal line.

That is how I saw that play as well. The only way I see that TE having a chance at scoring is if the QB lofted the ball a bit toward the end zone to lead the TE in that direction, but then the catch becomes a bit more difficult.

He would have scored if the pass and catch were absolutely perfect. Think Barnes to Tony G. or Rodgers to Cross.

and if Webb had thrown perfect passes all day we win by 30....that's football....the pressure of the moment is not the same as in practice.

+1 Wilber's "A" comes with all kinds of qualifiers.

Wilner was utilizing the Furd's early-2000s Law School Grading Scale. His grade currently translates into the standard B+ in the core Science, Technology, and Society classes.

I give the Furd an A+, absolutely brilliant performance. Who was the last Heisman candidate to not score a touchdown during an away game prior to Chrissie?

He could not give them a D, because Furd no longer gives D's. Seriously, they eliminated the D grade.

Hell just forze over. I don't recall Wilner even being interested in Cal until the last several years, and my impression is he is now getting it right more than any other Bay Area beat writer. Scary.

Well it is a pointless grade at pretty much any institution. If you're below a C, you don't pass so why differentiate between failing and failing miserably.

Damn. Me too. I just hope that ugly girl from freshman dorm doesn't remember that conversation we had.











Or popped for the lap band.

They do have that option without it showing up on their permanent transcript, but only if the application is mailed by 11:59 P.M. 2017-01-15.
