If for some reason, you think Cal and Wilcox are going to pull a rabbit out of a hat, I think tomorrow's game with Leach's Cougs may clarify the futility of Cal football for the remainder of this season.
The Bears aren't going bowling.
You know who is going bowling? The MWC's San Diego State, Boise State, Wyoming, and Air Force are going bowling. Hell, Nevada and Ha'hawai'i have a better chance of going to a post-season bowl than the Bears do.
I know some of you are thinking, "Big deal, Cal is going to play Florida in about a hundred or so years." I won't belabor the point, but I would like to call your attention to Florida's stellar rampant recruiting while Wilcox has been coach. In 2018, the Gators got 15 **** recruits, in 2019 1 ***** recruit and 14 ****'s, and for 2020 so far 11 **** recruits. I know that there is no need to cite Cal's recruiting during these same time periods as there is frightfully no comparison; whether Wilcox goes or stays will make no difference to these stats.
Given the above, I haven't updated my seasonal predictions for the unranked Bears.
Note, I not only highlight in bold print the Bears' progressive overall won-loss record but also my overall predictive record, too.
IN-SEASON PROJECTED 2019 CAL FOOTBALL SCHEDULE OUTCOMES (Updated)
[1] through [8]
Cal 4-4
Blueblood 4-4
[9] Washington State This game is not hard to call anymore. Wazzu's QB Gordon is hitting his stride. Cal's offense is stagnant compared to the Cougs' potential to score, which, if they do in Berkeley, Cal won't be able to keep up. This game will decide last place in the North division. A Cal LOSS is foreseen.
[10] u$C- Even though Helton is now a dead man walking, u$c still demonstrates that they nevertheless have a lot of talent. This talent gap should favor Trojan QB Solvis. The Bears just don't have the depth to hang with the Trojans. This will be home game LOSS.
[11] @dirty stanfurd- The Big Game outcome will be dependent upon which QBs are able to show up for the game. However the return of QB Costello should be enough to produce another Big Game Cal LOSS. I'm glad that I'm still practicing bending over, or maybe we should all practice shouting in unison, "Oink" when the furd fans "Wooh" during their raggedy a$$ band playing of "All Right Now!"
[12] @ucla - Chip's in-progress team just got their QB Dorian R-T back; the bruins have now oinked three in a row (furds, ASu, and the Buffs) with his return. If Kelly remains healthy and with this game in L.A., this game is yet another a Cal road LOSS.
Whoa, I am still predicting Cal to have a slouchy 4-8 season with no bowl invite, and I make this prediction no matter who plays QB for Cal. It's obvious to me that Wilcox isn't concerned about upgrading the offense (may be he doesn't know how?); this would be alright if he had a plan that he would share with us fans, but he doesn't (may be he doesn't have a plan?). If he is dependent upon others to come up with these plans, then he shouldn't be head coach. Currently, this looks to me to be the situation.
