So what do you do? Do you root for USC because the pac-12 needs all the respectability it can get, or do you root against USC because you need to be able to look yourself in the mirror tomorrow morning?
Never root for other P12 teams. They are all Cal's recruiting rivals. The perfect post season for the P12 would be 1-6. Sadly, UW ruined that.....
A rising tide lifts all boats. I say root for other Pac 12 teams unless you hate them enough to root against them.
The Pac 12 doing well has never done anything to lift Cal. The only thing they could do to help us is negotiate a better TV deal.

That was enjoyable watching USC get completely bulldozed at the end of that drive.

I find it hard to believe Clancy has lasted so long at SC.
I find it hard to believe that so many people on this board were absolutely CONVINCED that he was a great college defensive coordinator

I mean seriously. Root against the P12 in bowl games? Some people on this board have such loser mentalities.


Generally. But SC and Stanford are reasonable exceptions.

Complete and utter nonsense and I can't believe smart people still cling to this garbage. The next time a 1 loss Pac-12 champ gets left out of the playoff, we can revisit this.

Funny how your QBs go down when you throw 50 times per game. Oh well, I'm ready for Cal to lay a beat down on SC. I think the conditions are right. Bruce Snyder is whispering in my ear.

Iowa would probably blow out every team in California right now.

I see. So basically it's emotion then?

Is there a metric that shows how a recruit or recruits chose Cal over SC or vice versa because of winning or losing a bowl game OR the quality of the bowl game they were in?

Helton actually has a good record. But you can't take beat downs to Iowa if you want to last long there

Iowa is probably better than its 9-3 record would indicate but getting pasted in bowl games indicates major game preparation issues.

Lights have turned out on SC. They lost Slovis and the air got sucked out from the team. Iowa may hit 55+ if they try.

Yes. SC looks like Cal late in so many games under SD. They are defeated and obviously not playing as hard as they were earlier in the game.

Was just thinking that same thing. Truly remarkable.

What's even more remarkable was watching Cal rollover to this same sc team at home in the JR Memorial game. Brutal.

Seeing Michael Pittman and Amon-Ra St. Brown make our secondary look silly was mind-blowing if anything.

Iowa was so impressive tonight in all facets. A model program in many respects. So glad they BEAT the Trojans.

Cal beat UW, UW beat SC. Transitive property doesn't tell us much in college FB.

I hope we get an OC that can run an offense similar to how the Iowa OC is running his offense for the bowl game: It seems like it is a good balance of run and pass and some imagination thrown in. It looks a bit like the SF offense.


I was thinking the exact same thing. No reason we can't do what Iowa is doing to sc

Maybe we won't ever be quite as good on the lines as Iowa, but I feel we can be slightly more athletic than them at the skilled positions.


We can't ever expect to be as good on the lines as Iowa!?!? If you said that about Bama or OSU (or even USC), fine. But we can't hope to be as talented on the lines as Iowa!?!? If that's true, Cal should just stop pretending to play real football.

I especially enjoyed the last 15 minutes of the game which the announcers largely used solely to dump on everything and anything SC-related. From the administration to the athletic department to the coaching staff to the fans to the recruiting class and so on. At least they had the decency to not mention that the hoops team is in the midst of a full blown NCAA investigation.

For long time posters, Amy must be on suicide watch. His/her "Daddy" is saying, "Oh please, answer my prayers."

Iowa was higher ranked than USC to start with, and then SC lost their quarterback. This wasn't too surprising.

Amy was a strange creation who was in all likelihood not an SC fan/alum. She seemed to have a problem with Cal winning, and chose to beat the SC drum because they were the team that was better than Cal in that timeframe.

Since Cal has dropped out of national prominence, Amy has gone bye bye.

Not sure which rumors were true or concocted about who Amy was or what triggered the massive amounts of postings on a wide range of sports sites, but the one that stuck in my head was that his dad was a somewhat major donor to Cal and that Amy himself did not get into Cal and ended up at SF state or Davis or similar, and harbored some resentment.

While on the subject of BI crazy 'guest' posters, Trojan Al was almost certainly a Furd invention, right? Make SC alum look like total entitled but incompetent jackasses while occupying and antagonizing the main Cal board...
