Imagine if we were "healthy". We might have 5 wins already.

Right now, I'm thinking that if this game somehow ended 79-50, we could declare it a moral victory.
C,mon Bears, let's take advantage of garbage time to get to 50!!!
Cal failed to cover by 11.5. I was wrong. Cal would have covered a 40 point spread.

We're struggling to score on against their walk ons. Get Fox outta here.

I would've loved to have dropped 50 on 'em tonight, but this team just can't put it in the hoop.
Knowlton, if you're reading this: A tarmac opportunity approacheth!
Kuany did good things tonight - he's one guy who has improved quite a bit in his time at Cal. Wish he could stay here another 4 years.
Knowlton needs to be tarmacked before Fox. I wonder if that loser clown JK went to LA or if he's hiding somewhere in shame.
After games I usually post about players who have good games, but today it's hard to say any player did
The closest were brown with 10 points and 3 steals but he had no assists to 4 bad unforced turnovers
And 2K with 14 inefficient points and 5 rebounds
But everyone else had really bad games, and I think uvcla bench players out scored our (mostly) starters
Worst road series in memory

Well there was only 1 walk on at the end. Many of those players were ranked including a top 30 player
Just shows how deep they are
2K would be a good guy off the bench for like 10-15 minutes. That he has to provide a lot of scoring makes it really hard for us. Same thing with Lars. Same thing with Newell. Etc.stu said:

I certainly can't argue with that, but Fox has two years left on his contract, whereas Knowlton has -- what, twenty-two?
I would love to amp up the heat on L'Affaire McKeever until Knowlton decides it's just not worth the hassle to be here... and then we buy him out at a fraction of his remaining contract (actually should be do-able in the current climate)... or even just fire him for cause and let it play out.
But realistically, we might have to let him hire a new hoops coach next month and hope he doesn't blow it again. If you have a better idea that might work, I'm all for it.
The crazy thing is, senior figures in the Cal administration think highly of JK. I wish I were making that up, but amazingly it's true. The consensus is he's doing a good job which actually calls into question their sanity.
OK, then who are these seniors and how can we put the heat on them?

We need 1) an investigation of his actions/lack of actions in the McKeever scandal and 2) We also need to put pressure to have the basketball hire taken out of his hands and given over to a search committee of Cal basketball alumni not of his choosing (ie guys like Monty Buckley).

On paper, it figured to be a tough trip. It turned out even worse.
Let me take a moment to salute those of you (masochists though you may be) sticking with it. Talk about thick and thin. These days must be the thinnest ever. I understand those who can't do it. But for those who are still riding with the Bears on this journey from hell, I say: Roll on, you sturdy Golden Bears!
Great. Thanks for the badge of courage, but losing by 72 points over a weekend trip to LA is not acceptable. Unless you are the jackasses in charge. Which they are and apparently it is OK.
How much money and power is enough?

well sure, when he was a bruin his sister was at cal (northside euclid hall co-op)Big C said:
It wasn't until recent decades that I knew that he actually liked Cal/Berkeley.

Yup, he would love them to stay forever. Pencil in a "W" or two every year.bearister said:
Walton: "Cal has a tremendous staff over there."
His sister Cathy and I both lived at Ridge Project (now Casa Z) starting autumn, 1974 - a big place so I didn't really know her. Bill and his wife dropped by that winter, he was wearing a cast - I think the first of his many foot injuries. Suddenly she was gone that spring - the story was that she joined the Moonies.smh said:well sure, when he was a bruin his sister was at cal (northside euclid hall co-op)Big C said:

What kind of a sick, twisted, demented f*** does that type of forensic accounting of the Bears' point differential in the SoCal beatdowns?
I can't answer that question, but what I do know is that you gotta really respect that.

This weekend down south reminded me of the old cartoon short "Bambi meets Godzilla", Cal being Bambi of course, being flattened when Godzilla's (USC, UCLA) foot steps on him. Or the old SNL Mr. Bill skits where each time Mr. Bill (Cal) meets Sluggo (USC and UCLA) and squeaks out "oooohhh noooooo, he's gonna be mean to me!
I think I remember him saying his father attended Cal.
It's.....
Springtime for Hitler, and Germany!
Winter, for Poland and France....

They could care less - we are literally not even in the same league (starting 2024) and figuratively now.
Wait, did you just like something Philly?bearister said:
