For those of us who couldn't make it, I felt represented!!
The spirit of Cal is bigger than any AD, coach or coordinator... it's about being proud alums and lifelong fans through it all..

Let me know if you are selling tickets for the Big Game? Might be looking for two additional tickets.

So says the email I just received from Cal Field Club . Is this even possible? I hope so

this isn't gonna matter because there's only one game left in the season, geep isn't the OC next year, etc etc etc and it isn't obviously this reductive (because when they started ****ing running it finally, they got ott out into space first, as opposed to completely ignoring his existence as a runner or slashing him inside in the first few quarters) but this game turned in part, once they decided run the ball, lol

We ran the ball 0 times in the first, 6 times for 22 yards in the second, 4 times for 5 yards in the third, and 12 for 86 in the 4th. (some of these passes I think were RPO choices but generally speaking i thought we needed more intentionality there)

These are the first 9 of those touches, before Ott's last 3 carries for 9 yards to seal the game off the pick:
6 yards, 8 yards, 14 yards all ott touches on the td drive to close to 17-12
6, -1, 21 to get us into RZ (completely inexcusable plummer int)
15, 6, 2 on the first try at a clock killing drive (we woulda got it without yet another unnecessary penalty)

You get the idea. This coulda been won by many more points if we thought about it earlier.

Here are all the postgame press conference videos from earlier after Cal's big win plus a photo gallery from the game.

Jesse's preview and matchup breakdown (different format than in past week):

E60 documentary about the play on espn was great. Almost made me appreciate starkey. I noticed it’s also on the ESPN app on my Apple TV if people didn’t record the original showing.

Ron Rivera loves cal like no other. When Wilcox gets fired offer him the job immediately and make him turn it down.

2-4 for the week for 38-34 for the year. 0-1 for the lock of the week for 3-8 for the year. https://cal.forums.rivals.com/threads/lets-pick-the-pac-12-games-week-11.31597/

[home team in italics]

WSU by 4.5 over Arizona - WSU is WAY better than Arizona. WSU covers.

Oregon State by 7.5 over ASU - Beats me. Oregon State?

Cal by 4.5 over the Furd - Pillow fight. Cal covers.

USC by 2.5 over fUCLA - fUCLA is the better team and this is a bad matchup for USC. They cover and win.

UW by 30 over Colorado - Letdown. Colorado covers.

Oregon by 3 over Utah - Oregon covers.

'
Non conference lock of the week: Michigan by 17.5 over Illinois - Look ahead. Illinois covers.

What do you say about this Ryan?

I'll be locked in on it (once I remember how to access ESPN+)

Wrapping up my football story in the meantime.

The ESPN E:60 on the anniversary of The Play is terrific!!
It's a must watch as we get ready to beat Furd!!

Taking a break from my hiatus to say Fu*k Knowlton for hiring and giving an extension to Mark Fox. Both need to go.

One that scores points..I know 🤣

I will be on there and will provide real time updates in this thread as well as a story soon thereafter.

Still researching for names I want to put on our OC hot board -- would like it to have some good depth. I'll keep working on that tonight. We also have basketball against San Diego at 7 p.m. -- a showdown of 0-2 teams!

I'll start putting anything relevant in here.

I know that this topic is played out, but it still blows my mind that Justin Wilcox literally flushed his head coaching career by pinning it all on a retired NFL OC, after three seasons of great defense and poor offense. AND after two seasons of it clearly not working, he doubled down! Last offseason would have been the perfect time to move on from Musgrave and bring in a new OC alongside a new qb and all the skill talent we had coming up.

By now Wilcox’s problems go beyond the OC, but a good hire in 2020 and this all could have gone very differently. it’s just kind of sad.
