Low scoring, big swing play dependent outcomes.

Sometimes we win, sometimes we lose, but it just ends in .500 football.

I'll have the PFF breakdown and the Guess the Score standings update at some point today. I have a lunch meeting at 12:30 and some other commitments, but those will get done and posted today.

lets get this thing to 3-1

If y'all ever benefitted from Berk18 before, he's doing new content on The Coordinator Project and it's SUPER good content.
He released a new video today on what Ohio State did to exploit ND's run defense a couple weeks ago. Give it a like and subscribe!

I know Musgrave has these formations/motions in his arsenal, so let's see if we have the execution on Saturday against ND. Go Bears!

Not Cal vs ND related

that’s it.

That’s a penalty?

Here is Jesse's quick reaction from today's loss in South Bend highlighting some of the key moments in the game.

Didnt see a thread yet. Go Bears!

Must connect on those pass plays...

As requested, here is an in-depth PFF report on the Bears through two games as well as the requested redshirt tracker.

I'll do this each week moving forward with the data from the previous game rather than season totals.

Any questions not covered in the report, feel free to ask!

To the Bear fans that made the trip, where are y’all at (once you arrive in SB)?

I made the trip from Houston with wife and three kids. I’m parking on the west side near Burke golf course and then walking toward the stadium to see the Basilica, grotto, etc along the way. Near the stadium, anyone know best options (specific lots, etc) for food, drinks, and festivities? Also curious where the big Cal tailgate is, although I know it was sold out and wasn’t actually planning to attend.

Also, what’s the best recommendation as far as how early to enter the stadium if you want to see someone their traditions in ND like the band and such?

didn't see one of these..

ND, 27-13

I looked on ND Rivals page and saw that they are scheduled to have over 35 recruits on Campus to attend the game against Cal. They even have a WR from Hayward, who was just offered recently, attending as well. Not only would this be a great win but it would go a long way with turning the heads of some the recruits that are attending the game. Does anyone have any info as to why Cal hasn't gone after the kid from Hayward?

Please see the attached release. For those who fretted about fund raising for the Title IX facility deficient women's sports, that "roadblock" is no longer in the way. Open your wallet @Harky4 its time to share the serious cash.....

Funds Raised

took them this long to shoot something up on tightwad?

A good look at the Irish here by Jesse:


I have a lot more coming for you today as well. I finally drove home yesterday from Stanford after spending two days in a hotel in Santa Cruz trying to finish my business taxes before my extension deadline (what a nightmare -- worst day of my year every year). I went straight from Santa Cruz to USC practice, barely making it for interviews, and then got home and was asleep by 9:45. So I'm catching up on a lot across the board. Bear with me and by the end of today I'll have a number of pieces up here.

OK, OK, here we go! Week 1 was easy, Week 2 was more like a normal week of Guess the Score. That said, nobody need be discouraged by a bad result last week. Remember, you get to drop your two worst scores/missed weeks. After Week 4, I'll factor that into the math. So starting with the standings after next week, I'll put your two exclusions in bold and average the other scores, updating the exclusions as needed each week. So the early standings really don't mean a ton, unless you're off to a dominant start like @spbdoug or @drfunk4316. When I drop the excluded weeks, the standings will change significantly. Anyways, keep getting your picks in. You're allowed to miss two weeks, and some -- like MYSELF -- have already used one of those. Oops.

Onto the results ... the aforementioned @drfunk4316 wins with a guess of 24-13 Cal (actual score 20-14, thus off 4 on Cal and 1 on UNLV). Two free months are being added to his subscription.

Last week, all the subscription extensions were processed, but I only heard from @cal1982 about the Amazon gift card. I wanted to do them both at the same time, so I still need @Ptown Mac11 to DM me with an email address.

Any questions, let me know!

Got to CHI-town yesterday afternoon with another Cal couple. Gibson's last night and Tavern on Rush. Lots of Bears out and having a good time. Wrigleyville and Cubs game today, will represent. Expect lots of other Bear fans there.
Go Bears.
