Go BEARS!

Riley has shown flashes of great ability during his Cal tenure, but his mechanics have been tweaked and tinkered with so much that it seems he is thinking more about his arm motion when he throws than about actually completing the pass. However, I still believe that there will be a couple games this year when Riley puts it all together and we’ll beat a couple teams that we are “supposed” to lose to. I foresee a 7 win season and, no, that is not good enough for me.

We need a dedicated QB coach (Pawlawski???) We need a guy who can be a Ron Gould for our quarterbacks. Tedford should pass the QB reins and free himself to re-focus on being the innovative coach that got him the Cal job in the first place.

Maybe Tedford is worn out or burnt out but he seems to have lost his innovation relative to the other Pac 10 coaches, or hell, the lesser conference coaches (PoinsettaUtah, last FRiday UNR). Watching Harbaugh, Pete Carroll, Sarkisian or even a ranting Mike Stoops shows a passionate leader licking his chops to win. Tedford looks robotic and almost disconected as if he is just hoping not to lose. Sorry, just the perception of his appearance.

After we beat Stanford in 2004 to clinch what should have been the Rose Bowl (before So. Miss and Mack Brown)and watching all the players with roses clinched in their teeth on the field was the moment of a lifetime. My fan dream was to have Keith Jackson as the announcer while Cal played in the Rose Bowl, yelling “Whoa Nellie, how about them Bears” . Now we are lucky to get David Norrie or Bob Davie not insult Cal as we get waxed again on national TV.

Please go through my original post and directly quote where I called people who criticize Tedford a hater, whiner, cry baby or etc. You can’t do it because I didn’t. I called Mac Brown a whiner. Or called anyone a name? Still can’t find it? That’s what I thought.

” But Kyle, you just keep on pumping the sunshine and feeling cozy in your 7-8 win cocoon. It’ll be rainbows, unicorns, and puppy dogs forever! Just know that while other teams in the ever more competitive Pac12 continue to get better we will keep sliding – yes, that’s keep sliding, we’re worse now than before – because you don’t feel it is important to urge your team to compete. It must be nice to be happy while watching this team and the others over the past few years. I personally don’t understand how that works for you, but I will acknoledge that it must be very nice to be able to watch something like the Nevada game and turn the TV off at the end and feel ok and that the program is in good hands and in the right spot now and going forward. I’m sort of envious of that ability. But I associate that with mediocrity and “good enough” so I feel differently than I think you do when I leave the stadium after a game like Nevada.”

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Really?? Really??

You don’t think I’m mad after a game like Nevada? Of course I’am but I don’t think it is a lack of effort on the teams part. With your post you make it seem like Cal has come from a consistent 10 win a year program. They are not. Do I as a fan want them to win 10, 11, 12 games a year? OF COURSE!! But at the end of the day this program isn’t there and you can’t keep holding it to a standard that it has never been. Everyone talks about ability and how they aren’t playing up to it. How do we as fans know that they aren’t playing to their ability? Because Todd McCshay gave these kids a 4 star ranking? Because scout.com said Cal has a top 25 class? Maybe these kids are what they are. The point is this program is competitive, does put talent on the field, and is a successful program. 7-8 wins will keep pumping sushine, and all the unicorns will be jumping because that is hell of a lot better than a dark, cold place this program once was.

Roll on you bears!! Let’s bring our version of Desert Swarm to AZ saturday night.

There are those who love everything about Cal’s football season, no matter how disheartening. It’s like an abusive relationship. Your friends tell you that she’s no good or that she’s all talk, but you tell your friends that they don’t know her like you do. She’s awesome, she bakes cupcakes…even though she may just throw them at you.

Then there are those who want to control the relationship, but can’t. Your friends tell you that she’s no good or that she’s all talk, but you tell them that she’s a b- that can be controlled if you take charge. But you can’t take charge, because your girlfriend will never change and continue on with her bad habits of leaving her dirty stockings on your computer.

Regardless, we are all Cal fans. We love our Alma Mater. We all want Cal to do well. We say things that may hurt, that may seem rational to some but irrational to others, but what we want is a FREAKIN ROSE BOWL! IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK? I MEAN CHIP JUST FREAKIN STARTED AND BROUGHT HIS THUGS TO THE PAGEANT LAST YEAR….

ahem…I love you Cal.

GO KICK SOME TAIL, GO BEARS!!!!!

I have no problems with posters that have issues with some of the schemes or players making errors. They should performe at a high level and on a consistaint basis, no argument there.

But Dan, Eric, and Jauncho have proven over and over agian that they can’t like this team while Tedfords the head coach. No matter what they say to the contrary they believe they see the errors this coaching staff is too short sighted to see, and the current staff is not able to coach in todays game. They accually believe someone could just come in here and start pulling rose bowl births and 10-2 seasons out of a hat. They seem to forget that Tedford has only lost 6 games 2 times in his tenure, and every other season has had at least 8 wins.

To me these guys say very little productive things, and love to attack those more positive posters. In short, they are no better than Moron, a common troll. I will no longer be acknowledging thier presense on the blog. Call me out and say this is a public blog all you want, but these guys bring nothing to the table.
