Subject: Cal at Autzen

No matter that Cal failed to play ball last year against a clearly superior team faking injuries. It’s not even about notable a notable alumna that equips their team as well as Oregon’s. What matters is quality. Both teams have it.

For those bitter about Oregons lack of a large stadium with geographic and associated revenue and recruiting challenges I say whine to someone of your ilk. Cal is has every advantage on many levels. Show up Thursday and win, Cal. Otherwise be bested by another great team fielded by a relatively small school in a Northwest backwater with a small but loyal fan base.

It is simple, cheating is cheating! Cheapin the game and we may as well watch that pro-wrestling! The game is played for the best team to come out on top!

Wow, The D must be the one and only logical Duck fan. The amount of crap I’ve been taking from my friends IRL & online elsewhere about the fake injury stuff is in overdrive.

Yes, Jimmy, we know how the game went in the 4thQtr. Some just have selective memory. But, the fact that Tavecchio’s choke was major. Had the Bears added the 3 points who knows what would have happened.

Just like we need to win by a touchdown to overcome the lopsided officiating at UW, we will need to win by 2 touchdowns (or go into it with that attitude) to overcome the even more lopsided officials on the Nike payroll. I’ve never seen such ridiculousness as I’ve seen from the officials covering oregon home games. If not for replay, Cal would’ve been hosed out of the 2007 victory for sure. Not to mention no ejection for purposefully spearing Longshore’s lower half. I think the atmosphere the fans create for the team up there is incredible, and it’s a great experience (the likes of which I have yet to partake), but until I see a fairly officiated game up there, I’ll remain a cynic. go bears.

The only bad thing Tosh did was to take the fall for Tedford. Tedford knew what was going on and he put the black cloud over a great performance from the Cal team. Next Thurs game will be another classic.

An uncharacteristically sensible comment from a ducks fan. Cheers D. Let’s hope for a great game with a Bears W.

The ‘D’ stands for Duck fan and I’m not denying that Cal played us tough last year nor am I saying that it was the Duck’s best game. Cal put a lot of pressure on us, from the fans, coaches and players; a great effort. That Cal held themselves accountable for inappropriate behavior is worthy and speaks to the high regard in which Duck fans hold their program. That Oregon pulled the rug from under the Bears season the previous season provided motivation aplenty to ‘get back’ at the Ducks. I hope that all that crap is now behind us all and that the game next Thursday will be another classic, the game of the season in the PAC 12.
