		<description><![CDATA[KYLE: The QB competition was NOT a competition. It is looking more and more likely that the REASON maynard is starting is because Tedford doesn&#039;t want to piss off his best player keenan allen. 

Do you remember what tedford said in regards to maynard being awarded the starting QB &quot;we love his mobility, he can run. He gives us another dimension.&quot;

Really Tedford??? Maynard has 29 yards rushing with a SOLID 0.9 average. LMFAO.

Fomer cal players chris conte, donovan edwards, david seawright have all tweeted why AB hasn&#039;t been given a shot...but good ole&#039; stubborn Teddy wants his guy, NO matter how poorly he plays. 

Tedford is not OWED anything CAL fans!! He makes 2.8 million dollars a year. Letting him open the new stadium is a joke, I can think of 2 million eight hundred thousand reasons why he shouldn&#039;t. 

HE is sleeping on the job. He makes lame excuses after every blow out loss, bottom line he is a COWARD.

He threw desean jackson under the bus after the 2007 COLLAPSE. Threw Tosh Lupoi under the bus after the oregon fake injuries...he&#039;s the HEAD COACH he is responsible.....no he&#039;ll just let TOSH(are ACE recruiter) take the fall for it...COWARDLY MOVE.

He is frankly an embarrassment to the University. We have not had a competent QB in over 5 years. We have ALL-AMERICANS allan brigeford and Austin Hinder sitting on the bench WONDERING why Zach Maynard is playing. 

The sooner TedFRAUD is gone, the sooner we can get excited again for Cal football. Back to back thursday night BLOW-OUTS is a pathetic representation of our football team and University.

FIRE TEDFRAUD NOW!!!!!!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[#25 Old calfan.  As I was exiting AT&amp;T last night with every other Cal fan after the last SC score (while the SC fans celebrated inside like it was their house- well I guess it was last night)- I was sort of having similar thoughts.  

I thinking about the upcoming Utah game, here was the thought process I went through-  

1) Well of course I&#039;ll go, it&#039;s a Cal &quot;home&quot; game. I always go to Cal home games.

2)  It&#039;s a 4 PM start- I have the whole morning to myself, can get into the city (from Pleasanton) early afternoon, hang out with friends and enjoy what will likely be a beautiful afternoon and evening at the game.

3)  Hey, they play Utah- Utah is bad this year, their starting QB (who destroyed us in Poinsettia Bowl less than 2 years ago as a team from the &quot;inferior&quot; MWC conference). just head season ending surgery.  We will probably win.  Not exactly a great victory, but hey, I&#039;ll take it, you know &quot;A win is a win&quot; and all that stuff.  Might be one of the only chances to see a Cal win this season.

4)  Hey wait, we&#039;re pretty bad too.  

5) Actually, we suck.  

6)  We not only suck, we are painful to watch, continue to be undisciplined and make tons of stupid, unforced mistakes, show little heart or character, go quarters without scoring even 1 TD, have the worst QB play in the conference for years now, are the most-underachieving team in the Pac 10/12 (AGAIN!) and have a coach who makes $2.7-$2.9 million a year who does less with more than any coach in college football.

7)  If I didn&#039;t go, the game is on TV, I wouldn&#039;t be sacrificing from about 11 AM until 10 PM- basically an entire Saturday to sit and be frustrated and abused.

8)  As bad as Utah is, they are usually very good and very well coached.  I could totally see us losing to them.  Not even a question.

9)  As bad as Utah, we could be worse.  What did they lose to SC at SC by- 2 points??

10) If i go, it&#039;ll likely cost me over $200 to go (ticket, gas, parking, food, beverages)- man, that is not an insignificant amount of money.  

11)  With all common sense, why would I give this football program another dollar with the totally pathetic coaching and lack of leadership going on.  I have literally spent and donated tens of thousands of dollars over the past 2 decades.  The only vote I have is to stop spending money that will go to the football program.  As Gary Radnich always says, you tell teams what you think with your wallet.


12)  Added this AM after #25 Oldcalfan&#039;s post.  
Simple:  I will not attend another game until we have a new coach?  Thinking that over...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tedford is a great coach. He makes excellent quarterbacking choices and has the respect of his players. A perfect time for him to take his talents to South Beach.
I imagine that this unraveling is taking its toll on the seniors in particular. It&#039;s clear Marv has very little interest in listening to the scornful reproach of a head coach who is owned by a 17 year old kid from north carolina.
It was hard to root for the team yesterday. I felt terrible about that, but of course, have had that feeling before. It finally dawned on me (after years of manufacturing very creative excuses) that we will never win anything of significance with Tedford. Not the most original idea, but sad and true nonetheless.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tedford was great his first 4 years.  He is not even remotely that same guy.  He needs to go back to what he was to be successful.  If he can&#039;t he won&#039;t.  I will admit I loved the guy but can also see he isn&#039;t that same guy.  Not sure why there are others who can&#039;t see it.  He coaches scared now instead of aggressive.  Teams reflect leadership.  Isn&#039;t helping his either what Harbaugh has done with Stanfurd &amp; 9&#039;ers.  Coaching matters!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is clear that Tedford = Braun.  What remains to be seen is... 

*  Tedford &lt; Braun - this is very plausible, I&#039;m not sure that this isn;t already the case.

*  Tedford = Holmoe - if the prior is true, it doesn;t seem that far for this to be true.

*  Tedford &lt; Holmoe - I don&#039;t know if this is even possible, even with what we are seeing.  But it&#039;s not ridiculous to consider.

Also, so much credit has been given to Tedford for the new facilities.  What will be the credit, or blame, if tens of thousands of seats sit unsold/empty and donations are way down and the University is in serious financial crisis (worse than it already is) due to the unserviced debt and inability to pay for the &quot;House That Tedford Built&quot;? 

The Pac 10/Cal has already sold it&#039;s soul to ESPN, Comcast, etc. How bad will it have to get if Cal continues this slide and tremendous under-achievement?  I guess we&#039;re going to find out.  

Meanwhile Sandy Barbour continues to espouse the greatness of Tedford in interviews- though, what else would she say? Does she really believe that, or she is just trying to convince herself, and us in the process?

Given that Tedford&#039;s guaranteed contract runs through 2015 (I believe), I think he&#039;s in this job until at least the end of the 2014 season, if not the end of 2015.  That&#039;s 3-4 more seasons after this one, people.  It&#039;s almost &quot;heaven help us&quot; if he has a deceivingly decent year or two and Barbour gives him another long extension.  Talk about feeling conflicted... how depressing.]]></description>
