Wow you guys sure know it all. They looked so unprepared and obviously weren’t playing for anything. Please keep these moronic posts to yourself. Actually no keep posting them we can all use the comic relief. GO BEARS!!

I’m thankful for continued u$c sanctions, including the loss of 10 scholarships per year for the next 3 years.

I am wishing a very Happy Thanksgiving for all of my fellow posters on this board.

I just don’t buy into the pessimist’s argument that this is a sign that the coaches and/or team has decided to quit. They have played every week since usc without a bye.

Cov and We….not buying the rest and recoup a argument. I actually played 7 years of football including one year of JC ball. The players are MUCH more specialized these days, routinely shuffling in and out of the lineups. The hitting is undoubtedly more ferocious in this era, and players are bigger and faster. But I just can’t accept the argument that two days off in a short week in a s statement game is going to give Cal any kind of edge. Did the Stanford team take two days off in preparation for Notre Dame?

I am expecting a “mail it in” performance on Friday. Hope I’m wrong.

I just played hs ball – back up – but I played enough including practice that my body felt like sh*t by third game and never really recovered until a few weeks after the season ended. 90/95% of the guys felt the same, esp the starters. (There are always a few genetic freaks who are bullet proof.) I can barely imagine what Sunday morning must feel like after the hitting in a Pac 12 game.

That said, I will be very disappointed if we don’t beat asu to make up for losses to ucla and uw. We need to keep improving. We need a good road win.

Go Bears!

This late in the season, rest and recuperation are more needed than repetition, especially for a short week. Anyone who has actually played or coached football would know this. The guys should know how to do what they’re supposed to do by now, but if they are too stiff and sore to do it, they won’t.
I am glad I was wrong about Calvin.

Gentlemen is it possible that the coach might know more about the physical condition of the team than we do?

I saw a very physical game saturday night against Stanford.

It would indeed appear the Bears have decided they have nothing to play for. It’s conceivable that a win could put them in the Holiday Bowl. If Washington and Utah go down on Saturday, Cal would be in a great spot with a win to get into a quality bowl.

But why should our coach give a whit? He’s going to some bowl, and that apparently validates his job next year and beyond. ASU is going to come out with it’s hair on fire on Friday. I look for a reprise of the 09 season finale at Washington.
