Does anyone who watched an inspired UCLA thump Nebraska, or heard that ASU easily took care of Illinois, think that Cal is going to be anything other than 1-5 in early October? I would love to hear their business case. The PAC 12 is a WHOLE lot better now with new coaches in Westwood, Tempe and Tuscon. And it looks like Mike Riley is awake again. Cal is an uninspired mess right now with team disunity that can only be caused by a coach who no longer commands the respect of his players.

I figured that Nevada was going to lose today because they’re just not that good. And I will bet that Southern Utah doesn’t hang 31 points on anyone the rest of the season.. This is getting scary.

To clarify – The incident between JT and ZM was not after the wimpy decision to punt, it was after ZM overthrew a wide open Stevens on an easy TD. Seemed like JT grabbed Maynard to inquire and ZM lost it, yanking his arm and shoulder out of tedfords grasp, and stormed off after saying something with ban FU look on his face.

Funny BoaltBlue, but I am still waiting for the defense of last week. Why is pointing out criticisms “pathetic and detrimental to the program”? Please explain your evidence as to how a single post here has had any detrimental effect?

I am proud of ZM for wanting to go for it on 4th and 1 on an FCS opponent’s 1 yard line. Who can rationally defend JT’s decision not to? Anyone?

I think that kicking in that situation makes the players wish they were playing for another coach. That is how I would feel. This example is why JT is a terrible coach and must go. Sandy?

Another beer please…

Seems pretty clear he was pissed about not going for it’s on 4th from the 2. As were about 30,000 fans. Finally someone on the team had the stones to call out jt on it.

We won. It turned out to be a glorious day and a fun game to watch at Memorial.

Your constant whining is pathetic and is detrimental to the program.

I really hope someone questions Tedford about the Maynard incident. Bay Area media is so timid with that sort of thing. We need to hear about it.

I don’t get the hate for Sandy. We roasted former AD for letting Snyder get away. As much (or more) than anyone, Sandy kept football at CMS. Tedford had leverage in contract regotiations and used it–the alternative was a coach with no contract when we were looking for recruits and dollars to get CMS done. Sandy could have managed the baseball/etc teams better, but in the end we have all the sports retained plus SAHPC and CMS and we have talent in the program for either Tedford or his replacement to coach.

Saw Zach call out Harper for a bad route coming off the field. Didn’t see the sideline interactions. This team doesn’t resemble early Tedford teams where esprit de corps was evident from HC to walk ons.

I didn’t notice ZM on the sideline, but I wasn’t looking.

Agree on the OL…if they can’t push around Southern Utah, could be trouble.
