YouTube Thursday - A Trip Down Memory Lane

by TwistNHook on Oct 30, 2008 3:00 PM PDT in California Golden Bears Football

Hmm. Oregon. Where should we start?

Here?

Yah. That'll work.

Cal and Oregon have had some crazy games in recent years.

2006:

And of course THIS PLAY:

And of course, who could forget 2004:

But hey lets give the Oregon fans something to look at:

I love Requiem For A Dream soundtrack, dont you?

And not every school can say it has its own airplane:

We're going up against Masoli at QB. He comes from CCSF. Hey, didnt we once have a QB from CCSF. Booya? Baayo? Something like that. I've completely wiped that from my mind:

We'll also be facing Patrick Chung (of the verb Patrick Chung):

Normally, I might put a music video here or something like that. But in honor of the awesomeness known as October 29, 2008, let's just watch this right here. Right fucking here. RIGHT. HERE:

That last video is foreign to me. What sport is that? Looks like an evolutionary version of kickball.

I'm noticing a pattern of teams crapping away games in this series...

Oregon in 2004/2007
Cal in 2005

Don’t forget Cal in 2003 – blew a good 4th quarter lead to give that one up.

Its a few years old now, but man that 2004 game was great. We jump out to a huge lead and BARELY hold on thanks to a blocked extra point.

Plus, that last play. That was intense. Unfortunately, I was unable to attend the game, watching it on TV. But I remember a friend of mine got a ticket through a friend of his. Only problem? That dude went to Oregon.

So, my friend is in the Oregon section in his Cal lettermans jacket. And on that last play, he told me his section (i.e. Oregon section) was going CRAZZY while the ball was going through the air and then got pin-drop quiet after the TE dropped the ball.

Just like that first video above.

Oregon ’06 or ’07?

by CalBandGreat on Oct 30, 2008 4:00 PM PDT reply actions

Tough call...

…but the punt return in ’06 was unbelievable, not to mention enhanced by the SICKEST block I ever saw in my life. I mean, when they have to stretcher a dude off TWICE for the same hit…

World Series

I’m a Giants fan, not a baseball fan, which means I paid ZERO attention to MLB this year. However, I did catch the final outs of last night’s clincher, and I have to admit that I enjoyed seeing Philly fans celebrate. And true to form, did you notice how they booed Bud Selig during the trophy presentation? Classic. You’ve just won the championship, your first in decades, and you still have the composure to rain a hearty shower of (well deserved) hatred down on the Commish. I love you guys.

all those reasons, plus the ’94 strike and the debacle that was the expos (and the threats to contract several other teams).

also, philly fans will boo just about anybody or anything. i’m not sure what’s wrong with that city.

Man, I'm nervous about this game

Oregon is, I think, better than we thought in the preseason. I was just re-reading Hydro’s, Twist’s, CBK’s, (et al) previewing the season – Oregon post and realized one of the few unknowns Oregon had going against them—-the offense—-has gelled pretty nicely over the past few weeks. It was clear even back then that they had a great O-line and that certainly hasn’t changed during the season. Masoli has seemed to find his footing and running the spread pretty well. Quick guy too. But from what I read and the few clips I’ve seen he has troulbe staying in the pocket and gets jittery when pressure is put on him. We’re going to have to have Zack, the D-line, and the pain-train bring-it hard Saturday.

On D Oregon returns an awesome secondary and Reed and Tukuafu on the DLine! With our receivers unable to get open and visibly demonstrating signs of being allergic to the ball when thrown their way, I get all quezy (sp?) inside thinking of our Offensive production (or lack thereof).

I don’t know much about their receivers, running backs, or LBs…anyone been keeping up with Oregon and able to comment on this?

by SonofCalifornia on Oct 30, 2008 7:21 PM PDT reply actions

Oregon has a nice stable of RBs, but I don’t recall any of them really standing out except Jeremiah Johnson, and rumor has it he’s injured for this week’s game. I’m not sure how good Oregon’s secondary really is. They are praised as the best secondary in college football, but I think they are comparable to our secondary. Their top DB Byrd is roughly equivalent to Sqyd. Oregon’s secondary was absolutely torn apart against USC and somehow let Boise St’s freshman QB pick apart the defense. I don’t know how important their secondary will be, however, given that the rain will limit our passing offense.

ಠ_ಠ

by Berkelium97 on Oct 30, 2008 8:18 PM PDT up reply actions

I keep going back and forth on whether the rain will hurt or help us. I feel like we have the stronger running game and the weaker passing game. So, it could be good. But we are Cal. So, Im always nevous.

correct answer.

actually, what makes secondary look good is a good pass rush, generally. make the offense throw quickly and to the second/third option on a play.

Go Bears Go

by Rocksanddirt on Oct 30, 2008 10:11 PM PDT up reply actions

Rain will be slightly worse.

The Ducks are more used to rain and it could help take our crowd out of the game. However, Twisted, if you are hoping to start your dog Nate, remember that Kevin Riley is from miserable Portland, Oregon, as opposed to Nate’s perpetually sunny San Diego.

Which is even more hot and miserable than San Diego. In fact, it was close to 90 degrees there yesterday.

The rain may make both teams more one-dimensional, but wouldn’t that go to the Ducks’ advantage? We’re playing with a banged up O-line that might not be able to open holes, while the Duck’s O-line is looking pretty solid. But then again I have faith in our LBs and D-line. Just worried about our O-line opening enough holes.

Blount has been a major standout at RB (Save USC). Johnson takes the start, but they split the running duties almost 50/50.
