I feel that we're playing moderately well considering all the injuries to the offensive line
could be worse… 2 turnovers and we’re still up by 3 points…
That safety was nutty, as was that extra point block. It should be tied, but I’ll take it.

damn
big best run and red zone drive wasted.
hopefully
longshore can get it done. riley was looking good.. but that was a nice 4th down conversion
best video ever
by the time i came back from wtaching it, oregon was punting the ball
I dont know why Longshore is the holder even when he is the QB on the field. Tedford should think about rotating him out when Longshore goes in. Remember the Romo debacle when he was starter/holder?
After reading A Few Seconds of Panic
it’s pretty apparent kickers are picky about who their holder is. They want someone who works best for them even if that means starting QB; I guess Tavechio is used to Nate.
longshore is the holder, even when he's in as QB, i believe.
i'm here to clean your pool but i don't have a pool *bowchica bowow*
defense
is looking good now. getting comfortable
receivers..
CATCHING passes? for longshore and for riley…
will the defense actually be better next year? What do you think?
LOSS
Linebackers
-Williams
-Follett
-Felder
Defensive Line
-Rulon Davis
GAIN W/ MORE EXPERIENCE:
2ndary
+Syd’Quan Thompson (He needs to work on his 40 time, so he’ll be back)
+Darian Hagan
+Sean Catthouse
+Marcus Ezeff
Linebackers
+Eddie Young
+Mike Mohammed
Defensive Line
+Tyson Alualu
+Cameron Jordan
Debatable. Not something we want to think of right now.
The secondary will be heavily hyped, that’s for sure.

Even with the better secondary, It will be tough for the Bears losing so much from the Linebacking Core. You lose the leadership of Felder and the fire of Follett.

Yea, I know i opted to watch from home rather than sit in the rain today. I kind of regret it now, but at least im dry and I have food and beer.

Bah. My lil’ sis probably didn’t go either. Meh. I dunno; you don’t know pain until you sit through a Cal loss in the rain. Needless to say, USC last year was disappointing. I imagine it was even worse for my friends who flew in from Texas.
I stood through the USC game last year. That was mind-numbing.

I sat through USC last year and LOVED it. This year is a bit of a different circumstance though.

My poncho was worthless. I ended up using that yellow shirt for a turban to keep my head relatively dry.
I didnt even bring a Poncho…I wore shorts, 2 t-shirts and a sweatshirt. I came back to my apartment about 10 lbs heavier because of my rain-soaked clothes.

that pacific life mascot is ingenious
seriously, who doesn’t like whales?
They said he was disoriented and wasn't really sure where he was...
… sounds bad… hope it’s nothing serious
Not sure if he was being serious, but the sideline reporter said something about him not knowing where he was.

now VEREEN
is fumbling!!
look how much more we’ve done on offense but 4 turnovers = 3 point lead.
well that was a big hit
on vereen.. can he be blamed too much.
maybe slocum will get his first non garbage time carry
Wasn't as dumb as UCLA's try
The Bruins had to gain, what, 23 yards or something? That was stupid. This was a reasonable gamble, under the circumstances.
sloppy game...
if this game were in the SEC, people would be saying “THAT’S SEC DEFENSE BABY. DOMINANT.”

defense
but offense needs to stop turning it over…
total offense cal leads 212-52!!??? 7 points offensively!
I hope Riley is ok..
not likely to return, right?

No matter how good the play looks...
I hold my breath until it’s over.
big play..
and we still have possession?? huh
no
I wouldn’t have thought that Longshore would get into the game, actually
by the federer express on Nov 1, 2008 2:05 PM PDT up reply actions
our offensive line is playing hard
going into this game, i was really worried about all our injuries at the OL. so far, they have done an admirable job of protecting Nate “Slightly less mobile than a statue” Longshore.
We should probably just go for it on 4th down in Oregon territory
And maybe go for two if we ever see the end zone again.
Even so, if you give the 2 pts back, we would still be winning.

how dark is it btw?
no lights setup today they said? is it really that dark? its hard to tell on TV
Well, looking out the window is not that bad right now.

by the way, watching the stupid georgia tech game in NY on ABC
they’re at halftime, and the two highlights for the cal game was
1) riley pass to ross for touchdown
2) longshore incompletion to tucker and his helmet and the ball comes off instantaneously as he gets hit.
I dunno, those kicks have been entertaining.
by BearsNecessity on Nov 1, 2008 2:14 PM PDT up reply actions
will Best see the field again?
can the O score another point? i somehow doubt the final score for Oregon will be 6.
i dont think we need much adjustments at halftime but im sure their offense will make some so we better be ready.
WORRELL!!
come on you could have made it the rest of the way
Need a touchdown now
We need to take advantage of this IT.
1st down is the best down to throw on in goalline situations.
by BearsNecessity on Nov 1, 2008 2:20 PM PDT up reply actions
we better get a touchdown
even this close a FG seems tough right now
Need a pass now
Longshore rolling out isn’t a serious option
that touchdown
looks mighty serious to me
by falseintellect on Nov 1, 2008 2:21 PM PDT up reply actions
our offensive line is a patchwork
and we try to punch it in for 6?
thank god!!!
oh man this streaming video has like 20 second delay
There you go
Smart, safe play – and it was executed well by Longshore and Boateng.
finally, some effing separation between the two teams
i'm here to clean your pool but i don't have a pool *bowchica bowow*
did anyone else notice tedford's hat?
it looks like it’s black with an orange cal logo. halloween themed? or was it just me.
why is tedford so mad?
what’s going on between him and the officials?
starting recievers..
Tucker, Boateng, Ross.. Young made a good catch too.
this is going to be a good group next year.
