Also: The CGB has been posting a lot lately. To not be forgotten are other excellent posts: See Maharg shotgunning a beer; some more photos from the Cal game, and videos of the awesome marching band performance, see my post-game thoughts and overly generous grade to Riley; our discussion of the Top25, and see our once-per-month post by CBKWit. Also, Hydro's amazing analysis and a discussion regarding running up the score. Plus, YouTube Thursday, and the Roundtable. And don't forget our Q+A with Addicted to Quack and a slight statistical rundown of the Ducks.

does'nt matter...
they’re running the ball, not passing them
On a passing down...
they still don’t pass.
We were ready for that one, though.
polar bears thrive on water
golden bears walk on them
MISS
Can’t count on that the rest of the quarter. C’mon Bears! Finish now!
this game has been nothing BUT odd.

That’s what I get for using CBS’s website…
Insanity is just a state of mind.

i dont know how our o-line is even functioning rright now
i'm here to clean your pool but i don't have a pool *bowchica bowow*
Quick, call your plays to get in the endzone
best up middle, best up middle, play action to best up middle to morah. TD
You win games like this...
by not fumbling punts inside your own 10 yard line.
anyone know the penalty count in this game? it seems pretty high.
i'm here to clean your pool but i don't have a pool *bowchica bowow*
cal - 7 (for 80 yards)
oregon – 4 (for 36 yards)
Okay, they did it now
But how long has it been?
He's the kind of player...
you love when he’s on your team, and really hate when he’s on the other team.
ok so the georgia tech game is over
And the illinois wins… can they please show the cal game here in NY?!!
I would consider a safe pass on third down
If you convert it, the game is over.
If nothing looks good, Longshore can just kneel down.
I think a safe pass won’t be a horrible idea… but I agree with just running it out because of the logistics of the clock and the necessity of two possessions.
Running it was the safe choice
and I have no faith in Oregon’s ability to throw the ball.
anyone know if cal tried to recruit masoli from ccsf?
it seems as if our pipeline from ccsf dried up after the way the fans treated ayoob here
i'm here to clean your pool but i don't have a pool *bowchica bowow*
Whew...
I have a feeling that reality is going to hit us hard next week, but a win is a win.
I feel sorry for belloti... he's slowly becoming Tedford's bitch.
really, that’s got to be embarrassing.

We catch a lot of breaks when we play Oregon
As great as Ezeff’s play was last year, it really was a lucky fluke.
Today was sort of random. The slippery breaks could have gone their way.
They can’t seem to beat us, just like we can’t seem to beat Arizona.
so where was this defense in Arizona?
or is it that 1) Oregon offense really wasn’t all that great to begin with… 2) weather ruined everyone’s afternoon or 3) arizona’s offense is really that good?
thanks
good game, we were never at ease
btw, are you the same jshufelt from beer advocate?
Hmm… nope. Different guy, but he’s an impostor.
It's spelled "S-h-u-M-i-l-d-l-y-A-t-t-r-a-c-t-i-v-e"
Serious question: Anybody do a real statistical analysis on 50/50’s drop percentage?
I watch almost every Oregon game every year and have seen him drop balls for years… When the ducks aren’t playing Cal I root for jwill… so I share some of the frustration (although I love him during our game).
Thanks
Oregon made a good job keeping us on the edge of our seats though. Looks like Masoli is going to be a good QB for you guys.
Well at least we have inside track for the Holiday Bowl!
Wooo bring on a Big 12 team that’ll put 50 on us!
I don’t think anybody wants the holiday bowl or the Las Vegas bowl this year… Rose bowl or Sunbowl is what I’m hoping for.
I’m serious… we’re WAY too young on offense to get into a shootout… if you’ve seen our WR core and our decimated OL play this year… you’ll know that we’re not ready for TTech/Okistate. Last year I would’ve welcomed it because we were favored in any shootout… but not this year… our defense is winning games for us.
I would love the Holiday bowl… We’ll be against a highly ranked Big 12 team. Could be a big win for us….
...nuh nuh nuh gone
A win would be huge for us… but still wouldn’t give us much cred…. there’s not much to gain with too much to lose….
With our youth… and the plodding style offense… and a new OC… do you think we can get into a shootout with a big12 team this year? Also, if you watch Okistate and TTech, they’re playing some defense this year too…
Danzig right
I’m in agreement with Danzig, No way do we want to get into the Hol bowl again. I don’t mind the Las Vegas bowl for obvious reasons, but we would lose to BYU this year because we can’t outscore them. So yup, Sunbowl is better. Lets get a win.
with our banged up o-line? i highly doubt we can win, esp. away
i'm here to clean your pool but i don't have a pool *bowchica bowow*
usc's defense is too dominant.
…and going one dimensional on them (air attack) won’t work
i'm here to clean your pool but i don't have a pool *bowchica bowow*
I’d be very happy if the line’s that low.

Means that Vegas values Cal pretty highly if they do.

I felt kinda dirty winning this game
It was just ugly.
I wonder how practice will go if present weather conditions continue
...nuh nuh nuh gone
Our girls take on #6 Washington tomorrow @ 1pm PT

That wouldn’t be ugly to watch at all.

Is there any chance the Trojans started preparing for us THIS WEEK
They wouldn’t be that brash after OSU, would they?
...nuh nuh nuh gone
Well, things like this make me think they treated this like a week off. This is pretty much a bye week for them.

the guy ringing the bell for ttech looks like he's jerking off when he does it

who to root for?
i hate mack brown (for obvious reasons), and tech for the holiday bowl embarrassment.

Oh what a miserably great game. Great crowd in Q. Props to the Ducks, a tough team.
All things considered, the D was great. Special teams were great. Giving him credit, Longshore held it together. The O-line held it together. Anger. Follett.
Masoli can run but he can’t pass. But he is a tough runner. The Oregon Spread is really just Student Body Left or Student Body Right.

I am catching a flight tomorrow night to Tampa, FLA to campaign and do GOTV for Obama. Then me and my buddy are driving cross country to the U$C game, leaving Tuesday night.
U$C actually has to score and the Cal defense is damned tough. No matter what the spread is, I’m taking Cal. Hopefully Riley will be back in action. I thought his drive was awesome and I also thought Longshore played aggressively well.

College concussions aren't easy to recover from
He might be out of action for a week.

Masoli reminded me of Levy except that I think Levy was a much better passer. He does not remind me in the least of Dixon.

Or 2003 Young, you know, before the two became awesome.
by BearsNecessity on Nov 1, 2008 6:10 PM PDT up reply actions
Steve Young, he of the 49ers, took quite awhile to learn how to throw. So there maybe some upside for Masoli if he improves in throwing. He is however, a gifted runner.
No one else on Oregon really stood out. Well, Johnson was ok.

Patrick Chung stood out with his disappearing act.

Just got back
That was of the most fun games I have ever attended. It was comparable to Tenn ’07 and Oregon ’06. The crowd was much more impressive than I expected, especially since no one showed up until sometime during the first quarter (and then many left at halftime). We had some great chants too (heckling Oregon #23 the entire game).
It was also one of the most bizarre games I have ever attended: 5 first half Cal TOs and 0 points off them by Oregon. Our receivers dropped slightly fewer passes than normal even though it was a monsoon out there. After last year’s 4th quarter kickoff recovery against Oregon, they allow us to do the same thing but on a punt. Cal decides to wear its bumblebee halloween costumes. Overall it was a very strange and very, very enjoyable game. I would have been very disappointed if I had stayed at home.

Yes!!!!
This was a huge win for the Bears, and I frankly like their chances vs. USC. Without being so bold as to predict a win, the Cal defense—and an inconsistent Trojan offense—virtually ensures it will be a game, just like 2006 and 2004. The question then becomes: Can the Bears make the plays in the 4th quarter to walk away victorious?
This was maybe the best game of Follett’s career. Simply outstanding. Also, it was a promising day for the receivers, and a nice afternoon for Nate. Assuming he’s healthy, I still would like to see Riley start against the Trojans. But it’s comforting to know we’ve got a solid senior QB in reserve.
Go Bears!
as nice as it was to see some improvement in our passing game today, i hate to be the wet blanket here, but unless we suddenly establish a running game by next saturday, i don’t see how our offense can expect to do anything against sc’s defense.
i'm here to clean your pool but i don't have a pool *bowchica bowow*
hey guys!
I just got back and dried off…We started tailgating at 9:30 (thanks to Tedford’s recommendation) and managed to light the charcoal BBQ in the gusty Lawrence Hall of Science parking lot!
It’s nice to have a veteran backup QB! I wish the line could have sprung Best and Vereen for more yards.
Outstanding D! Pain Train and Williams came up huge!
Two-thirds of the earth is covered by water, the other third is covered by Kotsay...in his prime...like 3 years ago.
Just got back too, and I gotta have it...
… a copy of that Cal fan of the game from both this week and last. I can’t remember the gentleman’s name, but anyone who stays at the game while his house is on fire, and challenges the student body to run a 100% perfect card stunt day earns my respect. Anyone have any idea if the videos can be found on YouTube?
That dude put me in a bad situationb y saying you never put your wedding during a Cal game. Ai!
Please disregard the above ramblings as those of a clearly delusional fan.

Is it dying during the Cal game or having the funeral? Or, alternatively, both.
We could hear the student seciton making many chants but couldnt make them out. Any help? Also, feel free toa nswer all these questions in the new thread for the sake of awesomeness.
Please disregard the above ramblings as those of a clearly delusional fan.

If I remember correctly...
… he said “death,” which leaves it a bit open to interpretation, but most literally I take it as you are forbidden from dying on game day.
There were lots of organically generated chants that were relatively normal “1st and 10, do it again,” etc. But there were a ton of “23’s a bitch!” chants. It was chanted many times when he was on the field. It made me feel a little awkward because I was wearing my Ta’ufo’ou jersey and he’s also #23.

CBKWit is about to finish it and have it up. Sorry we took our time getting back from the game. In the future, we’ll make sure to speed back and get it up immediately, so you can insult Longshore 30 minutes sooner. I know it kills you to have to wait 30 extra minutes to rail against him.
Please disregard the above ramblings as those of a clearly delusional fan.

GREAT NEWS!!!!
Aaron gets an extension… and a romo-like contract… a cool $65mil.
http://www.jsonline.com/sports/packers/33650499.html
Citing a league source, the NFL Network reported that the contract was worth $65 million over six years, with $20 million guaranteed.
He is currently under a 5 year $7.66 million deal. Until Friday, his base salary was $680,000. He was expected to enter free agency next year.
The deal was patterned after those signed by Dallas quarterback Tony Romo almost a year ago to the day and another signed by Jacksonville quarterback David Garrard in April.
Romo had made 17 starts by last Oct. 30 when he signed a six-year extension worth $67.5 million nine days into the Cowboys’ off week. His contract contained $30 million in guarantees.
CaliSeth reported this on Thursday.
I wish they’d waited until after the season. He’s going to have a let down against the Titans.

Oh, and #10 Utah barely beats New Mexico (cleaner than the Old Mexico) 13-10

this is weird formatting...these had their rankings next to them but it showed up as "1."
