wow

if you’re gonna be a douche, at least let us win

by the way

this stream is far superior to the one on justin.tv

That’s why we blitz my friends.

EITHER PUT IN RILEY

or we will lose. Damn, feels like I have seen this movie before. FUCK.

just imagine

how happy you will be if we actually win this game. That is beyond my active imagination.

by Moscow Doug on Nov 8, 2008 6:58 PM PST reply actions  

Well, Riley’s in.

by BleedinBlue on Nov 8, 2008 6:58 PM PST reply actions  

Longshore with the hat, does that mean he doesn’t think he is coming back

by Tedfordisgod on Nov 8, 2008 6:58 PM PST up reply actions  

don’t they always wear hats on the sidelines?

www.californiagoldenblogs.com

by HydroTech on Nov 8, 2008 6:59 PM PST up reply actions  

Probably when they wear the headset.

by Tedfordisgod on Nov 8, 2008 7:00 PM PST up reply actions  

Gentlemen, I’m not sure I agree with the move to put in Riley for health reason, but this is a game for men. Let’s go Bears!

by The Hombre on Nov 8, 2008 6:58 PM PST reply actions  

I’m just praying he doesn’t get hit hard.

by HydroTech on Nov 8, 2008 7:00 PM PST up reply actions  

Nice play by the SC LB there.

by The Hombre on Nov 8, 2008 6:59 PM PST reply actions  

I think this was a planned sub for Riley

…. if LS wasn’t effective in the 1H, he was going with Riley at the drop of a hat… let’s see if i’m right at the post-game presser… i’m sure the question will be asked.

by danzig on Nov 8, 2008 6:59 PM PST reply actions  

The offense just feels more dangerous with Riley out there. I have hope!

by Tedfordisgod on Nov 8, 2008 7:00 PM PST reply actions  

I agree…. i just hope Riley’s relaly 100% okay enough to be playing

www.californiagoldenblogs.com

by HydroTech on Nov 8, 2008 7:01 PM PST up reply actions  

me too. we need him for the next 2 years.

by Wham on Nov 8, 2008 7:02 PM PST up reply actions  

Like you said, I don’t think Tedford is the kind of coach to risk the health of his QB just for a game we were expected to lose. He’s probably okay to play, as long as he doesn’t run headfirst into groups of LBs.

by Berkelium97 on Nov 8, 2008 7:02 PM PST up reply actions  

I feel like Riley should be wearing the old Steve Young double helmet out there

by Tedfordisgod on Nov 8, 2008 7:02 PM PST up reply actions  

Take a hold, take a 15 yd for a chop block, but DO NOT LET THEM HIT RILEY. Still don’t think I like this move. But what do I know, my school’s down 35.

FUCKKKKKKK

by HydroTech on Nov 8, 2008 7:04 PM PST reply actions  

This is Longshore's fault.

It’s to offset the penalties that saved him.

ಠ_ಠ

by Berkelium97 on Nov 8, 2008 7:05 PM PST reply actions  

Where is the penalty?

by Tedfordisgod on Nov 8, 2008 7:05 PM PST reply actions  

Looks like a bad call

by BleedinBlue on Nov 8, 2008 7:05 PM PST reply actions  

shit. o and this is my 1st post. mostly cuz this is the 1st cal game i get to see ever.
still what an amazing catch!!

by lincypoo i wuv u on Nov 8, 2008 7:05 PM PST reply actions  

Pac-10 Officiating…still the gold standard.

by VandyImport on Nov 8, 2008 7:06 PM PST reply actions  

We did get saved by the calls on the INTs, but those weren’t nearly as bad of calls

by Tedfordisgod on Nov 8, 2008 7:07 PM PST up reply actions  

Those actually were good calls.

Go Bears!

by California Pete on Nov 8, 2008 7:15 PM PST up reply actions  

Yep. I’m still sick of the screen passes especially against a D like SC’s.

by The Hombre on Nov 8, 2008 7:07 PM PST reply actions  

You can’t push over our receiver.

by The Hombre on Nov 8, 2008 7:07 PM PST reply actions  

I think it is both the officiating, and the fact that USC commits a ton of penalties

by Tedfordisgod on Nov 8, 2008 7:08 PM PST reply actions  

Nice hop by Ross :D

by BleedinBlue on Nov 8, 2008 7:09 PM PST reply actions  

Ross hurdles every time he touches the ball.

by The Hombre on Nov 8, 2008 7:09 PM PST reply actions  

It’s like watching someone play madden circa ’93.

by The Hombre on Nov 8, 2008 7:09 PM PST up reply actions  

Ross again with the hurdle!

by Tedfordisgod on Nov 8, 2008 7:09 PM PST reply actions  

Ugh. Well. That’s AWESOME.

by ak_A on Nov 8, 2008 7:12 PM PST up reply actions  

Could there have been a problem with the way the receivers lined up. Or was this just a bad call?

Go Bears!

by California Pete on Nov 8, 2008 7:16 PM PST up reply actions  

Yeah, i think one of the WRs was covered up.

We’ve got these guys. I can feel it.

by The Hombre on Nov 8, 2008 7:12 PM PST up reply actions  

Well, if we can stop them here, I still think we have their defense on their heels

by Tedfordisgod on Nov 8, 2008 7:12 PM PST reply actions  

They have to tackle him to keep Sanchez out of the hospital.

by The Hombre on Nov 8, 2008 7:13 PM PST up reply actions  

speaking of phantom tds…just like 2 years ago

by kluge on Nov 8, 2008 7:13 PM PST reply actions  

wasn’t that 6 years ago

by Tedfordisgod on Nov 8, 2008 7:13 PM PST up reply actions  

The phantom TD in a USC-Cal game was in 2002 from what I recall, Carson Palmer was the QB.

by Tedfordisgod on Nov 8, 2008 7:15 PM PST up reply actions  

there was a 90+ yd td run by cal. i forget why it was call backed

by kluge on Nov 8, 2008 7:15 PM PST up reply actions  

Oh, because Lynch’s knee was down, I remember that

no, it’s just the ball was out there for the taking for a bit…

There is a difference between drops and getting rocked

by Tedfordisgod on Nov 8, 2008 7:20 PM PST up reply actions  

Yeah. That was Riley’s fault.

hard to catch when you see taylor mays comin at you out of the corner of your eye.
i’d drop that ball.

so

when does Brock Mansion come in?

by LeonPowe on Nov 8, 2008 7:21 PM PST reply actions  

Eh. I dunno. We’re taking shots downfield with Riley in. Or is it cause we’re playing from behind?

by BleedinBlue on Nov 8, 2008 7:21 PM PST up reply actions  

Riley has looked pretty good to me so far (except for the last pass)

by Tedfordisgod on Nov 8, 2008 7:21 PM PST up reply actions  

and our pass O is lookin decent, compared to earlier in the season.

Kinda like he thought about it, huh?
