We just need one more score

One touchdown should be enough; the defense won’t give up 14 points.

by BearsNecessity on Dec 27, 2008 7:38 PM PST reply actions  

We need a score or big shift in field position on defense or special teams. The offense is on the field for a couple of seconds then the D is back out there… They’re going to get tired out. We need a game changer on D like WW interception.

by danzig on Dec 27, 2008 7:39 PM PST up reply actions  

Offense was just on the field for five minutes.

by BearsNecessity on Dec 27, 2008 7:40 PM PST up reply actions  

I know.. but I meant for the the majority of the game. You know what I meant. I want to avoid an Arizona.

by danzig on Dec 27, 2008 7:41 PM PST up reply actions  

That Arizona game was a black hole.

by BearsNecessity on Dec 27, 2008 7:42 PM PST up reply actions  

Let's go Bears!

4th quarter should (hopefully) be ours!

Ah man

There was the big play right there.

Ahhhhh, this is the life of a Cal fan!

by BleedinBlue on Dec 27, 2008 7:44 PM PST reply actions  

I dunno. This game is pretty fun.

by BearsNecessity on Dec 27, 2008 7:44 PM PST up reply actions  

it’s not a cal game unless you’re sweating bullets!

i'm here to clean your pool but i don't have a pool *bowchica bowow*

We need to give our D a rest. SOON.

by danzig on Dec 27, 2008 7:48 PM PST reply actions  

Thankyou for putting Syd on Byrd… Conte was getting used.

by danzig on Dec 27, 2008 7:51 PM PST reply actions  

YES! Woo!!

Holding them to a field goal!!

by tjalorak on Dec 27, 2008 7:51 PM PST reply actions  

everyone is slipping. move the game to memorial! ;p

by turkey on Dec 27, 2008 7:51 PM PST reply actions  

Memorial or the Farm are probably the best place for a bowl game (ok, once Memorial upgrades from porta-potties). It seems the turf for baseball players in the summer isn’t so much for football players in the winter.

by turkey on Dec 27, 2008 7:56 PM PST up reply actions  

Thank you red zone D

by BleedinBlue on Dec 27, 2008 7:52 PM PST reply actions  

It’ll be interesting how much we put this ball in Best’s hands. Miami’s D knows we’re going to try to get the ball to him.

by BearsNecessity on Dec 27, 2008 7:54 PM PST reply actions  

wow, commercial:kickoff:commerical. It’s like watching the NFL!

by turkey on Dec 27, 2008 7:55 PM PST reply actions  

It's amazing.

Everyone knows we’re getting it to Best and he’s still getting good yardage.

by tjalorak on Dec 27, 2008 7:58 PM PST reply actions  

whoa, that elbow?

by ak_A on Dec 27, 2008 7:58 PM PST reply actions  

if jahvid is hurt, then this game is over

i'm here to clean your pool but i don't have a pool *bowchica bowow*

by ch0ster on Dec 27, 2008 7:58 PM PST reply actions  

Vereen should be a capable replacement.

by BleedinBlue on Dec 27, 2008 8:00 PM PST up reply actions  

or The California Golden Jahvids

by GoldenBear421 on Dec 27, 2008 7:58 PM PST reply actions  

Looks like right hand?

by turkey on Dec 27, 2008 7:59 PM PST reply actions  

Yeah, wasn’t really grabbing at the elbow. Smashed hand?

by BleedinBlue on Dec 27, 2008 8:00 PM PST up reply actions  

Wow, Vereen

Nice recovery from the fumble. Run blocking picking up on the outside.

by BearsNecessity on Dec 27, 2008 8:00 PM PST reply actions  

If Miami thinks they’re safe with Vereen in, they’ll be in for a surprise.

by BleedinBlue on Dec 27, 2008 8:01 PM PST reply actions  

Third down coming up.

Let’s keep this drive going!!

by tjalorak on Dec 27, 2008 8:02 PM PST reply actions  

so i guess nate's not going to throw another ball this game?

i'm here to clean your pool but i don't have a pool *bowchica bowow*

by ch0ster on Dec 27, 2008 8:02 PM PST reply actions  

I don’t blame coach. I thought he was building some momentum, but I wouldn’t put this game in Nate’s hands.

by danzig on Dec 27, 2008 8:03 PM PST up reply actions

Time for a big play on D... INT, FUMBLE for TD

… This game is mirroring ASU in terms of how we feel.

by danzig on Dec 27, 2008 8:05 PM PST reply actions  

BIG 3rd down

pain train!! that was a fumble, though

by turkey on Dec 27, 2008 8:09 PM PST reply actions  

His thumb is moving!!!

I think he hyper extended it a tad…Jahvid might be ok.

by danzig on Dec 27, 2008 8:09 PM PST reply actions  

these aren’t pac 10 officials, right, they won’t mess it up haha

by turkey on Dec 27, 2008 8:10 PM PST reply actions  

LOL

“I plan on being closer to you tomorrow.”

I knew the Pain Train would be a comedy fest.

by BearsNecessity on Dec 27, 2008 8:10 PM PST reply actions  

Just run the clock. It’s going to go a minute and a half.

by BearsNecessity on Dec 27, 2008 8:12 PM PST up reply actions  

Oh.. wasn’t watching the clock. I thought there was 3mins still.

by danzig on Dec 27, 2008 8:13 PM PST up reply actions  

i don’ t trust him nwo…

by turkey on Dec 27, 2008 8:12 PM PST up reply actions  

oh, ok. nevermind. although i don’t think that’s who he was throwing to…

by turkey on Dec 27, 2008 8:12 PM PST up reply actions  

HAHA YES that was probalby an unintentional td but we'll take it!

I liked Brock’s overthrow of Smith against UW better

by turkey on Dec 27, 2008 8:13 PM PST up reply actions  

Now that one really wasn’t meant for Miller.

by danzig on Dec 27, 2008 8:14 PM PST up reply actions  

And Smith got some air going for it, I got a sweet pic of it.

by turkey on Dec 27, 2008 8:15 PM PST up reply actions  

i didn't even know miller was getting PT

i'm here to clean your pool but i don't have a pool *bowchica bowow*

by ch0ster on Dec 27, 2008 8:13 PM PST reply actions  

He gets a few plays a game. That was nice timing there

by turkey on Dec 27, 2008 8:14 PM PST up reply actions  

I’m not sure. It could go either way.

But hey, they can’t say Nate choked the game anymore.

by BearsNecessity on Dec 27, 2008 8:14 PM PST reply actions  

we'll see.

if they are deep, they might not really have that option.

they might have to throw at syd, which has not been good for them this eve.

Go Bears Go

I’m saying that one was for Miller… not Morrah… he was double covered just a split second before that

by danzig on Dec 27, 2008 8:17 PM PST reply actions  

Man. Lots of time off the clock.

by BearsNecessity on Dec 27, 2008 8:19 PM PST reply actions  

terrible time management by miami

Rookie quarterback mistakes.

Harris is showing his greenness.

by BearsNecessity on Dec 27, 2008 8:19 PM PST reply actions  

good, keep him inbounds

he’s not taking care of the clock

by Tizoc on Dec 27, 2008 8:19 PM PST reply actions  

wow, all that for an incomplete

by turkey on Dec 27, 2008 8:20 PM PST reply actions  

Harris needs a Riley moment!

by BleedinBlue on Dec 27, 2008 8:20 PM PST reply actions  

Wow. And now Miami calls a time out

After that incomplete even stops the clock.

by tjalorak on Dec 27, 2008 8:20 PM PST reply actions  

That’s the frosh at qb hurting them.

by turkey on Dec 27, 2008 8:20 PM PST reply actions  

F*** 2nd/3rd round...

Kiper has him as 1st round and a host of others have him in the teens..

by danzig on Dec 27, 2008 8:21 PM PST reply actions  

BTW

Congrats to Nate. He didn’t play very well but at the end of the game. he got that touch down.

Congrats and thanks for being a Bear!

by tjalorak on Dec 27, 2008 8:21 PM PST reply actions  

i agree. he stuck through all of it, the death of his father, the booing of the fans, the injuries, and self-doubt

for a while, he was our best and only option at qb. can’t say he didn’t deserve all of the criticism, but he stuck through all of the thickness.

pain train in coverage!

I mean, holy cow, he was jumping around even!

by BleedinBlue on Dec 27, 2008 8:25 PM PST up reply actions  

wow.. you're right

I think he’s thinking… how the FUCK did we win that thing? We played like shit on offense.

Wow, Pain Train saves the day!!

Thanks to the seniors for their play over the years! Without them, watching Cal football probably would’ve killed me!

God bless the Pain Train!!! I wish him all the best!

Love those boys! Gettin the job done! Great Senior class

Go Bears.

phew.

Happy new year everyone.

Go Bears Go

by Rocksanddirt on Dec 27, 2008 8:26 PM PST reply actions  

This was a nice way to end the season

Not exactly a dominant victory by any stretch of the imagination but we won it the way we did our other victories this season… defense and turnovers.

All the best to our seniors and let’s hope that our offense next season starts to resemble the offenses we’ve been used to seeing!

by Mister Pie on Dec 27, 2008 8:28 PM PST reply actions  

PAIN TRAIN was my MVP

Jahvid had an off day… 186 yards, 9.3 yards/carry and only 2 TDs… wow, something is definitely wrong… is he injured or something?

by danzig on Dec 27, 2008 8:28 PM PST reply actions  

sigh

Well, I feel a lot better. Now we’ve gotta wait another ~9 months for more Cal football though :(

by BleedinBlue on Dec 27, 2008 8:28 PM PST reply actions  

But LOI day, then spring ball, then summer drills, then fall ball!!!!

Ok, actually it’s NHL time for me. Go Sharks!

by turkey on Dec 27, 2008 8:29 PM PST up reply actions  

I’m definitely going to be scouring CGB, BearTalk, and all the other Cal blogs for Cal football info in the mean time. Definitely need it to take my mind off of work and school!

by BleedinBlue on Dec 27, 2008 8:33 PM PST up reply actions  

Shannon was spot on...

He said they have to stop Follet and the LBs and stop Best to win this game. They didn’t…. they lost.

by danzig on Dec 27, 2008 8:30 PM PST reply actions  

No kidding

Miami’s time management at the end of the game was absolutely bizarre.

by Mister Pie on Dec 27, 2008 8:34 PM PST up reply actions  

I guess it's time for BASKETBALL

Every home game will be live streamed this year… Plus some Pac10 matchups on FSN/ESPN. Hope to see you all there.

I promised myself to watch Women’s BB this year too. I’m really going to try… Walker… Grey-Law… they’re pretty good.

by danzig on Dec 27, 2008 8:39 PM PST reply actions  

I’ll post it before the games…. our friends PRD74, GoldenBearSports and our athletic department will pick up the different games…. but I believe 100% of our home games will be covered and all our games with ASU, UCLA and even USC.

by danzig on Dec 27, 2008 8:51 PM PST up reply actions  

Nice! I’ll be keeping an eye out, then.

by BleedinBlue on Dec 27, 2008 9:04 PM PST up reply actions  

FOR ALL OF YOU:

HE WAS DEFINITELY THROWING IT TO MILLER. WE’VE RAN THAT PLAY BEFORE IN THE WASHINGTON GAME. IT WAS A PERFECT PASS TO MILLER. DON’T TAKE IT AWAY FROM HIM. NASTY NATE DELIVERED WHEN IT COUNTED. I SAW MILLER OPEN IN THE BACK TOO, NATE!

You ain't got it like Marshawn got it
