but in a good way.

Either IRL or via Facebook or something.

I feel left out :(

1. South Florida 24 UCF 24, USF driving with under 40 seconds left

What a surprise.

Arkansas St. 83
Texas Southern 10

Anyone know where I can watch that? Looking at the box score and seeing Pritchard’s 5 for 5 so far is kind of unsettling…

The chron article has a shitload of photos on Cal almost finished clearing the trees:

Arborists nearly finished clearing an embattled UC Berkeley grove today, leaving a stripped, lone redwood occupied by four protesters

The drone of chainsaws and chippers drowned out the howls of protesters as arborists removed 35 of 42 redwoods, laurels and other trees from the site in preparation to build a $124-million athletic training center. The university expects to remove the remaining trees tomorrow,with the exception of the occupied redwood.

Twenty-eight trees around the perimeter will remain, and a mature redwood will be transplanted.

UC police continued today to negotiate with the tree-sitters on ending their 21-month-old protest. The university has no immediate plans to forcibly extract the protesters, who are marooned on a few branches about 50 feet up.

And, of course, the classic:

who is this Forcier? (I don’t know anything about Furd football, apparently.)

I feel sad that Cougar week is already over. And to think about all the fun games we played!

I’ve been watching the ASU game for 20 minutes and it’s starting to burn when I pee. Strange…

If someone told you that Riley went 6/14 for 50 yds against WSU would you believe that the final score was 66-3? Seriously, I don’t think I’ve ever witnessed a Cal game like this one. The only game that comes to mind is when we beat UOP 80-something to nothing the year before they eliminated their football program.

Longshore got a nice if nervous ovation at LaVals. And a few more after he completed some nice looking passes.

Cal Big Wins

1991: 86-24 over Pacific.
1993: 58-0 over Temple.
2002: 70-22 over Baylor.

1. i think it’s not a good thing that maryland lost today. it might make lull us into false security and/or make maryland come out blazing.

1. between ASU and the furd, i’m not sure which i want to lose more. i mean, rudy c, is an *sshole. erickson’s a douche.

your take?

Carpenter is having a great game so far (3:00 left in the third), 21-28, 300yds, 2TD, 1 INT
ASU’s rushing game is pretty much nonexistant (59 yards).

I hope Stanford can make a 4th quarter comeback.

People who are less drunk should be drinking, not reading and typing!
Women’s volleyball beat UC Riverside, 3 games to none! Go Bears!

That was quite the stunning game. I can’t recall a Tedford team ever scoring that many points, truly fantastic. Obviously, I was very pleased with the running game. We’re kinda like USC light because we have what appears to be three extremely solid running backs. The Montgomery transfer is starting to make sense. He wanted much more playing time than Tedford could give him. Poor guy has to play for WSU now, lol.

Kevin looked a little jumpy but he did take a few big hits, two of which were cheap. All in all I think he did what he needed to do for his team. I was obvious the running game was great, so he didn’t force anything. By doing so he didn’t throw ANY interceptions. That’s a good thing.

Glad to see Nate get a few reps and look decent. Mansion looks like a monster out there. That’s one big Texan. On D Syd was amazing.

My only big complaint of the day has nothing to do with the team. Damn, those announcers were pretty bad. They rarely told you who made tackles, what some of the penalties were, who committed the penalties. I mean it was just really basic stuff that they kept leaving out. The one guy who played at WSU was so bad I had to mute it a few times. It seemed that at times he wasn’t speaking into his mic. Granted it was his first time in the booth, but damn. Pretty annoying really… Anyone else annoyed by them?

GREAT JOB BEARS!

I’d like to echo the sentiments of Olsonist and CaliSeth. As I posted a few comments above, there hasn’t been a Cal win like this over a decent opponent in recent history. Washington St. is in for a rough year, but they’re not horrible like a Baylor, Temple or Pacific. I watched their game against Oklahoma St. and their defense is actually pretty decent.

This is a new era of Cal football. We’ve always been a program that has attracted top athletes that could have gone to USC, but we never have a situation like the one we have now. Syd Thompson is probably the best corner we’ve had since Delta O’Neill. Best and Vereen look like they could both break Marshawn’s records if they didn’t have to compete with each other. The crazy thing is that we have them all playing together on the same team. And then there’s Riley.

The realist in me says that this team loses 2 very close games and blows out a Big 12 team in the Holiday Bowl. However, I don’t think anyone, including Tedford, knows what this team is capable of. That’s really exciting.

I mean the MSU game or the Tennessee game or hell even the USC game last year there was some flow in which our offense rolled along. This game seemed like a hodgepodge of plays where only our D, RBs and O-line showed up. Riley looked like he was asleep.

When the torrent pops up somewhere on the internet, somebody post the link!

After he took a few late hits he seemed a little dazed. Hope he is ok.

The last time I saw the Bears put up nearly this many points was the ’02 opener against Baylor.

Don’t get me wrong though, it’s always nice to see me favorite team run wild once in a while, but Wazzu’s odd mistakes mixed with our rather fired-up offense made the game look really silly (as in totally unbalanced) in the second half.

were clueless. they were talking for 2 or 3 minutes about how ridiculous it was that Tedford was bringing Mansion in and ruining his redshirt eligibility, and about how easily he could get injured and make it look like a really huge mistake.

somebody finally informed them that, as every Cal fan knows, Mansion redshirted last year.

idiots.
