Cal v. Oregon Postgame Reaction

PrintY'know the Cal team that swept the Arizona schools at home, then beat the Cougars in Pullman and outlasted the Huskies in Seattle? What happened to that team? I think I saw them play at Maples last week, falling just short, but I don't know where they've been this week; certainly not at Haas.
So, Cal beat Oregon, who is still winless in conference play, but they sure didn't look great doing it. Yeah, the game wasn't *quite* as close as the score indicated because Jamal Boykin couldn't hit free throws down the stretch, while Oregon's Tajuan Porter kept jacking up desperation threes and making them, but it was a sloppy, uneven effort from the Bears, and if they play like this in LA next weekend, they don't have a prayer of pulling an upset (Would a win at the Galen Center be an upset? At this point, I'd have to think so).
The Bears still do a lot of things right, and I don't want to take away from some great individual efforts out there today. But Oregon, while talented, is still very young and very green, and they made enough mistakes out there that the Bears are at least capable of beating them by at least 20. Being back in the winning column is nice, but the schedule says the Bears visit Pauley Pavilion 5 days from now, and right now, I'm worried.
I'll have more complete thoughts on this game tomorrow, and TwistNHook should have a photo post or two to start next week off right. 'Till then, this is your postgame discussion thread.

well, i don’t think UCLA or USC will let us run so free inside the arc. cal shot 3-8 from three today. only 8 attempts is a conference-season low, and might be a season-low (i haven’t checked yet).
but year, they shot the ball pretty well. i’m more concerned by the stupid turnovers and lazy defensive lapses.
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!
Not Worried
This team has no problems showing up for big games. They’ll be ready for UCLA and hopefully will sneak out of SoCal with at least one victory.
I'm hoping Cal turns out to be the type of team that plays up to the good teams and down to the bad
At the very least, UCLA and USC aren’t the type of teams to run away with a game, so we should always have a chance if we play halfway decent
Yeff Farudo has some updates on the health of Kamp and Randle. Both were experiencing some pain and were a bit sore, but should be improving through the week.
The Beavs are really impressive right now. Up 9 with just under 10min to go. What a week for Robinson if he manages to pull off this win. Two quality wins and a visit to DC to see his brother-in-law’s inauguration. It can’t get much better than that.
"After review, it has been determined that the previous play was not reviewable"
The Pac-10: where quality officiating happens.
FURD IS JUST GETTING BLOWN OUT. I LOVE IT.
OREGON STATE ATHLETICS: The rest of the Pac-10 just says ‘WTF?’

I feel so much better about Cal losing
especially because OSU looked…good. It wasn’t like furd played crappy or something. OSU just looked better. Hopefully they keep pulling upsets…but not next time we play them.
Im depressed than the AtQ open thread got like 4x as many comments as ours. Then again, that is perhaps because many of the potential commentors (like Rags and myself) were at the game.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHHA
You only beat us by 7!! 7?!?!?! YOU SUCK!
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
Yes, how odd that we beat you by more in football than basketball. You normally wouldn’t expect that. Now, if we beat you by even more in baseball, then that will be even weirder!
I guess when Cal beats Oregon in so many different spots, it creates these weird situations like that. How interesting!

wait, when was the last time when you went to a Rose Bowl?

In CGBeality, losing a Holiday Bowl embarrassingly to Texas Tech is like winning the Rose Bowl!

Chatted with Girlfriend Of Takimoto today. A)she needs a better name on this blog and B)she was back with the band. Band nerds>dance girls. I KNEW IT!
TYRANNICAL KING OF UC EUGENE! BRING ME THE HEAD OF SEATTLE QUACKER!

she has more fun in the band cuz she can yell obscenities and she doesn’t have to smile the whole time. incidentally, this winning monopoly that Cal has on Oregon is losing me lots of bets.
and yes, as fun as Girlfriend of Takimoto is, it doesn’t really roll off the tongue.

Oddly enough when I was in band, I smiled the entire time AND yelled obscenities. So, you CAN have both, people!
Im hesitant to use real name, for obvious reasons. If she gets a handle somewhere, we could use that.

hey i know all about it. I told Jayne Appel that even though she didn’t go Washington she was a little Husky at the women’s game on Thursday. I think band kids have the best insults because we’re more creative than simply yelling Fuck You!
I’ll make her get a handle. I’m sure she can troll with the best of them.

Wow! What a zinger! “Even though you don’t go to Washington, you were a little husky!” Unbelievable! Why don’t I ever think of things like that??? Who writes your material? I need to hire them to do the DBDs around here.

Im a DBD man, not a WBD. Nothing is stopping you from doing a WBD. Moreover, I have a great DBD planned for tomorrow, so lets all calm down.

I’ll do a DBD after National LOI day.

What is that date again? BTW, we were thinking of putting up an open thread for Kennard on Tuesday morning. Thoughts?

so I’m not sure how many of us will be available for posting. But, I do need these to be shooped:

Actually, don't do this.
And Twist: it would be a very bad idea to make the open thread ::cough:: if you catch my drift.

Bad idea to do the open thread in general or if that photo is in there?
