Ragnarok sits down in the Bruins Nation podcast to talk Cal-UCLA
At about the 12:31 mark, rags comes in, starts talking about Cal. He briefly goes over the USC and Oregon games, talks about Kevin Riley, Jahvid Best's running back style, Steve Marshall, the 3-4 defensive scheme, the pass coverage, special teams, etc.
Also, lots of great insight from ryebreadraz and ucla13_usc9, their two hosts, about what they think about Cal's offense and defense as well as UCLA's strengths and weaknesses. I highly recommend listening to all of it.

I listened to it
Ragnarok sounded baked! It’s a sad day when the Nor Cal crew out bakes the peeps from So Cal. BTW, got any of that Humboldt green?
Troy will fall...AGAIN!
man, i DO sound baked. man, i don’t know how my wife puts up with it!
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!
“So there’s like…Jahvid Best, man, and like, he’s a running back mannn. And uh…wait….what? I like….lost my train of thought mannnn.”

Oh man, love the ucla13_usc9 handle! Way to beat your rival once this decade! Nice work UCLA!
As for BN, still meh.
It'll be just you, me, and Peter Nincompoop.
Isn’t that the exact same amount of times we’ve beaten USC this year?
Unless you count Phantom Touchdown game. Which I wish I could!

Our primary rival is Stanfurd, and even if they’re substantially worse, that’s our rival and we own them. Also, they continue to cute that game as if that puts them on par with USC. They are not and never will be.
It'll be just you, me, and Peter Nincompoop.
By cute I totally meant count and/or consider. I have no idea how cute was typed. Freudian.
It'll be just you, me, and Peter Nincompoop.
Probably mistyped “cite.”

And if our primary rival went on a mind-numbingly historic rampage through the college football ranks, we’d prolly only win once a decade or two.

Luckily, our rival is Stanfurd, so we never have to face such a horrific turn of events.
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!
So, basically, if I understand you correctly, UCLA rejecting me was actually the greatest thing to ever happen to me??

Up until the time when you argued to have your own client, a grandmother in her 90’s, evicted against her wishes, and succeeded, yes.
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!
I look forward to taking away her Constitutional rights soon.

Hey, but shouldn’t we be debating firing Tedford because WE can’t overtake that team on a mind-numbingly historic rampage through the college football ranks?
It'll be just you, me, and Peter Nincompoop.

Uhhhhhhhh.
All-Time Series Stanford: 55-45-11
They’ve been substantially worse recently, but they aren’t so bad that Big Game’s an assured win for us.

thanks
you should make your handle… wait… when did cal last beat sc?
No I’m just kidding, but seriously why can’t I respect a good past time?
There's no one in the world that wants to beat UCLA more than _______.
Perhaps you didn’t read my post, I said rival. Our rival is Stanfurd, yours is USC.
I have no problem with pastimes or past times. But come on, this has been the lamest build up to a Cal-UCLA game ever.
It'll be just you, me, and Peter Nincompoop.
When was the last one?
I don’t remember the last time that UCLA and Cal have had anything on the line
There's no one in the world that wants to beat UCLA more than _______.
2005, weren't we both undefeated?

Well, I don’t mean important game, though every game between these two schools should be more important as the two premier UC’s. Moreso the lack of smack talk and whatnot. Tame perhaps moreso than lame.
It'll be just you, me, and Peter Nincompoop.
Prolly because we’re coming off of 2 HUYUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE ego-destroying losses. So,w e’re not exactly whipping out the Karl Dorrell mustache jokes ever so quick, yknow?

give me some
karl dorrell is and will always be my least favorite coach in the history of college football… well aside from petey

Well, at least he never went 4-8, right? I know they were “his” guys, still.
It'll be just you, me, and Peter Nincompoop.

Also, didn’t realize that was UCLA’s worst scoring differential since 1943. Eek!
It'll be just you, me, and Peter Nincompoop.
Anytime you set a record for ‘worst ____ since the war year, when most of the able-bodied men were in Europe or in the South Pacific’, you’ve accomplished something. And not something good. I believe the Cleveland Indians used a one-armed outfielder during the war years.
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!
wow
my fwend, if you are spitting on neuheisel, then you need to really go back and look at the recruiting classes that preceded Dorrell and how bienemy took that team over until he figured out that dorrell was an idiot

Hey man, good to see you, great work
Cal fans have had a rough rough three weeks. We’ve had to deal with a lot of different manifestations of anger from our commenters, so apologies for the rough welcome. We should change our blog name to Seven Stages of Grief.

I had to leave the 2005 UCLA/Cal game
to head down to my uncle’s place in Newport Beach for a dinner with them and my dad, who was in town from Atlanta. I was so pissed I had to leave that game.
Also, true story: a very drunk UCLA girl who looked no older than 17 comes rambling/stumbling up the stairs right before the game in our section (which was Section 2 at the time), and begins to turn in to an aisle where a very polite older gentleman and his wife are sitting down in their monogrammed Cal sweaters and what not, waiting for the game start.
This drunk Asian girl proceeds to throw up on both of the old people as she’s walking through the aisle, cries, and then runs away. The two older Cal fans sat there, laughed, and said “Oh, it’s OK…it’s just part of the game!” NICEST. PEOPLE. EVER.
I always explain that story with the concept of “Well, they had to survive Holmoe. Getting thrown up on was the least of their painful experiences watching Cal football.”
Part of the game!?
WTF!? What game. And that sucks.

This is WAY too nice, C’MON man! Oh, poor BN commenters, can’t take a little ribbing. For the record, the many commenters hear that hold disdain for BN has nothing to do with Cal’s last two games.
I take all of this back if Cal loses than I am going to go straight to the fetal position.
It'll be just you, me, and Peter Nincompoop.
I've heard worse
Tennessee was pretty bad. At least you aren’t going for predictions right now

I predict SOMEBODY will be in the fetal position before, during, and slash or after saturday’s game.
