“And then the ball goes forward and wait, now WSU has it, what’s this a Cal touchdown!” ~TwistNHook
Cal-Wazzu Audio: Cal Commercial Radio: KGO 810 AM (San Francisco), (Here's the link to that stream; hopefully it should work for the game.) KGIL 1260 AM (Los Angeles), XSURF 540 AM (San Diego), KESP 970 AM (Modesto), KTKZ 1380 AM (Sacramento). Cal Student Radio: KALX 90.7 FM (Berkeley) - Dan Fiedler, Danny Freisinger, Beni Shpringer (For those who don't want Starkey, this should hopefully work too--HT BeastMode!). Sirius XM Satellite Radio: Cal fans can listen to the ISP Sports/Cal Radio Network broadcast feed on Sirius XM Satellite Radio on channels 212 (Sirius) and 195 (XM).
Obviously, there is no TV for this game. So it'll probably be harder for everyone to stick with us in the open threads going up later. While we hope most of you will tune in, no one's going to hold it against you if your eyes are perusing other games on your boob tube (except Hydro. He'll administer headlocks.). TVs are so shiny, ya know?
This is the thread for early discussion of the rest of the games, including Oregon-Washington. Cal-Wazzu will kickoff after the Ducks and Huskies tango, so make sure to plug your headphones into your radio/XM/Internet stream/seismograph and prepare for the Starkey. First quarter game thread should go up about an hour before kickoff.
Morning games
UConn at West Virginia, 9 AM PST/noon EST, ESPNU: RIP Jasper Howard.
Minnesota at Ohio State, 9 AM PST/noon EST, ESPN HD: Can Eric Decker be a one man army more powerful than the Sweatervest?
Illinois at Purdue, 9 AM PST/noon EST, ESPN2 HD: Sign #13284 that the Pac-10 television deals are crap.
Arkansas at Ole Miss, 9 AM PST/noon EST, SEC Network/CSN California/ESPN360.com: GIGGITY goes up against his old team. This should be a relatively peaceful Southern affair, like the Siege at Atlanta.
Iowa State at Nebraska, 9:30 AM PST/12:30 PM EST, FSN HD/CSN Bay Area: It wouldn't be a stretch to say the Cyclones have had the better season.
Oklahoma State at Baylor, 9:30 AM PST/12:30 PM EST, Versus HD: IT'S A TRAP!
Afternoon games (put the headphones on while watching Starkey)
Oregon at Washington, 12:30 PM PST/3:30 PM EST, ABC on the West Coast, ESPN360 everywhere else): This would be a classic trap game for these Ducks if these two teams and fanbases didn't despise the living hell out of each other. The Ducks have won the last five games in this series by 34, 21, 20, 24, and 25.
Penn State at Michigan, 12:30 PM PST/3:30 PM EST, ESPN HD (on the West Coast), ABC & ESPN360 in other areas: Do not want two teams in Big Ten in BCS again. Go Blue!
Clemson at Miami, Oklahoma at Kansas, 12:30 PM PST/3:30 PM EST, ESPN360: Very quietly, Miami lurks in the background in the BCS title picture, although Va Tech folding in Atlanta last week hurt them. Oklahoma-Kansas contains two teams who would like to press the 'reset' button on their season.
Tennessee at Alabama, 12:30 PM PST/3:30 PM EST, CBS HD: The Tide have a ball-hawking, pick-happy defense, and in steps Jonathan Crompton. Magical.
Boston College at Notre Dame, 12:30 PM PST/3:30 PM EST, NBC HD: CATHOLIC FIGHT! Plus it gives me a chance to use this picture again.

I honestly cant remember the last time a game went untelevised that wasn’t the 2006 Wazzu game. Where we all trudged to Memorial to watch it on the big screen. That was sorta cool in its own way, although it was near impossible to see if a catch had been made.

Of course, I propose that instead of TWSS you use TWMBMSS: That’s What My Boy Scout Master Said.

is it rong that I like Notre Dame Stadium? I love the simple end zone “backslash” design. No signage anywhere. Does the 50 even have the team mascot logo? I love it. I’d love to see a Cal-Notre Dame OOC game.

Back when I was living in Chicago my Dad really wanted me to go to Notre Dame, at the time I thought it would be cool. Looking back in retrospect, it stands for so much I am opposed to now. Though, I do like their field.

Well, I figure nows a good time to acknowledge our play-by-play man. Here’s an interesting piece:
http://blogs.sfweekly.com/thesnitch/2008/12/farewell_joe_starkey_the_world.php
When I began calling U.C. Berkeley games at KALX radio in 1994, the first thing the older broadcasters told me to do was listen to Starkey – and don’t do anything he did. Announce the score every two minutes? Starkey could go whole quarters without informing you who was playing, let alone who was winning. Name the formations, who was going in motion, whether the defense was man or zone? That’s standard stuff, but not for Starkey. In fact, he also eschewed the practice of noting where on the field a pass was tossed or even how long it was — in short, describing a visual medium for an oral device such as radio. Nope, none of that.After a lifetime of listening to Starkey broadcasting Cal and 49ers games, I can only recall two of his calls by heart: The Play and Steve Young finding Terrell Owens between a pair of Green Bay defenders as the clock ran down in the 1999 Wild Card game. (I also recall him announcing the winning overtime field goal in Cal’s 34-31 victory over USC in 2003, but I honestly don’t recall what he said as I was too busy shouting and swerving onto the median on I-580). Starkey’s Tourette-like bursts of verbiage were uniquely well-suited for once-in-a-lifetime plays such as this where it didn’t really matter what was happening – you just needed to know it was something fantastic.
Starkey will keep calling Cal games, but after this year he’s done with the Niners. And whoever his replacement is, it’ll likely be a step down, oddly enough. These days announcers seem to all come out of the same pod: Same Rod Balagojevich hair, same mellifluous voice, same offend-no-one line of humor. In other words, Joe Buck. Starkey may have been flawed, but he was an individual. And, above all, when it comes down to the elemental question of “who will be most entertaining” – well, it’s him.
Joe Starkey’s surprisingly good at not getting his picture taken. Srsly. Also, did you know he had a very respectable NHL career with the Penguins?

Might not have made a difference. My father had a stroke 3 years ago, recovered pretty fully, but there’s still enough residual muscle damage (plus minor aphasia) that he’s never going to get back to rapid-fire speech.

And I thought Cal’s offense was bad against Oregon and USC. Their nothing compared to the offenses for Ohio State and Minnesota.

I am dead.
My wife would have had me buried but I am still not done defecating from the Olestra.
To avoid cross-contamination, I will be away from the board and in a secure room watching Alabama-UT, where I will be doing deals with God and selling my soul to the dark lord Saban, because if Sadaam Hussein were playing Tennessee, I would be down there on the sideline waving an Iraqi flag and screaming “SHOVEL IRAQ SHOVEL!!”
(I come from a split family – fathers side Bama, mother’s side UT. It’s rough being mixed at holiday season.)

Theoretically
We could be ranked in the BCS next week since we are 27th in the full BCS standings right now.

Kansas to Oklahoma..
AND UCONN JUST SCORED!!!!!!!!!!!! WVU IS AHEAD OF US!!!!!!!!!!

Not to mention….some of the two loss teams ranked ahead of us in the human polls are pretty suspect – Kansas (losers to Colorado, beaters of no one), three-loss Oklahoma, 4-2 Ole Miss, etc. Assuming Oregon and USC keep winning, we should be justifiably pretty high up in the rankings pretty soon despite the crappiness of our performances in those two games.
by Tedfordisgod on Oct 24, 2009 12:25 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
for sure.
it’d be cool to be ranked after today, but if not, i’m sure we will be if we beat ASU too (assuming Wazzu win)

Fortunately/unfortunately, where we are ranked is pretty irrelevant at this point. I am only interested at this point because it looks like we may end up with a pretty unique resume – potentially 10 dominant wins, and 2 awful awful losses. Not sure the last team that would have been similar (Maybe like Texas a few years back when they were losing. Maybe 2003 Texas – 10 point loss to Arkansas, and a 65-13 loss to Oklahoma. And that team was robbed, ROBBED, of a BCS slot according to Texas fans. They were ranked No.5 (!!!) heading into the bowl game (lost to WSU – man, WSU used to be good – in the Holiday bowl).
If Cal should end up 10-2, Cal fans need to be as delusional as Texas fans are.

Anyone watching the ISU-Nebraska game? 5 Nebraska fumbles, at least 2 in the red zone.

watching UConn-WVU because it’s close… and we have a great chance of being ranked in the BCS if WVU loses

Oregon passes (one imcomplete, one for loss) and then decides to run on 3rd and 18. FAIL.
