small private school in san jose, harker. didn’t exist until 8 yrs ago (used to be just a middle school)
Oh Harker.
It seems like every year, they hit people up for more money. The tuition fee is insane by now.
Yea
My dad’s bosses’ kids went to Harker. I remember hearing that it cost as much as Furd does. I never went to private school in the US (I moved here in ’98).
my brother went to a private elementary for about 2 year.. I think it was Stafford?

Arizona is beating Oregon, setting things up perfectly for Stanford.
Oops.
So...
We have a chance to go 9-3 right? If we do, it’s a pretty good year.
I don't care what happens against Washington
It’s a good year now.
I don’t think anybody cares how we do from now on. We beat the FURD when they were the best they’ve been in a decade. That is a fucking WIN.
It's been a long time
since we’ve won the Big Game as a clear underdog.
I may have to research this. Or someone else can do it.
But it was a very cool win, all the more because I didn’t expect it.
We also eliminated Stanford
from a possible Rose Bowl that was looking downright plausible with Arizona leading against Oregon. That’s fun, too.
And Stanford is a legitimately good team. So rivalry aside, this is our best win.
I feel so happy
we eliminated them from a possible Rose Bowl. Suck on it. I don’t want them going there before us. Or ever actually.

okay checked back to see the outcome. no balls for any torture.
how far did they advance the ball before time ran out?
alaska A residing in northern Idaho.
Right near the goal line!
We were kneeling down around the 7. LOL. Very close.
They were driving but threw a pick (in case you didn’t know). Since they blew their TOs we kneeled the clock away.
reading the recap - good gawd, I did not need the stress but prefer the surprise of the win.
alaska A residing in northern Idaho.
Holiday Bowl anyone?
Just need – AZ over Oregon, OSU over Oregon, Cal over Washington, USC over AZ, right?
trying to figure this out
Assuming Arizona holds on right now vs Oregon, I don’t think the Civil War matters for us. It’ll be two 6-2 teams, and we lose the tie-break to both. No matter what, both will finish ahead of us.
Hmmm….that might not be right. We would end up tied with the Ducks and they beat us. But it would be a five way tie for second.

by Tedfordisgod on Nov 21, 2009 8:04 PM PST up reply actions
assuming best case scenario:
Cal over Washington (so we’re 6-3)
UCLA or Arizona over U$C. 1 more loss for $C gives them 4. Otherwise, we lose the tie-break to them.
Arizona needs to lose 1 more to end with 3 losses. We win tie-break. Ideally they’ll lose to ASU, but win tonight vs Oregon.
No matter what, Oregon and OSU finish ahead of us.
Oregon finishes 6-3 at worse, and beat us.
OSU finishes 6-3 at worse, and also beat us.
So… 3rd place? At best?
Holiday Bowl can't happen
The Sun Bowl is the “best” we can do, although I’m sure many Cal fans would prefer Vegas.
Very far
It was in the teens, I think. The game-clinching interception was a horrible, hurried pass picked off just shy of the end zone.
I'm out
Anyone want to post the stats of this game in a post??? Do the honors. hahah. We dominated.

A very good Big Game
It’s certainly the best Big Game I didn’t attend since arriving in California in 1978.
There have been more fantastic finishes (1982). There have been bigger upsets (1986). There has been more anguish (1990).
But this was a nice combination – a come-from-behind win against a red-hot team with Rose Bowl implications (at least at the time of the game). You had a legit Heisman Trophy candidate, who played well as usual, being outrun by our backup running back. You had our often-embattled quarterback performing well and with increasing confidence as the game progressed. You had receivers making plays everywhere. You had us dominating the clock and controlling the pace of the game. But you Stanford, still in it, right until the very end.
I didn’t expect this, and feared the worst after Stanford went up 14-3. So there you go. It’s the first Big Game I missed that I really wished I hadn’t.
