112th Big Game Post-Game Overflow Thread

PrintDon't forget to fill in your Report Cards. I wanted to put up a new thread quickly, because that other post-game thread was getting incredibly long. In my Inside The Numbers preview, I said that I felt Cal had to do 3 things to beat Stanford:
1. Minimize any special teams nightmares. Cal's special teams have been poor at times and Stanford can take advantage of special teams mistakes.
2. Stop Gerhart. Easier said than done, but Cal has had success stopping the run this season. Of course, we haven't quite faced a RB with the power of a Gerhart. Syd'Quan will be much needed in the run D here.
3. Control the game with our offense. In the 3 games that we lost, our offense sputtered. Whether it was a lack of holes for the RBs or Riley not being in sync with the WRs, we had a lot of quick drives that resulted in no points. This put the D back on the field, tired and weary. They are great players, but can only do so much. Especially considering that even if they manage to slow or stop Gerhart, they still have Luck to concern themselves with. I felt that the D played fairly well against OSU and USC, but wasn't helped by the O at all. Cal can't put the D in that position if we are going to win against Stanford. We need to control the clock and long, methodical drives between Vereen will hopefully help.
Regarding #1, they definitely had some special teams nightmares. We gave them a few short fields, including one really bad drive where they started at Cal's like 25. Of course, they went -1 yards and then missed a field goal. Although there were no run backs, it was still poor.
Regarding #2, stop was not the operative word. Gerhart ran 20 times for 139 yards. And 4 TDs! An average of 6.8 yards. All mind-blowing numbers. However, if you take away that first 61 yard TD run, it is 19 attempts for 78 yards. Still, an average of 4 and a very good day, but not the killer day that Stanford needed. Cal wasn't able to stop Gerhart, but they were able to slow him for most of the evening.
Regarding #3, Cal did it perfectly. We had gobs and gobs of yards, even if they didn't always turn into points. It didn't help that we had terrible field position often. But Cal really was able to control the game with long drives, especially with the running game. Our OLine really did a great number out there. This was, IMHO, the key to the game. Kept the D fresh and everything. So, continue discussing the game in here, we'll have a lot more to come in the next week.

Well, I was 1.5 correct. Although if we had had better special teams, I think we win more convincingly. Honestly, I felt we outplayed Stanford in this game. Certainly, Stanford played a great game, but if we turn those 2 red zone FGs into TDs, its a much larger margin.

Stanfurd played a shitty game, Twist. Because they ARE shitty. They are a shitty team. They are a shitty school. They win shitty nobel prizes. Everything they do is shitty. And they are spelled Stanfurd.

This is what you have driven me to with this sportsmanlike crap about Furd playing a “great game.”

Shit talking your opponent can only make you look bad, though. Therefore I propose that Stanfurd’s team consisted of 3,600 rampaging Huns, but Cal was better.

What will we do to the Stanfurdites on that great day?
We’ll celebrate them on that night after we play!
We now declare our hoodoo’s gone, victory is here!
Hit ’em again boys! Hit ’em again boys, harder!

Palms of victory, Palms of glory
Palms of victory we shall win
For Cali-California!
Palms of victory, Palms of glory,
Palms of victory we shall win!
How do you think we’ll feel that night? Anything but cross!
What’ll the red shirts have to say after their loss?
Fill then a bumper to the brim, for we have won!
Do it again, boys! Do it again boys, often!

We will never fail;

Hail! Hail! Hail!

Spreading light and goodness
Over all the West.
Fighting ’neath her standard,

When the training days are done,
And the Big Game’s just begun,
And there’s music in the air;
When our team runs on the field,
Stanford knows her fate is sealed,
For the Golden Bear has left his lair.
When the yells from lusty throats,
Start to getting Stanford’s goat,
And the rooting section seems a howling mob, Hey! Hey!
Then you grab your hat and shout,
You let folks know you’re about,
For you know that Stanford Jonah’s on the job.
So…then… it’s…
Up with the Blue and Gold,
Down with the Red;
California’s out for a victory.
We’ll drop our battle-axe on
Stanford’s head, Chop!
When we meet her, our team will surely beat her.
Down on the Stanford Farm there’ll be no sound,
When our Oski rips through the air.
Like our friend Mister Jonah,
Stanford’s team will be found
In the tummy of the Golden Bear!

Dude, name another team that has gone OVER 100 YEARS without winning a championship. Cubs fans have plenty to complain about. Giants fans can’t compare to the losing the Cubs have experienced. Cubs have it down.
Going to a Cubs game this season really made it hit home for me. Not a Cubs fan, never been to Chicago before September. Went to a day game(the only way to see Wrigley Field!) and it was packed. There was just this air about it that I had never felt at a baseball game before. Just being there was a special experience. If you got to experience that all the time – to think about all the history, all the glory of that place, all the different ways the Cubs break their die-hard-fandom hearts – and to think that a championship has NEVER come to Wrigley Field, and yet the fans make it such an amazing place day after day, year after year – wow.
I say let ’em complain.

Yeah – after crossing out my living room (0-2 vs. Oregon and OSU) we used a friend of mine’s slingbox (actually his USC brother’s slingbox – ugh password was ‘gotrojans’) because they have DISH Network and watched from another friend’s living room, with scones and muffins and Starbucks.
It was 4 Cal alumni and two more who were at church with their wives and we kept texting updates – I’m sure they were shouting in the middle of service “HAIL MOHAMMAD!!!”
My son likes this song
I play it on my Cal band CD (only after wins, of course). The first time my son heard it, he said, “I like that song. I want that again.” So I played it again. To which he said, “I want that again.” So I played it again. To which he said, "I want that again.’ This repeated itself a few more times.
“I want that again” is a demand he typically reserves for his favorite parts of Dora The Explorer and Go Diego Go, his favorite Sesame Street songs, favorite parts of his favorite videos, and “Sing A Song” (his favorite song from his children’s music CD). So “Palms of Victory” is in good company.
He also likes “Fight For California.” Great kid, my son.
Praise be to Tedford!

So, if Cal wins out, and Oregon State beats Oregon, what are the chances that Oregon goes to an at large BCS bowl? And if that happens, would Cal go to the Holiday Bowl?
I think the Sun Bowl is the best we can hope for. But Vegas or Emerald would be more fun!

Why not? Once the 1 is guaranteed in, the bowls only care about revenues. If the other one can’t generate as much revenue as a big time school, they’ll get left out.

Theoretically because the BCS has a vested interest in maintaining its own credibility that will force them to take both undefeated mid majors.
That’s the theory. We’ll have to wait a little while to find out what “practice” is.

Except there isn’t really a “the BCS”
I firmly believe the individual bowl committees care far more about their bottom line than the continuation of the BCS.
Not really, because it’s up to the bowls operating basically as an individual who they want to take. And they want to take whoever makes them the most money.

by dingosean on Nov 22, 2009 7:24 AM PST up reply actions
Not true. Every team in the 2004-2005 BCS bowls was an auto-qualifier. Hence the significance of Cal dropping from #4 to #5—only top 4 teams are guaranteed at-large bids if they don’t win their conference.

A little Rose Bowl rebellion, and breach of contract.
I can’t be 100% sure that there was a contract in place, of course, I just don’t know that much about the inner workings of the BCS. But it stands to reason.
The Rose Bowl wasn’t what kept us out of the Rose Bowl in 2004. You can blame a lot of things, just not them.

I mean, true, but there was a lot of BCS controversy back then, USC-LSU had just split the title, the Rose Bowl basically could have broken the system entirely if the gamble paid off…

Nope.
They were required by the BCS to take Texas. The 6 conference winners, non bcs team in top 6 (Utah) and team in bcs top 4 (Texas) were automatic qualifiers for the BCS. That filled up all 8 slots, leaving us out
www.californiagoldenblogs.com
This is correct – it was really Utah being in the Top 6 that kept us out of the Rose Bowl, not really Texas passing us. If Utah had not been No. 6, we would have gone to the Rose Bowl even with Texas ranked one spot ahead of us. The Rose Bowl made it quite clear at the time, that if they had a choice they would have selected us.

Long story short:
Nothing is written. This will be an interesting selection process.

HAI GUYZ
What about that ‘catch’ by Tucker on the 3rd and 12!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tuck had some nice ones this game. Too bad he didn’t see the ball on that longer pas.
I’m reveling it because it was awesome, but i think his foot came off the ground a millisecond before he has possession of the ball.
WHAT'S YOUR DEAL?
I was very, very worried that it was going to be overturned. Not “indisputable,” I guess.
November 20, 1982 - a date that will live in famy.
I didn’t think it was a catch because I suspected his foot came off the ground before he had possession. But Versus didn’t have a clear camera angle to show if that was true.
In the end, though, the correct replay decision was made. It wasn’t indisputable visual evidence to overturn. It was nice to see the right standard of review applied there.

Well, yes and no. The growth statistics from the Chinese government are a lie (No! You don’t say!) – there’s still plenty of spending in the economy, but the export market being down and the real estate market is super-over-heated. I smell bubble – at least in lower tier cities.
There’s a lot of bad anecdotal indicators too – two giant abandoned buildings in downtown, loads of commercial real estate available, apartment rents are coming down, but purchase prices are climbing. Big red flag for me. (not used ironically)
But people are still working, companies are still hiring – so it’s better than the US at least in the short term for employment purposes.

I have to ask
Is almost all the wealth and industry concentrated in a a few cities? Have you ever ventured out into the country side? How’s it look?
In other words, Go Bears!
No
Beijing and Shanghai are almost first world in many respects, but the money is spread through the South (near Hong Kong) where manufacturing is, and then there’s a lot of money in the poor regions (I know – weird – lots of money concentrated with a few people) where there’s a lot of coal mining and other natural resource, uh, exploitation going on.
Industry is all over – and it makes the Chinese countryside look like hell. Horrible pollution countermeasures – and no one cares, (or did – now people are really starting to get really really really sick). Plus – 1.4 billion people – there’s very very few peaceful uninhabited areas – mainly far west in Tibet, Qinghai (where they send political prisoners), Xinjiang (where the Turkish Uyghers live) and maybe parts of Sichuan. It’s a shame – so much of this country has the potential to be really beautiful, but there was no Teddy Roosevelt, no Rachel Carson, no John Muir.
And a billion more people.

What's our bowl possibilities now?
Pacific-10 Conf All
Oregon (11) 7-1 9-2
Oregon State (20) 6-2 8-3
Stanford (14) 6-3 7-4
California 5-3 8-3
USC (22) 4-3 7-3
Say we win out. We’re 6-3, so aren’t we favored over Furd to go to Sun Bowl?
But then it hinges on SC huh because they’ll be 6-3 too if they win out. Possible 5-4 scenario for them….
Basically I’m wondering about our Vegas Bowl chances. I’m in Vegas till the 21st. I might just change my tickets to 23rd….
This is way to complicated to be calculated by drunk jubilant fans at 12:30 in the morning
In other words, Go Bears!
It's gonna be
the Emerald Bowl for us. Zona is gonna destroy us.

Why?
Zona finishes perfect, they’re 6-3. We beat them which gives us an edge in picking. Doesn’t Cal draw a larger crowd? Or is Zona closer so they might get favored? Hah…..
He’s saying USC is going to the Nuts Bowl

You’ll beat UW and we’ll beat UCLA and lose to Zona. Oregon State will beat Oregon.

I bought my Emerald Bowl tickets tonight just in case. I figure they’ll make a push for either Cal or Stanford, so I either get good tickets to go to the game or resell them to Stanford fans and make all my money back (or even make a profit?)…

You’ve made a terrible mistake.

The way Rags described it tie breakers are used solely for the rose bowl. After that the bowls get to choose. so if the hbowl has a chance to snag usc in any way (tie for 2nd) they will. Basically, we just have to tie and be the most exciting choice.

Right now, we’re still up for any bowl between the Holiday and Poinsettia. Vegas seems less likely; I think it would take either:
a) a loss to UW, and then Arizona loses to USC. The Vegas then gets to choose between Cal and Arizona, and picks us because the Wildcats went last year.
b) an Oregon State win in the Civil War, with Oregon getting shut out of the BCS. The Ducks go to the Holiday Bowl, the Sun takes USC, then the Emerald gets to choose between Cal and Stanfurd. Because Cal went last year, they then decide on the Cardinal (I have no idea if this would happen), leaving the Bears in Vegas.
There are other possibilities, but I think these are the most likely.
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!

No Pac-10 team will be in the BCS title game, but it’s been the best conf by far this year. Ariz-Ore and Cal-Stanford adding to it tonight

He was getting an award for entering the Furd Hall of Fame.
First, my section was doing a cheer of: “Drop Out!!” Then he took the mic and got through a sentence or two, looked uncomfortable, then went with “We’re going to dominate the second half” and took off.
I bet he was quite perturbed and flummoxed.
Like all Furds are.

What happened
with Summers-Gavin when he was bleeding from the bridge of his nose? I wasn’t paying attention and then all of a sudden he was bleeding and Harbaugh looked super pissed.
There was a scuffle with a Furd player
Looked like the Furd player started it; it wasn’t shown on Versus, but the commentators mentioned how the Furdie was lucky that he wasn’t ejected.
by BleedinBlue on Nov 22, 2009 12:59 PM PST up reply actions
There was some sort of after play fighting going on. One of Stanford’s interior D-linemen got a personal foul for it.
by Missing Barry on Nov 22, 2009 1:00 PM PST up reply actions
MSG mentioned that him and Tepper (or was it Schwartz) were giving an earful to the Furd D-lineman
And after one play the Furdie took a swing at MSG
In other words, Go Bears!
Just got back home!
Got blastedly drunk Saturday night to celebrate. Did Bear Territory chants in the middle of the street in SF (random Cal fans joined in). Most amazing gameday experience for me ever.

unbelievable win!!!
Thought it was deja vu when the team was down quickly, then I was absolutely thrilled by this win.
Definitely one of the biggest wins of Tedford’s tenure as the team was predicted to be rolled over. To do it on their field, ruin their RB hopes – best line ever!
