112th Big Game Post-Game Overflow Thread

Don'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.

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.

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!

Rallying round her banner,
We will never fail;

Hail! Hail! Hail!

Queen in whom we’re blest;
Spreading light and goodness
Over all the West.
Fighting ’neath her standard,
We shall sure prevail;

Hail! Hail! Hail!

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!

You didn’t see the White Sox complaining, and then turning into the biggest deal ever when they won. You don’t see Giants fans turning into the kind of deal Cubs or Red Sox fans do.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The key is to park as far away from the stadium as possible, on the outside edge so that when you get to your car you don’t have to dodge pedestrians and when you get out you’re already to the major roads. But it’s a gigantic pain in the ass still.

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.

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.

China' population in 1949
was only 550 million. It sounds really Malthusian, but if the population was only about 650, 680 million, China would be so much better off right now.

Definitely true. I was just pointing out that land conservation modeled after the US was never really in the cards. Unfortunate.

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….

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!
