This is why you finish the season with the Big Game. Washington didn't want to be in Strawberry Canyon last year, and it's clear Cal doesn't want to be here today.
Use this thread to discuss all the Cal-UW 12.5.09 Third Quarter Action. Last regular season halftime of the year. Hope it was a great halftime. Don't forget to vote in the CGB Insta-poll. GO BEARS!

We at the CGB never like to take extreme measures such as banning people. We would like to keep the CGB an open forum for people to express their personal views and reactions to all things Cal, whether they be positive or negative. However, if some commenters take this freedom too far and make comments that are specifically designed to instigate quarrels, or anger other commenters, then we will take appropriate action. Please note that all decisions regarding bans are contemplated thoroughly by many Marshawnthusiasts. We look at the totality of the situation, the commenter’s track record, and the community’s response to alleged offending commenter. These are not decisions we take lightly.

I don’t think he should be banned. He’s overly negative, yeah, but I still think he should be allowed to post and comment even if nobody really agrees.

Troll
I think a troll would be like a fan of USC or Stanford or something coming on here and posting things like that. He says very, very few positive things, I know, but I still think he should be allowed to post.

I think his commentary takes away from the otherwise fun in-game community. I fully support the mods’ decision to silence a grating-at-best voice. And, I’ll kick in for napalm-ing his house or IP provider if USAF can hook us up.

He’s not even a Cal alum. He’s currently a college student in Connecticut and grew up in Oregon. He’s a troll.

Well, I’m not a Cal alum and don’t plan on attending in the future.

There are two title games on right now. You have the ACC title game on ESPN between Georgia Tech and Clemson on ESPN and the Big 12 title game on ABC between Texas and Nebraska.

How about a Mark Mangino type rant, that’s what the Bears need.

Still, we’re in sixth place with a loss even if USC had won or lost.

have Riley move the hand warmer to the front…allwill be well if he does

The Bears cannot abandon the run in the third quarter
They have to use Vereen. It’s only a three score game! They also need to have the defense step up.
So...
I just got back from lab and was looking forward to this game as a pick me up.
Was that a bad idea?
Why is MSG such a big miss? He’s a frosh!
In other words, Go Bears!
by royrules22 on Dec 5, 2009 5:08 PM PST via mobile reply actions
You can use MSG as being missed
But, really there’s no excuse for the way the Bears have been playing. I wouldn’t put it directly on the offensive line I would put it directly on the playcalling.
Too many throws on first down especially since Vereen is what really helped the offense against Stanford and it also eats clock and keeps the defense on the sideline.
So I was distracted by events down south...
…is the weather really that horrible, is Locker just playing out of his mind, or has Riley reverted to a less functional state?
Look, the weather outside is frightful, but the win over Stanford was delightful. I would like to win the UW game, (and I want us to win every game) but honestly, I’m more interested in us winning the bowl game.
I think that's the problem -
- you play your rival, you get the big win, and then you have to come out two weeks later and go on the road for the “O BY THE WAY” game? Shades of Southern Miss 2004…still bitter about that.
BTW, if it’s Texas, I swear as a son of the great state of Alabama that we shall do all in our power to return the favor of your defenestration of the traitor Franchione in 2006.
the biggest disappointment here
…is that we could have sent USC to the Poinsettia Bowl, but instead it’s going to be us.

This may be defeatist thinking...
…but if the choice is “El Paso TX” vs “San Diego CA” – well, look, I’m not above sandbagging it…
I just worry about the recruiting. A 10-win season and tied for 2nd in the Pac-10 is a much better sell than 6th place.
6th place?
How’s that? If Cal loses, we are 5-4 in the conference, tied with USC. Sure, the Trojans killed us, but there’s no tiebreaker for fith. The Vegas Bowl would take USC because they’re USC, not because they beat us.
Sixth Place
Oregon (8-1), Oregon State (6-3), Arizona (6-3), Stanford (6-3), USC (5-4) and California (5-4) would be the final standings.

You're making up tiebreakers that don't exist
USC doesn’t “win” the tiebreaker because they beat us. There’s no such thing as a tiebreaker for fifth place.
They would go to the Vegas Bowl because the Vegas Bowl committee would rather have USC than us. They don’t care about anything else.
Sorry
If two teams have the same record, the head-to-head determines the tiebreaker.

My little girl guarantees there’ll be a comeback. The squirrelly little baby won’t settle down to let me watch the game. Get ready for some Blue n’ Gold rock n’ roll.
Need to get used to playing with a bullseye on your back
I can guarantee Holt and company jogged their memory a bit from last year’s beatdown. This team isn’t any less talented than we are.
Like cocaine straight from Bolivia.
Let's be honest about this
It would be a disappointment to lose this game, but I don’t really care all that much. It’s weird to play this game in December, two weeks after the regular season should end. For Washington, it’s their bowl game, probably Locker’s last game as a Huskie. They have a reason to play well. We have some complicated, political second-tier bowl game argument.
We didn’t get shelled three times already this season for no reason. Washington is almost always tough at home, even with the stadium only partially-full. It’s not like we haven’t played like crap before.

Uh…There’s a chance my girl was wrong about that comeback deal. Please forgive her – she’s only 6months old.
Six months?
I suspect you were putting words in her mouth.
Just gotta answer back
the defense isn’t going to do it for us, so we have to take advantage of any opportunity.
Like cocaine straight from Bolivia.
Nothing to lose...
…bombs away. Got to do it anyway to catch up.
Besides, maybe it’ll stretch the D for Vereen a little too. Assuming they can avoid penalties in the WildFad formation…

works just often enough to keep Tedford from banning it forever.
good show
back to where we were at half with 5 minutes off the clock.

I almost forgot he was still on the team. Nice play.
The D needs to start making stops. I like how Boateng came off the field fired up…

My God…this is shades of the Oregon game earlier this season, but with slightly more Cal offense.

I still have a feeling that teams revert to who they are. We get two td’s by the end of the quarter and we have a chance.
defense exposed?
Or asleep, not sure which. Not swarming, bad angles, out of position. Coaching must reasonably be considered at this point because it’s a weekly question mark on fundamentals. We have the athletes; what’s left is the mental game. That’s coaching. Important stop just now, but it’s an inconsistent effort. Offense, I can’t figure what the problem is yet with the line. I want to do stats on them next year, if I have time. C’mon Bears.
I agree some of it’s on the coaching, but I don’t agree that we have the athletes that are anymore than middling Pac-10 players
Like cocaine straight from Bolivia.
I don't know
I don’t often buy into that starring program for HS recruits, if that’s what you mean. HS differences make it too complex to be consistent. I’d say Cal athletes are above average. Not all are top tier, but most are above average.
Watched us play decent man coverage against USC, which is more about athleticism, but losing the game in linebacker pass coverage, which is more about positioning and reaction. That is to say, coaching.
Yep. Cal line is now going through a game long epic fail.
