Welcome to the postgame thread. Hopefully things have not gone terribly wrong, and you're basking in the glow of another Cal victory. If not...just don't break things while you're here, okay?
Same as last week; you get your chance to grade Cal's performance! Provide an alias (if you submitted something last week, provide the same alias) Grades are mandatory, additional thoughts are optional; the best will be included in the report card post Tuesday/Wednesday. Click here for the link, or you should be able to see the form on your browser after the jump.
CBKWit will have his immediate postgame thoughts up tonight or tomorrow morning. Until then, talk about the game or discuss the other big games going on tonight, including USC-Ohio State and Purdue-Oregon.

Should we have let Best get more TDs?
Sure he had more yardage, but Shane Vereen has 3 TDs to Best’s 1.
I care about wins and keeping Best healthy.
It'll be just you, me, and Peter Nincompoop.

http://www.justin.tv/sky_high_3 is showing Vandy @ LSU right now, but will pick up Purdue @ Oregon when that’s over.
That's embarrasing
I’m going to have to figure out what happened in that one.

USC regains the lead after a long drive sustained almost exclusively by McKnight

USC holds on to win
I’m not sure why the announcers keep praising Barkley on that last drive. He had one throw which was successful due to McKnight’s shifty, elusive running. If anything, that last drive was led by the O-line and McKnight.

Dude, Riley did a one hopper to Best today. Riley was getting sacked so he threw the ball vaguely in Bests direction. It must have not been a forward lateral. I guess a fumble. Anyway Best grabs it and then weaves through traffic for like 25 yards.
EXACTLY HOW THEY DREW IT UP!

It was a great drive though. Definitely the offensive line.
Cal should be a touchdown underdog for the USC game.

They look like equals. Masoli has not been impressive thus far, James a non factor thus far.
I just realized about 10mins ago that I actually get this game. It’s so much better on TV than the stream we saw for our game.
It sounds to me like Oregon is underperforming. I fear going into our game with them 0-3. We would be going against a desperate animal.

Cal Beats USC Oct 3
Cal has as good a defense as Ohio State. The difference is that OS was really SLOW to the hole on almost every run play up the middle and really slow to the edge. I say they trade positions with OS Sun. afternoon. Today’s effort against EW is B+!
I’m convinced Barkley will throw interceptions, at least three, IF Cal’s defense can contain Joe McKnight et al. and IF Cal’s defense can generate a decent pass rush.
Then the challenge simply becomes Cal’s offense (and special teams) not turning the ball over in kind.
Go Bears!

The problem is that we shouldn't let Barkley dink and dunk against us using their TEs

OrSt-UNLV
A UNLV receiver channeled his inner JRoss and tried to hurdle a defender but failed spectacularly when he was hit and fumbled the ball. This was in the red zone too. The game is mostly a defensive struggle and is tied at 0 midway through the 2nd.

I mean, I’m as happy as the next Pac 10 fan that SC won, but the current Yahoo! headline is
Backed up to his own 5-yard line, USC freshman QB Matt Barkley came of age on a game-winning march to beat Ohio State 18-15.
Came of age? Really? Why does everything any USC player do have to be tied to this “Team of DESTINYYYYYYYY” rhetoric, too? Faaack. Just gimme the score and shutup.

Uh… I think I remember reading that one of the linemen married a Song Girl a couple of years ago, so I think the answer is yes. That’s the sort of thing that it would be counterproductive to try and ban, I suspect.
Well, they aren’t limited to Song Girls – I mean, that would require that the Song Girls be pretty good sports about hooking up with multiple players, that would be time consuming.
I suspect that other young ladies are willing to jump into the gap.
And Mays, in a pinch, can play the “nice Jewish boy” card to extend the pool even further.
Ha!
No, I mean, from the photos I’ve seen of the Delta Gamma sorority (and I’m sure others…), not all the 5* talent is located on the football team.
That’s a fair statement. The DGs were attractive but if I recall correctly the astounding hotties were in Kappa Alpha Theta when I was an undergrad.
I would like this proved in a photo essay. Due by next week. TY.

I don’t think so in either case – I suspect it draws a certain kind of person.
They used to use basketball season to thin the herd of prospective Song Girls down to football season squad. Since not many people went to SC basketball games that meant you could end up near the coaches as they were assessing the various candidates. A couple of my buddies claim that they heard the following judgment: “She’s a good dancer and has the right attitude, but her tits are just too big.”
I suspect that this is complete crap.

I'm going to get straight subversive here
I think Tate Forcier is a greater impact player right now than Matt Barkley.
Assuming Notre Dame’s defense is halfway decent: True.
Also, major props to Michigan for beating ND and thus making much less likely that a crappy 10-2 or 11-1 Fighting Irish get given a free BCS bid.
The #1 greatest threat to America: BEARS
That’s reasonable – I doubt Michigan would have won without him, whereas SC would have been screwed without McKnight.
you know
I’m watching College Football Final right now and they’re showing the Michigan game, and all I keep thinking is “We will have a decided schematic advantage.”
Which is surely why he threw twice with the lead at the end of the game right Coach Weiss?
Separate question: are you at all worried about traveling to South Bend to play the Irish this year?
considering the game they just won, my guess is no.

But I think USC might be worse. If they’d had Mark Sanchez at QB on offense they would have wiped the floor with the Buckeyes.

Things I am hoping are true:
#1: Tennessee’s offense sucks
#2: LSU is massively overrated.
#3: ASU still has no offensive line and Jordan and Alualu feast on delicious Sun Devil QB flesh.
The #1 greatest threat to America: BEARS
I think that you’re pretty safe on item 1 as long as Crompton is in the mix.
Last week I had a guy in our New Orleans office tell me that there was nothing to worry about for LSU because they were being deliberately vanilla to avoid showing anything to conference rivals. If that’s true, pretty ballsy to do it 2 weeks in a row?
otoh, they only outscored a FCS team 2:1. Dunno what conclusion to draw from that.

Missing that XP
If OrSt lost another road game because of a missed XP…wow, I think Mike Riley might want to consult an oracle or something.
I had a friend who was a kicker on Vanderbilt’s football team. He watched Alexis Serna miss 3 XPs en route to losing @LSU in 2004 and made the hilarious comment that if he were that kicker, he would jump out of the plane on the way home. Serna clearly disregarded that advice and decided a better redemption would be winning the Lou Groza award 2 years later.

Software for .iso file, and how to make a DVD?
I haven’t burned anything to DVD in ages.
What software would you use on Mac OS X 10.5 (or 10.6) to convert the .iso file I’m getting off the Torrent, into a usable DVD I can put into a player?

I got it all to work
Just used Disk Utility to burn the .iso file to a standard DVD-R blank. Easy! Sweet! And he cut out all the commercials for us! A hero among men.
It works in my DVD player hooked to my TV (though it won’t play in DVD Player app on my Mac) – and I can now confirm that:
A) It was a lateral to Best, not a forward pass. Easy call after the replay.
B) The officials made a number of minor errors – naming the wrong player for the infraction (Alualu got tagged for an Uwusu offsides, for example), and perhaps a couple of bad calls – Offensive PI against EWU late…was it something off camera? b/c the ball wasn’t in the air, and the contact was minimal, after a jam on the line…
C) There is no way to tell from the broadcast if Boateng’s elbow hit the ground when he fell on his tackler, then got up and ran it in.
D) This space intentionally left blank.

Okay
Even with Furd’s loss, about which all can remain divided, pretty good day on the road for the Pac-10. USC, UCLA, OrSt win. Washington breaks the streak. Arizona handles its business in the ugliest manner possible, ASU doesn’t play, and WSU hopes that the bad man will stop.
And how. Man that is a depressing board to read. Just to play this way with ten games stretching out in front of you, that is absolutely killer. Well, hope that WSU will beat SMU then.
I have no idea if Paul Wulff is the guy
But, if he is the guy, and he’s got a good plan, WSU needs to give him a lot of time. It worked for Arizona, and it’s working at Vanderbilt too. I seriously doubted Bobby Johnson when he went 2-10 his first three seasons at Vandy, but almost all of that was spent upgrading talent and depth. Losses became slightly less lopsided. Then, all of a sudden, they go 5-6, 4-8, 5-6, 7-6, and in their 2009 class actually pull down some legitimate 3* prospects who are contributing immediately. That, if slightly less steep, is the type of curve WSU is on.
I hope they can follow it.
