Pretty sure any national game featuring Aaron Rodgers will be a CGB Open Thread going forward.

and yeah, “University of California” is technically correct, since that’s how we’re known for sporting purposes. Hence the reason that you always see “California” as the name next to the score, especially on national broadcasts.

So the Green Bay defense has been a bit iffy so far

One fumble has taken away Aaron’s only drive, and now he’s down 14-0 just like that.

Packers defense is way worse than last year. They could use some rush defensive ends to take the pressure off of Matthews to make some plays in the backfield.

But he earned major points with a nice Al Davis retrospective, followed up immediately by bashing the his own network’s upcoming programming.

Bob Costas is at his best with his Olympic coverage.

Especially when he’s doing the non-primetime stuff, he is highly entertaining. As I recall, he’s better during the Winter Olympics than the summer variety.

Chris Collinsworth with the horribly irresponsible comment

“The slide killed him there – Ryan would’ve made the first down if he would’ve just gone headfirst.”

Advocating a headfirst dive for a QB, Chris? Come on, that’s terrible.

Yes, I realize that, but it’s irresponsible of Collinsworth to call for a headfirst slide. Ryan should have taken another step before he started the slide, sure, but he risks major injury by going headfirst.

agree with the call, but hate that rule

Dude had the ball and two feet in before he was forced out of bounds, that should be a CATCH. It was the right call by the ref according to the rule, but I think it’s a stupid rule.

The ultimate "What if?" for Cal fans

What if Aaron Rodgers returned for his senior season in 2005? That team somehow managed to win eight games, including a bowl, despite having Joe Ayoob at QB. With Desean Jackson and Marshawn Lynch and Justin Forsett and Craig Stevens, plus one of the best defenses of the Gregory era, I think that team beats USC and then gets the ultimate revenge match against Texas in the Rose Bowl for the National Championship. But alas, it just wasn’t meant to be.

Go Bears!

by California Pete on Oct 9, 2011 11:12 PM PDT reply actions

The 2005 team

Also had a great offensive line. That was the year that Marshawn rushed for over 1,000 and Forsett ran for 999. Almost had two 1,000 yard rushers!

(Anthony Wallace and Russell White in 1990 was the last time we did that, BTW.)

Keeping January 2 open. You know, just in case.
