Golden Nuggets: Tweets from that painful game; athletics admission scandal?

The SFGate is cooking up some controversy by reporting on the admission standards for students of the high-profit sports like football and men's basketball.

The admission of academically challenged student athletes coincides with skyrocketing achievement among other applicants to Cal. The school is so academically competitive that this year Cal rejected 4 of every 5 applicants. Of the record 67,665 freshman applications, Cal admitted 14,103.

...

"Can a student with this profile truly maximize the UC Berkeley experience? It seems this question has not been taken seriously," say the report's authors.

Also, there were some notable tweets that came out during the game.

Up first, a conversation between two former Cal players, DB Josh Hill and DL Ernest Owusu.

Cal defensive gameplan is terrible. Whr is the d. Coordinator frm??

@TheErnestOwusu I was at the practice. I see why they don't stop nobody. Even healthy don't see them stopping anyone honestly.

Trevor Guyton, who often lined up opposite Owusu at Cal and with the Minnesota Vikings, had the following reaction:

Im so disgusted with everything. This is colorado. THIS IS COLORADO

— Glen Coco (@TrevG92) November 17, 2013

And lastly, two tweets that probably do a good job of capturing the feelings of the Cal faithful.

Last tweet of the night: This is the worst Cal team I have ever seen.

I don't think I've ever been this angry.
