Fire Flood!
I hope so. We'll certainly be out for blood and we demonstrated in 2011 what we were capable of against Stanford when we actually tried. Last year's loss felt like a fluke. We were sloppy on so many levels... Overconfident with the predictions that we would win by 20+. We need to bring our A-game against their defense, and if we do I absolutely know we can beat the shit out of them. But we truly need to go in confident and prepared. If we play sloppy like we did today or against them last year though it's gonna be a repeat.
All of us Duck fans want a shot at Alabama. I think we can all mostly agree that it would be an interesting matchup.And I'll definitely be in that fucking Rose Bowl stadium if we have that opportunity.
There were a lot of little quirks in that game. De'Anthony's missed block. Stanford's final TD that kinda wasn't. Stanford's fumble in OT that Michael Clay didn't grab.
Weird stuff all over the place.

Which bowl game would that work out to be? I think Oregon will probably end up in the title game so the matchup isn't likely this year.
If the season so far is any indication, Oregon would torch Bama anyway.
No wonder you've been so down these past nine years.

Man, the only reason they lost this game was shitty special teams play and a great play by the Stanford D to tip and intercept Price's throw.
I guess you could put the special teams stuff on Sark, though I've never known him to coach those teams directly. The play calling tonight looked fine. Price was tearing Stanford's secondary up.
At either rate, Washington doesn't have the talent to beat Oregon this year, full stop. I don't care who is coaching you guys. Stanford is built to deal with them to a degree (and I have major doubts about this year), but Washington just isn't there yet. But UW is headed in the right direction. You guys went on the road and took a better team down to the wire, and honestly should have won but for terrible special teams play. I'm sure you guys see it differently but I always felt you guys were overachieving for the first couple years, and then it caught up with you. What seemed like stalling in progress was actually just reality catching up. But now you guys are getting better and are a Top 15 team (damn what the polls will say after tonight). And you want to fire your coach for being Top 15 and not Top 5 just yet? I dunno, just seems... sorta insane.
Well, we've also been losing to every other team in the conference in the same time span, so don't pat yourself on the back too hard.
Those two garbage short kicks cost us the game, along with the penalties. Penalties obviously ultimately fall on the head coach. As far as the short kicks, those ultimately end up on him as well. Either they were executing what was called, and they were just terrible calls...or they weren't executed correctly, and we apparently don't have someone on the roster capable of making the kick, which also falls on Sark.

I'm still drunk and I can't believe Ohio State won that game
Trying to beat Georgia Tech at their own game, I see.
No one has more moral victories than we do over the last 5 years.
Also I came to the realization this morning that Mizzou is probably going to win the east, which is weird.
Tennessee has been a mess. It's hard to take a moral victory when you want the actual victory but they really did play well yesterday. The thing to watch out for is a regression since yesterday may have been their top effort of the season. Most teams can only get up for 1 or 2 games a year.
Mizzou could win the east. They have a really good offense and we have so many guys out. Pretty much playing with our scout team right now. I don't know how we'll ever keep up with Mizzou this week.

Northwestern?
We have a week off so hopefully that helps. It will be interesting to see what happens with Worley. The defense played about to their standard yesterday and the o line and Neal played about like they have been. The real question is if everything finally clicked between him and the freshman receivers in the second half or was that a one time thing? Who knows but that will pretty much determine the outcome of the year.
I hope it has clicked cause I like the kid and he has had to deal with a lot of shit since he has been here and got totally fucked by Dooley.

Cal only have three CBs able to play after Willis and McClure were injured last night, so a couple wide receivers are taking reps at cornerback. Similarly, there's at least one running back playing linebacker in practice. The injury situation on defense is ridiculous.
In other news, the Bears current 9 game losing streak to FBS opponents since beating WSU in 2012, is the longest of any team in a BCS conference.

I like this Mizzou team a lot, but I still give the edge to Georgia. Our offense will score plenty of points, but so will you. Our D-linemen are pretty good, and our linebackers have been making plays, but our secondary is suspect outside of Gaines. Even with all of your injuries, Murray will find ways to score. I do feel better about the game now than I did before the season started.

Whoops, true. Just saw them listed first, and it was higher that their last week rank.
It's fair enough but I'm still very worried. Mizzou has a good offense, but not known for defense and our team is the same, we're just minus most of our weapons. Our secondary has been really bad this year. At some point I'd like to think that our freshmen there will start to get better.
Maybe Jonathan Rumph will finally make his debut. He's the 6'5" JUCO receiver that I thought would make a huge impact this year, but he got a hamstring injury in the spring and has been trying to heal.
Lot of bitching last night on the post game show from the hosts about the horrible condition of the turf at Neyland. Apparently was really hard and shallow turf with spray painted sand in spots. Not sure why only affected our guys but I'd guess that the previous tough games exposed some guys that were banged up.
What a horrible day to be a Cal Bear.

Richt has confirmed that Scott-Wesley and Marshall are both out for the year with ACL injuries.
Nothing but bad news man.
-Michael Bennett will have his knee scoped early this week and is OUT for the Missuri game.
-Todd Gurley remains day-to-day
Just saw that. Ugh.
Another interesting tidbit, Richt said that JJ Green may have not even been a RB if he hadn't enrolled early. They were thinking wide receiver or cornerback.

I feel you. We lost two guys for the season yesterday with a broken ankle and broken leg.

For injuries sake it's a good thing y'all aren't playing @ Mizzou. You're lucky if your team comes away from that divot laden field without someone tearing an acl
Already got fucked by the turf at Neyland.
Any "divots" were caused by all of your incomplete passes hitting the turf.
Sorry to hear about the injury report for Georgia. We went through that mess last year and I keep waiting for the injury bug to return every game.
Cause all those other injuries that have happened there this year. This is always something people day when something shitty like this happens and people are looking or excuses when in reality it is just bad luck.
And one of them clearly had nothing to do with the field.
Played well. No complaints from me.
