number of close non-conference games by SC last season [including 4 teams ranked in the top-15] (0 out of 4)

number of close conference games by SC last season (6 out of 9)

I only count 5 close Pac 10 games.

I'd like to point out that USC outrushed Cal in that game, btw.

The cal game was tied well into the 4th quarter and we had a first half lead. our run blocking stunk that game, no question.

You were down by 14 with 8 minutes left - not a close game.

i respectfully disagree. did you see the game?

 

[VolinArizona]

Cal should have been 9-4. Out performed by Arizona State and UCLA, but Cal did outperform Arizona.

You can't disagree with the fact you were down by FOURTEEN with 8 minutes left.

This is becoming a trend for you Bear fans.

"Yeah we lost, but but but but but but but"

It's the justify our strength with obscure or tangential stat tactic. Vandy does a lot of the same.

Check out thepowerT.blogspot.com to see my Adjusted Performance Percentage statistic. Tennessee was worse than Alabama in SEC performance.

I think you need to read through this thread. My opinion of Cal and the Pac 10 is pretty indicative of most of the posters on this topic. They suck. I'm open minded, but I don't just let every bit of stupidity through the door. Besides, CalBears is obviously comming in here to argue, so I'll argue and crack on his team.

What am I arguing about? That my team is worth a damn? Yeah, no argument from me on that one.

Don't take any of this personally. If you'd like to avoid the condescending tone hurled at you here, you might mosey over to the AZ Wildcat board and talk some smack. I'm sure you look down at their program much the same way we do yours.

Well after we win, everyone will look down on you...

Soooooo, what will happen when we win?

 

[CalBears]

You guys think you’re so great huh? Well, sorry, your really not. That would be Florida and LSU. You are yesterday’s news. We will help to expedite that sentiment come September!

People/teams who think they are the greatest and are impervious to defeat always fall...

 

[CalBears]

Your cockiness will be your downfall. How sad…

 

[CalBears]

Nothing, because everyone (except Cal fans) expects you to. If you lose though, well, you know what will happen. Widespread panic in Knoxville!

 

[rwemyss]

Certainly, b/c Vol fans decide how our team performs on the field. :wacko:

Too much Starbucks again, huh???

 

[CalBears]

I can see it now, like a crystal clear evening on the Bay. Tennessee comes into town, sees the big buildings, gets an influx of ego and bravado. They make their way to the field, and they dance on our Cal logo, scraping it with their cleats in a TO fashion. Then, then the game will be over, and Cal will rise to the occasion! The birth of one program, the death of another!:yes:

The unfortunate part of that for you, is that we will not in your lifetime fall far enough for you to ever look down your nose at our program, even with our current coaching situation.
