Hm... Makes enough sense with Wazzu. But I think Oregon State will keep playing well. Why? Mike Riley, that's why. IMO the single most underrated coach in the country. Honestly, if you look at the type of situation Oregon State is in, they should not be a 10-win program, or even close to that. Oregon State is a football program in a state with practically zero in-state high school talent, incredibly poor financial backing, a lethargic athletics department, poor facilities, little history and a nutty Terry Baker-ite fan base. It takes a pretty good coach to even make the Beavs a .500 program. Mike Riley, in spite of all the idiots who want him out of Corvallis (there are many -- I don't know why), has decided to continue to grace his presence with the University, and continues to make himself into the greatest coach ever at OSU. That very prowess is why you never count the Beavs out. They're never going to have the talent level to reach a level of continuous national prominence, but with Riley at the helm, they're capable of winning ten games any given season.

Have you noticed that "calbears" and "oski" have never been posting at the same time. Just saying. . .

What the hell is that supposed to mean? And coincidentally, has anyone noticed how Droski always seems to agree with you guys? Even when you are disrespecting our team and conference? What a sellout. And can someone explain to me what a “troll” is?

Look, Droski is a punk as far as I am concerned. He has no backbone. He lets you guys walk all over him, that’s not me, no way. Plenty of REAL Cal fans would act the same way I have. The sissy ones would act like Droski. Always implying that he knows what the real Cal fans are up to and what their sentiments are. Shoot, he is a little far removed, living in LA and all. GO BEARS

I am saying REAL Cal fans believe we are on our way to greatness. Do real Cal fans think we will win a National Championship and reach the Rose Bowl soon? Absolutely! No Cal fan is going to say that we are going to lose to you; it’s just not going to happen. You will get a lot that will say it will be close and you might win, but none will say we are going to lose. Real Cal fans never question the greatness of their team. Real Cal fans never fight in front of other fans unless responding to unwarranted attacks, such as the ones leveled by Droski.

I'm literally laughing out loud at the notion that the PAC 10 will be better in 2007 than in 2006.

Oregon State had a +4 in CGVR, thus, they're record will drop substantially.

Washington lost just about everything from their 6-6 team.

Oregon will improve. Arizona will improve. Arizona State will improve. Stanford will not.

Washington State was +2 in CGVR, so there's a 67% chance they don't improve on their record.

Cal will be about the same, USC will win the National Title. UCLA will be about the same.

The Pac 10, top to bottom, will be the same or worse than last season.

you have to learn that life is not all about stats.

UCLA returns everybody so they can't be worse. USC returns all the defense and the qb. OSU returns every major player but QB (a qb who was horrible virtually his entire career btw). Oregon returns virtually the entire team. ASU returns most the team. Cal returns 16 starters. WSU returns a senior qb. Arizona has a lousy coach and probably will still be lousy. Stanford will be about the same. Washington will be about the same. So we have one or two team that will be worse, 2 or 3 teams that will be the same, and 6 that will be better.

Look Droski, I am not one to argue with other Cal fans, especially on an opponents board. Your comments though that I am that crazy Cal Bears guy was just wrong. I have sent him a personal message asking him to join us. I have yet to hear a response.

They UC Regents would not have added contractual language stipulating a massive bonus if Cal wins the NC unless they thought they had a serious chance. The coach wouldn’t have had that added either if he didn’t believe as well.

I don't have to learn jack, buddy. I'll be more than happy to make a wager with you about the 2007 Pac 10 teams and SEC teams. Interested in hearing more?

Here are the details: we wouldn't make our predictions until August 21st or thereabouts. We can do all 6 major conferences, or just the Pac 10 and SEC. We each predict every single game for every single team - $1 each.

You don't predict a final record or anything, but you predict every game. See, Tennessee could finish 9-3, but I could predict the losses incorrectly and go 6-6 on Tennessee games.

We'd probably have a lot of the same picks for 70% of the games, but the others would be where the money was made. I expect to win at least $20 from you, if not more.
