Bash Cal Here

Also, as bad as we thought our KO returns were last season, Cal was only ranked 2 spots ahead of us in the overall rankings.

Didn't we send the Pep Band to Florida last year?

It was sarcasm based on the UT fan response to that very idea. :p

And USC takes a new QB into Arkansas to play a hungry Razorback team to begin the season. Could be a huge upset. COULD BE.

I've been talking about that the entire offseason. McFadden's injury really hurts the Hogs, but I still think SC will have their hands full.

Cal will be sending "The Straw Hat Band", and they get a small discount for travelling, otherwise, the pay the rest for their own trips themselves.

OK, the band thing was a joke! It was a play on the reaction of UT fans when we did the same thing. :rolleyes:

Cal OL vs UT OL-Stalemate
UT DL vs Cal DL-Moderate UT advantage
Cal WRs vs UT WRs-Moderate Cal advantage

Cal RBs vs UT RBs-Slim Cal advantage
UT LBs vs Cal LBs-Stalemate
Cal QBs vs UT QBs-Stalemate

UT Run Offense vs Cal Run Defense-Moderate UT advantage
Cal Run Offense vs UT Run Defense-Stalemate/Slim Cal advantage
UT Pass Offense vs Cal Pass Defense-Moderate Cal advantage

No, Hat, I really don't think it did. Auburn's offense seemed to suffer more from their own humidity than USC's defense.

I think we shut Cal's run down and force them to throw it. We put Longshore on his back and he makes some mistakes and sits himself down. Ayoob comes in and its all downhill from there.

On offense, I think we put it in 2 TEs most of the game and lean on the defense with Foster and occasionally have Coker run it for a change of pace. Ainge(or Crompton) occasionally uses the PA to catch the DBs biting on the run for a few big completions.

I heard this mentioned about the USC @ Ark game and also figure it will come into effect for our game as well. The weather conditions. The west coast teams are not quite used to the type of humidity that we have in the south. Berkley is in North California, so it should have a greater effect on them than it would on USC. It may not be a major factor but could play some sort of role in giving us an advantage.

There may be a little something to it:

How much it actually affects the game is another matter.

Everyone wants to talk how good their DB's are but where were they last season? Ranked 80th in pass def. w/ 240yd per game. UT was 54th. They also had a neg turnover ration last season. They led the PAC-10 at scoring def w/ 21+ pts per game??? Plus, it looks like they gave up almost 2 sacks per game. Our d-line should be licking their chops.

ND ranked 103 in the nation last year and look what they did to Anige

I value your opinion on this board more than almost anyone, but I think you're off a bit on these. Just for fun, here's my bad opinion:

UT OL - Cal OL = UT advantage (solid)
UT DL - Cal DL = Cal advantage (slight)
UT WR - Cal WR = Push
UT DB - Cal DB = UT advantage (slight)
UT RB - Cal RB = Cal advantage (solid)
UT LB - Cal LB = Push
UT QB - Cal QB = Push

UT Run Offense - Cal Run Defense = Push
UT Pass Offense - Cal Pass Defense = Push
Cal Run Offense - UT Run Defense = Cal advantage (slight)
Cal Pass Offense - UT Pass Defense = UT advantage (slight)

I think it's a very nicely even matchup and 3 things will decide this game (outside of the talent v. talent we just covered)

1. Coaching = Push
2. Home field = UT (big time)
3. Weather = UT (solid)

And no one is touting those guys for AA now are they? ND also played much better teams than Cal did last season.

Tom Zbizsijhsajhkowski (yeah, I don't know) has gotten a lot of national attention, even before his boxing.
