Crazy year in College
As has been noted on several different occasions this year has been absolutley wild in college football, the swings week to week are baffling. I think the bettors are taking a hammering, I know I have. I've never seen a year where the top teams have looked so vulnerable and Texas and Florida are just off the charts considering the collection of talent on both sides. 1 team takes the cake even more than Texas for manic depressive behavior. Check out this. Talk about a wild ride for fans. Is this even possible? Low scoring, high scoring, blow outs to good and bad teams against good and bad teams. Ladies and gentlemen the Cal Bears.

Huh? Nevada is good, Arizona is solid (and it was on the road) and USC, while down this year, still have talent to beat anyone.
October 25th, 2010 at 3:45 PM ^
Yeah, I don't see what's so shocking about that. I think they lost to the three best opponents on the schedule while playing away from home.
October 25th, 2010 at 3:21 PM ^
Thats why they play the game....

I wasn't sure what to expect from this thread title... Was kinda hoping for a crazy set of stories involving false fire alarms pulled at 3am, stacking books up 7 feet high in front of peoples doors, so they wake up to a surprise in the AM... flooding bathrooms... ice sculpting in the hallways (fill garbage can with water, leave it outside in the cold, then the rest is history... Actually tried it, and failed miserably.)

"I actually tried it, and failed miserably"
Im guessing that you failed because you were having trouble just standing up nonetheless sculpt a huge block of ice...

I wish I got that far! It was a good idea, but poorly executed. A buddy and I filled water into a garbage can, and left it out over nightside over night, but it didn't freeze all the way...so upon flipping the pail over, ice and slush water spilled everywhere. Hilarious but disappointing at the same time.

Ladies and gentlemen a fail post.

Sounds kinda normal even though the scores are mostly blowouts.
October 25th, 2010 at 3:55 PM ^
52, 52, 31 and then 9 then 35 then 14 then 50.
also, i hate the stripes on their helmets

My brother goes there and I was at the game doing Color Guard. We left by half time because they were destroying. As per the Cal fans "That's the way we play; DESTROY the bad teams and GET DESTROYED by the good ones." Gotta love those guys: the Captain Obviouses of the world.

Notice the success at home and the failure on the road- opponents are terrified of falling into the crevasse that will open down the middle of the field when Memorial Stadium is inevitably swallowed into the ground in a major earthquake, so they play scared.
Cal is actually a horrible team, but while home field gives most teams a 3 point advantage on average, Cal gets a 50 point advantage.

If I wanted a study in team schizophrenia, I would focus on a UCLA or Texas for sheer mind-boggling frustration (would be even more pronounced if UCLA could upset Zona, but they don't have any qbs anymore). Cal seems to beat who they should beat, and get pasted when clearly overmatched.
October 25th, 2010 at 4:27 PM ^
10 times, Cal would win 9 of the games. At least that's what Pryor says.

On a related note, remember when Michigan was interested in Jeff Tedford for the HC opening? Other than beating USC once, in OT, and then almost beating them again the next year, Tedford has been consistently mediocre.
On the bright side, Stanford is a home game this year and the Giants are in the WORLDFUCKINGSERIES.
