The Big Game Line, Cal (-13.0) at Stanford
I had bad feelings about the Washington line going into that game, and I was annoyingly proven right again. [TABLE=4] Yes, Cal has failed to cover the spread since the Oregon win, with much delight to sports bookies everywhere. The square gamblers out there must be blind and deaf, because they’re still high on Cal […]
The Very Small Game (Cal-Stanford Soliloquy)
Look, I know what week it is. I know who we’re playing. I know it’s a big deal to every big Cal fan out there, especially those who were graced with the awesomeness of Holmoe. Retain the Axe and all that. Good good good. I couldn’t care less. That isn’t because I’m done following the […]
Marshawn Lynch on Yardbarker
Hopefully he’ll write up more than his old QB Nate Longshore. [Yardbarker]
Report Card, Cal-UW
Quarterback: B. After the horrors of last week, Nate turned in his most solid performance since Oregon on Saturday, seemingly putting to rest any speculation on whether that ankle was fully healed. Although Washington is not USC, 20-28 for 3 scores and 1 INT against any defense is supremely efficient. He did throw the pick […]
Cal-Washington Liveblog and Open Thread
Watching Cal-Washington Online–copy URL on this link and paste it onto your media player (preferably Windows Media Player; go to File–>Open URL and then paste there) I’ll be watching some of the game on TV and will try my best to be humorous and uplifting. Because after all, it’s only a game. Hell, I might […]
Who Could Our Bowl Opponents Be? (Sun and Elsewhere)
We covered the Emerald possibilities yesterday–onto the other prospects, examining mainly the complexity of the Sun Bowl choice. Most of these possibilities are burning alive with Oregon’s predictable collapse in the desert. Better pencil in San Francisco, but this is just in case. You can vote in the sidebar for the conference you’d like to […]
Who Could Our Bowl Opponents Be (Emerald)?
Well, guess what. After bashing the conference for weeks, it looks like I’ll be watching ACC football these next two weeks. What goes around comes around I guess. Here are the likelihood of bowls, in order: Emerald Bowl (most likely), Sun Bowl (possible), Las Vegas (doubtful), Holiday Bowl (pipe dream). If Ragnarok is correct, by […]
The Line: Cal (-7) at Washington
So this is what it’s come down to. From #1 for two hours to mere seven point favorites against the worst team in the Pac-10, most likely without their star quarterback. Just for the record, Cal’s record against the spread this year? A whopping, awesome 3-7, including five straight downers! (Public % stands for the […]
Tears Fall From the Heavens–Report Card, Cal-USC
Quarterback: F. If the weather had been a little less wet, Longshore would have thrown four picks in this game. If Lavelle doesn’t rein in that overthrow, Nate doesn’t have a TD pass either. Pretty much a mess, and Nate’s close to Section Eight at this point. The Steve McNair-Brian Billick parallels are uncanny. Although […]
Why Tedford Sticks With Longshore
I know most of you are disgusted with Nate, who really did not perform well at all tonight. You know things are going pretty badly for you when the most exciting part of the entire game is seeing you hindered on the field and your backup looking ready and willing to enter the huddle. That […]
