9/3     Who did the worst job this past Saturday in Knoxville in front
        of 107,000 people in the stands and millions watching on ESPN?

        Jeff Tedford, head coach
        Mike Dunbar, new offensive coordinator
        Syd'Quan Thompson, redshirt freshman cornerback
        Nate Longshore, starting quarterback
        Cal offensive line

        My vote is for Nate Longshore.  What a letdown after months of
        praying he'd save us from Joe Ayoob.  Turns out that Ayoob
        is actually better than Nate the Fake.  When the worst starting
        QB in Cal history is actually better than you, then that means
                         \_ Justin Vedder
                            \_ Justin Vedder threw for 20 TDs vs. 14
                               INTs with 56.7% completions; that
                               probably doesn't even put him in the
                               top 10 bad Cal QBs.  Hint: History goes
                               back further than 1995.  -tom
                               \_ No arm, no mobility, no decision-making
                                  ability. He sucked.
                                  \_ The claim was "worst starting QB in Cal
                                     history."  -tom
                                     \_ Yup, thanks for playing.
                                        \_ Ayoob last season was worse than
                                           Vedder ever was.  At least Vedder
                                           could complete the 5-yard out
                                           to Dameane Douglas.  Ayoob
                                           couldn't hit anything.
                                           \_ On Saturday, Longshore made
                                              Ayoob look like Joe Montana.
        that you really suck, Nate.
        \_ My vote is also for Nate Longshore.  Just awful against Tennessee.
        \_ My vote is also for Nate Longshore.  Just terrible against UT.
           He better step up, or it's going to be a long season.
           \_ Go Steve Levy!
        \_ The alumni and the administration for continuing to subsidise
           football.  We have failed.  If I am ever rich enough to be an
           influential doner, I'll donate matching funds in proportion to
                \_ What's a "doner"?  Is that like a boner?
           influential donor, I'll donate matching funds in proportion to
           money *cut* from the football program.  University of Chicago has the
           football program to which non-moron alumni should aspire.
        \_ It was one game.  Don't be a dipshit.  -tom
        \_ I vote for Syd'Quan Thompson.  His performance was pitiful and
           directly led to 2 Tennessee touchdowns which broke our backs.
           Tennessee picked on him all game long because he showed he
           wasn't ready for prime time.
           \_ He was actually in position on both of those plays, but failed
              to make the tackle.  That's probably at least partly because
              he's playing with a cast on one hand.  -tom
              \_ Failing to make a tackle is a pretty inexcusable defensive
                 mistake.  As far as a cast goes, injuries are part of the
                 game.  If the cast was going to impair his tackling to the
                 point that he was going to give up 2 TDs, then he should
                 have let the coaches know that so they could have left
                 him on the bench.  Syd'Quan was awful.
