2006/9/19 [Academia/UCLA] UID:44439 Activity:kinda low
9/19    Based on Cal's 35-18 loss against a good-but-not-great Tennessee
        team, 42-17 victory at home against a below average Big 10 team in
        Minnesota, and Cal's 42-16 victory at home against a lowly Division
        I-AA team in Portland State, what do you think Cal's regular season
        football record will be this year?

        10-2 (additional loss to 1 of USC & Oregon)
        9-3 (additional losses to USC & Oregon)
        8-4 (additional losses to USC, Oregon, & 1 of UCLA/ASU/OSU/UA/WSU)
        7-5 (additional losses to USC, Oregon, & 2 of UCLA/ASU/OSU/UA/WSU)
        6-6 (additional losses to USC, Oregon, $ 3 of UCLA/ASU/OSU/UA/WSU)

        I vote for 8-4.  We will lose badly to USC, and Tedford always has
        trouble vs. Oregon.  This Cal team has enough question marks that we
        will probably get upset on the road at either Oregon State, Arizona,
        or Washington State.  UCLA and ASU are overrated and Cal will likely
        beat both at home.  Going 4-1 against that group of 5 teams will be
        a good achievement for this group.  A 6-3 Pac 10 record probably puts
        us in the Sun Bowl in El Paso as the 3rd place Pac 10 team after USC
        (Rose Bowl) and Oregon (Holiday Bowl).  UCLA and ASU will probably
        end up at the Las Vegas Bowl and Emerald Bowl by finishing in 4th and
        5th.
        \_ I vote for 7-5 and a return trip to Las Vegas.  Too many weaknesses
           on the offensive line and secondary.  Syd'Quan Thompson is going to
           cost us at least 1 more game.
        \_ LAS VEGAS BABY! -ausman
        \_ You guys are optimists.  6-6 is probably realistic.  Nate Longshore
           is not the answer at QB, no matter how many stats he runs up
           against D-IAA opponents.
           \_ Longshore is better than Steve Levy, who won three games
              including a bowl game in 2005.  We'll know more about how good
              the team is after this weekend.  -tom
              \_ Why is everyone forgetting Kyle Reed in the QB discussion?
                 \_ Because the coaching staff, which sees all the QBs all
                    the time, hasn't said anything to indicate he's even
                    being considered for the starting job.  -tom

        UCLA is ranked above Berkeley. UCSD is ranked above
        Berkeley. Irvine is ranked one below Berkeley.
        Berkeley has seriously gone done in the past
        two decades. I'm not surprised.

9/26    Cal vs. Oregon:  Were you surprised? </sarcasm>
        \_ I was not surprised the Oregon scored 42 points. I was surprised
        \_ I was not surprised that Oregon scored 42 points. I was surprised
           that Cal only scored 3.
        \_ Not surprised they lost. Surprised at what a thorough ass-kicking it
           was on both sides of the ball. Cal couldn't even put up a TD.

9/23    I'm in grad school part time, and the professor I was trying to get
        to advise me just sent me "What you suggest (remote, part-time, topic
        formulation) doesn't fit my advising style..."  Does anyone know
        what "topic formulation" might mean in this context?  I come with
        funding from work, but the topics I can choose are somewhat limited.
        Could be a reference to that...

2/8     Why does UC suck so hard? I did undergrad at UCB and I hated it.
        Professors couldn't teach, class workload was high, and the system
        was designed to "weed out" students and demoralize them rather
        than teach and encourage them. I always got lower grades than I
        deserved for the amount of work I put in. I don't know if this was
        because of the curve which insists that 50% of students should get
