It's all part of their plan to fake the CFB world into thinking they're not very good. Losing by 28+ each week is just a ploy.
Watching the game last night it was awesome when they showed their cheerleaders and my 13 year old said, "Dad, they're all ugly. Don't they have any cute cheerleaders?"
Hey, they'll make the national championship game once again and win.
Maybe they had more penalty yards than Oregon State so toolio will claim scoreboard.

stoolio is probably still combing through the box score to find some epic 3rd down passing stat to claim bode.

Cal will have a lot of extended halftimes next year.....people are lining up for homecoming games........
But wait, we gained more passing yards going east to west with the wind against us in that last game, so therefore we should be awarded the win.

Now that's something, right there. This is a Purdue team that was not only shut out last Saturday, they didn't even reach the red zone once. In this day and age of Playstation football, that's fucking hard to do.

Bad enough that Aaron Rodgers is ashamed to be associated with them.
"Aaron Rodgers. Butte Community College." in the intro to the game tonight.
Poor Stoolio...

Isn't "butt community" just another euphemism for cal?
Where would that 120th ranked defense be without him?

Remember 10 of 11 starters on defense are out for the season, in make believe world.
He also told us that the guys playing were 3rd and 4th string Frosh and soph. Damn just imagine this cal defense had they been able to play the second string guys. Prolly would have cracked the top 115 defenses in the country.

So is he the 1 of the 11 that is still starting? Or is it Carter? Or is it one of the other 5 guys still starting from the beginning of the year?

Not only from the beginning of the year but also at the end of spring ball and from fall camp.

Well, Cal keeps doing what Cal keeps doing...
Owning the NFL... and smashing records.
Last week... Marvin Jones set a franchise record (Cincinnati Bengals) with 4 TD receptions in a single game...
If you were to put together a "NFL Fantasy Football Team" by school...
... No school could even come close to Cal.
It is what it is...

Hey shit for brains....if Cal is so fucking good, why can't they ever do shit? All you have is meaningless shit ass statistics. Well we suck so I'll pull the my guy did well in the NFL card, or my guy has a higher GPA than your guys bullshit. Face it asshole, your team sucks. They've always sucked, you suck, everything you post sucks so quit with the we had less penalty yards than you did bullshit. Cal is a pathetic excuse for a football program right now.
Only a five point loss? That's going to give toodles at least two weeks of bragging material.

Good news on the Cal front today...
They are only next to last in total defense in FBS. It would be very difficult for them to actually finish in last due to just how horrible New Mexico State is. Cal would have to allow over 650 yards per game over their last 3 and USC and Colorado can't come anywhere close to that even with tackling dummies on the opposite side of the line of scrimmage.

To be fair (like that matters when talking about Cal football), Dykes' Bear-Rape defense has squared off against teams that can score prodigiously -- Midnorthwestern, tOSU, Oregon, Arizona, UDub, Wazzu (they can score, just can't stop anyone else from scoring), UCLA, ntOSU...
All teams that can light it up. I'm guessing if Bama had played those teams, their defensive stats would be radically different (as would the BCS rankings).
That said, Cal's defense fuggin sucks, reagrdless of opponent. They gave up 30 to Portland Freaking State.

That **woooosh was the sound of the point flying over your head.
Winning or losing is moot.
You going to argue that Bama wouldn't have given up more points if they had faced Cal's schedule than their own? I hope so, since the pile-on would be entertaining.
As far as the rankings -- do you disagree that the BCS standings would look different had tOSU and Bama played (not to mention Oregon and UCLA)? Are you OK?

You're right. Bama and tOSU would still be #1 and respectively if they'd played. And if Bama and Oregon had played, they'd still be #1 and #2, regardless who won, right?
Over the years, I've noticed that SEC Fan's IQ is in direct inverse proportion to their team's record.

And since you missed the point -- it was that Cal, other than the one cupcake they eked a win against, plays an absolutely brutal schedule this year. Don't get me wrong, I don't think their record would be any different if they'd played tOSU or Louisville's schedule, just that their defensive stats wouldn't be quite as entertaining bad.
