i'd stop posting if Calbears and co. weren't running my teams name into the ground. No one would be happier than me to see the thread closed. I think i've repeated myself 50 times.

It would probably help if you could wins those games on your schedule.

I still do not get how someone comes on the board after their team was thrashed and some how some way figures their team is the favorite heading into next year's game.

Teams get thrashed by one team on season and win the next year ALL THE TIME. It's a new season. Someone who won 10 games in 06, wont even have a winning record. Some team that went 5-7 will win 10 games. Am I 100% positive that Cal will beat UT? Of course not. Doesn't mean I'm not right. Those that think that ONE GAME tells you all you need to know about two programs clearly haven't watched much college football.

Really teams rebound or get better/worse from year to year. I should have gone to Cal and learned me some schooling.

So Tennessee with have a catastrophic drop in talent?

Nice!

World of talent, lack of focus by the coaching staff that trickled down to the players.

So it's possible for a team with good talent to not play well. Really? So the only possible explanation for Cal getting blown out by Tenn is that Tenn has massively superior talent to Cal? Even if the recruiting rankings say otherwise? Or the polls? Your team is the only one allowed to underachieve every once in a while I suppose. . .

I would say Cal expected to win and were shocked when they got hit in the mouth and did not know how to recover.
