5) Tedford has never gotten blown out by a team more than once (actually it's only happened 3 times TOTAL in 5 years as far as I remember). Nor has tedford lost in back to back years to any team, but USC.

2. Experience matters most at QB and ours is not only more experienced, but better.
3. Yeah, we will be amibivalent, given it's our opener
4. Doesn't deserve a response due to absurdity
5. He won't be playing | |

5. He won't be playing | 1. Couldn't be more untrue - Cal was undefeated at home in 2004 and 2006 and beat the national champions at home in 2003. The only major game tedford has ever lost at home was SC in 2005 when our backup QB threw 4 ints.
2. Remains to be seen. But even if we assume ainge is better your passing game certainly wont be better the first game of the season with new WRs compared to our experienced studs. | |

2. Ainge is better and we wouldn't even remotely consider trading our receiving corps for yours. | |

Phil wouldn't even consider trading. | |

Desean Jackson 59 Rec, 1060 Yds, 18 ypr, 9 Td
Lavelle Hawkins 46 Rec, 705 Yds, 15.3 ypr, 5 Td
Robert Jordan 46 Rec, 571 Yds, 12.4 ypr, 4 TDs
Brad Cottam 14 Rec, 182 Yds, 13 ypr, 0 Tds
Lucas Taylor 13 Rec, 101 Yds, 7.2 ypr, 0 Tds
Austin Rogers 5 Rec, 69 Yds, 13.8 ypr, 0 Tds
You are right. Tedford would trade in a heartbeat. 
This is the first game of the season remember. What group would you rather have?
