Cal was 3rd in the nation in sacks allowed last year and that was with an inexperienced line. You had what 2 sacks last year? Longshore didn't look great in HIS FIRST EVER start. I'll give you that. He was a monster most of the rest of season. He was injured against SC and UA and played accordingly. If you expect the same QB you saw last year you will be very very disapointed.

and btw: hawkins had an offer from tenn out of high school. Jackson turned down LSU, SC, and Oklahoma to come to cal.

He would be on the sidelines at all of those schools.

there isn't a school in the country that wouldn't be starting jackson. Not only does he hold the single season record for punts returned for TDs but he also averages 18 yards per reception. wake up people, there are some quality players outside the SEC.

Oh, I get it now. You think Cal could beat UT in a virtual game. I now see you in an entirely different light.

I agree BigPapa. Cal is really good in my ncaa video game. They may even be able to beat good teams.

droski · 03-22-2007, 05:56 PM

hmmm looks like desean turned down tenn too. Guess you guys wanted him so he would ride the bench like LSU and SC did.

DeSean Jackson - Football Recruiting

I'm not gonna lie, I would love to have DeSean Jackson, who wouldn't? But I was just gonna point out something... He was considering UT, but he only got offers from, Cal, ASU, LSU, USC, and OU. Not a bad group either.

BigPapaVol · 03-22-2007, 06:05 PM

This is typical, droski. Arguing that you have one player who could play at schools where they actually play football is very similar to your typical argument about being tied against great teams 12 seconds into the game. Nobody cares. Win some games that matter and you'll have a debate.

ok, i don't have a rivals membership so I didn't see that he officially got an offer. looking at your commits that year he would have been your best WR of the class by a mile.

and as for the "why didn't he or your other WRs do anything against us" question that will come soon i'm sure. . . Cal's wide receivers we running free most of the first half (I saw this clearly from my nosebleed seats). Nate just didn't see them.

So Cal's victory over Michigan State 4 years back is your guys claim to fame over the band incident?

I was soley reponding to the "jackson wouldn't see the field at LSU, SC, etc" comment. Or the "cal is SC's whipping boy" comment. Make some accurate slams on cal and I wont disagree.

Huh? How about Tedford's bowl wins over BYU, Texas A&M, and virgina tech.
