The UCB claims that this three consecutive replay sequence was in any way critical is hilarious.
UCB could have earned 14 points on that play and it still would have changed NOTHING. If Stanford had a 10 point lead going into the fourth quarter I am checking my phone to see when I will get to ride BART out of town. Not a single worry for me.
The idea that the score COULD have been 31-14 was not at all a concern. 3 different scores in the fourth quarter on Shaw's team? By UCB? Without Stanford scoring too? Are we serious? If UCB was Oregon I might be concerned. No other program in the country would make me worry about it for even a minute.
But hey, if I am a lousy coach that clearly can't beat any of the upper or middle tier Pac-12 teams I also might want to focus on anything else to keep my plum multi-million dollar salary.
The field was wet! The blimp was distracting. Their band was too noisy. Our wealth alums need to stop eating those free wings and get back to their seat to support the team! The referees are bad! It is not fair that they wore white when our staff had the same color! etc. etc. Anything really to make sure that no one questions why the worst offense in the Pac-12 looked like as prolific as the Oregon Ducks even without their #1 playmaker on the field.
