Washington passing all over the field but Cal holding them out of the EZ.
Marshawn interviewed during the second Q and says the M.F. word. Neither Fleming nor Rodney (two Stanford’s) apologize.
Many NCAA QB’s better than McKee. Sanders at OK State, Rising at Utah great players. Rising,Penix, DTR, Caleb Williams, Nix all better Pac-12 QB’s.
I would try Higgins at RB.
Kelly vastly overrated. Loss of Bonner really hurts. Just beginning to learn how to use his speed advantage.

Yeah I think Kyu is one of those guys who will regret not going to the NFL draft a year earlier. 

Marshawn was right about attendance. I’ve been wondering about this because Cal and Stanford struggle and it isn’t just because quality on the field struggle. Feels like there are other things going on here.

Tough to argue.
Cal's offense looks putrid.

Stanford’s 15 points today could be better than half the other PAC-12 teams playing, if Cal/Washington continues its trend.  Already, we somehow scored more than ASU (duh) and Colorado, and could outscored Cal and Washington.

Well, just as I posted that, Cal scores a TD, but we are still out scoring Cal/Washington combined.  Still think at least one (maybe both) teams will break 15.

After an outburst of scoring in the third quarter, at least one team is guaranteed to outscored us.

Saw that live.  Lynch was talking about the lousy attendance.  Bay Area college football is dead…..

Someone at ESPN dropped the ball. There is, I think at least a 15 second delay. They could have bleeped it out. I think they tried cause there was a noise about. 5 seconds later.

Less than 60K cumulative between Stanford and Cal (tickets sold).  The actual attendance at both stadiums was much lower.  Neither will ever be able to compete at the national level in this era of transfers, NIL, possible direct player compensation, etc.  Should the respective administration’s consider “pulling the plug”?

Marshawn appeared to have issues with UCB that extended beyond game and the attendance. 

That noted, almost every time I see a UCB home game, that does not have Stanford on the field, I too am stunned by the attendance.   UCB is not a school with just a few thousand undergrads or most alums living out of the state.   They literally are THE original UC.   In theory, they should also have millions of CA residents eager to attend their games.

Cal, at least, is a mediocre team, so they have excuses for the bad attendance this season.  UCLA has loads of attendance challenges too and they were undefeated before they visited the team in Eugene. 

Guess one can imply that the alums are all MFers, but last night's crowd was one of the many reasons why the SEC and BigTen get more TV revenue than the remaining Pac-12 teams will get.   

I ultimately stopped watching the game because I was tired of hearing that one Mic girl yell at the small crowd to make noise.

The UCs do not treat their students well, the students do not feel a brobdingnagian sense of pride or connection to the schools after they complete the transaction of getting an education. UC Berkeley struggles in fundraising - although it is vastly better now - because students are like "why on earth would I donate to a place that didn't care about me?" Compare UVA, UMich, UW - they fare much better.

And you know how Cal students and alumni feel?  By all means tell us how?  I never particularly worried about the whether the institution “cared about me.“ What I took out of Cal is a great education, a great time and a great group of friends. So I don’t know what you are talking about.

Time for a few facts regarding fund raising.  Among the premier public universities, UC Berkeley is holding its own.

For example, the current campaign to raise $6 billion by December 2023 has yielded $5.968 billion to date.

Michigan raised $5.280 billion against a target of $4.0 billion in a campaign that ended in 2018.
Washington raised $4.930 billion against a target of $5.0 billion in a campaign that ended in 2020.

(note: I was not certain whether the poster’s UW reference was to UDub or Wisconsin.  Since there are no recent campaigns for Wisconsin noted in the data I reviewed, I selected Washington. Also, I could find no record of any recent fund raising campaigns by UVa).

As far as, “The UC’s do not treat their students well”, I must beg to differ.  In fact, the UC’s provide an outstanding education.  My wife and I and older daughter are all grads of a UC campus.  All three of us believe the quality of the educational experience was superior.  Personally, I didn’t care how the University treated me, I wasn’t there to be cuddled, I was there to earn a degree.

Wow, a heated discussion not on Shaw or the Slow Mesh, but rather on the treatment of students and alumni by the UC system and the fundraising prowess of said UC schools.

I have no dog (or kitten) in this fight, but, I read the pseudo OPs post to refer to the UC system schools in general (not just Cal, Lex) and the connection to the students post graduation, not during their stay on campus. 

Watching Penn State's white out last night, I have to think there must be something wrong at Cal to not connect well enough with the hundreds of thousands of alumni within an hour drive of Strawberry Canyon that they leave it two thirds empty.

It’s also possible that for many (most) UC students, and, for that matter Stanford students, their connection to the school doesn’t flow through football.

Or, put another way, is the connection by students to UCLA any stronger than the connection to UCSB (which doesn’t have a D1 football team)?  Is the connection to Chicago or MIT or Harvard weaker than to Stanford, just because the latter has a P5 football team and the others either don’t have football or have a FCS team that doesn’t dole out scholarships?  Certainly, going on what Giants had to report, you’d think that if football had that big of an impact that Michigan’s campaign would crush Cal’s, but it doesn’t.

That being said, applications to Georgia are at record levels (I know, my son is one of them).

Lex is my hero, a Bear who loves Stanford football, not necessarily the school.
