GAME THREAD - Colorado at Cal 5pm MT (P12N)

[seattlebuff]

**** JMac. Bye bye douchebag. That garbage head shaking and hand waving shows him for the bitch that he is. On the 2nd INT he made ZERO attempt to catch the ball. Now he and Cody Hawkins can go play catch in the backyard like the big boys do!

 

[Bourbon Buff]

It's years like this that I'm glad those east coast sportswriters don't stay up to watch the PAC 12 games.

 

[slider]

I still cringe when fans thank MM for "rebuilding" us and making us sooo much better.

 

[HotRack]

Well, @SpacemanSpiff , your streak is over.
Or was it over before bit even started?
Bring on Dana!

 

[The Alabaster Yak]

Man there are a lot of accusations in this thread that are based on more of a mob mentality then reality.

Agreed. I'm part of it and would like to retract.

Tough season and tough game.

 

[DBT]

JMac had a good, solid career here. He suffered at least two concussions this year. Don’t throw away all the good things he did because if one game. A game that had to be very emotional for him.

I cannot fathom how we lost that game. FIVE? Five freaking turnovers? How is that even possible? Cal did almost nothing on offense and we still lose??? Furk!

I agree. Thankful for the great efforts he gave during his career here. That said, he didn't want to be out there tonight and it showed.

as far as im concerned the "gratitude" for the job he did shows up in his bank account

 

[PAHIBuff]

And we now return you to your regularly scheduled life.

 

[liverflukes]

Thank you for all the extra points and penalties. Probably wouldn't have scored without the assistance. We tried our best to "coug" it for you but it just was not to be.

Good luck with your new coaching hire and may you have a good recruiting cycle.

He wasn’t the only guy who didn’t want to be out there.

True. But I would also say that this game was a microcosm of the season and the type of team we have. People saying there is p,enty in the cupboard for the next coach need to reassess. Our OL is straight bad, our RBs are mediocre, our DBs are just not very good and our QB is hugely overrated.

 

[OUBuff]

I swear that is what I saw too. He has fought for dozens of passes harder than that.

I don't think he tried to drop it, but he certainly didn't try to catch it either.

Congrats Flukes. Good luck against Furd.

And I am suddenly partially cheered up!!!

 

[GawainBuff]

And... four were in the first half, right?

no thanks for the gazillion turnovers?

 

[Ralfie]

And we now return you to your regularly scheduled life.

That's the thing - I look forward to CFB season and watching the Buffs all year....now it's over and I can't say I enjoyed it this year. Except 'braska. I enjoyed the Husker game. ASU and UCLA weren't bad, but not particularly inspired wins. Ever since ASU my enjoyment has been flatly lower than it would have been if I had spent that time doing something more productive with my Saturday.

 

[DBT]

Only 280 days to go!!

OL needs some Recruiting, heck yeah
RB's need to see what they have in Fontenot and the others, and maybe another Grad Transfer
The QB Room is loaded with some really good QB's

The right coach can come in and win at least 6-7 games, although I am just praying that we can beat the Huskers again!!!

Ok, but that has nothing to do with Jay Mac and accusations that he’s purposely dogging it and not catching passes because he’s made about his dad. Calling somebody’s ingetrity and character out like that is a pretty serious claim, especially when it’s a kid like Jay who has been a great player for CU.

Good game, Flukes! Please note that I did not indicate when you were going to get it.

 

[HotRack]

Hey fellas - just remember...
WE ALWAYS HAVE NEBRASKA!

 

[TDforTD]

MM turned us into a higher quality G5 team, which was an improvement, but still nowhere near good enough. There is some serious talent in places (thanks in large part to Chev) but there’s still so little depth and we are so weak in a lot of the areas that really matter. The team could give a heck of a fight to a lot of teams in the nation, but ultimately there’s just not enough talent, speed, size, etc to get them over the hump playing almost exclusively a P5 schedule, which is how you could define most good G5 teams.

Frustrating season but I’m glad it’s over and I’m hopeful that we can recruit a ton more like 2017 (and better) than what MM did the rest of the time here. No more classes in the ****ing 60s and 70s.

 

[GawainBuff]

Watching ND v USC. Reminds me of what blocking looks like. Doesn’t even have to be for long. Just good positioning and wide base. Geez.

 

[Daaah]

Hey fellas - just remember...
WE ALWAYS HAVE NEBRASKA!

Yeah. That's gonna be a pretty big game for the new coach.

 

[NYCGOBEARS!]

Thanks, you have a hell of a half a team. What is the plan to get a real offense?

First, Beau Baldwin needs to go. Want him? I wouldn’t suggest it. I like you guys. We seriously need to recruit better talent on offense and this staff has not been able to do that at all. Hopefully, we can get a competent big time OC and convince some kids to come to Berkeley with the combo of early PT and an amazing defense.

Watch it at full speed. I stand by what I saw initially and previously in the game. In hindsight, it's likely he just wasn't all there tonight which is to be expected.
