2014 Cal predictions

http://www.californiagoldenblogs.com/2014/7/31/5895985/14-predictions-for-the-2014-season

The offensive slant to these predictions is sort of telling. Are the Bears really going to put up those kinds of numbers this year? If so, they could make a bowl.

 

The goldenblogs is the biggest collection of homers and apologists on the planet. They literally didn't want tedford gone until the end of 2012. even then they wrote long articles thanking him for all he's done. They also supported our idiot AD 100%.

I expect cal to go 2-10. The offense and defense will probably be better, but the defense will still give up 35 points a game. This is still an offense that ranked last in the pac-12 in points and last in yards per attempt. And cal lost most games by 3+ tds. so even a vastly improved team could still not go much better than 3-9. if cal beats northwestern maybe we will have a prayer at a bowl, but I doubt we'll beat them even though northwestern stinks. The schedule is very easy early. So cal better go at least 3-1, if not 4-0 to have any prayer at a bowl.

 

Avatar bet. If Cal wins more than 2 games, I get to pick your avatar for a week. If Cal wins less than 3 games, you get to pick mine for a week. Deal?

 

my prediction:








pain

 

What is the watershed game of the season? I don't think it is Northwestern. I think it is Colorado.

 

Watershed, or Waterloo?

 

Sure

 

So it is written, so it shall be.

 

Definitely northwestern. This team has no confidence and there's lots of bad blood between northwestern and cal and northwestern stinks. Lose that game and the sac state game might be up for grabs.

 

I could have this bet one before the end of September.

 

I think Northwestern is going to have a bounce-back year. Not sure that they stink.

 

If they don't win that many by then, it's not going to happen.

 

They lost their top rb and wr a couple of weeks ago and the big 10 stinks yet they won one conference game last year. Their qb is mediocre too. Cal probably has better talent frankly and certainly will have the better qb.

 

So now Cal is a favorite in your mind?


Mwahaha, checkmate negabear.

 

cal having the better talent hasn't mattered much for at least 30 years. so I doubt it's going to start mattering now.

 

Wasn't last year the first year with your coach?

 

yes and despite a roster filled with 4 stars he lost by 3 tds to Colorado.

 

That is why I see that as an important game, in terms of gaining ground in the conference.

 

well you have two very winnable games before that. so if you lose those games, or god forbid get blown out in both of them, the team will fold pretty damn quickly. Colorado will be absolutely terrible though. so we might squeak out a victory against them and go 2-10. if you want more than 2 wins we better beat either northwestern or Arizona to gain some confidence for the harder later schedule.

 

Ain't beating Arizona.
