Gameday Thread: TCU vs Cal

[FrogCoach84]

Obviously I’m always rooting for TCU and want us to win and I get excited when we score.

at the same time part of me is a little disappointed. I feel like there might be some value in getting blown out by an average P12 team and even in having a losing season, because it forces Gary to actually evaluate his team, coaches, etc. I can easily see us limping to 7-5 with a bowl win and Gary thinks “good enough” and nothing will change or improve.

Nothing will make him evaluate his coaches.

Well, aggie scored 3 in a half so there's that.

Uh, we have been limpling with NFL talent for 4 years and we just double down with more guys who suck and are a non-threat to gary in his retirement years. There is no re-evaluating going on in the offseason...only guitar practice.

at least we aren’t the Ohio state band leader

RIP their season? They are THE Ohio State University, they could lose several times before being dropped out of the top 10.

This sounds like fan talk, but we need a game like this to work the kinks out and wake the team up. If we squeak this win out…this is a check the box Saturday and may be the team will wake up and be ready next week

Well, unless he gets fired.

 

[Pharm Frog]

Get what you’re saying, but it seems like we’ve whiffed in the past when we really needed to evaluate and make changes.

There’s been no whiffing. Every hire has been purposeful. You just have a different desired outcome.

 

[BrewingFrog]

can he do any more damage than what we saw for the first 20 minutes or so of that half?

(In my fantasy world...) "You. You're fired. Have your crap packed up in a box and be out of the building by 5." Turning to another, "You. You're fired..."

 

[bmoney214]

By who, ADJD???? Lmao. That ain't happening.

He hired Kill to do that. Stunning admission of weakness IMO

"We" may need a game like this, but sitting here in the sunshine with disgruntled fans all around me, I sure don't need a game like this.

you willing to set odds on that because we aren't firing anyone with a freaking statue of them outside the stadium

sure seems to avoid the things he finds uncomfortable

Hopefully we can beat Offweek U.

Cal takes a knee and that is halftime.

Cal taking a knee? Sounds about right.

Statues can come down. Pretty sure it’s a thing now.

except that has happened the last 3 years and nothing has happened

And there it is…comfort is at the top of the real pyramid

 

[BrewingFrog]

I truly wonder. Does GMFP have full-on R. Lee Ermey tirades on coaches? Because Doug Meachem sure as hell needs one.

 

[Froggy Style]

Exactly the same as saying he'll let Cumbie talk about the offense at the presser. YOU'RE responsible...for BOTH sides...and both have been sucking. Problem is, both are stacked with talent.
