@GhostofGarbers I don't think there's any world we're 7-0 without the defense taking a solid step forward. I still have some trauma from the Duke & SMU games last year.
I’ll tip anyone $100 who can grab & mail me a helmet + pac 12 jersey today (& I’ll cover the purchase price and shipping, of course). Plus a pic of my wife’s feet.
1 year later and its looking like the streak continues. I know we won't fire Madsen this year, and I'm not ready to pull that trigger, but there can't be any doubt in 2027. It's just not that much to ask to be a top 68 team.
The expectation in year 3 of Madsen has to be a tournament appearance. It would be a big step from this year but there's no excuse for not having enough time. Wilkinson coming back would be a nice step towards that goal.
Against currently ranked teams, Cal has 1 win (UNC), 1 almost competitive game (Duke), and entirely uninspired performances against Louisville, Virginia, and Clemson. Not playing like a team that wants to make the tournament.
Disasterclass from Camden today
0-5
Missed a critical front end on a 1-1
Game sealing Turnover
Brutal loss for Cal in a very winnable game and tournament odds get smaller
