May he suffer the same fate!
I guess that only a jackass can beget a jackass!

Trash talking does beget trash talking though.

Just looks like some friendly banter Carter and Treggs to me.

Treggs' father never got the Axe in his four years. May the son follow in the father's footsteps.

Can someone remind be about Treggs? This happened during my time as a student, or perhaps just after I graduated, and I think I remember that he was the one who promised to buy a house in Palo Alto if C.al didn't win the Axe his senior year. Is that right?
Re: Looks like Treggs is every bit the *sshole his dad was - Nan3cy - 07-27-2011
I don't remember anything about buying a house -- but he did pledge to move to Palo Alto if c.al lost Big Game. The Palo Alto city council later passed a resolution absolving Treggs of his pledge, which I've always thought was a nice touch.

This has to be placed in its full context. The 1991 Cal team was pretty good, and they weren't afraid tell anyone. Most of the year, they spent time talking on the field and in the press talking about how good they were. These were the kind of guys who would celebrate after routine receptions. The key culprits were quarterback Mike Pawlawski and WR Brian Treggs. Our coach at the time, Dennis Green, noticed this tendency and instructed the players to keep their mouths shut, which isn't easy Big Game week.
Treggs came out with all these pronouncements about how we didn't have anybody who could him, who could get to Pawlawski, or who could cover the other receivers, Mike Caldwell and Sean Dawkins, who was actually good. He made his now famous pronouncement about how Cal was not going to lose to Stanford, and that if they did, he would move to Palo Alto.
Cal came out of the bus fronting, strutting and talking smack, even before they stepped onto the field. When the game started, the refs started throwing flags. Pawlawski bent over one tackled Stanford player and talked smack. Even the kicker was flagged.
Our players kept about their business, blocking for Tommy Vardell, who ran through them "like crap through a goose."
We won 38-21 (and Pawlawski even blamed the refs on the loss.)
Treggs never beat Stanford. His junior year, we beat Cal in one of the most fantastic finishes in Big Game history.
Oh, and I know one person who hasn't forgotten about this. It's the guy whose father used to find out who the biggest bully was when he went to a new school, and then "popped him in the mouth" so his siblings wouldn't be bothered.

Treggs was simply amusing to me at the time, but I hated Pawlawski with a passion. I vividly remember that play Yvonne describes. The Stanford player had just been tackled out of bounds, and Pawlawski bent over and started screaming at him -- with the official in the immediate vicinity and a few Cal coaches right there as well. He was absolute idiot. The official had no choice but to flag him, and the coaches were completely exasperated -- but they had allowed that level of behavior.
Another fun moment from that game was when Bob Whitfield went down, early in the first quarter, I think. As Stanford trainers attended to him on the field, the Cal bench started taunting him -- an even worse offense than Pawlaski's. So the ABC cameras are zooming in on Whitfield lying flat on the ground, and he chooses that exact moment to respond to the heckling by raising his hand and flipping off the Cal bench. There was no avoiding it, so Brent Musberger cleverly said, "I think Whitfield's telling the Cal bench that he'll be okay." He was already one of my favorite players, but that pretty much clinched it.

And of course, Pawlawski was on the sideline at the time, so he managed to get penalized while not even in the game. Anybody know how many penalties they got that game? Had to be approaching some kind of record.

Perhaps the most amazing aspect of the 1991 Big Game is that both teams were ranked at the time (Stanford 21st, C.al 6th)
The game report from the LA Times (written by then-staff writer Gene Wojciechowski) is a welcome stroll down memory lane.

Nancy, C.al was "only" penalized 11 times, but 7 of them were 15 yarders.
thanks for the Gene Wojo recap - slide - 07-31-2011
I was at the game, and it was telling early that physically we were going to impose our will on the b.ears. in the 2nd half, they knew what play we were going to run and could do nothing about it. I didn't think I'd see that kind of play again after the Ted's Lil Buddy and Wlat's years, but "heavy jumbo" was a nice return to that kind of physical play.

Thanks so much for finding that. Pure gold.
