The score was actually in line with my 42-17 expectations, and yet it was still hard to watch.
The entire team played better than last week, so I have some hope that against a weaker Pac-12 opponent things might be OK.

As this game is over it is time for me to remember that our program may be having a bad season, but...
I have been to 4 Rose Bowl games, I have watched my team win 2 Rose Bowl games.
That's quite a bit better than anything alums of that other Bay Area football team can claim.

And....we have the Axe.

Hate to tell ya,  but next week's opponent is SUPERIOR to Stanford and will be favored.

They both stink. If McKee plays it’s a toss up.  If not, Stanford gets thrashed.

We will see how much practice the UCBers get this week.   This type of lost week has been really disruptive for teams in other sports.   All of the Bears with COVID are all on schedule to play on Nov 20th.  If UCB had a normal bye week they would be in a good position, but this past week was not a normal bye.
 
If McKee plays I am hopeful.   I suspect the UCB fans will be optimistic, but even with the promising October this season has been a disappointment for UCB fans too.    In my 30+ years watching Big Game Cal has been favored to win a lot more often then they have actually won.  I would be very happy to add 2021 to that tally.

If McKee is not playing.   It could be a long afternoon.
