Post ASU blogging plan
(Written by kencraw)
OK, I needed a day just to de-stress and de-disgust myself. Starting today I’ll do my usual post-game blogging. The podcast was recorded after the game on Saturday and I just need to convert and crop it and the such. It should be up later today. I’ll do a game review/recap this evening. Finally, expect a “all the questions that have gone through my mind” post about reasons I’ve thought may be the underlying cause of the 3 game skid.
After that, on to WSU.

Good to hear from you, Ken. We need some of that EMFMV/Ken Crawford optimism to help get thorugh this rough patch!
Jeez, if I recorded a podcast after Saturday’s game it would have top be heavily edited to be put on a family-friendly site. As is, my wife has asked me to stop watching road games at home because of my ranting.

You might not get all that much optimism from me this week Joshiemac. And the only reason the podcast will be considered family friendly is because of lack of language. My tone isn’t very family friendly.
But I’m sure I’ll wrap things up in a family friendly/optimistic way when I’m done… if nothing else than re-setting expectations.

When are we REALLY going to hear what’s going on with Longshore? While we clearly failed to put this game away early, we could do nothing right late even though the offense could clearly move the football.
I just want to go to sleep and wake up on Big Game day to a victory. At least then we’d be bowl eligible. But that’s just my feeling when I’m in pain. Hopefully I’ll be excited again by Friday….

I’ve been very upset the past few weeks over how this season has failed to live up to the lofty expectations I had in August. I’ve been depressed about how this will be another year without the Rose Bowl. I’ve been jealous that a team like Oregon or ASU is having the year I expected Cal to have. To keep myself from going insane I’ve had to bring it back to what really matters, to what I really enjoy about Cal Football. To wit: getting Irish coffees with my dad at Brennan’s on Saturday mornings…putting back a few pitchers and watching other games at Kip’s…walking up Bancroft or through campus on a beautiful fall afternoon/evening…climbing to the upper reaches of section EE to be surrounded by fellow Old Blues and diehard Cal fans…standing as the band comes out in formation…cheering as the team take the field.
Call me a loser, call me someone who isn’t ready for success or someone who isn’t ready to be a fan of a topflight program. But these little moments, as trite as they may seem, make my Cal experience what it is. It’s so much more than wins and losses and roses. And no three game losing streak can ever take those moments away from me.
All of this being said, a win Saturday night would be much appreciated.
