12:28 – [Calbearsfan: Hi Ken, Jason, hope it was a good week for you both]

12:28 – Jason: This game is brought to you by Aidell’s Chicken-Apple Sausage.

12:29 – Jason: For TV fans, it looks like DirecTV is going to put the game on the SD channel (aka Ken’s Channel) from the start.

12:29 – Jason: Or, the alternate. 697a.

12:31 – Ken: Woohoo! Standard def. No more off screen content for me 🙂

12:32 – Jason: ah, I’ve got it in HD. Fancy.

12:32 – [Calbearsfan: i have a nervous feeling for this game]

12:32 – Jason: It’s live on CSN Bay Area, so we all get to see it.

12:33 – Ken: Who are these chumps doing the commentary? Why has Petros been demoted to the sideline?

12:34 – [Calbearsfan: Everytime they say half brothers – we drink]

12:34 – ESPN_Pac12blog: Checking in from early games – http://es.pn/r1OTg9 [via Twitter]

12:34 – Ken: I can’t be responsible for alcohol poisoning CBF

12:35 – [Calbearsfan: i have 12 bottles of water in front of me 🙂]

12:36 – [katster: Ken: is water poisoning okay? 😉]

12:36 – Jason: Here’s a tip. If you are giving away free cell phones with a haircut, you’re doing it wrong.

12:37 – crumpackeroncal: Lots ‘o purple here at Husky Stadium for Cal-Washington. Cal captains this week are Schwartz, Jones, Holt and Guyton.#calfb [via Twitter]

12:37 – [Curt: Nothing standing between me an total inebriation.]

12:37 – [Curt: Crap. They just had to show that Portland State score, didn’t they?]

12:38 – OkanesonCal: Cal’s captains are left tackle Mitchell Schwartz, wide receiver Marvin Jones, linebacker D.J. Holt and defensive end Trevor Guyton. [via Twitter]

12:39 – [Sean: Go bears! I hope this game doesn’t get me as close to a coronary as the Colorado game.]

12:39 – [Curt: It was 3-3 with three minutes left in the half. Then the Big Sky kicked in.]

12:39 – [katster: I couldn’t see it. How bad was it?]

12:39 – [Sean: I cannot wait til next year when I won’t have to stream all of these games online.]

12:40 – OkanesonCal: Cal won the coin toss and deferred. Washington will receive. [via Twitter]

12:41 – [Curt: Fire at Husky Stadium!]

12:42 – [3 Fatalistic Fans: Go bears! We are enjoying watching a Cal game while drinking soft drinks that cost less than $6.50]

12:42 – [Calbearsfan: come on defense!]

12:42 – Jason: Yes, I am having a Diet Mountain Dew from a box of 12. VALUE.

12:43 – ESPN_Pac12blog: UCLA WR Rosario went soft on that one, eh…. did he think about the first down? [via Twitter]

12:43 – ESPN_Pac12blog: James Rodgers! [via Twitter]

12:44 – Ken: Nice composure and delivery by the QB. Hopefully he’s not doing that all day.

12:44 – [katster: yeah, that’s the way to defend the screen!]

12:44 – [Calbearsfan: OMG THEY LEARNED TO DEFEND THE BUBBLE]

12:44 – [katster: …but that’s *not* how you defend the pass.]

12:45 – Sean: Nice to see them bottle up Polk like that

12:45 – Jason: Uni Watch: I like this look. White over yellow. Also, nice tackle.

12:45 – Ken: OK, that was a good sniff out on the screen.

12:45 – Calbearsfan: UH OH someone is down

12:46 – [Guest: marc anthony is bringing the wood today…]

12:46 – [LANYBear: marc anthony is an angry man today]

12:46 – OkanesonCal: CB Marc Anthony with two big plays on Washington’s first drive. [via Twitter]

12:46 – Ken: Just what the Bears needed, forcing a punt on the first possession.

12:47 – Jason: Okay, good D, Bears. Just the one play.

12:47 – [katster: Alright Bears. Let’s do something now.]

12:47 – [Calbearsfan: why did he catch that….]

12:47 – Jason: It’s a good question.

12:47 – [Sean: Guess he didn’t like getting burned by Richardson.]

12:47 – [LANYBear: i see MJ’s questionable fair catching routine continues…]

12:47 – Ken: Nice start for Isi… I’d love to see that all day.

12:47 – [Calbearsfan: ISI]

12:47 – [katster: first down for Sofele, or right close.]

12:48 – Jason: ugh

12:48 – [Curt: Ouch!]

12:48 – Jason: The snap problems return.

12:48 – Jason: I like Allen falling on it. Good man.

12:48 – [Calbearsfan: OMG]

12:48 – [Calbearsfan: what is going on]

12:48 – ESPN_Pac12blog: RT @CliffGT: Rodgers gets his first catch for 31 yards and a first down. [via Twitter]

12:48 – [Sean: Whomp]

12:49 – Jason: Goooooooooo

12:49 – Jason: wow.

12:49 – Ken: YES!

12:49 – [LANYBear: talk about a drive-killer]

12:49 – OkanesonCal: More shotgun snap problems results in14-yard loss. [via Twitter]

12:49 – Jason: ….or setting up the 90 yard TD

12:49 – [katster: TOUCHDOWN!]

12:49 – [Curt: TD, falling for 30 yeards]

12:49 – [katster: KEENAN ALLEN!]

12:49 – Ken: I thought for sure that punch out attempt was going to work.

12:49 – [3 Fatalistic Fans: 90 years!]

12:49 – [LANYBear: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO]

12:50 – [Calbearsfan: OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG]

12:50 – [Amyable: I love you Keenan!]

12:50 – [Curt: Is it too late to update my Pick ‘Em scores?]

12:50 – Ken: CBF… get read to chug!

12:50 – [Sean: Omg!!!! Badass!]

12:50 – [LANYBear: how do you lose track of the best player on our team on 3rd and 22?]

12:50 – Jason: DVR time

12:51 – Ken: It’s the half brother cloaking device Lany. 🙂

12:51 – Jason: That was a great play.

12:51 – [Sean: Allen went into ninja mode]

12:51 – Jason: Also great ball skills to have it firmly grasped when 28 came to hit it out before he got to the goal line.

12:51 – [Calbearsfan: LOL]

12:51 – [LANYBear: ken, combining harry potter AND cal football? my head may explode]

12:51 – crumpackeroncal: Wow! Maynard throws 90-yd TD pass to Allen on 3rd-and-20. Allen makes defender look silly, outruns another to end zone. Again, wow!#calfb [via Twitter]

12:52 – Jason: Cal’s Quidditch team can’t be beat.

12:52 – OkanesonCal: 90-yard TD catch by Keenan Allen is the longest reception in Cal history. [via Twitter]

12:52 – Ken: Uhhh… sure, Lany, that’s what I’m doing I’ve read all of those, um, books ;-P

12:52 – [katster: 90 yards. Wow.]

12:52 – ESPN_Pac12blog: RT @OkanesonCal: 90-yard TD catch by Keenan Allen is the longest reception in Cal history. [via Twitter]

12:52 – crumpackeroncal: And that’s the longest TD reception in school history, Maynard-to-Allen. Took some steam out of this crowd.#calfb [via Twitter]

12:52 – [katster: That’s the way to get to a hundred yards, Keenan. 😉]

12:53 – Ken: I’m a bit surprised that’s the case. Longest ever?

12:53 – Ken: OK, defense, don’t let up. Now’s the time to assert yourself.

12:53 – [katster: of course, kickoff coverage isn’t the best.]

12:53 – [Calbearsfan: still dont know how i feel about special teams…]

12:54 – [LANYBear: our DL is playing pretty well so far]

12:54 – Jason: Coverage.

12:54 – Jason: big plays.

12:54 – [3 Fatalistic Fans: OK that should not have happened]

12:54 – ESPN_Pac12blog: Oregon State drives right down field vs. UCLA…. first and goal on 5. But fumble. Is this one going to be a slop fest? [via Twitter]

12:54 – Jason: two guys back there.

12:55 – Jason: same damned thing

12:55 – Ken: That was too easy.

12:55 – ESPN_Pac12blog: wait… Oregon state recovered. [via Twitter]

12:55 – Jason: Are they coming up to protect against the QB run?

12:55 – Jason: Because… that’s not smart.

12:55 – [Calbearsfan: 🙁]

12:55 – [Curt: Hopefully this track meet won’t interfere with coverage of the Cal/Washington game scheduled today.]

12:55 – Ken: Looks like they’re over concerned with the scramble and are losing track of their assignements downfield

12:55 – [LANYBear: another missed sack…]

12:55 – [NoBetterThanSolid: how do we not get the sack there…]

12:55 – ESPN_Pac12blog: TV screwed me up… 3-0 Beavers. [via Twitter]

12:56 – Jason: Yes, agreed Ken, they’re running up and leaving the WRs open. Bad, bad, bad.

12:56 – ESPN_Pac12blog: Washington and Cal tied at 7-7… missed the Huskies TD. [via Twitter]

12:56 – [katster: Okay. We’ll survive.]

12:56 – [LANYBear: chris mccain missed that sack… crap]

12:56 – Ken: It’s feeling like the over might have been the right way to go in Vegas.

12:57 – ESPN_Pac12blog: Buckeyes up 7-0 vs. Colorado [via Twitter]

12:57 – [vodka: ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh]

12:57 – [handleofvodka: ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, i am worried]

12:57 – Ken: OK, I found the problem. The baby was wearing red. Never fear, we’ve put a Cal shirt over it… we’ll be back on track now.

12:58 – Jason: You know what makes giving up two big plays in the first two drives not hurt so bad? Having your own big play and it being 7-7.

12:58 – Jason: Defensive struggle in Seattle.

12:58 – ESPN_Pac12blog: RT @ESPN_BigTen: Ohio State pounds it on the ground – http://es.pn/r5IRqa [via Twitter]

12:58 – crumpackeroncal: Way to capitalize on momentum, Bears. Horrendous pass defense leads to Wash. TD pass, Price to tight end and the score is tied.#calfb [via Twitter]

12:58 – Jason: In that the defenses are struggling.

12:59 – Jason: I hope the secondary is being lectured to right now… mental mistakes.

12:59 – Jason: Wow, a Joe Roth record that fell.

12:59 – Jason: Let’s just have every play in the game be a long pass from here on out.

12:59 – [Curt: Time for another half-brother connection. There, I said it.]

12:59 – ESPN_Pac12blog: RT @TheCoolSub: First-time starter Sean Mannion 5-for-8 for 75 yards on first OSU drive. #UCLA defense again looks lost. [via Twitter]

12:59 – Jason: DRINK!

1:00 – [handleofvodka: DRINK]

1:00 – [Calbearsfan: Drinking]

1:00 – [katster: Yeah, the longest pass play in California history before Maynard-Allen was Roth-Walker for 88 yards in 1978.]

1:00 – [Curt: My coffee is empty!]

1:00 – Jason: So is my Diet Mountain Dew can.

1:00 – Jason: Ugh. A drop.

1:00 – [handleofvodka: oh god i’m gonna start puking]

1:01 – Ken: I don’t think that would have been a 1st down either way.

1:01 – ESPN_Pac12blog: 1st Colorado turnover of year, if you can believe it [via Twitter]

1:01 – [handleofvodka: blarrrgggggggggggg]

1:01 – [Curt: Might wanna try using both hands. Just sayin’]

1:01 – [Calbearsfan: rugby punt]

1:02 – Jason: I dunno, Ken, they’ve shown some ability to get that extra yard after the catch.

1:02 – Ken: You can tell budgets are tight. Cal hasn’t changed its promo ad in what, 4 years?

1:02 – [handleofvodka: ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]

1:03 – ESPN_Pac12blog: RT @CliffGT: Looks like OLB Rueben Robinson started in place of Michael Doctor. Doctor has not even rotated in, yet. [via Twitter]

1:03 – ESPN_Pac12blog: RT @CliffGT: UCLA strikes quick through the air and go up on OSU 7-3. [via Twitter]

1:03 – [katster: I still like ‘OUR DOMICILE!’]

1:03 – Jason: Headline: Oregon won the Pac-12 last year.

1:03 – Jason: That is a heck of a headline.

1:04 – Jason: Headline: We don’t know who will win this year!

1:04 – Jason: BREAKING NEWS.

1:04 – [katster: snap infraction?]

1:04 – Jason: The center basically fumbled the snap before he could snap it.

1:04 – Jason: It’s like a balk in baseball.

1:04 – ESPN_Pac12blog: Buffs defense does a good job, holds Ohio State to FG. Hartigan sack key play. But 10-0 Buckeyes. [via Twitter]

1:05 – [katster: Ah, okay. THat makes sense.]

1:05 – ESPN_Pac12blog: RT @AdamMayaOCR: Brehaut hits Smith on 62-yard bomb, then Embree on 22-yd TD. So that’s what a quarterback looks like. Good call, Neuheisel. [via Twitter]

1:05 – Jason: Nice tackling on that play. Multiple waves getting the runner down. I like.

1:06 – Jason: And good run there by the QB, including the dumb fake pitch that they bit on. He’s way past the line, foks…..

1:06 – [katster: dammit bears. You gotta stop the QB.]

1:06 – [LANYBear: gawd]

1:06 – ESPN_Pac12blog: Great third and 10 scramble by Keith Price… but anyone else get nervous seeing him on the run with bum knees? [via Twitter]

1:06 – Jason: Almost got the ball.

1:06 – Jason: DO NOT LIKE.

1:06 – [Calbearsfan: not wrapping up]

1:07 – Jason: Where is that defense I remember from a couple of minutes ago? 😉

1:07 – Ken: This missing the QB in the backfield thing has to stop. Too many missed opportunities.

1:07 – [3 Fatalistic Fans: There are holes in this defense where there are also defenders. What gives?]

1:08 – Jason: Snap infraction?

1:08 – Jason: Oh please oh please oh please….

1:08 – Jason: And no.

1:08 – [Curt: Someone’s half-brother jumped offside. Oh god!]

1:08 – Ken: Boy it sure took them a long time to decide on that

1:09 – [LANYBear: this is bringing back bad memories of nevada…]

1:10 – [katster: It’s the purple.]

1:10 – [Calbearsfan: DEF needs to settle down]

1:10 – [Calbearsfan: offsides]

1:10 – Jason: ugh

1:10 – Ken: Penalties. Will. Kill. You.

1:10 – GoldenBlogs: Clancy is mixing things up. Stunt on 1st down. Shifted Kendricks outside and then blitzed on 2nd. But McClure lines up offsides. [via Twitter]

1:10 – [katster: dammit bears.]

1:10 – [LANYBear: and another missed opportunity to hit price]

1:11 – GoldenBlogs: UW threatening. Big run by Polk gives them 1st and 10 at the 16. [via Twitter]

1:11 – Jason: Wow, this defensive performance is not looking good.

1:11 – Jason: And Polk is looking good.

1:11 – [3 Fatalistic Fans: This is painful]

1:11 – [katster: *facepalm*]

1:11 – Jason: Oh, are you kidding me?

1:11 – [LANYBear: hmm, don’t think it’s the purple katster… i think it’s the terrible tackling and pass coverage]

1:12 – GoldenBlogs: Williams flagged for PI covering Kearse in the end zone. 1st and goal from the 2. #boguscall [via Twitter]

1:12 – Jason: And, there we go.

1:12 – Ken: That was a weak PI call… and then the practically guaranteed TD as a result.

1:13 – ESPN_Pac12blog: Chris Polk short TD run gives Huskies 14-7 lead over California… Very impressive drive from Huskies, but 3 Cal penalties helped. [via Twitter]

1:13 – GoldenBlogs: Polk pounds it in. 14-7 UW. Penalties helped the Dawgs on this drive. Huskies won the trenches. Time for Maynard to answer. #gobears [via Twitter]

1:13 – [LANYBear: uh, that is a bogus call]

1:13 – [LANYBear: hey look, ANOTHER missed tackle]

1:13 – [Curt: Not … even … close to pass interference.]

1:13 – Jason: I guess you can’t touch a guy when he’s receiving the ball. At all. Even a little.

1:14 – ESPN_Pac12blog: RT @ShelleyESPN: Dennis Erickson on why he gets fired up for USC? “Because we haven’t won in freaking 11 times.” [via Twitter]

1:14 – Jason: I don’t agree with that at all.

1:14 – [3 Fatalistic Fans: Where do I text for the “I want Cal to go to the Rose Bowl in my lifetime” dream?]

1:14 – Jason: Just call Jeff Bridges.

1:14 – OkanesonCal: Cal’s defense looking overwhelmed by Washington’s hurry-up offense. [via Twitter]

1:14 – Ken: There’s only one team playing with heart today and they aren’t wearing any yellow.

1:15 – [3 Fatalistic Fans: That sounded painful!]

1:15 – [Calbearsfan: These commentators suck]

1:15 – ESPN_Pac12blog: Mannion throws pick right at UCLA LB Sean Westgate… Bruins get early momentum shift. [via Twitter]

1:15 – GoldenBlogs: Great leaping catch by Jones give Cal a 1st down at the 35. Better field position at last. [via Twitter]

1:15 – [LANYBear: great catch on a pretty mediocre throw]

1:15 – [3 Fatalistic Fans: Drink!]

1:15 – [Curt: I need help: Flip over to the Okie St/Texas A&M game. What color are OSU’s pants?]

1:16 – crumpackeroncal: 3 penalties on Cal defense help Washington on TD drive to take lead at 14-7. Not a good sign.#calfb [via Twitter]

1:16 – [LANYBear: i’m sick of watching replays of sean cattouse missing a tackle or an assignment]

1:16 – GoldenBlogs: UW’s best DE Jamora is being helped off the field. Hobbling. [via Twitter]

1:16 – Jason: Sorry Curt, couldn’t get a good look

1:16 – Ken: Sofele is running pretty well today.

1:17 – Jason: Nice run by Sofele there. Got to do some running. I keep feeling like Cal gets panicky with its playcalling and goes all pass too fast…

1:17 – [Calbearsfan: Pac-12 Commish should send a note about faking injuries]

1:17 – GoldenBlogs: Sofele with a 14 yard scamper takes it the 49. Nice vision on that. Good blocks by Cheadle and MSG. Roll on you Bears! [via Twitter]

1:17 – [AlohaBear: Sofele has had a couple of decent runs so far]

1:17 – [LANYBear: wow… one marvin jones block away from a TD]

1:18 – [3 Fatalistic Fans: Time for a nice pass]

1:18 – [Sean: Good running a good blocking on this drive]

1:18 – [Calbearsfan: need to keep running]

1:18 – GoldenBlogs: Bears are driving. 5yd run from Sofele. 7yd screen to Debo. Into UW territory! [via Twitter]

1:18 – Jason: You don’t need to add syllables to Covaughn Deboskie-Johnson.

1:18 – [katster: Hey, it’s a CDJ sighting!]

1:18 – [Calbearsfan: wow were using CDB???]

1:18 – Jason: Covaughn DeBoskie Key Johnson Jr. III Esquire

1:18 – [LANYBear: he’s out of the doghouse?!]

1:18 – [Calbearsfan: bring out BAM BAM BIGELOWWWWWWWWWWW]

1:19 – Jason: uh, ref, his knee was down two yards earlier.

1:19 – [Sean: Lol I was thinking the same thing Jason]

1:19 – [Curt: Spelled just like it sounds.]

1:19 – ESPN_Pac12blog: How is Andrew Luck distributing the ball? – http://es.pn/p39zlL [via Twitter]

1:19 – Jason: Another too-high catch brought in.

1:20 – Jason: Good on ya, Marvin.

1:20 – [katster: Jones with the nice catch!]

1:20 – Jason: Hits him in stride, could’ve gained more…

1:20 – [3 Fatalistic Fans: Nice catch!]

1:20 – [Curt: Marvin Jones is no one’s half-brother.]

1:20 – Jason: DRINK!

1:20 – GoldenBlogs: Clever playcalling sets up a third and long. Maynard to Jones for 15yds. Great leaping grab by #1. Onto the 2nd quarter, still 14-7 UW. [via Twitter]

1:21 – [LANYBear: good thing we have tall qb’s…]

1:21 – [Calbearsfan: Drinking]

1:21 – [Sean: It’s amazing how they pull those in, but the easy ones get dropped]

1:21 – [LANYBear: i hope this long drive is giving general pendergast some time to adjust his gameplan]

1:21 – Jason: Curt, those Okie St pants just look gray.

1:21 – Jason: Even my non-colorblind wife says so.

1:21 – [handleofvodka: i guess we’ll just have to ADDDJUUUSTTTTT]

1:22 – [Curt: Okla State should apply to join the Pac 12. Oh … wait.]

1:22 – [Calbearsfan: Marvin Jones has been eating way too many ]

1:23 – Jason: Helps him jump

1:24 – Jason: Beautiful run. Good blocking, nice cutback. I am liking these runs.

1:24 – [3 Fatalistic Fans: Well, the Cal line *was* brought to you by KFC]

1:24 – Ken: Bears really need a TD here. A field goal just won’t cut it for the momentum shift we need.

1:24 – Jason: They can’t all be 90 yard pass plays.

1:24 – [katster: nice run, sofele!]

1:24 – [Amyable: Sofele is awesome today!]

1:24 – Ken: And 1st and “goal” from the 11 is as tough as it comes.

1:24 – GoldenBlogs: Sofele running like a man possessed. Takes 2nd and 10 and runs off left tackle for a 1st down. [via Twitter]

1:25 – [Curt: Matriculate that ball.]

1:25 – [LANYBear: sofele is channeling some justin forsett right now]

1:25 – [Amyable: The commentators are in love with the Huskies and it is very very annoying]

1:25 – ESPN_Pac12blog: RT @TheCoolSub: #UCLA more active on defense in last two #OSU drives than it has been all season. [via Twitter]

1:25 – Jason: I think they’re Seattle announcers sort of like how Barry Tompkins and Mike Pawlawski are Bay Area announcers.

1:26 – Jason: Oh, the ball was there but the receiver wasn’t…

1:26 – Jason: Or vice versa.

1:26 – Ken: Bad throw by Maynard. That’s exactly what we wanted… either a PI or a touchdown most of the time, but you’ve got to get it to where he can go get it.

1:26 – GoldenBlogs: After two runs for no gain, Maynard misses KA on 3rd and 11. Allen was open after a double move, but Maynard’s throw is a little too long. [via Twitter]

1:26 – Jason: Not feeling good.

1:26 – [katster: field goal good.]

1:27 – Ken: I don’t like that playcalling. Running from the 11? It’s hard enough to run down there when you’ve only got 4 yards to go.

1:27 – ESPN_Pac12blog: RT @AdamMayaOCR: Beavers can’t run. Too much on Mannion’s shoulders. Beavers will be hard-pressed to come back… (cont) http://deck.ly/~BWCtl [via Twitter]

1:27 – Ken: At least Tavecchio didn’t pull a Tavecchio.

1:27 – OkanesonCal: Washington starting DE Hau’oli Jamora has left the game with a left knee injury. [via Twitter]

1:27 GoldenBlogs: Forza Italia sets up…the snap is good…the line holds…the kick is…good?

14-10 UW. D up, Bears! [via Twitter]]Saturday September 24, 2011 1:27 GoldenBlogs

1:28 – ESPN_Pac12blog: RT @OkanesonCal: Washington starting DE Hau’oli Jamora has left the game with a left knee injury. [via Twitter]

1:28 – [NoBetterThanSolid: getting some uw-cal 2009 vibes here…settling for fgs in the red zone]

1:28 – [Calbearsfan: can we get Kaelin Clay a damn tutor]

1:28 – [Curt: He’s automatic from … anywhere but here.]

1:28 – [Amyable: We need our defense to settle down. This can’t be our real D that we’ve seen thus far]

1:28 – [NoBetterThanSolid: agreed…especially running from a goal line package…i could see running from a passing formation, catching UW off-guard]

1:29 – Ken: Who came up with the idea for a sensual phily cheese steak comercial?

1:29 – Jason: Someone evil.

1:29 – OkanesonCal: That was just Giorgio Tavecchio’s third field goal attempt of the season. Has made all three. [via Twitter]

1:29 – [Calbearsfan: we need a 3rd WR]

1:29 – crumpackeroncal: Bears pull within 14-10 on Tavecchio’s 29 FG as Tedford gets conservative in red zone with nothing runs.#calfb [via Twitter]

1:29 – [LANYBear: anyone know what exactly the problem is with clay’s academics?]

1:30 – [Calbearsfan: no idea…]

1:30 – [Calbearsfan: but if he cant go, we need someone to step up]

1:30 – Jason: It’s not looking better this direction.

1:30 – [NoBetterThanSolid: i thought it was an ‘internal’ issue (like missing a tutoring session or something)…so not an eligibility issue]

1:30 – [Curt: Thanks god Petros Papadakis is relegated to the sideline. Not much he scan screw up down there. I hope.]

1:30 – Ken: I can’t believe they relegated Petros to the sideline with these two chumps in the booth.

1:30 – [handleofvodka: execute execute execute]

1:30 – [Calbearsfan: isnt he still recovering from surgery?]

1:31 – Jason: So, some mixed feelings about Petros.

1:31 – Jason: Good grief.

1:31 – [Curt: My feelings aren’t mixed. He’s dumb.]

1:31 – Ken: He’s not as bad as these guys.

1:31 – GoldenBlogs: Huskies are pounding it. Two consecutive 1st downs working it exclusively on the ground with their backup RBs. [via Twitter]

1:31 – [NoBetterThanSolid: he just fell forward and somehow got 3 extra yards there]

1:32 – Jason: Wait, a penalty not on Cal? That’s unpossible!

1:32 – Ken: I’m not sure why you take that… it would be 4th down.

1:32 – GoldenBlogs: Refs finally call UW for holding. Some of their Olinemen were about to be legally married to a Cal defender. #blind [via Twitter]

1:32 – [NoBetterThanSolid: penalty accepted? was it a first? or did tedford take 3rd/long over 4th/inches?]

1:33 – Jason: that was a second down.

1:33 – Ken: What a dumb coaching move.

1:33 – Jason: And they convert, of course.

1:33 – [katster: of course they catch the ball.]

1:33 – [Curt: aaaand first down]

1:33 – [LANYBear: why did we accept that penalty?]

1:33 – Jason: Wait, I thought it was 3rd and short or 2nd and long.

1:33 – [handleofvodka: typical]

1:33 – [Calbearsfan: yes we took penalty]

1:33 – Jason: Thank you, Russell Athletic, for the First and 10 line.

1:33 – [Calbearsfan: it was 3rd and 1]

1:33 – Jason: Right, or 2nd and 11.

1:34 – GoldenBlogs: Price is dealing. Threads the needle perfectly and beats tight coverage by DJ Campbell for a 1st down. [via Twitter]

1:34 – [NoBetterThanSolid: maybe tedford thought sark would go for it on 4th/inches…with polk, i think they get it]

1:34 – [Calbearsfan: they said 3rd and 11 on that play tho]

1:34 – Jason: I think they were wrong.

1:34 – Jason: So… I guess the Cal Defense missed the flight?

1:34 – [3 Fatalistic Fans: Oh brother! (you may drink)]

1:34 – [katster: Jason: Isn’t a hold repeating the down?]

1:34 – GoldenBlogs: Cal youth of pass rushers really costing us. Next year (next month hopefully?) we finish those sacks. [via Twitter]

1:34 – Jason: I thought it was 3rd and 1 or 2nd and 11, not 4th and 1. But I don’t know.

1:35 – Jason: Just checked, you’re right. It was 4th and 1 or 3rd and 11 and we took the penalty. Wow.

1:35 – [Amyable: It would have been 4th and inches if we declined the penalty.]

1:35 – GoldenBlogs: Polk with two good runs. 1st down at the Cal 18. Here they go again. [via Twitter]

1:35 – Jason: That’s a terrible choice. I stand corrected.

1:35 – [katster: Augh. Looks like we’re the California Golen Bears today.]

1:35 – Ken: The play-by-play online said it was 3rd and 1 before the penalty.

1:36 – Jason: Just backed up the DVR. Guh.

1:36 – Jason: And TD.

1:36 [Comment From CalbearsfanCalbearsfan: ] 3rd-1, WASH41 11:53 Washington committed 10 yard penalty
3rd-11, WASH31 11:21 K. Price passed to K. Smith down the middle for 12 yard gain Saturday September 24, 2011 1:36 Calbearsfan

1:36 – Jason: Yes, yes, we’ve now established it three times. It was a terrible call. I think this TD’s basically on Tedford.

1:36 – GoldenBlogs: Perfectly executed TE screen. Cal defenders are on their heels and confused. UW scores to go up 21-10. 8:51 to go in the 2nd. [via Twitter]

1:36 – Ken: The defense is getting man-handled out there.

1:36 – Jason: Make them go for it. Maybe they get it, maybe they don’t.

1:36 – [Sean: I think these announcers want price to ask them out to the prom with the way they’re buttering him up]

1:37 – Jason: So I guess this is one of those games where Cal doesn’t play defense?

1:37 – Ken: They don’t go for it from their own 41.

1:38 – crumpackeroncal: Cal falls behind 21-10 because of lousy pass defense, just terrible. Bears giving receivers too much cushion. C’mon, Clancy!#calfb [via Twitter]

1:38 – Ken: I get the feeling Tedford is just a tad overwhelmed on the sideline. Too much information coming at him for his very methodical, process everything brain, and sometimes he misses the simple things like “wait, did they convert on that 3rd and 1?”

1:38 – GoldenBlogs: Don’t like the way Pendergast has subbed here. Put two NTs on the inside, UW goes to the left and takes advantage of safeties. [via Twitter]

1:38 – OkanesonCal: Should Cal have declnied holding penalty to make it 4th-and-1 at UW 41? I berkisian would have gone for it — and converted. [via Twitter]

1:39 – GoldenBlogs: Then we send the house on a misdirection rollout, no one picks it up. Washington glides in. [via Twitter]

1:39 – [LANYBear: helloooooo nevada]

1:39 – [Calbearsfan: we look like blue hose out there]

1:39 – ESPN_Pac12blog: RT @TheCoolSub: #UCLA takes advantage of Mannion’s second turnover with Jordon James touchdown run. [via Twitter]

1:39 – [Sean: There’s no way cal should be getting beat up like this on D]

1:39 – [NoBetterThanSolid: their #1 rb polk didn’t even touch the ball on that last drive…all backup RBs]

1:39 – Jason: Okay, I’m ready to panic.

1:39 – Ken: I think it’s worse than that Jason. I think this is proof that this defense is not as good as last years. We’re missing ‘the big 3’ more than I thought we would.

1:40 – ESPN_Pac12blog: Wrote that Washington wouldn’t score 40 vs. the tough Cal defense. It’s 21-10 early in the 2nd quarter. Keith Price is making me look wrong. [via Twitter]

1:40 – [Curt: Blue Hose half-brother … DRINK!]

1:40 – [Calbearsfan: drinking]

1:40 – Jason: I don’t think his feet were in.

1:40 – [NoBetterThanSolid: in bounds, and not intercepted? wow]

1:40 – Jason: Neither did Tedford.

1:40 – ESPN_Pac12blog: UCLA in control at Oregon State – http://es.pn/nziLoG [via Twitter]

1:40 – Jason: But they’re gonna review it…

1:40 – ESPN_Pac12blog: Ohio State now up 17-0 on Colorado… it appears I will be right about that pick. [via Twitter]

1:41 – [Curt: Ken, what were you saying earlier about Tedford being sluggish?]

1:41 – GoldenBlogs: Jones climbs the ladder for a spectacular catch on the sideline. Being reviewed. Clearly in on the review. Expecting the refs to overturn [via Twitter]

1:41 – [Curt: That’s a catch.]

1:41 – ESPN_Pac12blog: RT @Art_Thiel: 20-yd TD pass to Sefarian-Jenkins perfectly executed screen; OT Kelemete makes stud block. UW 21-10. [via Twitter]

1:41 – [NoBetterThanSolid: if he has possession, that’s a catch]

1:41 – [Calbearsfan: 2 refs were there]

1:41 – Jason: Well, then roll on you Bears!

1:41 – OkanesonCal: Cal’s inability to pressure the quarterback is once again doing them in. Biggest surprise about this team so far this season. [via Twitter]

1:42 – ESPN_Pac12blog: Any chance we’re going to see Ryan Katz? [via Twitter]

1:42 – ESPN_Pac12blog: RT @LindsayRae19: Beavs look lifeless, which is weird because you think J Rod coming back woulda given them a little more fight. [via Twitter]

1:42 – Jason: I liked the look there from Maynard, faking the pull-down for the run and then throwing it, but… it was nothing

1:43 – ESPN_Pac12blog: RT @OkanesonCal: Cal’s inability to pressure the quarterback is once again doing them in. Biggest surprise about this team so far. [via Twitter]

1:43 – GoldenBlogs: Maynard a little shaky this series. Misses two passes. Big 3rd and long. Right where we want ’em? [via Twitter]

1:44 – Ken: Can we play like it’s 3rd and 10 every down?

1:44 – [LANYBear: any idea why we’ve abandoned the running game?]

1:44 – Jason: PANIC

1:44 – GoldenBlogs: Maynard silences the crowd with a frozen rope to KA on the post. 1st down Bears at the UW 40! [via Twitter]

1:44 – [Curt: Maynard having a rough stretch, but that was a sweet throw.]

1:45 – Jason: “These interdivision games are so important!”

1:45 – Jason: Actually no more important than any other conference game, really.

1:45 – [Curt: I heard that too]

1:45 – [LANYBear: WOW]

1:45 – [Curt: CATCH!]

1:46 – [NoBetterThanSolid: that’s the 4th circus catch for marvin already]

1:46 – GoldenBlogs: Wow. Rollout by Maynard. Throws to Jones who drags his toe beautifully. Will this hold up for 16 yards? [via Twitter]

1:46 – Jason: That’s a catch, folks.

1:46 – Ken: Definitely a catch.

1:46 – Jason: When the refs disagree, do they decide which call is wrong and then call that one?

1:46 – Ken: The rubber rooster tail confirms it.

1:46 – [katster: that’s a beautiful catch.]

1:46 – [Calbearsfan: i want to see a picture of that]

1:46 – [LANYBear: WOWOWOW]

1:46 – [handleofvodka: CATACH CATCH CATCh]

1:46 – Jason: So wait, the ruling was catch?

1:46 – GoldenBlogs: Marvin Jones (@MarvinJones_1) must think he’s playing the Seahawks. Those are PRO catches. [via Twitter]

1:47 – [handleofvodka: YESSSS]

1:47 – GoldenBlogs: Bears really need to put one in the endzone here. UW’s O can’t be stopped. Too big a lead and their D will tee off all day. Go Bears! [via Twitter]

1:47 – Ken: Jason, that’s not until next year’s course work for our Freshman refs.

1:47 – Jason: Pac-12 confusion. Tedford will get fined shortly.

1:47 – [NoBetterThanSolid: should be ‘dragged’ his toe, not ‘drug’ 😉]

1:47 – [Curt: They’re as confused as the refs of the Colorado game.]

1:47 – [Sean: Marvin is bringing it]

1:48 – [Calbearsfan: are pac-12 refs not getting paid enough?]

1:48 – Jason: UW fans obviously booing the poor communication among the officials.

1:48 – [Calbearsfan: how much more evidence do they need]

1:48 – [Calbearsfan: the rubber is there]

1:48 – OkanesonCal: Not sure I’ve seen the same play reviewed twice before. [via Twitter]

1:49 – [Bearzilla: cash is changing hands]

1:49 – [NoBetterThanSolid: i think they had to check the line of scrimmage/time…which they should have done in the first place]

1:49 – [LANYBear: if we go into halftime down by less than a TD, i am going to be THRILLED]

1:49 – [Curt: Rubber is like Shakira’s hips: It doesn’t lie.]

1:49 – Ken: Ref just runs on the field after his bathroom break

1:49 – Jason: I think Marvin made too many moves on that one. Just slowing him down.

1:50 – Jason: I can say that because I was good at ball tag in 4th grade.

1:50 – [Calbearsfan: how was he so wide open]

1:50 – Jason: oh, the pain

1:50 – [Curt: Cal absolutely has to have one complete screw up play each drive. Never fails.]

1:50 – GoldenBlogs: Schwenke steps on Maynard’s foot. Sets up another 3rd and long… [via Twitter]

1:50 – [Bearzilla: the invisible man took him down]

1:50 – Jason: CLOAKING DEVICE

1:50 – [Calbearsfan: i kinda wanna go to sleep now]

1:51 – [LANYBear: our OL had a MONSTER push that play too… dammit]

1:51 – [katster: *sigh*]

1:51 – Jason: UW gets TDs, we get FGs.

1:51 – [Curt: I’d rather see him over-throw than come up short. Throw it only where your guy has a chance.]

1:51 – Ken: That’s TWO good ones from Tavecchio.

1:51 – [NoBetterThanSolid: a few more yards, and that’s a td]

1:52 – GoldenBlogs: KA can’t quite come up with a diving catch. Giorgio is like iron. Nails the chippy from the far right hash. 21-13, Cal. Still a game! [via Twitter]

1:52 – Ken: Now it’s all about the defense. We go into halftime down by 8, I’ve got some hope. But if they run over us again and we’re down by 15… it’ll be pretty bleak

1:52 – Ken: It was the same in 2009. UW got a late first half TD and followed it up with a quick TD to start the 2nd half and it was all over.

1:53 – Ken: Luckily this year we get the ball to start the 2nd half.

1:53 – ESPN_Pac12blog: RT @AdamMayaOCR: Jordan Poyer takes Locke punt 85 yards for TD. 21-10 Beavers. New game in Corvallis. Locke blasted on the play. [via Twitter]

1:53 – [Sean: Yea, D needs to find themselves, and for the love of God, get some pressure on price.]

1:54 – crumpackeroncal: Another Tavecchio FG and Cal trails 21-13. Key reversal of ruling on incomplete pass to Jones was key on drive. Nice toe action by Jones. [via Twitter]

1:54 – GoldenBlogs: Cal’s D has been carved up. Can they make a stand before the half? Go Bears! [via Twitter]

1:54 – Jason: Getting Rolled On, You Bears.

1:54 – Jason: Love Husky Stadium, hate that track.

1:55 – Jason: BALL

1:55 – [Curt: FINALLY!]

1:55 – Ken: YES!

1:55 – [katster: turnover!]

1:55 – Jason: Very clearly Cal ball.

1:55 – [Bearzilla: hahahahahahaha]

1:55 – [3 Fatalistic Fans: Ref is playing for which team?]

1:55 – Ken: Oh, this is exactly what the Bears needed.

1:55 – [handleofvodka: yesssssssss]

1:55 – GoldenBlogs: Bears D forces a fumble! McCain with the strip. Kendricks recovers. Cal ball!!!! [via Twitter]

1:56 – [LANYBear: YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!]

1:56 – GoldenBlogs: Not McCain, Cecil Whiteside. Great play. [via Twitter]

1:56 – [Curt: Price coughed up the ball a ton against Cal.]

1:56 – GoldenBlogs: Pardon, Whiteside with the strip. Never gave up on the play. [via Twitter]

1:56 – Jason: Good stat there: Cal tends to win when it has fewer turnovers. As does every other team ever.

1:56 – Ken: Good defense, ball slightly under thrown

1:56 – [Curt: Excuse me: Against Nebraska.]

1:56 – Jason: That was a bad ball.

1:56 – Jason: Shame.

1:57 – Jason: Also, Cal is undefeated when outscoring its opponents. True stat!!

1:57 – GoldenBlogs: Trufant pushes Jones, not called. Ball knocked away in the endzone incomplete. [via Twitter]

1:57 – [NoBetterThanSolid: his right hand was all over him…if williams gets a PI earlier, how is that not a flag]

1:57 – [Curt: If I’m not mistaken, Maynard has yet to ‘over’ throw a receiver.]

1:57 – GoldenBlogs: Underthrown ball by Maynard allows Trufant to make a play on the ball. [via Twitter]

1:57 – [LANYBear: ANOTHER underthrown ball… ARGH]

1:57 – Jason: Horse collar?

1:57 – Jason: Oh, come on.

1:57 – [katster: Yeah, there was a push.]

1:57 – Jason: You don’t get to grab a guy’s collar and pull him back.

1:58 – Jason: Oh noooooo

1:58 – GoldenBlogs: @ChrisConte47 http://www.justin.tv/ujiryan/popout Passwrod is “gobears.” Missing you at safety today! [via Twitter]

1:58 – Jason: He dropped it. And worse, there was a free 1st down before that choice.

1:58 – [katster: AUGH ALLEN]

1:58 – [NoBetterThanSolid: GO FOR IT]

1:58 – Ken: UGH! ARG! What the…. fu… ngus!?!

1:58 – Jason: That was so painful. Such a bad play.

1:58 – GoldenBlogs: Wow. KA drops a wide-open TD pass. Perfect throw. Right off his hands. Ugh. Bears call timeout to think about 4th and 10. [via Twitter]

1:58 – Jason: Meanwhile, just to revisit this for a moment…..

1:59 – [LANYBear: NO HORSECOLLAR? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?]

1:59 – Jason: Seemed pretty obvious to me.

1:59 – GoldenBlogs: Those are the type of plays Maynard can make. Those are the the type of plays Allen usually makes. [via Twitter]

1:59 – [Curt: Lobbing that ball across the middle will get Maynard in trouble. He’s making a habit of it.]

1:59 – Ken: You know they’re half brothers…that shouldn’t happen

1:59 – [LANYBear: that is a KILLER drop]

1:59 – Jason: drink

1:59 – [Calbearsfan: 4th and 4 right?]

1:59 – [Calbearsfan: drinking]

1:59 – [NoBetterThanSolid: maynard had an easy first down if he ran]

1:59 – Jason: yep, he also had an open receiver to throw it for the first

1:59 – Jason: I appreciate his moxie but he should’ve taken the first.

1:59 – [Calbearsfan: id go for it]

1:59 – [NoBetterThanSolid: not punting!]

2:00 – GoldenBlogs: Cal going for it , 4th and 4 from UW 37. Good call by Tedford. UW calls a time out. [via Twitter]

2:00 – Jason: Well, you don’t punt it and I wouldn’t FG it from here, so, yeah, you go for it.

2:00 – Ken: I’m not so sure on the run guys… there were two Huskies bearing down on him… he might not have made it and that was a pretty open Allen.

2:00 – Ken: GOT IT!

2:01 – GoldenBlogs: Honey Badger Maynard doesn’t care it’s 4th down. 17 yds to KA! [via Twitter]

2:01 – [handleofvodka: gooooo]

2:01 – [katster: Keenan makes up for it!]

2:01 – [handleofvodka: get it]

2:01 – Jason: oh man. roll on you bears. CDbJ!

2:01 – [katster: CDJ again!]

2:01 – GoldenBlogs: Love the way Tedford centered the ball by throwing a post pattern on 4th down! [via Twitter]

2:01 – Ken: Cal in a good rhythm right now.

2:01 – [Curt: Let that clock run a bit.]

2:01 – Jason: Deboskie Key is Key!

2:02 – [NoBetterThanSolid: wow, cdj with a nice catch…we ran that wheel a lot last year w vereen]

2:02 – [handleofvodka: niiiicceeee]

2:02 – Jason: run please

2:02 – Jason: yes.

2:02 – Jason: thank you.

2:02 – [LANYBear: CDJ OUT OF THE DOGHOUSE!]

2:02 – Jason: No, he’s still at Husky Stadium.

2:02 – Jason: ducks

2:02 – GoldenBlogs: Maynard to Debo sets up 1st and goal. Zone read by Maynard takes it to the 2. Punch it in Bears! [via Twitter]

2:02 – Ken: Maynard is really deceptive on that read option… I thought it was a TD to Sofele (who didn’t have the ball

2:03 – [LANYBear: oh gawd jason… that is just heinous]

2:03 – Jason: almost got it there. run again.

2:03 – [Curt: Man, looked like he got in there.]

2:03 – GoldenBlogs: CJ takes it to the 1. 3rd and goal. [via Twitter]

2:03 – Ken: THAT’S A TOUCHDOWN!

2:03 – Jason: or play action, I suppose. or a rollout. I agree looked like a TD….

2:03 – Jason: run please, thank you.

2:03 – Ken: Now it is whether or not the Refs scre… er… stick it to us.

2:03 – Jason: It doesn’t matter. CJ now has the TD twice.

2:04 – [3 Fatalistic Fans: We are back in it]

2:04 – [Calbearsfan: YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY]

2:04 – Jason: He’s a bruiser.

2:04 – Jason: As the guy who said, “run please,” I like those play calls.

2:04 – GoldenBlogs: The Human Bowling Ball will not be denied! CJ barrels in for the score. Touchdown Bears! 21-20, UW. 1:20 to play in the 2nd. [via Twitter]

2:04 – Jason: LOL @GoldenBlogs.

2:05 – GoldenBlogs: UW defender being checked out on the sideline. “How do I get #9’s footprint off my face?” [via Twitter]

2:05 – [katster: Go Bears!]

2:05 – [Calbearsfan: im glad they are using 3-4 RBs]

2:05 – [handleofvodka: defense bears defense]

2:05 – [3 Fatalistic Fans: There is some dangerous optimism floating around here]

2:05 – [Calbearsfan: lol]

2:05 – Ken: This team may have its issues, but it’s got heart and it sticks with it as the game wears on. Who would have expected this from our recent experience?

2:05 – Jason: Don’t worry 3ff, they’re still losing.

2:05 – Jason: Oh, Giorgio.

2:05 – [NoBetterThanSolid: oh, special teams]

2:05 – GoldenBlogs: Giorgio goes with the ol’ Cal classic…and boots the kickoff out of bounds. Seriously. [via Twitter]

2:06 – Jason: ALAMAR!!!!!wait.

2:06 – [LANYBear: agree with ken… this team is far from perfect, but i do respect its resilience and perseverance]

2:06 – [kidnebraska: alamaaaaaaarrrrrrrr!]

2:06 – Ken: OK, D… now’s the time.

2:06 – [LANYBear: ALAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR]

2:06 – Jason: Somewhere Pete Alamar is crying.

2:06 – [NoBetterThanSolid: crying, while blocking two of our extra points]

2:07 – GoldenBlogs: UW goes to work and gets a 1st down at the 50. Less than a minute to go. [via Twitter]

2:07 – Ken: Oh come on! BRING HIM DOWN… seriously, it’s time for some tackling drills Lupoi

2:07 – Jason: He’s in Moscow, Idaho.

2:07 – [Calbearsfan: how many times have we TOUCHEd the QB]

2:07 – Jason: Geez, this is painful.

2:08 – [katster: SACK!]

2:08 – [LANYBear: someone tell our DL that it’s not two-hand touch with price… jeez]

2:08 – [NoBetterThanSolid: they’re already in fg range]

2:08 – Ken: Finally… although that’s a coverage sack

2:08 – Ken: Not anymore NBTS

2:08 – GoldenBlogs: Bears finally get to Price! Big sack. 25s to play, ball at the Cal 40. [via Twitter]

2:09 – [NoBetterThanSolid: FINALLY!]

2:09 – Jason: The guy who runs the clock at Husky Stadium is probably someone’s… half brother.

2:09 – Jason: -glug-

2:10 – Jason: defense bears defense. ok, FG attempt…

2:10 – Ken: That’ll be a 52 yard field goal attemp

2:10 – [LANYBear: this announcer makes me want to stab myself in the eyeball]

2:10 – ESPN_Pac12blog: Halftime: UCLA 21, Oregon State 10 – http://es.pn/qoDgHb [via Twitter]

2:10 – GoldenBlogs: UW centers the ball for their kicker. 2s to go. Long field goal attempt to come…51yarder? [via Twitter]

2:10 – [handleofvodka: bloooocccckkkk]

2:11 – [Curt: This kid has a boot. Definitely in his range.]

2:11 – Jason: Definitely not my favorite kind of charity, that Dream Foundation. Anyway.

2:11 – Jason: Just short.

2:11 – Ken: Ooohh… I thought that was going to be good.

2:11 – Jason: Whew! Well, there’s a half. 21-20 UW.

2:11 – [Curt: Oooooh. I guess I’ll shut my big mouth.]

2:11 – [katster: But missed.]

2:11 – GoldenBlogs: The kick is high…it’s deep…straight enough…Sorry. Too short. Go sit, meat. [via Twitter]

2:11 – Jason: “Maybe they should’ve thrown it.” You know, I was about to say that as a joke. And this announcer says it. You can’t make this stuff up.

2:12 – Ken: I bet that’s good going the other direction… the wind off the lake probably knocked that down a bit.

2:12 – [NoBetterThanSolid: i like how we had keenan back there for the return…]

2:12 – [katster: would have been fun to watch Allen try to return that, though.]

2:12 – Jason: Halftime. Everyone get caught up on your drinking. Hydrate. Pace. Eat a sandwich. See you in a few…

2:12 – [Calbearsfan: i feel a little better going into halftime]

2:12 – GoldenBlogs: Bears somehow escape. Still 21-20 UW at half. What a great game. UW offense is scary, but our Bears are matching them blow for blow. [via Twitter]

2:13 – GoldenBlogs: Despite a few high/missed throws, Maynard is having a solid game. Continuing his trend of being toughest on 3rd(and 4th!) down. [via Twitter]

2:13 – [NoBetterThanSolid: 90 yard reception and a 107 yard fg return…what could have been]

2:13 – [Calbearsfan: is it legal to swat a fieldgoal down, as it reached the goal post?]

2:13 – Ken: Seriously, considering where we were, (10-21), to be 20-21 going into the locker room with getting the ball to start the 2nd half, that’s a pretty good turn around.

2:14 – GoldenBlogs: Sofele has run well. He forced UW to stack the box which opened things up for KA and Jones. [via Twitter]

2:14 – GoldenBlogs: Maynard will want those two end zone throws to Keenan Allen back where he went in rather than out. But he’s been fine otherwise. [via Twitter]

2:14 – Ken: That’s an interesting question CBF. I bet it is. I don’t think football has a goal-tending rule.

2:15 – GoldenBlogs: Coach Pendergast has to go back to the drawing board at half. Pass rush can’t get to Price. Seem to be better when we play coverage….? [via Twitter]

2:16 – Ken: I think the 2nd half is all about the defense. I feel that the offense, while it has some issues, will continue to put up some points. It’s all about whether we can impose our will on the UW offensive line.

2:18 – GoldenBlogs: Like how Covaughn Deboskie-Johnson has been used as a passing option. Hey, if you don’t trust him to run, making him go out wide! [via Twitter]

2:24 – GoldenBlogs: @jacewilliams9 Folk is an NFL-capable kicker. Giorgio does what he can, and he’s still putting threes on the board! [via Twitter]

2:25 – GoldenBlogs: @Berroya The balls are catchable. Not totally accurate, but this is a far cry from Riley missing guys by yards. [via Twitter]

2:26 – OkanesonCal: First quarter stats. http://www.ibabuzz.com/beartalk/2011/09/24/football-first-quarter-stats-33/ [via Twitter]

2:27 – GoldenBlogs: @DonovanEdwards Yeah, gotta hand it to Coach T for using all of his weapons. Oline has cleaned up their penalties, too. #gobears [via Twitter]

2:28 – Jason: okay, getting caught up…

2:28 – ESPN_Pac12blog: Halftime: Washington 21, California 20 – http://es.pn/qG2zSG [via Twitter]

2:28 – [Calbearsfan: Can we get Yao Ming on special teams or maybe his son]

2:28 – [handleofvodka: dooooommmmmm]

2:28 – [Calbearsfan: http://smartfootball.com/grab-bag/goaltending-for-football]

2:28 – [handleofvodka: come on bears!!!!!!!!!!]

2:28 – [katster: Alright. Got a chore done during halftime. Let’s go, Bears.]

2:28 – [Calbearsfan: So I guess you can jump up in the air, catch the field goal attempt at the cross bar and it would be Legal?]

2:30 – GoldenBlogs: @jacewilliams9 Almost wonder if they’re instructing Giorgio to go for hangtime instead of distance. Some of those kicks seemed really high. [via Twitter]

2:32 – Jason: UCLA now leading 21-13. Wow, OSU… I’m shocked.

2:33 – crumpackeroncal: Bears left the field at halftime trailing 21-20. They will need to play some pass defense in the second half to have a chance to win.#calfb [via Twitter]

2:33 – Jason: Oh look! A flag right away! Personal foul on Cal.

2:33 – [Sean: Cmon offense, let’s come Out swinging]

2:34 – Jason: The special teams came out swinging, apparently.

2:34 – [katster: augh, Bears.]

2:34 – Ken: And we’re back… with a penalty

2:34 – GoldenBlogs: Bigelow gets lit up on the kickoff return. Then Cal flagged for a personal foul. Bears start with poor field position. #herewego [via Twitter]

2:34 – [3 Fatalistic Fans: Not swinging like that!]

2:34 – [handleofvodka: uggghhhhh]

2:34 – [NoBetterThanSolid: just setting us up for another 90 yard td to allen…right?]

2:35 – Jason: Seeing those two FG drives in that list is painful

2:35 – Ken: I completely agree Jason.

2:35 – GoldenBlogs: Sofele with two strong runs. 2nd effort moves the chains. 1st and 10 at the 23. [via Twitter]

2:35 – Jason: The second half is being brought to you by Blue Moon Summer Honey Wheat.

2:35 – Jason: PI. Definitely.

2:35 – [Calbearsfan: but remember what you always say, SCORE POINTS]

2:36 – Ken: And coca-cola

2:36 – Jason: Ken drinks his beer on New Year’s Day.

2:36 – GoldenBlogs: Jones draws PI and moves the chains with another 15. [via Twitter]

2:36 – Jason: good coverage on that… could have easily been a major gain for Cal

2:37 – [LANYBear: could have been a HUGE play if MJ makes that block]

2:37 – Jason: Nice play for Maynard there.

2:37 – OkanesonCal: Haltime stats. http://www.ibabuzz.com/beartalk/2011/09/24/football-halftime-stats-35/ [via Twitter]

2:37 – [katster: wow, had me fooled. Nice job Maynard.]

2:37 – Ken: Nice to see a designed run play for Maynard… for all the talk, there really hadn’t been a lot of it

2:37 – Jason: Yeah, having the running threat from the QB is good, and the fake really will make them think next time too

2:38 – GoldenBlogs: Maynard keeps on the zone read for 6. Big 3rd and 4 for momentum. [via Twitter]

2:38 – GoldenBlogs: Maynard rifles it to KA in tight coverage right at the sticks! Roll on you Bears!!! [via Twitter]

2:38 – [LANYBear: WOW. how did he even catch that?!]

2:39 – Jason: Shame Calvin didn’t get that on his feet, because he was open.

2:39 – [3 Fatalistic Fans: Beautiful!]

2:39 – Ken: Really liking the rhythm of this drive

2:39 – Jason: Why’d he go down? It was right to him.

2:39 – [Curt: Cal looking unusually methodical on this drive.]

2:39 – [LANYBear: i know i’m TOTALLY jinxing us, but we have had zero false starts this game.]

2:40 – GoldenBlogs: Calvin joins the onslaught. They’re shamelessly picking on UW DB Richardson(high ankle sprain). 16 yard gain! [via Twitter]

2:40 – [Calbearsfan: miller doesnt have a catch]

2:40 – GoldenBlogs: Nice mix of run and pass on this drive. Isi running with wiggle and heart. Twists for another 5yds. [via Twitter]

2:40 – Jason: oh, nice option!

2:40 – Ken: I love it when my running backs on are on Jenny Craig too!

2:40 – Jason: Though I think it was a forward pass! But that’s okay.

2:40 – [katster: nice option!]

2:41 – [NoBetterThanSolid: nice job staying in bounds by sofele]

2:41 – GoldenBlogs: Maynard with the perfect ptich on the option. Sofele takes it 20 yards to the 4. 1st and goal Bears! [via Twitter]

2:41 – [LANYBear: WEEEEEEEEEEE!]

2:41 – Ken: VEry nice option play

2:41 – Jason: We have an option QB, guys. Wow.

2:41 – Jason: sigh.

2:41 – [NoBetterThanSolid: oh no]

2:41 – [3 Fatalistic Fans: RBs can make themselves thin but not if they are brought to you by KFC]

2:41 – [katster: …and then, oops.]

2:41 – Jason: I think that’s UW ball. The UW player had it first, and was on the ground. But.. scrum

2:42 – Jason: That’s a break.

2:42 – Jason: The UW fans again complaining about the lack of clear communication from the officiating crew.

2:42 – [katster: …uh, wow!]

2:42 – [Calbearsfan: WHEM]

2:42 – [LANYBear: huge break]

2:42 – Ken: No,that’s shared possession. Goes to teh offense

2:42 – GoldenBlogs: Disaster! Maynard drops the ball while going back to pass. Scrum. Refs rule that Bears retain possession…still 2nd and goal from the 12 [via Twitter]

2:42 – Jason: Don’t agree with the running call there.

2:43 – Ken: YEah, seriously… you can’t run it htere. Two throws

2:43 – Jason: You’re guaranteeing yourself 3rd and long

2:43 – GoldenBlogs: Huge 3rd and goal from the 9. [via Twitter]

2:43 – Ken: And you have to throw INTO the endzone.

2:43 – Jason: I’d have felt different if Maynard had broken “the keeper” for 15-20 yards previously, but they didn’t. And yes, then they dump it off short. That’s the “settle for FG” playcall.

2:43 – [LANYBear: um, what?!]

2:43 – [NoBetterThanSolid: no one open in the end zone]

2:44 – Jason: Left footer! FG.

2:44 – Ken: Tavecchio does it again.

2:44 – GoldenBlogs: Good coverage by UW. Maynard has to check down to CJ, stopped well short. Tavecchio puts it through. 23-21 Cal. [via Twitter]

2:44 – [katster: nice job on field goals.]

2:44 – OkanesonCal: Cal gets a field goal to take the lead, but Zach Maynard’s fumble may have cost the Bears four points. [via Twitter]

2:44 – GoldenBlogs: If #Cal loses this game, they’re going to look back at those failed red zone opportunities. Hopefully we don’t lose. [via Twitter]

2:45 – [Calbearsfan: ill take those points]

2:45 – OkanesonCal: If I’m a defensive player in this game, I want my offense to have the ball in the final minutes. [via Twitter]

2:45 – [3 Fatalistic Fans: Team is plural?]

2:45 – crumpackeroncal: Cal re-takes lead on Tavecchio’s 25-yd FG on opening drive of 2nd half. Nice drive for Bears but a stall at end prevented TD.#calfb [via Twitter]

2:45 – Jason: In England it are.

2:45 – Jason: Er, they am.

2:45 – Ken: There’s no i in team either.

2:45 – Jason: Do you think SEC fans make grammar jokes in their liveblogs?

2:46 – Jason: Seems unlikely.

2:46 – [LANYBear: the two whipping boys georgio and sofele are really carrying us today]

2:46 – Jason: alamar.

2:46 – Ken: And here I was just about to say that special teams has been on the positive side of the ledger.

2:46 – Jason: ALAMAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRR. In Moscow Idaho to play the Vandals.

2:46 – [NoBetterThanSolid: ALAMAAAAAAR]

2:46 – [3 Fatalistic Fans: STOP THEM!]

2:46 – [LANYBear: ALAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAR]

2:47 – [Calbearsfan: special teams….]

2:47 – GoldenBlogs: Cal Special Teams remain special. Kick goes to the 3, but porous coverage lets them run it to the Cal 40. Giorgio saves a TD with a tackle [via Twitter]

2:47 – Jason: The guy who used to sit behind me in section FF would always scream “Alamaaaaaaar!” – Hilarious.

2:47 – [katster: augh, Bears.]

2:48 – [Sean: Hard to talk about grammar when all of the posts contain “WOOOO!!!” and “Dang ol tell you what!”]

2:48 – Jason: nice stop bears.

2:48 – Ken: 4th and 1… do they go for it? Kick it?

2:48 – [NoBetterThanSolid: nice third down D there]

2:48 – [katster: STOPPED EM SHORT!]

2:48 – Jason: It’s Sarkisian.

2:48 – GoldenBlogs: Big stop on 3rd and 1!!! Kendricks throws Polk for a 1 yd loss. 4th and 2! [via Twitter]

2:48 – Jason: They go.

2:48 – Jason: great playcall.

2:49 – [katster: …augh]

2:49 – GoldenBlogs: Dawgs go for it…and get it with a clever outside pitch. [via Twitter]

2:49 – Jason: That’s vintage Sarkisian.

2:49 – Ken: Cal brought everything to the inside and the playcall was designed for it.

2:49 – Jason: That’s why tedford took that penalty to make it 3rd and 11.

2:49 – Jason: I don’t agree, but that’s why.

2:49 – Ken: I’m not even sure that’s why.

2:50 – GoldenBlogs: Sark took advantage of the OLB youth there. McCain bit inside letting Kearse go easily outside. [via Twitter]

2:50 – Jason: You guys have seen that story about the high school team that doesn’t ever punt, right? It’s kind of interesting. They just always go for it, and you know what? Offensive playcalling kind of opens up when you know you have four downs to work with.

2:50 – GoldenBlogs: Cal D holds…sets up another big 3rd and long. [via Twitter]

2:51 – [NoBetterThanSolid: 3rd and long is right in UW’s wheelhouse…]

2:51 – GoldenBlogs: Whiteside hits Price as he throws…but pass is complete for a 1st down. (sigh) [via Twitter]

2:51 – Jason: The story is here, FWIW. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2011/writers/scorecasting/09/15/kelley.pulaski/index.html

2:51 – [katster: Yeah, I read that whole book. It’s pretty good.]

2:52 – GoldenBlogs: Mychal Kendricks meshed well on that zone-read. [via Twitter]

2:52 – Jason: One of these days someone in D1 is going to try that. I think all coaches are too risk averse.

2:52 – Jason: That announcer is way too excited about flags.

2:52 – GoldenBlogs: Steve Williams with great coverage on that third down conversion…but sometimes better offense beats good defense. [via Twitter]

2:52 – Ken: Chop block, that’s big

2:53 – GoldenBlogs: UW called for a chop block. 2nd and 25! [via Twitter]

2:53 – [LANYBear: oh. penalties are allowed to be called on Udub?]

2:53 – [NoBetterThanSolid: that’s OUR penalty!]

2:53 – Jason: “Montana to a guy named Rice.” Joe Rice? Frank Rice? White Rice?

2:53 – [katster: okay, Bears. Stop ’em.]

2:53 – Jason: STOPPED.

2:54 – Jason: Did he just say exscape?

2:54 – [NoBetterThanSolid: did we just…stop a screen?]

2:54 – [3 Fatalistic Fans: PP sounds like Joe Garagiola when he narrated the Westminster Kennel Club]

2:54 – [kidnebraska: somebody woke up the defense]

2:54 – Ken: Yeah, the screen problems with Colorado are nowhere to be found anymore.

2:54 – [LANYBear: wow, someone jumped the snap count there]

2:54 – GoldenBlogs: Huge stop on 3rd down! UW goes back to the screen, but Holt isn’t fooled. Throws Polk for a loss. FG attempt pending. [via Twitter]

2:54 – Jason: Dear professional announcer, please pronounce words properly.

2:54 – Jason: Okay, 24-23. I’ll take it.

2:54 – GoldenBlogs: 40 yd kick is good. 24-23 UW. 2:06 to go in the 3rd. [via Twitter]

2:54 – Ken: OK, the majority of the 3rd quarter just became meaningless.

2:55 – GoldenBlogs: Tipoti great pressure, Holt great pursuit. We’re going down to the wire in Seattle. [via Twitter]

2:57 – GoldenBlogs: UW’s chop block allows Cal to escape relatively lightly after giving up the kickoff return to their own 40. Time to respond! [via Twitter]

2:57 – crumpackeroncal: Washington moves into 24-23 lead on Folk FG, set up by big kickoff return by Smith of 53 yards. Back and forth we go.#calfb [via Twitter]

2:59 – GoldenBlogs: UW kickoff coverage has been really impressive. Guys are flying and hitting hard. Bigelow has been bottled up. For now. [via Twitter]

3:00 – GoldenBlogs: UW comes out stacking the box again and stuff Isi on 1st down. Daring Maynard to beat them through the air again. [via Twitter]

3:01 – [3 Fatalistic Fans: What is up with those pumpkin uniforms? Ack!]

3:01 – [Calbearsfan: 3 down huskies….]

3:01 – GoldenBlogs: How? Please, enlighten us. RT @RGBearTerritory: Alameda Ta’amu makes stop on a 1st down Isi Sofele run up the middle. [via Twitter]

3:01 – GoldenBlogs: UW player down.(Timu) Stretcher is out. Thoughts and prayers with him and his family. [via Twitter]

3:02 – GoldenBlogs: How? Please, enlighten us. RT @RGBearTerritory: Ta’amu makes the stop on a 1st down Isi Sofele run up the mid… (cont) http://deck.ly/~gnUQo [via Twitter]

3:03 – Ken: I always hate to see this sort of thing… I guess it helps remind us that this is just a game.

3:03 – Jason: Very quiet there. Ugh.

3:03 – GoldenBlogs: @DavidSeawright We’re rebels like that. #gobears [via Twitter]

3:04 – [Sean: Damn, an ambulance? Must have been bad]

3:04 – Jason: Got some Jahvid memories here.

3:04 – Ken: You know one of the things I love most about college football… that clapping you heard, it would have been just as loud if it was a visitor down.

3:04 – OkanesonCal: Washingtoh outside linebacker John Timu is being taken off the field in an ambulance while strapped to a stretcher. [via Twitter]

3:05 – GoldenBlogs: @DonovanEdwards Helmet to helmet hit on tackle. Might have also caught a knee to the helmet while falling. [via Twitter]

3:05 – Ken: This might just be the first ambulance/stretcher on the field since Jahvid for a Bears game.

3:05 – crumpackeroncal: Unfortunate sight: Washington LB John Timu taken off in ambulance late 3rd Q after apparently hitting head/neck on a tackle. Scary.#calfb [via Twitter]

3:06 – Ken: OK Bears, you’ve got to get it back now… I know it’s tough, but it’s time.

3:06 – GoldenBlogs: Cal players took a knee and gave their respects. #classybears [via Twitter]

3:06 – [katster: yeah, it looked like he was leading with his head before things went down.]

3:06 – Jason: Sofele!

3:07 – Ken: That was 3 inches of sideline from a touchdown.

3:07 – GoldenBlogs: Bears fake the run up the middle, and Sofele goes around the end for 22. Why didn’t UW see that coming??! [via Twitter]

3:07 – [kidnebraska: solefe! go bears!]

3:07 – [Calbearsfan: speedfele]

3:07 – [katster: yay Sofele!]

3:08 – Jason: yuck

3:09 – [Curt: Underthrown. Shocker.]

3:09 – [katster: *sigh*]

3:09 – GoldenBlogs: UW rushes 3, drops 8. Maynard one hops it to Jones. Bears have to punt. [via Twitter]

3:09 – Jason: Thus ends the 3rd quarter.

3:09 – Ken: Two bad throws in a row by Maynard. Haven’t seen it much this season and do’t’ want to get accustomed to it.

3:10 – GoldenBlogs: Anger smashes a 52 yard punt…but it rolls into the end zone. The 4th quarter starts with UW on their own 20. 24-23, UW. [via Twitter]

3:11 – Ken: It’s not the 20 yard line that worries me, it’s the UW offense giving the Cal D fits that does.

3:12 – [NoBetterThanSolid: half yard away from bouncing backwards from the 1, instead of a touchback]

3:12 – [AlohaBear: Ugh about a yardor two too long]

3:12 – Jason: holding.

3:12 – Ken: that better stinking be a hold

3:12 – [NoBetterThanSolid: holding]

3:12 – Jason: -throws yellow flag-

3:13 – OkanesonCal: That last punt by Bryan Anger was only his second of the day. Washington’s Kiel Rasp has only punted once. [via Twitter]

3:13 – GoldenBlogs: Refs finally call a hold. Pressure from Guyton forces the UW OT to grab jersey. [via Twitter]

3:13 – [3 Fatalistic Fans: Thanks for that]

3:13 – Ken: I like that playcall on1st and 20.

3:14 – GoldenBlogs: UW backed up to their own 11. 2nd and 19. Hold em Bears! [via Twitter]

3:14 – Ken: Oh, that’s garbage!

3:15 – Jason: BS penalty.

3:15 – [Sean: No way]

3:15 – GoldenBlogs: Refs call Tipoti for roughing the passer, contact to the head. Weak call, but it bails UW out of bad field position. [via Twitter]

3:15 – Jason: Holding again, but they get the sack….

3:15 – Jason: Where’s the flag? The first guy was held, only reason he didn’t get a sack.

3:15 – [NoBetterThanSolid: hands to the face == automatic roughing]

3:15 – Ken: Unintetntional elbow glances across the facemask and they call that helmet to helmet?

3:15 – GoldenBlogs: Bears shake off the disappointing penalty and respond with a sack. Guyton and Kendricks meet at the QB. [via Twitter]

3:15 – Jason: Good acting.

3:16 – [Sean: Roughing the passer, QB was struck with spitwad, 15 yard penalty.]

3:16 – OkanesonCal: LBs Chris McCain and Cecil Whiteside are turning into three-down players in this game. [via Twitter]

3:16 – [NoBetterThanSolid: i guess they’re using nfl ‘protect the qb at all costs’ rules]

3:16 – [Calbearsfan: god what is up with these wash players]

3:17 – Jason: Cal’s defense was replaced with a biker gang for this game

3:17 – Jason: big play.

3:17 – Jason: yet again.

3:17 – Jason: so, two sets of good defensive plays, negated by a penalty and a big play. sigh.

3:17 – Jason: I feel like I’ve seen that before…

3:17 – [3 Fatalistic Fans: ARRRRGGGGHHHHHH!]

3:17 – Ken: How do you get fooled on that one? It was off screen, but it was obvious who the assignment was on that one

3:17 – [katster: of course.]

3:17 – [NoBetterThanSolid: oh what the hell]

3:17 – [kidnebraska: ugh]

3:18 – Jason: Some serious mistakes out there.

3:18 – GoldenBlogs: 3rd and long. Line holds. Polk runs past Holt and Price hits him in stride for an easy TD. 31-23, UW. [via Twitter]

3:18 – Jason: I hate to see Cal get beaten by their own bad play, which is what this feels like…

3:18 – GoldenBlogs: There had to be a breakdown in coverage. No deep safety help down the middle. [via Twitter]

3:19 – Ken: It’s starting to look like I predicted the score backwards.

3:19 – Ken: But let’s remember, we’re only one score down

3:20 – Ken: Note to Tedford: if we score a TD soon, go for 2… now’s when you want to know how short you are.

3:20 – [Calbearsfan: i think this is where i sign off]

3:20 – [Calbearsfan: have a great week Ken, Jason]

3:20 – [NoBetterThanSolid: holt vs polk is a mismatch…no sure where the safeties were on that play]

3:20 – [katster: I know. And there’s still plenty of time.]

3:20 – GoldenBlogs: Cal only rushed 4, should have had better coverage downfield. Safety play has been uneven against better QBs this year. [via Twitter]

3:20 – OkanesonCal: Washington LB John Timu is moving his extremeties. Was taken to local hospoital for neck X-rays. [via Twitter]

3:21 – OkanesonCal: That was the first TD catch of Chris Polk’s career. [via Twitter]

3:21 – GoldenBlogs: Crap. That was cover zero. Big mismatch there with Polk on Holt. [via Twitter]

3:22 – [NoBetterThanSolid: another personal foul on a kick return?]

3:22 – GoldenBlogs: Bears special teams not helping. Bigs stopped at the 15, then personal foul backs it up half the distance. [via Twitter]

3:22 – GoldenBlogs: RT @brittsantucci: COME ON BEARS! #4thquarterletsgo [via Twitter]

3:23 – Jason: Well, this is not looking good all of a sudden. This is basically the first backed-up stop of the game.

3:24 – Jason: UW can put it away here.

3:24 – Ken: We need a turnover or a big defensive play right now

3:24 – GoldenBlogs: Maynard has been shaky this half. Needs to gather himself. Anger has a nice boot from his own endzone, but good field position for UW. [via Twitter]

3:24 – Jason: I’m getting really tired of these big plays killing us. I would rather be killed by long drives, thanks.

3:24 – [katster: c’mon. if we ever needed a turnover…]

3:25 – Ken: Think back to BBDB Jason and you may feel differently

3:26 – Jason: No, nothing more unfulfilling than knowing you played pretty well, but your performance on three individual plays doomed you.

3:26 – Jason: First down.

3:26 – [LANYBear: are you KIDDING me?!]

3:26 – [AlohaBear: You were saying about long drives Jason …]

3:26 – Jason: Foreshadowing.

3:27 – Jason: Okay, you’re right. These announcers are awful.

3:27 – Jason: ball

3:27 – Jason: yes

3:27 – [Bub: yes!!!]

3:27 – Ken: YES! Just what we needed.

3:28 – Jason: wow

3:28 – Jason: Ball one, player zero.

3:28 – GoldenBlogs: FUMBLE!!!! UW’s TE was rumbling for a TE, but gets stripped by the gang-tackle and the Bears come up with it! [via Twitter]

3:28 – [katster: turnover?]

3:28 – [NoBetterThanSolid: oh yes!]

3:28 – [AlohaBear: Nice!]

3:28 – [LANYBear: freshman mistake]

3:29 – crumpackeroncal: Guess what? Another big pass play by Huskies and they lead 31-23 early in 4th Q.#calfb [via Twitter]

3:29 – Ken: Don’t like the Bears taking a timeout. We may need them and you’ve got to pounce on the momentum change.

3:29 – Ken: But if your offense just isn’t ready, I guess you’ve got no choice.

3:29 – crumpackeroncal: Timely fumble recovery by Cal’s Sean Cattouse to thwart Washington drive. Safety D.J. Campbell punched ball out of tight end’s hands.#calfb [via Twitter]

3:30 – [AlohaBear: Don’t waste a time out!]

3:30 – [Bub: Make it count, Bears!]

3:30 – [NoBetterThanSolid: timeout call? what the hell?]

3:30 – [katster: Okay. We can do this, Bears.]

3:30 – [LANYBear: did we really burn a timeout coming off a turnover in a close game? arrrrrrrrrrrgh]

3:31 – [AlohaBear: UCLA in victory formation in the desperation bowl]

3:31 – Jason: Unreal

3:31 – [LANYBear: YES! i believe neweasel deserves an extension]

3:31 – Jason: Look, the reverse worked. It didn’t seem to be that fast, but somehow nobody got to him.

3:31 – [NoBetterThanSolid: i think we just missed a play…]

3:32 – Jason: fumble?

3:32 – [katster: of course.]

3:32 – Jason: cal ball

3:32 – [Sean: Whew]

3:32 – [LANYBear: we’re getting really lucky with those fumbles]

3:32 – [AlohaBear: Secure that ball Z. That was held well away from the body]

3:33 – [NoBetterThanSolid: what happened on the first down play? i didn’t get it]

3:33 – Jason: oh for pete’s sake.

3:33 – Jason: NBTS, was it the reverse for a long gain?

3:33 – [3 Fatalistic Fans: Don’t call me Shirley!]

3:33 – Jason: that’s not a first down, Zack.

3:33 – Ken: You have to go here.

3:33 – Jason: Got to go for it now.

3:33 – [LANYBear: wow, he’s really struggling now]

3:33 – [NoBetterThanSolid: yeah i didn’t get that on my feed…i blame comcast :p]

3:33 – [LANYBear: oh, never mind. just saw the replay]

3:34 – [NoBetterThanSolid: have to go for it]

3:34 – Jason: Jeff Tedford has NEVER been a gambler.

3:34 – [katster: tedford, a gambler?]

3:34 – Ken: HA! JTetdford a gambler… that’s a good one

3:34 – Jason: He is as conservative as they come.

3:34 – GoldenBlogs: Big 4th and 3. Tedford is going! [via Twitter]

3:34 – [LANYBear: any reason why we never run screens anymore?]

3:34 – Jason: I don’t like going no RBs in the backfield on 4th and short.

3:34 – Jason: “We are not going to run.”

3:34 – Ken: I’m with you on that one Jason.

3:35 – Jason: Might not even have been a first down if he catches it.

3:35 – [3 Fatalistic Fans: A gambler? Like in Casablanca maybe.]

3:35 – [katster: augh, he should have had that.]

3:35 – [LANYBear: i don’t like throwing to a rb as a primary receiver on a 4th down]

3:35 – GoldenBlogs: Sofele gets drilled and can’t make the catch on 4th down. Cal turns the ball over on downs. [via Twitter]

3:35 – Jason: think that was our chance, folks.

3:35 – Ken: If the defense lets that happen again, it’s all over. The defense needs to dig deep.

3:35 – GoldenBlogs: On replay, ball bounced off Sofele’s shoulder pads before contact. (doh) [via Twitter]

3:35 – [AlohaBear: Ugh, Polk for a first down]

3:35 – [katster: Yeah.]

3:35 – [katster: But I’m staying until the bitter end.]

3:35 – [Sean: Yea. Probably the end now…]

3:36 – Jason: I don’t like the playcalling from Sarkisian here either.

3:36 – Jason: “We are not going to pass” is as bad as “We are not going to run.”

3:36 – Ken: OK, key 3rd down here.

3:37 – GoldenBlogs: 3rd and 7. Can the Bears get the ball back with 4:30 to go? [via Twitter]

3:37 – Jason: You can’t say Cal didn’t have its chances today.

3:37 – [katster: stopped!]

3:37 – [LANYBear: questionable playcall there…]

3:37 – [Bearzilla: a glimmer of hope…]

3:37 – GoldenBlogs: Yes! Price overthrows Aguilar. Anthony with tight coverage. Good game from #2. UW has to punt. [via Twitter]

3:37 – Jason: Heckuva job, Cal-y.

3:38 – [AlohaBear: How about a return here, but hang on to that ball!]

3:38 – Ken: boy was that a mirror image of some bad Cal 4th quarters… you just can’t do the line up and run it up the middle thing.

3:39 – GoldenBlogs: Here’s how legends start. Cal ball. Own 10. 4:19 to play. Trailing by 8. Game on. Whatchu got, Maynard? #gobears [via Twitter]

3:40 – Ken: Good point CGB

3:40 – [katster: Okay, Bears.]

3:40 – [katster: Half-brother time! (y’all take that drink now.)]

3:40 – [NoBetterThanSolid: yikes…this half, our starting field positions included own 12, 24, 7, and 10]

3:41 – Jason: Cal’s offense has just stalled.

3:41 – Ken: Here’s a hint: throw over the middle. We haven’t been doing well on the edges.

3:41 – Jason: Maynard’s streaky, you say? I’m seeing it.

3:41 – Jason: flags…

3:41 – Jason: You’re going the right way.

3:42 – Ken: Who was it who jinxed us?

3:42 – [katster: and there’s the false start.]

3:42 – [LANYBear: well, there’s our false start]

3:42 – Jason: I count 5 fatalistic fans now 🙂

3:42 – GoldenBlogs: Because 2nd and 10 fro mthe 13 is too easy, how about a false start? [via Twitter]

3:43 – Jason: drop.

3:43 – [katster: I’m a Cal fan. I hope and dread equally.]

3:43 – [3 Fatalistic Fans: That announcer is laughing at us!]

3:43 – [NoBetterThanSolid: have to catch that]

3:43 – Jason: If Tedford was a gambler, they’d go for it here.

3:43 – Jason: Well, they’re going anyway. Good.

3:43 – [NoBetterThanSolid: sounds like we’re going for it]

3:43 – GoldenBlogs: Ball knocked away from KA on 3rd and 3. Ballgame here. 4th and ulp. [via Twitter]

3:44 – [LANYBear: i’m confused… why don’t we even threaten the defense with maynard’s running ability?]

3:44 – [katster: ALLEN!]

3:44 – [NoBetterThanSolid: YES]

3:44 – Ken: That was huge. I can’t believe they let him run that fee

3:44 – Ken: free

3:44 – GoldenBlogs: Maynard to KA. It’s good. Bears are still alive. [via Twitter]

3:44 – Jason: He’s open. Nice one.

3:44 – Jason: They’ve seen that play before, guys.

3:45 – Jason: The very same play. Identical. They’ve got it.

3:45 – [NoBetterThanSolid: i’m not sure i like that with 3 minutes left, clock running]

3:45 – Jason: They’re hoping for the big play… but no.

3:45 – [NoBetterThanSolid: we’re setting it up for a reverse pass…which we won’t have time to run]

3:45 – [LANYBear: hey guys, let’s huddle up… it’s not like time i ticking or anything]

3:45 – Jason: I don’t think time is the issue.

3:45 – Jason: That’s not PI, folks.

3:46 – Jason: Allen with the conversion!

3:46 – GoldenBlogs: Trufant bumps Jones. No call. Another 3rd and 9…No problem. KA moves the chains. [via Twitter]

3:46 – [LANYBear: that’s more PI than steve williams’ was]

3:46 – Jason: I’m not sure it was.

3:46 – Ken: No it wasn’t PI, but it was no less than a couple that have een called earlier.

3:46 – [katster: go bears!]

3:46 – [Curt: Run two crappy plays, then hit KA on third and long. Keep running it, I guess.]

3:46 – [NoBetterThanSolid: good throwaway]

3:46 – [3 Fatalistic Fans: Why was the clock running?]

3:47 – Jason: First down only stops the clock until they spot the ball

3:48 – [LANYBear: pretty close to intentional grounding there, no? he was BARELY outside the left tackle there]

3:48 – Jason: that play has been there a lot

3:48 – Jason: I don’t know the college grounding rule, but he threw it way past the line of scrimmage, which I think is relevant

3:48 – Ken: I know it was 3rd down, but that was a lot of time off the clock

3:48 – GoldenBlogs: Clutch catch by Sofele. Then KA again moves the chains. Bears to the 35… [via Twitter]

3:48 – [LANYBear: okay, now time really is a consideration…]

3:49 – GoldenBlogs: Bears fake the reverse, go deep. Jones draws the PI call this time. [via Twitter]

3:49 – Jason: Two timeouts left

3:49 – [LANYBear: PI!]

3:49 – Jason: That’s a gift from UW.

3:49 – [LANYBear: i guess now we know why they ran the reverse twice]

3:49 – [Bearzilla: clock management grade: D-]

3:50 – [NoBetterThanSolid: 48 seconds, 2 TO, form the 21? not bad]

3:50 – [LANYBear: jason, just saying time is a consideration bc the run really isn’t an option anymore]

3:50 – GoldenBlogs: Maynard is dealing now. Hits KA at the 3! 1st and goal Bears. [via Twitter]

3:50 – Jason: I suppose, but I don’t think there were going to be a lot of runs anyway, even if there were 30 more seconds on the clock

3:50 – Jason: Well, maybe we’ll get a chance to tie. That should be stressful.

3:50 – [3 Fatalistic Fans: OK we are going nuts here]

3:50 – [NoBetterThanSolid: time is a consideration if we don’t get the 2-pointer…]

3:51 – Jason: If we don’t get the 2-pointer the game would almost certainly have been over anyway.

3:51 – Jason: Now, two timeouts, you need to at least show the run.

3:51 – Jason: As a possibility.

3:51 – Jason: okay, they did. timeout.

3:51 – [LANYBear: agreed, jason. i guess the most we’d see is something like a maynard rollout or option]

3:51 – [NoBetterThanSolid: yeah, true]

3:51 – [LANYBear: i’d really like to see a maynard roll-out here]

3:51 – GoldenBlogs: Sofele takes it to the 1. 3rd and goal. 30s. Timeout Cal. [via Twitter]

3:52 – Jason: I’m sensitive to the accusations of time management but I sort of feel like Cal was right to play this as a one-possession game. either you score or you don’t, and in that approach with two timeouts I’m not sure time was ever much of a factor. I dunno.

3:52 – [LANYBear: ugh… CJA would have been even better there]

3:52 – [katster: alright, c’mon bears.]

3:52 – Jason: I feel like if they bring in CJ there, don’t you think it sends the obvious message that they’re running him?

3:52 – Jason: They don’t use him enough in non-passing plays, I think. For him to be a decoy.

3:53 – Jason: okay, two runs? That’s… interesting

3:53 – [NoBetterThanSolid: yeah, onside + move the ball 20-30 yards + actually make a field goal == not a good percentage]

3:53 – [LANYBear: that’s true… but also sets up play action roll-out just as effectively]

3:53 – [katster: AAAAARGH]

3:53 – [LANYBear: but i guess you’re right that he’s rarely in passing package situations]

3:53 – [katster: we’ve got to go.]

3:53 – Ken: OK, basically we need two 2-point conversions in a row, so to speak

3:53 – Jason: Well, so, Cal now needs to score touchdowns on two consecutive plays or this game is over.

3:53 – Jason: Ha! Ken. Yes.

3:53 – GoldenBlogs: Sofele gets stuffed. 4th and goal, now from the 2. Cal uses their last timeout. 12s to go. [via Twitter]

3:53 – [NoBetterThanSolid: two runs–with sofele]

3:53 – [LANYBear: as;ldkgha;lsdkgha;lskdgh;aslkdghdsg]

3:53 – Jason: I concur, LANYBear.

3:54 – Jason: So… a couple of exciting games so far this year, eh?

3:54 – [Curt: Cal O-line got manhandled there.]

3:54 – Jason: Armchair playcaller here, I would’ve passed on 3rd.

3:54 – [NoBetterThanSolid: fade to keenan?]

3:54 – [3 Fatalistic Fans: I think we need to call the paramedics to LANYBear’s house…]

3:54 – Jason: There’s your overthrow.

3:54 – Jason: First of the game.

3:55 – Jason: Well, good game Huskies.

3:55 – [katster: …game over.]

3:55 – [Curt: Pretty much.]

3:55 – [AlohaBear: Perfect call, bad throw]

3:55 – [kidnebraska: well, Maynard finally overthrew a receiver]

3:55 – Ken: You gotta give your receiver a chance, May nard.

3:55 – Jason: he’s open.

3:55 – [Sean: Damnit]

3:55 – GoldenBlogs: Maynard has KA one on one. Throws the fade…too far. Game over. Bears lose. 31-23. [via Twitter]

3:55 – Jason: That was a TD if he throws it right.

3:55 – [LANYBear: well, if you can’t score from the 2 yard line with 4 plays, you don’t really deserve to win]

3:55 – Jason: I agree.

3:55 – Ken: Particularly since a PI would give you extra downs.

3:55 – [Bearzilla: another anguishing loss……]

3:55 – [katster: yeah, that was a TD.]

3:55 – Jason: Interdivision play!

3:56 – Jason: So important!

3:56 – GoldenBlogs: Grade the Bears and discuss Cal-Washington on the post game open thread http://sbn.to/rsxCIP [via Twitter]

3:56 – Jason: Momentum and interdivision play.

3:56 – Jason: Okay, well. There you go. Always tough to win on the road. Cal’s 0-1 in the Pac-12 with Oregon, USC, and Utah ahead. Hoo boy.

3:56 – [Curt: Thanks all. Well done.]

3:56 – Jason: Thanks to everyone.

3:57 – GoldenBlogs: RT @DonovanEdwards: Good game cal! Tough loss for my boys! [via Twitter]

3:57 – [3 Fatalistic Fans: We all need therapy now…bye!]
