Perception problems
(Written by kencraw)
Have you noticed that in certain corners of the Pac-12 commentator world, every team that loses to Cal “is in real trouble” or “a mess” or “under performing”? It seems there are certain people who assume the Bears are bad and when they win, it can’t mean they might be good, but that the team they beat must be even worse.

Call it the curse of 1-11. If we can eke out a bowl visit this year that will begin to change.

Yeah, it’s definitely about where the team has been. It’s just surprising to me that this late in the season it’s still the perception. Cal took Arizona and UCLA to the wire, and hung around with Oregon as good as most. Yet we beat OSU and they must be horrible.

I agree, I read an article the other day about bowl teams that are on the bubble, and they must have mentioned every 5 win team in the country except Cal.
