WSU Vs. California: Open Football Game Thread

Washington St. Cougars at California Golden Bears, Nov 5, 2011 3:30 PM PDT




It's hard to believe this season is two-thirds over. It seems like just yesterday that WSU was annihilating both Idaho State and UNLV, and visions of bowl games were dancing in our heads. Four consecutive losses later, the Cougars need three wins in their final four games to get to the postseason.

It's unlikely, we'll all agree. But you never know.

One link you won't see above is Craig's preview of Cal. Do yourself a favor and read it if you haven't yet -- it'll prepare you for how hard it's going to be for the WSU offense to move the ball against Cal, and maybe you won't be totally mad if it doesn't happen.

Also, pray for lots and lots of Zach Maynard turnovers.

Go Cougs!

There’s really nothing else good in Detroit, generally speaking. The steakhouse isn’t really that good, but it’s about average for steakhouses in major cities. Nothing special. Compared to everything else in Detroit, though, the steakhouse stands out as something really good, and it’s all people talk about when they go there.

We have effort

We just are making really bad mistakes. We are making those mistakes at full speed, but it doesn’t change that we are in bad positions, are missing blocks, and our QB can’t hit anything today and has happy feet.

I am about to make a dumb and unreasonable statement

If you’re the sort of person who believes in these things (WHICH I AM NOT), this doesn’t look like a team that’s rallying around their embattled coach or anything.

Which again, I don’t believe, but also can’t imagine this is helpful to Wulff’s future prospects.

I think The World would have a 35-0 half time lead

And after the game CPW would talk about youth, missing Tuel, and how he saw some good things out there but The World just played really well.

I haven't really seen much of it.

And not saying it isn’t warranted, but let’s avoid the “big picture” coaching staff type stuff in the second half. Gamethreads are supposed to be fun for the most part, and that stuff never is.

I want to talk about something else. Pac 12 officiating might be worse than Pac 10.

Have you been watching these blind zee-donks today? Let alone the “Casey Locker is evil” letter and personal foul that wasn’t (and then improperly enforced)… they have barely been spotting the ball correctly, if anything. Not just our game (and not just against the Cougs). The F-ups in the OSU-Furd game were epic by themselves.

I think, in addition to making conclusions about this Cougar staff, we can draw some conclusions about the work Larry Scott has done in supposedly improving the officiating in this league. To use a dumb cliche, it is full of FAIL.

I can’t stand watching the games, even the ones I don’t care about, because some random officiating decision will kill a drive or a play, or a game. As fans, we deserve better.

Mad as hell and too sad to talk about anything else.

I really do love Jeff Tuel. In a Coug way.

I don't think it's worse at all. In fact I think it's better

Take away all the ‘targetting’ calls and they are much better than the past. When did they ever spot the ball well?

Now all we need to do is get Mr Scott to talk to them about the rule. I’ll put money on it the are following direction here or it would have stopped weeks ago. But it hasn’t

by woolybugger on Nov 5, 2011 5:21 PM PDT up reply actions  

I don't think we can unload on Scott that much

Until after the season.

But I am disappointed that we havne’t heard them really fess up to being obviously terrible. The PR part of this has been terrible.

by Dids on Nov 5, 2011 5:22 PM PDT up reply actions  

The pr does need to get better

I can understand holding coaches to a standard, but I don’t recall him ever saying during those statements that the officiating needs to change.
Yes, penalize the coach but don’t defend the officials.

Last year we played No. 12 Stanford on the road and lost by 10.

Then got stomped 42-0 in Tempe by a mediocre Arizona State. This year, we played No.7 Oregon on the road and lost by 15 and are about to get stomped by a mediocre Cal. I LOVE IT!

by 206Coug on Nov 5, 2011 5:52 PM PDT reply actions  

Eh, we played Stanford alright for a half.

I don’t call losing by 30 playing “pretty well” though.

by 206Coug on Nov 5, 2011 5:55 PM PDT up reply actions  

I guess?

I wasn’t too impressed with the Stanford game this year. I was much more excited about dominating Oregon AT Autzen in yards, first downs, time of possession, etc. Moral victories and being competitive only go so far, but that was definitely a losing effort I was still proud of (aside from special teams).

he wasn’t out of bounds and any point and caught the ball with his back on the ground.
