(I know, I know, Autzen and rain and whatnot;)
Wind could be a factor, with gusts up to 31mph.

When was that rainstorm... 2008?

At this point still looks like a pretty decent chance of rain for mid-to-late afternoon, though supposedly of the more showery type rather than just stratiform rain.

Well we do have a pretty good run game! I haven't researched Cal's run defense statistics, but if I call correctly we weren't supposed to be able to run against Utah either. I like our chances regardless of rain

Ducks 45 Cal 14

defense gets 4 sacks, 5+ hurries, 2 ints, 6 TFL

Bucky and Jordan rush for a combined 240 yds, 4 TDs
Bo runs for one, throws for 1

Go Ducks!!!

Agreed, closer though, I may go 45-21, based on their new found QB. But on the whole, with wins only against Idaho, North Texas and ASU, definitely not impressive in any way. Gotta hope the Ducks aren’t overconfident. But a Cal crushing at home is what I see.

I like us at home in rain, wind, sun, quicksand, and pretty much any other condition one could think of.

I’m imagining this will feel like the WSU game. Cal will show up confident and motivated after last week. Closer in the first half than we’d like, with Cal extending some drives on frustrating third down conversions and Oregon penalties, but we pull away and it’s over mid-3rd quarter. Ty Thompson makes some plays in garbage time:) 38-20.

I walked to buy my daily coffee and dang near drowned. I laughed. If this was snow we would be buried by game time.

Got up in the night and was wondering if it was gonna flood here in Portland. Too bad "Small Hands Goff" isn't Cal's QB.

In 2013, Cal played in Eugene in a monsoon (the remnants of Typhoon Pabuk). I've never been so wet and miserable. The rain was coming down sideways. Cal could not hang on to the ball (the first four Cal possessions ended with fumbles lost in their own territory). Cal benched their starting QB. It was comical.

Oregon led 41-3 at halftime, so my family and I decided to leave.

I was at that game in a seat on the south side just outside the edge of the roof. Every so often a wind gust would blow the water off the roof and it was like someone was throwing 5 gal. buckets of water down.

Most definately a soaker!
