Super nervous here. Wilcox was our number 1 choice as HC, according to Canzano and Wilner. Both are never wrong, or turn the facts to their narrative. Cal always plays us tough, could be an upset alert. Should have beat a top 5 USC team, who I still have the best in the pac….. Am I doing this right?

Cal’s QB looks really good for little experience.

However on the road on a hostile environment, Oregon should win this one no problem. I do see though Cal maybe a bit more points on us than we’d like to see. But a little wake up call before an explosive USC offense is cool with me.

So glad that Oregon didn't hire Wilcox. That would have been worse than the Helfrich, Taggart or Mario hires. As someone asked, "if Wilcox wasn't a Duck, would we even be looking at him as a candidate for Oregon's head football coach?"

I get the sarcasm here, but in all seriousness, don't sleep on Cal

The team has really been playing like they know they are their biggest opponent. I don't doubt Cal will give us their best shot, I just don't think that this team is going to be bothered much by the Bears.

A little off-topic but whatever: Oregon is now odds-on favorite to win the P12 championship and not by an insignificant amount, with UO at +100 and UW at +160.

I'm going to sleep on Cal just to see what happens.

Cal is the worst coached team in the conference and Ducks might be the best and Oregon has far superior talent so I’m thinking this one should be an easy win for Oregon. Just stay healthy Ducks!

By biggest head scratcher with cal is, why on earth did Mario decide to yank Otts offer? He would have been dynamic with our RB room.

My Cal buddy always likes to remind me of this and asks if Oregon has any other guys they want to kick to the curb for Cal to take.

Can you blame him? Ott wasn't a 5 star recruit

Just another one of Mario's many curious star-chasing, recruiting decisions.
