Loading ...It seemed Cal was trying to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. And it was a harrowing experience. Dixon’s last two downfield marches were like Chinese water torture. Actually, due to our Post Traumatic Oregon Losses Disorder (PTOLD), they were probably worse than Chinese water torture. The bitter Eugene defeat has been an annual rite of passage for Cal football fans. The feeling of seeing yet another game slip towards that awful conclusion ceased seeming surreal years ago.
But, thankgodfully it’s all over. No more curse, just the joy of watching us leapfrog all those other upset-foiled teams. The Clog emphatically shouts, “Woo-hoo!”
And here our profound thoughts:
No. 6 Bears Stun No. 11 Ducks 31-24 at Autzen Stadium [Daily Cal]

Avinash, you seemed to have missed the second part of that sentenc- “in the closing minutes.”
Maybe he has to be able to read for the Clog to consider him good.

he still wasnt awful…he led the team down two pivotal drives…a little luck on our side that the ball got knocked out of colvin’s hands.

The original post was as quoted—it was edited. And it still doesn’t make much sense, he took his team 125 yards in 150 seconds on those final drives. Those final two turnovers were due to a Cal defender batting the pass to Alualu, and he had no control over that fumble.

It’s Dickson, not Dicksan. The involuntary pilates comment was the first thing that has ever made me laugh (in a good way) when reading the Daily Clog.

“Dixon was terrible.”
Oh yeah, he was awful. 31-44 for 306 yards?
Christ, I’d like to know what you’d have to do for the Clog to consider you good.
