Big Game Postgame Update:

• Toby Gerhart can be stopped.
• Shane Vereen can’t be.

I’m not going to argue this for long, but Gerhart was stopped by Harbaugh, not Cal.  Vereen had an awesome game, though when it mattered most (on Cal’s last two drives) he couldn’t move the sticks by himself.  Tedford’s play not to lose mentality _almost_ lost the game there.  Anyway, for the night, Gerhart had better YPC numbers, and even if you discount his monster run (which is dumb, since that’s part of the way YPCs work), he was still over 4 yards per a carry.  Harbaugh panicked at the end;  all we had to do was run it in and that game was over…

(BTW - blaming the game on Harbaugh vs. viewing it as a great play by a Cal player at the end is the difference between viewing this as a Level X and a Level III loss for a Stanford fan.  I’m going with Level X…)

Good game to Cal.  They finally won a big game (not The Big Game, which they’ve been doing for a while now), so good for them…

Ugh

Harbaugh’s immaturity is still there.  Once we got to the 14, he had his chance to take a deep breath, see we had 1:30 to go, a running back who had scored 4 tds already, and only a 6 point deficit in front of us.  He was 3 or 4 handoffs away from giving Toby his 5th touchdown, getting the axe back, and getting that “Heisman Moment” everyone’s been looking for.  Instead, he let Luck continue to play in comeback mode, taking unnecessary risks, and ultimately losing the game.

Tonight was a battle between two coaches who didn’t want to win.  Tedford with his “center the ball” call and Harbaugh with his failure to run.  Tedford lost that battle, ultimately winning the game.

Why do we need to learn something when we can just google it?

And Omar — the things that are worth learning instead of googling I already know because I do them often enough. For those other things that aren’t worth taking up space in my brain, I’m more than happy to google when I need them.

You answered your own question?

it’s crazy that no one our generation knows how - understandable, but something worth learning i think.

Why do we need to learn something when we can just google it?

That’s what I always end up doing with regular neckties too.

The bolded statement implies lots of funny things.  It’s also wrong, as it discounts the fact that googling something may take longer than the act itself in many cases.

… nate longshore threw a bevy of picks to lose the game for cal.

oops, didn’t realize i had to be specific.  i’m talking about the big game in 2007.

… casey moore caught a touchdown over the middle in overtime to extend’s stanford’s big game streak to six?

… casey moore ran 98 yards putting an end to cal’s deltha o’neal’s chances of spoiling our rose bowl bid?

vamsi was bald, and i didn’t know?
