poor execution from the coaching staff on down.

if the media doesn't fry Coach Pete for his late game clock management (this is FAR from the first time) they won't ever fry him for anything. i hate his fucking saintly image for this reason (and he looks even more saintly compared to Cutty Sark which doesn't help).

this is one of those games where in the long run it will be a "good" loss because there's a lot of lessons to be learned all around plus i don't know why people are acting like it's a tragedy for the Playoff because we weren't going there ANYWAY, but in the immediate moment it sucks because Cal has no business even being that close to us especially in a home game.

edit: also, EASON made like 5 guys enter the transfer protocol so he better step it the fuck up.
