Well, Cal had a bye yesterday. It seems a bit early to have a weekend off but they did start their season in August. And, they played Sacramento State last weekend. Cal has a shitty schedule this year. Athletic Directors should lose their jobs over a schedule like this. Oh yea, Sandy Barbour resigned/was dismissed as Cal's AD this summer. She's at Penn St. now and Cal is left with a shitty schedule. It never feels right when Cal ends the regular season against a team other than Stanford. This year Cal plays BYU on Thanksgiving weekend. The weekend after the Big Game. Maybe the BYU game was supposed to be the game that should have been played yesterday. Anyway, here's Cal's shitty 2014 schedule.
8/30 at Northwestern - W, 31-24
9/6 Sacramento St.- W, 55-14
9/20 at Arizona
9/27 Colorado
10/4 at Washington St.
10/11 Washington
10/18 UCLA
10/24 Oregon-at Santa Clara
11/1 at Oregon St.
11/13 at USC
11/22 Stanford
11/29 BYU
So, we have a very early bye week. A second bye week on the weekend of Nov. 8. A home game against Oregon that is actually played at the San Francisco 49ers new stadium in Santa Clara on a Friday night. It's always fun for students to travel to a home game on a Friday night. That's not a recipe for disaster. The USC game is played on a Thursday night. It has been a tradition for decades for Cal fraternities to jump into big ol Winnebagos for a road trip down to the game against one of the L.A. schools. A Thursday night game this time. Excellent? Then we have the regular season-ending game against BYU. Shitty, shitty schedule.
The 2015 schedule is much better. All three non-conference games open the season so the Big Game is probably the regular season finale as it always should be. The non-conference games are interesting. Grambling, San Diego St., and Texas. That's a real nice change from the shitty 2014 schedule.
Since Cal had no game yesterday, the Flea Flicker will boldly predict the outcomes of today's NFL games.
Miami over Buffalo
Detroit over Carolina
Atlanta over Cincinnati
New Orleans over Cleveland
Minnesota over New England-of course
New York Giants over Arizona
Dallas over Tennessee
Washington over Jacksonville
Seattle over San Diego
Tampa Bay over St. Louis
Denver over Kansas City
Green Bay over New York Jets
Oakland over Houston
San Francisco over Chicago
Monday Night
Indianapolis over Philadelphia
I will close today with a quote from New York Jets defensive end Sheldon Richardson.
"When I see myself on film, I pat myself on the back."
