Honestly, the time zone excuse is such a cop-out EGD. Cal is making this basketball school look like a BCS team right now.
Cop out? Go look at the historical results of how teams do traveling multiple time zones especially right out of the block. Their offense is looking better now although it stalled late in the drive. Their defense can't get off the field on 3rd down but if they correct that, they will be fine.
Whoroman is just an idiot who looks to jump on any anti Pac-10 argument he can just to continue his obsession with USC.
