Down 7-41, Berkeley wants an apology from Ron Rivera and lit Tosh's seat before the ashes even cooled.
The emotional rollercoaster
California fans’ misery during the game, every 15 minutes. Up is worse.
What happened
Cal lost 7-41 to Wake Forest at home, which is less a football score than a receipt, and the season tipped to 3-4. The turning point wasn't a play; it was the point in the afternoon when the stands realized nobody on the field seemed to be playing for anyone. One fan read it as "a total locker room mutiny," with Tosh's seat "scorching hot" and Rolo the emergency exit. Another decided "Ron Rivera owes the city of Berkeley an apology." Misery climbed from 72 to 84, and the apology list keeps growing.
What fans said
“Ron Rivera owes the city of Berkeley an apology. That being said the future of our once great program is bleak.”

“Feels like a total locker room mutiny to me. Tosh's seat went from cool to scorching hot in the span of one game. He better be fired and replaced by Rolo, now. >!It's not like he has a contract or anything.!<”
