cal men's basketball attendance: DEAD last #18 in the acc

rich, now is the time to FIRE the co athletic director ****tards jay larson & jennifer simon-o'neil (not berkeley grads) for their far ranging failures from working against the football program, not selling tixs to either of the basketball programs which are playing in front of pathetic sonoma state level crowds with precipitously declining sr citizen fanbases & their unlikeable personalities which has hindered any fundraising for a critically needed dedicated basketball practice facility

yeah in case you haven't figured it out, cal's monster class isn't about winning football games, it's not about making a par 3 on the poorly bunkered 16th hole at brambles, it's not about dating and marrying a curvy brunette yoga female that knows how to dine with chopsticks, it's about moving young men with high gpas toward academically elite schools like berkeley, stanford and the ivy league so when they take their place in the world it's with generational wealth and an oceanside patio table at nobu malibu

Cal LB Buom Jock is entering the transfer portal, per @PeteNakos.

The 6-foot-5, 235-pound LB has 136 career tackles, 1 forced fumble and 1 INT. https://t.co/kSYG7dYADj pic.twitter.com/XSCvuQYWDw

— Transfer Portal (@TransferPortal) December 3, 2025

apparently buom is NOT aware that berkeley, stanford & ivy league degrees lead to building generational wealth in a ruthlessly competitive global economy that with the escalating advances in ai technology are widening the wealth gap between those with diplomas from ELITE academic institutions & the un/undereducated poor that are chasing nfl/nba dreams that are NOT realistic

no berkeley degree, this is NOT a 50 year decision, sadly this is the struggle that must be for those without mentors in life...but make no mistake about it, there's no bigger fan of #46 always high motor 3.4 gpa anchorage alaska native aaron hampton than shocky!!

monster mailbag: liane wong, the director of public records office in berkeley, is advising me that coach lupoi's contract is currently in "draft format" and that the "premature release" of this document is clearly outlawed per multiple unverifiable legal statutes such as inverse condensation & imminent domain and to circle back again when the canadian geese fly home for the summer

bottom line, liane is NOT gonna give shocky **** for a while re: tosh's contract

monster mailbag:

Dear Shockey,

How are you?

I am fine.

Look UCLA may have the worst offensive line in the history of college football in 2026 but make no mistake about it I've already offered Jaivian "the Jet" Thomas a $1,000,000 dismemberment and accidental death life insurance policy to protect his and Javona's best interests, got it??

coach wilson's mailbag:

https://instagr.am/p/DSLj5qQkp8Z
shocky 100% disagrees with this candy azz soft holiday message to "take time off and recharge batteries," the cal men's golf team is the most undersized squad in d1 golf!!

other than z & berridge, the other 6 guys look like they be on the caldecott tunnel high school girl's cross country junior varsity team or something with their slim jim body frames, no es bueno

yeah these mofos need to WORK their azzs off with s&c development (not an ineffectual sorry azz 3 hours a week like they did this winter) & track their daily protein grams, the team goal should be reporting back to berkeley in january with an aggregate 35+ lbs of new muscle

let's ******* go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

monster mailbag:

shocky got a nice holiday card from his friend joey garon who is general manager of the shanqin bay golf club on hainan island (which is the hawaii of china) inviting me back for a potential 4th visit to literally the most private golf course in the world which this coore & crenshaw masterpiece (easily the best course in asia, it's a world top 25 design in my rankings ballot) that has only been played by a dozen or so westerners lucky enough to visit

there are epic ocean holes with the only structures on the property (unlike housing development pebble beach) being the magnificent clubhouse overlooking the bluffs & the meandering stone walls

https://instagr.am/p/BDilZUghHeU
^ notice the broncs baker level sorry azz leaning tower of pisa form back in the day (the monster is improving in his craft)

cal's monster class MAILBAG (this is ACTUAL email correspondence from this evening with chancellor lyons):

Hi Rich,

How are you??

I am fine.

Yes or No question: is it accurate to say that Berkeley is the #1 ranked public university in the WORLD (vs just the USA)??

-Shocky

____________________________________________________

Thanks Bill.

It's tricky since it's unclear how to categorize Cambridge and Oxford in the UK.

See the attached ChatGPT page on the question of whether Cambridge is considered a public university.

See also the attached page on the fact that in all five rankings that people site for US universities, Berkeley is ranked number one among publics in each of the five.

Rich

____________________________________________________

ChapGPT

Yes-Cambridge is considered a public university in the UK, but the term public works differently in the UK than in the U.S.

Why Cambridge is "public" in the UK sense

-It receives significant public funding (via the Office for Students and UK research councils).

-It is regulated by government bodies and its governance structure is established by statute.

-It does not belong to private owners; it operates as a charitable corporation.

How this differs from U.S. usage

In the U.S., public university usually means a state-owned, state-run institution (e.g., UC Berkeley). Cambridge is not run by the government in that direct way. It's autonomous, self-governing, and organized around independent colleges.

_____________________________________________________

BOTTOM LINE: berkeley is the #1 ranked public university in the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

shocky is forwarding this email correspondence with the berkeley chancellor to andrew mcgraw the chief of staff for the cal football program with instructions that on a go forward berkeley be only referred to as the GREATEST ******* public university on planet earth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

got it??

cam, shocky had multiple conversations with nando's dad in the field club at memorial stadium & also at road games last season, honestly found him to be very unlikeable in an arrogant little league dad kinda way & socially awkward in an intellectually brilliant (he's a doc in miami) kinda way (gave me high functioning spectrum autistic vibes)

last season's señor caca's abrupt bipolar transformation from "98 yard with my teammates" to that late nite badmouthing cal to get jaron to flip to oregon & then faking an injury close to gametime (thereby preventing the staff from giving a qb2 critical practice week reps) in dallas vs smu is most likely a direct result of his dad's misdirected anger (wife suffering from a life threatening medical condition), intense ego gratification needs & unjustified paranoia that his son wuz somehow disrespected in berkeley

a very dialed in source has shared with me that nando tried to come back to the program during the la bowl but he missed his flight & wuz tole by wilcox that the program had already moved on

bottom line, shocky is thrilled that the humble/grounded 3.75 gpa lefty from ewa beach with loving respectful drama free parents is the bears qb1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

while this is a surprising decision shocky thinks the current nfl experience with the tampa bay buccaneers coupled with tosh's direct working relationship at oregon makes jordan sommerville (29 year old asu grad) a solid hire as the next bear's offensive coordinator

it's very clear that tosh is hiring likable extroverted personalities like him that can relentlessly RECRUIT!!

of course cal's expired tv "fans" will complain about his lack of experience but that's how you end up with ******* alcoholic retreads like musgrave & spavital who have worked at gazillions of places until people get tired of their ****

sommerville is a fresh face with a relentless work ethic reputation & will be mentored by rolo in a collegiate football profession that's moving towards younger coaches due to the non stop recruiting/player retention requirements in 2026

2023 golf magazine world top 100 list:

as someone who has played all the world top 100 lists since 1997, very interested in receiving today an advance release of the 2023 rankings (ranked every 2 years) which will be publicly released in december

fun fact: my former caddieing (during my stinson beach high school & college berkeley days in my quest to get PAID) home course san francisco golf club is #38, the cal club is #45 while the olympic lake (#96 in the 2021 rankings) drops out of the world top 100, the just completed gil hanse renovation will hopefully add some fun & more strategic options to the design along with eliminating the weird walk to the 8th tee box from the 7th green...also looking forward to playing coore & crenshaw's brambles when it formally opens in 2024, yeah it's just up the hill from my future t-rex yoga studio in yountville

there are 8 new additions to the 2023 rankings:

#68 the lido (not played)...tom doak's replica based upon historical documents in wisconsin of the charles blair mcdonald no longer in existence masterpiece on long island...slim wadie & shocky will be visiting the sand valley resort next june

#76 point hardy (not played)...coore & crensahw design on the clifftops in st lucia


#85 te arai south (not played)...coore & crenshaw design in the sand dunes north of auckland...slim wadie (who has never been to nz) & shocky gotta a february g2c2 (global golf centurion club) new zealand trip which will also include tara iti (ranked#20), tom doak's te arai (north) course & another trip to my favorite resort in the world cape kidnappers


#88 lofoten links (played)...in northern norway (home of the spectacular northern lights in the winter) shocky played a brisk round in the morning, went with my kids to the beach all afternoon, took an evening sofa king nap & then walked another 18 holes teeing off at the stroke of midnight


#95 shanqin bay (played)...this coore & crenshaw gem on the cliffs of hainan island in china is my favorite course in asia, there's nothing even remotely close in terms of greatness


#96 victoria (played)...very cool mackenzie design in melbourne's sand belt region, this clever australian course with spectacular bunkering starts with a downhill drivable par 4 with a million potential strategies


#97 machrihanish (played)...on a remote scottish isle sits arguably the greatest starting 1st hole in golf


#100 royal cinque ports (played)...the low key kinda scruffy english club got wild azz greens with tumultuous undulations

so right now schulzie is a 97 with 3 to go to complete the latest quest



what's your life adventure (and whose gonna accompany you on your journey)?#

https://instagr.am/p/DJ_wx9strgX
#84 caprock ranch (played)...spectacular gil hanse design with almost half the holes literally hanging over the cliffs of the snake river canyon in remote western nebraska, don't be looking over the 5,000+ foot drop-off edges if u got vertigo evel knievel!!
https://instagr.am/p/DHwYoCiyY4d
#89 utrecht de pan (played)...my favorite course in the netherlands, this ROMANTIC ageless beauty colt classic features semi blind shots on many holes to those playing from the wrong side of the fairways...a FUN strategic design that plays firm & fast with a tight routing thru the pine forest an hour outside of amsterdam
https://instagr.am/p/DMDPjIwtJTY
#98 te arai north (played)...shocks & slim wadie walked a 36 hole day with us both reaching the conclusion that it's very good but not great...would not be surprised if this tom doak designed new zealand seaside test with wild azz greens don't drop out in the 2027 rankings
https://instagr.am/p/DRPxVL8E5yg
#100 cape wickham (played)...the most underrated course in the world (a legit world 25 course)!!...designed by my guys the talented mike devries (handled the terrific mackenzie restoration of the meadow club) & darius oliver this australian oceanside beauty is one of the windiest sites on planet earth located on king island (rivals kyoto for the best grass fed beef anywhere) a short bumpy flight from melbourne

Grateful for my time at Cal and everyone who’s been part of my journey. Excited for the next chapter! #NCAA #TransferPortal #CalFootball pic.twitter.com/pynEcqoV82
