the syracuse (1-0) qb1 steve angeli (cuse wuz 4-0 in 2025 before he went down with a season ending injury) is apparently healthy again after 263 yards thru the air on an efficient 20 of 29 passing
his favorite target is wr1 #2 umari hatcher who snagged 8 receptions for 147 yards, the takers are gonna have to blanket him next saturday afternoon at 3:30 pm in upstate new york
o-line: the shockster wuz straight up 100% wrong, the bears don't got a MONSTER offensive line at this point, they honestly got a mini monster offensive line that did not impose their will tonite at memorial stadium, right tackle frederick williams iii had a game to forget & practices this week should focus on developing the lt2
defense bears defense: despite cal winning the time of possession, the d wuz candy azz soft with poor tackling, dumb azz personal conduct including facemask grabbing penalties & giving up 45 points to an offense with a mid (at best) offensive line
linebackers: heading into the season the shockster wuz concerned about the inside backers but the worstest room play tonite wuz the ****show performance with misplayed outside gap controls/no ability to harass nico turned in by the outside linebackers (saw justin beadles in the tunnel not dressed out)...right now the bears gotta couple 2027 apex predator edge defender high school commits that need to be physically/mentally ready for IMMEDIATE playing time next season in berkeley
tight ends: the best room in the program right now, mason is the team MVP
wide receivers: coach ike played a tight nfl style playing rotation with 36 year old jordan king as the 4th wideout, the starters got obvious talents but failed to make plays in the clutch which wuz disappointing
JKS: got outplayed by nico, expect a bounce back game at syracuse
run game: no discernible improvement in the o-line creating gaps but rb1 adam still rushed for 120 yards, he's an ELITE talent
game production: as usual jay & jenny (literally EVERY fan/donor who i spoke to re: this duo is extremely disappointed with chancellor lyon's inexplicable decisions to promote and retain them, he's lost a lotta political stock/respect from the university's biggest supporters) ****** up everything they are still responsible for to the surprise of no-one other than apparently the chancellor who is ok with the piling up of lawsuits against the athletic department: the public address announcer wuz incoherent with the messed up sound system, only a limited # of food vendors in the field club with long lines despite a SOLD OUT crowd & televisions that wuz not working in the esp sections, just ******* unreal, right rich??
wut up spida man, the monster will be sure to say hello/give u a fist bump during the early pre game warm ups on the field tomorrow nite, u feel me brah??
me & my good friend rogg machine (graduated together from the haas biz school back in the day) visited with 2027 high school commits wr1 charles davis aka spida man, wr1 demaredezeurn & qb1 dane weber during the FUN & lively atmosphere on the field during the pregame warm ups
when asked by the shockster who wuz a better BLOCKER between him & demare, charles diplomatically said "both of us!!"
demare's trademark look is the crooked azz lid, his moms & dad tole us the are very much looking forward to becoming bearents next season...when asked whose the fastest wideout in cali dezeurn tole me with a smile that he's the #1 guy!!...fun fact: oklahoma is finally leaving him alone, he could not explain why he evah committed to the sooners in the 1st place
dane tole us that his super healthy moms makes green juices all the time & that not surprisingly he wuz not eating junk food growing up...his wrist bandages will come off soon & he hopes to return to friday nite lights in a couple of weeks, dane is gonna make plays both with his arm & his legs!!
super impressive trio of likeable (unlike jay & jenny) future bears!!
cali's #1 ranked linebacker in the 2028 class & national recruit with unreal closing SPEED 6'25" 210 lbs langdon miller from local powerhouse delasalle high school would be a DAY 1 ilb1 starter (which may or may not be the case in eugene, columbus & south bend) as a golden bear!!
https://instagr.am/p/DPYkpzrDvuI the university of california, berkeley=#1 ranked public university in the WORLD (in case u haven't figured it out yet coach)
Concord (Calif.) De La Salle linebacker Landon Miller has lined up a handful of game visits for this season, including stops at Cal, Oregon and USC, and continues to work on possible dates with a few Midwest suitors.
me & rogg machine also visited with langdon miller & his spartans teammate wideout damari dean, both guys tole us that their moms love going to their games and agreed with the monster that going to college outta nor cal would create travel issues for moms vs the short drive to berkeley on gamedays!!
langdon tole us that he's most naturally an inside backer but would ideally like to play a hybrid attacking backer spot that sometimes lines up outside that would take advantage of his blitzing skillz
tole both delasalle superstars that ima mama's boy too!!
fun fact: legendary hall of fame coach lad is now the freshman team coach (in case u haven't figured it out yet)
https://instagr.am/p/DZRhSGuSeG2 CONGRATS to tamarik (started at a bay area community college before transferring to the haas biz school) with the generational wealth building ivy league MBA!!
cal's monster class (the roc is still alive thx to moms tami & the best family evah shines bright!!)#
conversations (on the field during the pregame warm ups) with 3 of my favorite cali bears hoopers :
ivan rabb tole me he's taking 14 units this semester & then needs 15 units next semester to graduate in interdisciplinary studies with a BERKELEY DEGREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
tole young ivee that me & my daughter taylor are gonna attend his berkeley graduation, KAABBOOOOOOOM!!
tamarik is crushing it in biz & has been very encouraging for his bro's return to berkeley to finish his academic work...moms tami is doing well now after some medical issues and jabari bird is now married & playing professionally in china
we're both in agreement that our boy jaylen brown will also finish his degree tho it might be from harvard
theo robertson is working for learfield in his announcing cal hoops & is excited for the upcoming start of play after the 20+ victories last season...theo is still in phenomenal shape & of course shocky had to show his cbyf1 friend his one trick pony multiple 25+ headstand stomach crunches modern yoga move on the turf to her impressed ooohs & ahhhs (so predictable, sigh)
richard midgley wuz hosting 2 ginormous recruits with unreal length (both around 7') on official visits, he tole me he wuz not involved with the recent international signings (they wuz done before he got on board) but that he's traveled a gazillion miles the last 60 days on behalf of the cal men's basketball program
my poly hopa/hopa brah lou richie (tight friendships with the 3 aforementioned bears) wuz also in the haas but we didn't connect this time
Hi Shocky: Thanks again for the lunch yesterday, that turned out to be the highlight of Saturday! To add to the gameday experience feedback, I would add we missed the entire pre-game due to the security bottleneck at the North Entrance to CMS due to lack of staff doing scans. As far as the game, I was impressed by UCLA's team spirit. I was disappointed in Cal's defense performance overall given Tosh's background. Every Cal drive it seemed we had to convert several 3rd downs, while UCLA when in gear cruised through our D like a hot knife through butter. Now for that Unagi restaurant in Tokyo... Ilkura House, 1-5-4 Higashi Azabu,Minato ku, Tokyo Safe travels home. Angela's back to HK & work, I'm off to Seattle for a week.
glenn, it wuz FUN meeting u & ur charming wife angela for lunch at the tiny cesarios near union square!!
sorry to hear about the security bottleneck, the co athletic directors are not only evil as **** but also incompetent in overseeing gameday operations which is gonna impact future attendance metrics, honestly it's just a shame that the chancellor is not concerned with their ongoing decimation of the cal athletic department (keep in mind he's longtime pals with both jay & jenny, he's served with them on many important bureaucrat committees including the renaming/branding of berkeley according to one builder of berkeley who is considering dropping his support of the university)
safe travels visiting the fam in the northwest (u are truly a traveling bear that's lived a very interesting life from mostly further afar) & thx for the unagi restaurant recommendation (too funny we both love the 7/11s in japan)!!
shocky (born under scorpio skies) wanted to see the world thru her eyes (and watch the chem trails in the tokyo skies)#
fun fact: clemson's (0-1) new starting qb1 christopher vizzina is not gonna win the 2026 heisman trophy (or get a nil endorsement deal from frosted flakes)!!
https://instagr.am/p/DZI75wlvP11 ^ real talk: eating this unhealthy sugar crap for breakfast will hasten ur departure from planet earth!!
me & rogg machine visited with edge defender giovanni hodge (and also his "little brother" who is a 6'5" 310 lb defensive tackle 2029 prospect) from pipeline grant high school in sacramento on the field during the pregame warm ups
hodge tole us that head coach syd thompson keeps the game FUN for the pacers!!
giovanni tole us his gpa is currently 3.8 (wuz previously 4.0) & that he's very excited to play for coach lup given his NFL pedigree DEVELOPING defensive linemen, this young man is extremely intense & focused (in a likeable way) in that in speaking with him u can feel his FIRE in a kinda low key but tangible way
how ******* BAD wuz the bears edge/outside linebacker play on saturday nite??
the 3 deep recorded ZERO tackles in a 60 minute football game as the opponent averaged 8.7 yards per rush, they wuz SHUTOUT...unreal stat tho it should be mentioned that justin beadles wuz in the north tunnel not dressed out to play & that ascending true freshman inside backer jd mckinley started the 1st play of the game standing outside a bruins offensive tackle
my take is that it's probable that 2027 all american commits troy bowens from sutter creek high school in gold rush county and/or giovanni hodge will be DAY 1 STARTERS when the bears battle the bruins again in the 2027 season opener at the rose bowl!!
foxy (luv that name!!), the shockster stopped reading growls a while ago but just looked at the topics per ur post & back in the day exchanged private messages with these 4 angry senior citizens (old crabs) ur referencing...since there's no way they read the monster here's some confidential background info but plz don't tell nobody, got it??
bright bear-did not go to cal but tole me his son wuz a student back in the day who got dismissed for academic fraud
trumpanzee-he's an alcoholic who watches the games on tv from his urine stained sofa (the throne for growls gameday thread posters) in his rental unit in boise idaho, tole me he played for the bears but when further questioned ended up ghosting the monster
m2bear-just switched retirement communities & is still cranky about the quality of the food in the cafeteria, tole me he hasn't been to a game in memorial stadium in 2 decades but still likes to pontificate about the inner workings of the cal football program
tandem bear-should probably just focus his energies on starting a support group for fellow incels or something (not that there is anything wrong with that)
https://instagr.am/p/C8fLcBRtpV9 callixte alzas (67 & 70, 7 under par, tied for 18th): FUN day walking all 36 holes with callixte which is around 15 miles/24 kilometers, the true freshman parisian is a very SPECIAL talent and gave me an ice cold water unsolicited during the middle of the 2nd round and that kinda thoughtfulness is just a reflection of really great parenting
callixte is +2 athletic & maybe an inch taller than me & morikawa but with a stronger leg base from which he unleashes his rickie fowler vibe swing...his short game is unreal with soft hands & his imagination is remarkable (he tole me that links golf is his favorite type of golf!!)...on the 560 yard par 5 17th hole in the 1st round alzas pounded his 3rd chip shot into a steep embankment which then skidded over the hill & then put on the brakes for a kick in birdie
the alzas putting stroke is straight up money with a clean uncluttered stroke & he drove it within 50 yards on the slightly downwind 431 yard par 4 9th hole in the 2nd round with his preferred right to left drawing flight trajectory
yeah callixte est fantastique!!
fun facts: competing as an individual xihuan chang is 6 under par & tied for 20th via rolling the rock to 11 birdies...also competing as an individual fellow poly hopa/hopa matthew miyamoto is 5 under par & tied for 29th with an explosive 12 birdies & an eagle...trevor cox is 4 under par & tied for 36th but much more importantly tole me before the round that despite living 15 minutes from legoland he's only been there a couple of times, the monster tole trevor that's just messed up!!
me & rogg machine visited with edge defender giovanni hodge (and also his "little brother" who is a 6'5" 310 lb defensive tackle 2029 prospect) from pipeline grant high school in sacramento on the field during the pregame warm ups
hodge tole us that head coach syd thompson keeps the game FUN for the pacers!!
giovanni tole us his gpa is currently 3.8 (wuz previously 4.0) & that he's very excited to play for coach lup given his NFL pedigree DEVELOPING defensive linemen, this young man is extremely intense & focused (in a likeable way) in that in speaking with him u can feel his FIRE in a kinda low key but tangible way

Cal HC Tosh Lupoi on the run defense struggles, where UCLA ended up with over 275 and around 9 YPC
“Executions of the call. There were quite a few of those that lived in the first half. We lost the perimeter game. Starting with me, making sure we’re putting guys in the right… pic.twitter.com/RO2Yf00xIY
CONFRIMATION: coach lup is in 100% alignment with the shockster that saturday nite's defensive ****show wuz primarily due to the MAL TIEMPO play in the outside linebacker/defensive end room on the perimeter
https://instagr.am/p/DXUJxEYjMSd ^ this is shocky's favorite cal men's golf gram, it tells u all u need to know about the special people in this program
xihuan chang (67, 11 under par, tied for 11th): team low scoring MEDALIST chang is playing GREAT GOLF with a chip on his shoulder after the snub from the 2026 asia pacific amateur at tara iti in new zealand, go be great señor X!!
callixte alzas (70, 9 under par, tied for 23rd): let's be real here, without shocky walking with him step for step in his player development coaching role a drop off today wuz inevitable for mon ami, lo siento callixte
matthew miyamoto (68, nine under par, tied for 23rd): a very positive/maybe surprising emergence for the program, me & moto (who radiates positive energy) talked yesterday about our both being poly hopa/hopa & how it benefits not getting the haole (white person) rip off rates in hawaii
trevor cox (70, 6 under par, tied for 34th): mr legoland got more game than he showed in the desert, next time the monster is at a cal tournament he may have to walk with trevor to make sure this **** gets figured out (we'll get this cooking in the crockpot 10,000 degrees farenheit)
ziqin zhou (69, 6 under par, tied for 34th): me & Z talked yesterday after his rounds about his sorry azz putting (missed at least a half a dozen putts under 5 feet with unenergetic holing speed) on the redunkulously slow greens (borderline 9 on the stimp), ziqin tole me he likes to roll in putts at drip in speed over the front edge on slick greens which wuz not possible at whirlwind...gave Z a good luck charm & sand play advice for his upcoming november championship at the 2026 asia pacific amateur in new zealand which will result in his invitations to the 2027 masters & 2027 british open, no cap dano!!
bad news: the bears finished 12 outta 13 teams in a mid field
https://instagr.am/p/DdC2UrnjyjX good news: the above result is due to several starters struggling, the outcome would've been different with xihuan & matthew in the line up and the team also missed the cong show (who played lights out a the 2026 us amateur at merion) for reasons that cannot be discussed here but he will return like the phoenix bird at the next tournament in seattle with really good ******* hair or something
life is NOT linear (flexibility, hard work & a smile on ur face r the only solutions!!)#
FUN day in manhattan with my daughter taylor after flexibly audibling to yesterday's late nite travel in order to see callixte alzas hit his 1st shot as a california golden bear & also stay connected with Z in his quest to climb the pga tour university rankings!!
https://instagr.am/p/Dc6vIpRxQp0 ^ FREE admission (only outta touch worthless bureaucrats like jay & jenny fail to grow their fanbases thru innovative inclusive marketing which is an upfront investment cost for successful growing enterprises, thx chancellor lyons for just looking the other way while ur revenue sports fanbases are marginalized/decimated via the student sports pass which is unaffordable for berekey students that don't got rich parents like rich & are poor as ****)
