I am 97% confident in these answers and meet roughly 10% of the criteria for the awarding of a prize.

congratulations hare bear, u are arguably the most remarkable contest winner in the storied history of the uc system, if u told me u wuz a internationally recognized professor of television game show studies at uc santa cruz living in a tricked out condo/trap house above the catalyst with pacific ocean views i would believe in u

look, happy, benji, mugsy, stella, trouble, misty mae & minko stinko (not to be confused with nikko remigio) r refusing to get off the cloud (they all be sofa kings/queens) so there's been a slight grand prize substitution, here r ur options,ok?



award option #1 is now 2 field level asu football tixs on the 5 yard line for the nau game (u will be able to hear to little league dad dwayne tell the lumberjacks staff how to maximize kai's talents)



award option #2 is a 25% euro discount goupon at my favorite story in paris, vilebrequin (airfare not included)



award #3 is a round of golf on literally any golf course in the world with shocky (if u don't got no passport, ur ******)



award #4 is a baker's dozen donuts with fuchsia toppings from sprinkles by scottsdale's fashion square mall (the monster will not be responsible for ur inevitable hardening of ur arteries)




Wow...all of these awards look stunning and it would be fun to see Kai on the gridiron again. And Vilebrequin actually looks tres chic especially for someone like yours truly whose clothing usually comes from Costco or Sam's Club (and who does not have a passport). But I kinda think that knowing who these sturdy gOLden Bears are should be de rigueur for us Cal peeps and maybe even a required training before you can buy football tix or set foot on campus or something, since these guys are the backbone of our team!! Hope Bloesch stays for a while so he can continue to develop this unit.

cal's monster yoga classes update:


so yesterday at noon modern yoga the shockster is kinda lost in space (again) moving thru the poses & hopelessly lost in the music while the monkey voices in his head are talking to him: "check it out, shocky, the toned blonde with the small peek a boo tat under her chest in the neon pink lulu lemon on the mat next to you, you should ask her next time she looks at you if she's gonna be in the barbie movie this summer, right?...and wouldn't it be amazing if they got barbie doggys in that movie too?...you pulled all ur 6 irons last round, you need to work on that"



and then ima pulled out my trance by teacher john who is standing directly in front of me & asking me why ima lacking focus kinda waving his hands to indicate blondie next door

couple of snickers behind me which are audible, shocky is a dumb azz

https://instagr.am/p/CZUlDjQrySJ
anyways john (who is a gifted teacher that really tries to make difference in his student's practices) asks me where's my head at?

i tell him the truth, i daydream a lot...he tells me he daydreams too but that he doesn't want to keep correcting my poses if ima not truly invested in improving which makes a lot of sense for everyone

these monkey voices in my head are distracting in real life but also the impetus for playing the last 17 world top 100 golf course lists, sincerely thinking cal's monster class wuz gonna win a national championship in basketball with coach martin & saving/improving the lives of those innocent & scared stray mutts living dangerously on the streets with no love or a safety zone



in thinking more about john's feedback last nite gotta be truthful with further introspection & also admit that the monster kinda gotta issues with listening/taking direction from others aka an authority problem which probably started sometime during his berkeley days

https://instagr.am/p/CnSBeOMNzqt
so today at nooner yoga with teacher princess courtney (who is perfectly imperfect in a smokeshow kinda way) schulzie really tried to make an effort to be attune to the rest of the class/social cues & not just do my own thing...it wuz really peaceful in a lost in time kinda much needed relaxing way that usually only happens when the sofa king is napping on the cloud in the afternoon with his doggys...baby steps progress today, it wuz a good day

https://instagr.am/p/CDPfJN9Bupz


life is not linear (t-rexs r always gonna be works in progress)#
modern yoga 4:15 pm anton class this afternoon:

after class tole kendall (the toned blonde that the monster wuz accused of being distracted by teacher john) that i wuz proud of not overtly staring at her during class, she just laughed at that

but not gonna lie to u, there might've been some side eye **** going on

for those of u wondering what kendall looks like, here u go

https://instagr.am/p/Cqnn2-VJ2V1
so shocky's 2023 self improvement plan is gonna include becoming more SUBTLE in life

for instance, when fundraising for animal advocacy with rich as **** guys in paradise valley/north scottsdale maybe i shouldn't ask them for a $50,000 check in front of their wives & children (they often start crying & yelling if he tries to pass on helping doggys)

maybe i could be SUBTLE and ask them privately in the clubhouse locker rooms for a donation?

nah that's not gonna happen, shocky is a mutt of mixed descent that don't got much impulse control skills, life is kinda simpler/happier that way



don't be a fake model (doggys r themselves for better or for worse)#

cal's monster offensive line recruiting update:

6'4" 275 lbs 6a 1st team all state interior offensive lineman tyler knape from westlake high school (same hs as mason mangum) is gonna be in berkeley this saturday for cal's 2024 junior day

knape got quick feet & quick twitch movements for a guy who is still developing physically, this key targeted prospect for coach bloesch's room got a huge upside

tyler is not a dumb azz, he got a 3.8 gpa


the university of california, berkeley=#1 ranked public university in the world (including hill country)

tyler knape will be visiting berkeley again for this saturday's spring game

BOOM, cal's monster offensive line welcomes blue collar texas trench worker tyler knape to the california golden bears football program as the 2nd commitment along with tight end camden jones for the 2024 class

6'1" 180 lbs wide receiver louisville native & marshall transfer ej horton is gonna take an official visit to berkeley this weekend...graduated from the palmetto prep academy in south carolina the burner got 2 years of remaining eligibility

the 2023 spring game clearly revealed the bears overall lack of foot speed on the offensive side of the ball despite the +1 athleticism of quarterback sam jackson v in particular in the receiving corps as only mavin anderson & jeremiah hunter got a burst & none of the tight ends got elite separation speed...coach spav's offense requires the ability to separate from defenders

ej's receiving stats are not noteworthy but his world class speed could be utilized in this offense (and potentially kickoff returns too) with the right development & coaching


speed kills (and lack of speed kills too)#

How many tight ends have "elite separation speed", seriously?

If we had one WR who was fast (either we get somebody from the portal, or, like, if what's-his-name hadn't gone to FUCLA), our speed on offense would be "good", instead of "pretty good". Most teams don't have a RB as fast as Ott and hardly any teams have a QB as fast as Jackson (but how's his passing?).

cal's 2023 monster big board:

at this exact moment cal got 9 scholly roster players, these are the current 5 best potential additions to get to the ncca max 13 schollys

jaylon tyson: elite sharpshooting wing, immediate impact starter at the 3...worked with coach scherbenske at texas tech...very positive official visit to berkeley last weekend with potential future teammates jalen & fardaws, no trips planned at this time to either kansas or auburn
https://instagr.am/p/CjgKwKnuZOs
trey woodbury: absolutely love trey's game/skillset, he unselfishly distributes/facilitates his teammates & makes everyone on his team better...a 40% 3 point shooter, the combo guard would be an immediate impact starter at the 2 with a j kidd rugged physical style of play...needs ncca appeal granted for a 6th season
https://instagr.am/p/CqHiA9mOBzl
aziz bandaogo: yeah bandaogo with the monster block, if he decides to enter the transfer portal, cal will be a serious player with the utah valley connections including coach moses...already on the nba radar, aziz & fardaws would be college basketball's redunkulously talented twin towers...no longer lists utah valley in his twitter header

tyrin lawrence: the vanderbilt transfer got the academics for berkeley admissions but the nil requirements for his family might lure him to kentucky, etc...if coach mazarei can get tyrin to take an official visit to the west coast, then anything is possible including dad classes for him & jalen with mad dog & hannah
https://instagr.am/p/Cm-EZiKrJ8U
le'tre darthard: pure shooting stroke that can get buckets but will he prioritize guaranteed minutes at a mid major over player development at a higher level that will better prepare him for future professional opportunities?

cal's (potential) monster class#

jaylon tyson will take an official trip to the truck stop town of lawrence this weekend arriving friday & departing sunday during which time coach prime's slippery white brother from another mother will selfishly downplay the importance of a college degree in a fiercely competitive global economy that favors the well educated from elite institutions like cal, stanford & the ivy league while walking the tyson family thru the tricked out basketball dorm/5 star hotel which includes a barber shop & a bowling alley because nothing in recruiting is more impressive to a young man making a life impacting decision with 50 year benefits/consequences is ephemeral eye candy that won't mean **** once ur injured or the basketball stops bouncing at which point ur 100% ****** and then their is the full realization that a mind is a terrible thing to waste but by then it's too ******* late & ur the night shift supervisor at the truck stop of the k-10 where u work really long retail hours for not much money because ur basically a discarded factory at that point cuz the 3 man weave is not really a marketplace valued skill & the nil dollars have long been spent and then u marry a lot lizard with cfm pumps until such that u contract stds from her and then die a slow & painful death colored by regrets of a lifetime

or u can storm the floor with shocky at the #1 ranked public university in the world, we both got star stuff

cal's monster offensive line recruiting updates:

cam'ron johnson: houston's starting left guard visited usc last weekend, already taken officials to cal (well received on both ends) & missouri (old ol coach brandon jones)...will trip to colorado this weekend & then make a decision...as stated multiple time johnson is a UNICORN & the most important recruit of the wilcox era in berkeley

tevonte sylvester: houston's back up left tackle last season will take an official visit with his friend cam'ron to boulder this weekend

emmanuel pregnon: wyoming's raw but athletic talent is a commit to usc, this could influence johnson's consideration of the trojans

Here's an idea: Instead of mocking players who enter the portal who will likely end up in worse situations, how about acknowledging that they're not stupid and overinflating their market value but instead are likely being nudged out the door and being told their likelihood of playing here is small? Why are you adding insult to injury for players who worked their asses off for our alma mater and gave it their best shot?

If that's not the case with a player and he foolishly enters the portal on his own after overinflating his value and ending up at a crappy program with a bad degree, have at it, but I suspect that's a pretty small percentage oft he guys who went into the portal.

bear, this is a very serious topic to me & i appreciate your bringing this forward as a point of conversation

at the core of my love of cal athletics is the strongly held belief that not only are these truly hard working student athletes working their azzs off on the playing fields but also in the fiercely competitive classrooms of the #1 ranked public university in the world & that at the end of the day they will be leaving berkeley with transformational degrees that will open unimaginable doors to whatever dreams they pursue

coach martin tole me that when he got to berkeley he knew the worldwide academic reputation but wuz still shocked when his players were up all night writing 25+ page papers, he thought that athletes were exempt from that kinda intellectual challenge & cuonzo embraced that mental growth with both him & roberta wanting that academic admissions opportunity for their oldest son joshua which would've made them all bears forever

at practice one time with multiple nba scouts evaluating cal's monster class david kravish grabbed a rebound & then literally ran out the north door of haas while bouncing the ball towards center court...an astonished scout asked coach martin wut's up with that? to which cuonzo chuckled & tole him that kravish got a 4:00 pm microbiology lab session to which mr nba laughed & said "you don't see that at kentucky"

and guess wut?...at that point in time we were out recruiting kentucky for multiple mcdonalds all americans, the prestige of berkeley academics wuz being relentlessly sold as part of the "why not cal?" campaign which the monster ghost wrote for coach

so if ur telling me (and you got some proof) that coach wilcox's program is running off any players ima done with cal football, ok?

while trading in a berkeley degree for a nevada or kansas degree is a "bad" decision it's not the end of the world, it probably just means you'll be doing work for decades that maybe you don't find fulfilling either intellectually or financially

wut's really "bad" is guys like chris street leaving berkeley last december after a couple years of academic work because he thinks a short non elite speed running back is gonna paid someday in the nfl if only he can get more gameday snaps in college...so right now he's still in the portal with zero actionable offers, the real tragedy is that he might end up WITHOUT ANY college degree & on the streets

and that's absolutely tragic, chris street is an absolutely remarkable young man & this breaks my heart...my take is that the staff needs to encourge chris to seek readmission to berkeley for this summer & help him with college student loans paperwork (his scholly is gone forever) so he can finish up his degree is the next year or so

this departure listing is not intended to mock anyone, it's intent is to transparently share a cautionary reality that the transfer portal for non superstars is a one way ticket to ******* nowhere

i watch this video & actually kinda mist up, it breaks my heart when he talks about his remarkable moms serving as both a mother & father figure for him in life, his love for her is undeniable in his quest to make a better life for both of them

the tragic irony of it all is that if chris street had remained in berkeley he would've been the starting running back at the 2023 spring practice game & academically only a year plus out on earning/finishing his berkeley degree which is worth millions over a lifetime

Here's an idea: Instead of mocking players who enter the portal who will likely end up in worse situations, how about acknowledging that they're not stupid and overinflating their market value but instead are likely being nudged out the door and being told their likelihood of playing here is small? Why are you adding insult to injury for players who worked their asses off for our alma mater and gave it their best shot?

If that's not the case with a player and he foolishly enters the portal on his own after overinflating his value and ending up at a crappy program with a bad degree, have at it, but I suspect that's a pretty small percentage oft he guys who went into the portal.

As far as how a coaching staff handles this situation, there are some semi-subtle differences between what is "right" and what is "wrong"...

Following the season, coaches have "the conversation" with players about their future with the program. And let's be honest, there are some scholarships that the staff wishes they had back, in hopes of getting better players. But it's all in how it's handled: I think it's fine to tell a player that, in his current trajectory, he is unlikely to see the field (or the court) very much and, if that's what's important to them, they might want to consider transferring to a different program...

Also fair to tell them that, if they stay -- even if they never play -- they are obligated to work hard at practice and in the weight room and display a positive team attitude just like everyone on the roster and, if they do not, they are not fulfilling their part of the scholarship agreement.

Maybe fair; maybe not: Taking the player off of the roster, while still honoring their "full ride", as Wyking Jones did with those two players a few years back.

At this point, the player can decide what to do. In the case of Chris Street, he decided to find a spot elsewhere. Even if he comes back to Cal as a non-player, I think he got a pretty good deal: preferred admission to Cal and his first 2 1/2 years paid for, not to mention the experience of playing college football in the Pac 12 (and he did play some).

What would be unethical would be to try and coerce a player into leaving, or, if he chooses to stay, to make his experience on the team unpleasant. The staff should treat all of their players like they would expect and want their own sons and daughters treated, in a similar situation... and this is how I suspect Justin Wilcox and his staff play it.

the monster thru the years has emphasized that basketball (and football) games are won by elite +1 athletes

in speaking the last 2 weeks with multiple nba scouts, aziz bandaogo is an unforgettable +2 athlete

goldy, plz watch this video at least 2 times in its entirety before potentially responding to this post, ok?...it should be rated v for violence or s for ****** blocking

the rusher in this video is not a 1st round apex predator edge in the nfl's 2023 draft, it's a 3rd string olb who is a bounce back to nevada

#78 brown played at usc (his moms school) in the coliseum due to multiple injuries on the offensive line, this offseason s&c work wuz substandard & he wuzn't in the 2 deep heading into spring ball because of his lack of work

justin tries to shield the program from 2 deeps but all u gotta do is watch the stretching formation before practices/games, the 1s r in the 1st row, the 2s in the 2nd row, the 3s in the 3rd row plus player depth placement can be ascertained by also watching the sequence in which players take snaps in drills

anyways wish jackson good luck despite throwing away a berkeley degree, he's a good kid who is probably talking to angus as we speak

cal's monster offensive line is done with the laid back cali vibe#
