zony, great post (and we're 100% on the same page as usual), ima gonna tell u about my favorite cal defensive performance of all time, ok?

there wuz a hungry young linebacker coach in berkeley named jw who from the very 1st play of a home game at memorial stadium against an inexperienced high school football & baseball all american dennis dixon unleashed the dogs of war via alpha predator edge defender zach follett which resulted in absolute duck carnage

remember after getting the **** violently knocked out of him multiple times during the 1st series running down from my 50 yard line perch to the stadium wall behind the bench & watching dixon interact with the oregon coaches, you could clearly see the panic is his eyes & hand movements...he wuz mentally done

whatever happened to that aggressive young coach?

game over (or we can just stand around & palm/scratch each other's azzs)#

2024 recruiting update:

right now the bears got 11 2024 high school commitments:

5 from texas (the university of calveston is not imaginary, smu as an acc rival is an integral component of the staff's 2024 & 2025 targeted recruiting strategy in texas)
4 from california
2 from washington (rashawn clark got +1 athleticism & nfl upside)

fully expect coach bloesch to secure the commitment of another high school trench worker, potentially two if it's the right guy...any other position will need to be an early impact elite prospect, high school schollys will not go beyond 13

transfer recruiting will begin in december with crazy azz energy as players formally enter the portal then

MAJOR cal's monster offensive line recruiting update:

4.00 gpa 6'5" 280 lbs quick twitch david abajian has decommitted from oregon state

david got an actionable offer from coach bloesch & would an elite addition to the cal 2024 high school class which currently got 11 commitments

abajian's other finalist wuz kansas which got truck stop school academics, lousy weather most of the year, lawrence is not even close to being a diverse community & would be very expensive for his fam to visit on gamedays

ursine, don't tell nobody but shocky actually focuses on golf course architecture (and the splendor of nature) more than scoring the vast majority of the time

another ******* problem is that the monster loves them vending machine milk chocolate cupcakes at sprinkles on scottsdale road by fashion square...not once have i ever seen homakawa or rickie (with allison) there secretly eating this ****, that's why they better at golf tho ima better at yoga

tj sessions (best overall game of his collegiate career outside of the brutal holding penalty): 80
brian driscoll (strong in pass blocking): 80

barrett miller (trench worker needs to move guys off the ball in the run game): 80
matthew wykoff (gotta be more quick twitch in pass blocking): 80

coach bloesch gotta find gameday snaps for 6th man brayden rohme, it's gonna be a long season with battle scars along the way

cindo & barrett are out of eligibility after the 2023 season

both brayden & brian got a 6th season of eligibility left for the 2024 season if they opt to return to berkeley...keeping them engaged & luved up is very important

monster berkeley organizational chart:

chancellor carol christ: 78 year old is retiring in july of 2024 (successor will be recommended to the board of regents for affirmation in may of 2024)...the benevolent christ forgave the memorial stadium debt (the greatest gift to athletics of any berkeley chancellor during the last century)...only major mistake wuz hiring & then believing the lies of the athletic director re: the northwestern ad opening

james arthur knowlton: the con artist is an absentee bureaucrat living in colorado springs, the only athletic director in the nation that refuses all interview requests...currently under investigation by the chancellor's office as a result of the munger report

jennifer simon-o'neil: jenny is the con artist's #2 in charge confidante, her involvement with the mckeever female suicidal swimmers reveals someone who is evil as ****

markeisha everett: pompous & unqualified for selling tickets/building a future pipeline of future donors, oversees a bloated 11 person communications department...the primary obstructionist to the offering of FREE football & basketball tixs to all students for all games...will be demoted by the next ad

vasileios iliopoulos: should be selling knock off watches at the concord mall, not cal football & basketball season tixs

shrill voiced gameday promotion announcer: would rather listen to sorry azz adele or dishes crashing on my kitchen floor than her annoying voice...80% less words out of her mouth would be a good thing

dustin coder: the highly organized & professional director of ticket operations who goes the extra mile in customer service

thomas lowry: cfo handpicked by the con artist from the air force, wuz directed to hide from me the secret $11,000,000 loan from the central campus that wuz finally discovered thru the monster's relentless public information requests

dr adela de la torre: the current prez at san diego state is the frontrunner to be the next berkeley chancellor...the bay area native got 3 berkeley degrees & luvs sports as a key catalyst of student spirit & alum engagement...she is vibrant & gets it

andrew mcgraw: the current director of football operations (and former walk on quarterback & band member) & longtime cal athletic department employee should be named as the interim athletic director, we don't got the luxury of hiring another outsider who don't get/like berkeley...reducing costs/cutting sports is the #1 priority to steer the course away from the current cliff of bankruptcy in emerging with a rightsized, more streamlined with better talent athletic department

beth tafolla-voetsch: should be promoted to the #2 position responsible for all women's sports & title ix compliance

jay john: the braintrusts right arm of hall of famers lute olson & mike montgomery wuz inexplicably pulled away from men's basketball by knowlton but is now back working with mbb which is a huge boost to coach madsen...should be tasked with hiring the next women's basketball coach after the upcoming probable winless pac 12 season

oski: drunk azz & unreliable mascot recently released from the silverado rehab & wellness institute

https://instagr.am/p/CxYQ4owMdEW

absolutely everybody who reads this board should read (and reread like me) sebastopol's analysis of the cal athletic department & specifically its financials

honestly if kevin decides to walk away (or heaven forbid strokes out) there realistically isn't college football in berkeley anymore so his thoughts are important

we are 100% in agreement that sport teams need to be cut, there's zero chance these programs are gonna fundraise enough money to be self sufficient or that the next chancellor is gonna increase the athletic department subsidy (in fact it will likely be reduced)

so there's an approximately $50,000,000+ annual deficit

with that in mind her are 10 fun facts re: james arthur knowlton

1) knowlton lives in colorado springs & rents in lafayette, it's well known within the athletic department that he is an absentee bureaucrat whose primary focus is the family house flipping biz in the rocky mountains

2) despite being a grown azz man, knowlton had never been to california before the athletic director interview

3) knowlton lied to chancellor christ re: the northwestern ad opening which resulted in him receiving an annual salary of $1,300,000 thru 2029...my source is a chicago golf club member who has served as a northwestern trustee

4) the con artist has rerouted past donations earmarked for football & basketball to his olympic sports, he wuz caught & changes are being made but the vast majority of donors are not gonna donate any more money to the cal athletic dept until there is a new ad...hoping guys like jaylen brown (new $306,000,000 nba contract) are gonna donate is a fairy tale until knowlton is gone

5) knowlton is not an effective fundraiser for either football or basketball, he is intensely disliked by most donors and his lies (which resulted in coach madsen incorrectly stating it's close to happening, in actuality it hasn't even started) about the progress of the basketball practice facility are beyond breaking bad

6) our inept athletic director's #2 in charge confidante jennifer simon-o'neil is the enabler of the mckeever women's suicidal swimmers...knowlton hired the unqualified & pompous markeisha everrett who is the dumbest person in the room & cfo tom lowry (who anti football agenda wuz clear to me within speaking with him for 5 minutes) from the air force

7) the gameday football experience is not getting better & the band is not actually playing more according to students in the band...this is knowlton's responsibility (as is the shrill voiced promotional announcer) but he's more focused on esp food services

8) knowlton told me to my face that billy m wuz "a genius" and unilaterally extended mark fox for another $4,000,000+ (including staff costs) only to be forced to fire him a year later

9) james arthur knowlton is the only athletic director in the united states of america to not have an active social media presence & also turn down every interview request

10) knowlton has neither the skills nor the inclination to run a balanced budget which would require cutting sports programs which will not happen on his watch & winning the future lawsuits against the department...in fact the above math fails to include the covert $11,000,000 loan knowlton directed his cfo to take from the central campus which only came to light after my relentless public information requests & stalling tactics by lowry

andrew mcgraw for athletic director & dr adela de la torre for chancellor (is the only realistic path forward)#

Hey Shocky:

I admit I don't know the details of your proximity to the Cal football, basketball and golf programs. Obviously, you must be a major donor if you have field passes for football and court-side seats for basketball, so thanks for that!

That said, please don't take any offense if I offer this unsolicited advice with the best of intentions:

Why not make it easier to follow your content by separating it into 3 separate posts?

How about:

1) "Cal's monster football tradition" (please include your iconic headstands here, since I follow football most);
2) "Cal's monster basketball tradition"; and
3) "Cal is a Golf School#" ?

I've told this story before but worth repeating...even though there are vastly different dynamics involved, the fact that Cal now has two great golf programs is proof that anything related to Cal sports can can for the better. The Cal men's golf team was shut down shortly after I tried out for it (at public course Boundary Oaks, no less) in 1977. There was no women's progsram. Things change. Go Bears.

It's probably simpler for Shocky to post everything in one single "Monster" thread, but for the reader (speaking at least for myself), it would be a lot easier to digest if the topic-matter were separated.

cal's monster offensive line gameday snaps vs washington:


brian driscoll: 86
tj sessions: 86
sioape vatikani: 85
barrett miller: 69
bastian swinney: 49 (finally healthy trench worker)
matthew wykoff: 38
brayden rohme: 17 (great to see rome compete)

Anyone know why Wykoff only saw 38 snaps vs. UW? Was it injury or underperformance?

If it's the former, that sucks. If the latter, that's pretty surprising to me. If it's "Bastien Swinney has improved so much we just can't keep him off the field", then this is probably a good thing. But I don't think that's the most likely case.

I've been viewing Wykoff as not only one of our best O-linemen this season, but also as a guy who will be a stalwart on our line for 2 more seasons after this, and hopefully get Cal back into a tradition of putting OL into the NFL.

Any insights?
