mb, when greg richardson wrote me the termination email re: cal's monster class (my love letter to the magic of cal basketball) upon purchasing this website from chris avery he indicated he hoped i would continue as a cal donor

but that's not how those of us born under scorpio skies roll, we are the ride or die types
https://www.today.com/life/astrology/scorpio-traits-personality-rcna53084

it's like a light switched off inside me, after attending 100+ home & away bears basketball games in a row, i didn't attend/watch any games for basically 6 years while developing my sorry azz t-rex yoga/meditation practice, playing the world's top 100 golf courses & fundraising for maricopa county doggy rescue facilities with annual revenue dollars a multiple of the current cal football & basketball nil aggregated dollars

so yeah my love affair with cal athletics is kinda complicated but make no mistake about it the monster is gonna be in shreveport on december 16th for the independence bowl & if the bears win he's gonna storm the field in the deep south around midnite under louisiana skies

everything after that is unclear, life is not linear & anything is possible

I have asked you before to stop saying your animal "fundraising" is multiples of the Cal NIL. It is not. You don't know what you are talking about vis--vis our NIL. You are not a donor to our collective and you have zero information on our actual finances. But I don't really care how you want to justify your non- contribution to Cal Athletics; something you purport to care deeply about. I also don't care that you keep trying to conflate "fundraising" and "donating." Those are not the same thing. But what I do care about is that you keep involving the California Legends Collective in your diatribes. You have no basis and you are wrong.

Greg Richardson is employed by the university?
Bear Insider is an official publication of the University?
They are bigger than your Cal spirit? They were part of anything that was Magical for you about Cal Athletics?
Is there a day that goes by that you don't have a great personal Cal moment go through your head? That doesn't outweigh the bitterness?

You have a choice of supporting Cal or not. Cal football would be incredibly different today had the Bruce Snyder deal not gotten effed up. You can believe that Cal basketball would be different if everyone had left you the F alone.
But you can't go back and change history, and any support you fail to give is not punishing those who you hate anyway.
If you get bitten by a dog after yoga tomorrow, you going to stop supporting your dog rescue?

There are two major truths here:

1. The Cal administration undermined Shocky. This is really hard to give up. Getting stabbed in the back is hard to forget.
2. Shocky, by all accounts, is a very persuasive guy who loves Cal and getting him on board with NIL would mean much more than his personal contributions: Shocky being on board with CaLegends would means many multiples of his individual contributions.

The issue is that Shocky has set a hard line at getting Knowland fired. Which none of the players here can do.

So as a Cal fan with not much wealth, I too would want Shocky to not just donate but to use his skills to get others to donate as well (all donations to NIL).

This is an impasse: Can someone hire a hooker or something to get rid of Knowland already? That would solve all issues.

Otherwise, I don't forgive easily either. So, I understand Shocky being pissed. Being betrayed invokes very strong emotions.

Eff you. What I have given to the Alumni Association here on the East Coast is a lot more important than you getting to take post game pictures so you can tell people how important you are. And, before the University was dumb enough to shutdown the event I was most proud of, the April reception for those in the area who just committed or were trying to decide whether to go to Cal, you know what I encouraged at that event? Hey, go to football games, basketball games, because it's different than anything you experienced in HS, and incredible part of the college experience...even if you don't like sports)
(oh, wait, maybe I should stop supporting the University because they stopped doing something I helped grow? Let me whine a bit and think of that!....oh, I'm distracted now-Tiger Woods is helping Mike Trout build a golf course down the road from me, and I need to go tell them how important I am in the golf world...thank god I am not).
But okay, you want to go for the BS stuff: I was in downtown Orlando screaming "Bruce don't go" after one of the greatest Cal victories of all time...it failed, but that was the most important singular moment in Cal football history.
I better wrap this up: you probably need to go post another pic of your daughter to get off on....

Dude, give it a rest. Obviously Shocky has a big ego....so what? Your pride is showing through on these posts as well.

I would like there to be some degree of detente here -- I'm talking big picture, between Shocky, the mods, and everyone else who can be a positive force for Cal Athletics -- so that we can focus on getting Cal to be the best program we can make it. That means focusing on what unites us, not what divides us. Based on recent posts on this thread, I think a lot of people want that too.

But as we are calming the room after the food fight, you're still throwing bombs and getting personal. With respect, commenting like that on Shocky's daughter says more about you than it does about him. Let it go, MB. Everyone here already has their opinion of Shocky....no one needs you to point out what you see as his flaws.

And I would rephrase your question to him and turn it back to you....if he really bugs you so much, maybe just stay away from this particular thread. There are lots of other interesting threads on BI. You've written some interesting and helpful posts in the past, but continuing to attack when people are clearly trying to move forward in a more positive way is just befouling our punchbowl...
