fantastic week for byeong ben an who closed with a 66 (despite bogeys on the tough par 4 7th & 17th holes) to finish in 4th place at 26 under par...make no mistake about it ben is gonna win his 1st pga tournament sooner than later & shocky is gonna be there...go bears!...cap
crowd favorite collin morikawa played the final nine (unlike last year's 3 bogeys in a row collapse to jon rahm) with 6 birdies to shoot a 65 & finish the week at 25 under par (his same score the prior 2 years too) & a tie for 5th place...his transition to homa's swing coach mark blackburn got him setting up closer to the ball which is returning to action his trademark cut ball flight (last year morikawa would inexplicably hook the ball at the wrong time/place)
max homa took a break from twitter & swearing at his golf ball to shoot a clean 7 birdie/no bogey 66 final round to finish the week tied for 14th at 22 under par...homa nation is gonna roll in 2024
both collin & max are sitting out next week's sony tournament at waialae country club in diamond head on the big island but both ben an & michael kim will be repping the #1 ranked public university in the world

who is shocky's favorite basketball player on planet earth these days?
that would be the skateboarding underdog michelle onyiah who is relentlessly bouncy like shocky & his rescue doggy pack
yeah ima watching the game flow but in reality just focusing on onyiah's kinetic movements particularly on the defensive end where shots are not even attempted in the paint with her presence & michelle competing for every rebound like it's our last day out evah...on ten paws we stood tall
michelle is a +1 athletic generational talent, the bears can compete with anybody when she plays 25+ minutes per game just like when gennifer brandon wuz the catalyst to cal's final four team
this is cal basketball (relentless with the knowledge that defense wins basketball games)#
one of life's great gifts is watching generational talent do things that very few people on planet earth can do, right now it's a special time to watch jaydn ott, collin morikawa, max homa & michelle onyiah represent the excellence of the #1 ranked public university in the world
and congrats to coach smith on her improving utilization of this skateboarding student athlete
shocky is also a long distance driving champion (on the tee box of the clifftop 18th hole at lake cabot with backing tornado winds & a firm/fast fairway & a couple of cartpath bounces)#
Oregon will no longer open 2024 season at Hawaii after adding game vs. Oregon State, sources told @ActionNetworkHQ. Oregon & Hawaii have 2 games remaining in 3-game series that is still scheduled, sources said. W/out the Oregon game, Hawaii is seeking at least 1 more game in 2024
a savvy football record conscious athletic director would buy out the oregon state series against all american running back damien "dui" martinez & quarterback gevani "the real" mccoy & replace it with a home & away series with very beatable hawaii which unlike the state of oregon is an actual recruiting hotspot for prospects of poly descent & also a tropical island roadtrip for the serious (non tv) fanbase
https://instagr.am/p/B-p1rfAAZc3 when alky says there wuz no other teams to schedule in 2024 the reality is that's just an uninformed perspective shared by james arthur knowlton
yeah stupid people make stupid decisions
richard lyons for chancellor & andrew mcgraw for athletic director in 2024#
Certainly you been following the Beavs roster decimation? They gonna return one starter on defense and Martinez and not much else on offense. They replacing them with guys who didn't play much including our school. What's done is done. Pick up Silas Bolden or the Beav DE and call it a day. Other issues to complain about
jt, respect ur opinions, did u see qb gevani mccoy almost singlehandedly keep idaho in the game against the bears at memorial stadium a couple of months ago?...even with 2 deep starter portal departures, oregon state got significantly more talent than idaho
coupled with all rb american damien martinez the beavs are gonna move the ball & score points
but agreed the beavs o-line along with wr silas bolden & tight end jack veiling along with the entire d particularly standout defensive end sione lolohea are getting progressively worser during the last 30 days
and yeah shocky got no interest (tho he will stay make the trip under protest, maybe a side trip to bandon dunes) in traveling to the truck stop town of corvallis for the bears currently scheduled opening game in 2025, hawaii would be a lot more fun roadtrip but hey that's just me
I want to thank The University of Alabama, my coaches and teammates for everything for the past 2 years! With that being said I’ll be entering the transfer portal with 3 years of eligibility. pic.twitter.com/UEZJ9Sk1B8
coach browning is extending an actionable offer to canadian native 6'4" 290 lbs alabama transfer isaiah hastings from the clearwater academy international in florida...he got 3 years of remaining eligibility
coach bloesch has extended an official visit & actionable offer to all aac honorable mention temple grad right tackle 6'8" 300 lbs victor stoffel from stockholm sweeden & graduate of kungstens gymnasiet
yeah the wonderfully diverse san francisco bay area is considered by many world travelers to be the most european like cosmopolitan area in the united states of america...college station texas & orlando florida are awesome places tho if ur looking for an open waffle house at 1:13 am on a saturday nite
look, victor don't got no gpa from kungstens gymnasiet in stockholm because the grading system for everything in the netherlands is way different than the united states of america, got it?
but make no mistake about it, stoffel is NOT a dumb azz...he can read books & add numbers & **** like that
don't tell nobody but the reason the temple grad transfer is gonna resume his studies in berkeley is because coach bloesch PROMISED him that he will take him to buc'ee-s when cal visits smu next fall in the atlantic athletic conference inaugural season
yeah the united state of america is a pretty great place (if ur hungry or something)!
Miami just got a transfer QB ... Reese Poffenbarger. Led FCS this season in passing touchdowns (36) and yards (3,603) at Albany. He started his career as a walk-on at Old Dominion.
It is Sweden not Netherlands…. I am that much in your brain? Lol…
look willem ur only in my head cuz it's absolutely incomprehensible to me that a grown azz man like u can't yell at a college football game louder than ur wife joni, that just don't make no sense at all
anyways my favorite swedish desert with my chocolate sweet tooth is kladdaka which is the ghirardelli square sugar high of ibiza
fun fact: bucc-ee's don't go no kladdaka but they do got really tasty slabs of chocolate fudge

thx for the heads up rushing top dog, them miami hurricanes are gonna visit memorial stadium during 2024 & it appears that poffenbarger will be qb1 which from our perspective is way better than facing cameron ward (final choices of miami, florida state or the nfl) again in berkeley
but let's be real here, the hurricanes aren't gonna start at qb1 the best +1 athlete that's available, got it?
It is Sweden not Netherlands…. I am that much in your brain? Lol…
Americans and geography, you know. Some stereotypes are grounded in truth...
At least they're both in Africa or somewhere!
guess wut big c, as someone whose played the last 17 world top 100 golf course lists, shocky knows a ****ton more about maps than miss south carolina, got it?
we need to build edukation better with maps such as the ones in africa and ibiza and so forth#

These days, compared to your average US American (even counting the ones with maps), she's a genius.
Agree ... there is a lot of quick twitch +1 talent in South Beach ... Poffenbarger will have to earn his spot at Miami.
Despite the great season stats his last game was a 0-59 loss to South Dakota St., where he threw 3 interceptions. Against Hawaii, he went 10-31 for 93 yds and 0 TD.
