former cal running backs update:

these 3 students athletes with zero nfl upside walked away from life changing berkeley degrees to academically mediocre schools in their quests to become nfl prospects which is never gonna happen, they face uncertain futures in a highly competitive global economy that favors the well educated like cal, stanford & ivy league grads

damien moore (lamar): 13 rushes for 44 yards, 3.4 average
chris street (utah tech): 20 rushes for 60 yards, 3.0 average
ashton hayes (nevada): no stats this season but listed as the backup kick returner on special teams

You Lie! Ashton Hayes had one punt return fumble against SMU that cost Nevada the game. That is a stat!

COACH SAFFELL'S TIGHT ENDS PLAYING ROTATIONS:

game 1 vs davis:
jack endries: 38
corey dyches: 34
jt bryne; 9

game 2 vs auburn:
jack endries: 48
corey dyches: 33
jt bryne: 2

game 3 vs san diego state:
jack endries: 48
corey dyches: 41
jt byrne: 7

https://instagr.am/p/C_7RDCcRwp4
jack endries has built his body up after last season's getting sand kicked in his face & corey dyches is a dynamic willing blocker/vertical passing threat, together they are arguably the top tight end tandem in college football...blue collar hammersmith jt bryne brings energy on all of his gameday snaps (and gotta curvy brunette yoga female gf too)

https://instagr.am/p/C3jpAAzOoyi
redshirt freshman ben marshall got the necessary quick twitch +1 athleticism/acrobatic pass catching skills that characterizes the new breed of cal tight ends, he just needs to build his body/strength in order to become a gameday force...6'6" 240 lbs true freshman camden jones got nightmare mismatch potential but also gotta build strength & acclimate academically in bekeley

the coach wilcox era in berkeley has been characterized by beyond bad breaking tight end play which can be attributed to a string of poor player evaluations (usually non athletic white guys that lack SPEED) by multiple consecutive outta touch (recruiting the position like it wuz still the 1980s) tight end coaches but the good news is that future head coach in waiting mike saffell has dramatically recruited/developed the room from the worst room on the offense to the most productive room

the cal offense turned on the lights in the 2nd half against san diego state when coach bloesch went to 2 tight end packages vs 3 wideouts, fully expect that to be the starting line up & gameplan for florida state

Cal has used 2 TEs a lot this season. Not just vs SDSU. They did more motion with another big TE (Byrne) and utilized his blocking to create some run lanes. He did not play a ton of snaps but that formation was very effective when used. But Cal plays Endries and Dyches together a lot currently. What Dyches gives you is the versatility to play 2 TEs but also flex out as a big WR if the defense wants to stack the box. His receiving ability can be very effective as 2 TE formations typically mean LB or S coverge on the TE. Dyches can defeat that.

Bloesch has used TEs very well over the years. I agree this game could feature more 2 TE sets than normal but they feature it a lot already.

wheels up for the sunshine state with a smokeshow sidestop in miami for a late nite biz dinner at sexy fish/early morning tee time sorta near biscayne bay where the cuban gentlemen sleep all day

https://instagr.am/p/CwnmKS3rV4R
my daughter taylor is kinda mad that her dad is gonna be on the east coast & not invite her down from manhattan to south beach so the compromise is that tay is gonna fly out to the bay for the stanford big game in mid/late november so we can hopefully celebrate shocky's scorpio skies b-day postgame at midfield after STORMIN' THE FIELD at memorial stadium with 60,000+ other joyous partygoers with the seagulls circling from high above further afar

https://instagr.am/p/C1aj-gHRKtb
back in the day when shocky made his 1st trip to florida his biz mentor johnny tole him that it wuz mandatory that he eat brunch at joe's stone crab, jj tole shocks that there would be a 100+ people waiting on the patio for a table & the key wuz to fold up 20 bucks & palm it to the maitre'd with a smile/quick comment that i wuz a good friend of dr paul ruebenstein

so shocky follows the instructions & gets seated immediately at a premium seat by the water!!

gets home & tells jj how it all went down...johnny asks did u really tell the maitre'd that u know dr paul ruebenstein??...shockys say yeah, that's wut u tole me to do...with a smirk jj tells schulzie there's no dr paul ruebenstein, he just made up that name (the 20 bucks wuz the key)

another funny dumb azz shocky story: after graduating from the haas biz school schulzie starts his career in the heart of downtown san francisco at 600 california street (would take the cable car to work & jump off in front of the building on the steepest street in sf despite repeated warnings from the conductor to not do so, the monster is UNBREAKABLE like sioape)

so after his receiving his 1st paycheck (the 1st of his life, working as a caddie during his stinson beach high school & berkeley days wuz all CASH) shocky goes to the personnel department a little before 5:00 pm on a friday & tells the hr director mr nelson his problem/suggestion

mr nelson smiles & gets the entire hr staff of 15 together in his office & asks me to repeat my story which goes something like this, "hi, i'm bill the new guy in finance/marketing and ima kinda poor as dirt right now living in the city and not planning to retire any time soon so would you please delete this fica deduction from my next payroll check?"

uproarious laughter ensues, ruh roh, shocky is a ******* dumb azz!!

big c, pretty much everyone on planet earth particularly those on the left & east coasts all secretly wish that they lived next to a culiver's (the triple cheeseburger with bacon & deep fried jumbo fries with extra ketchup washed down with a 32 oz chocolate shake is a great value & a real artery angioplasty crowd pleaser on friday nites in ames) in iowa (or really anywhere in the midwest)

and yeah shocky is a big fan of muscular white girls in coveralls that can bench 200+ lbs & that got tattoos of farm equipment

fun fact: acc roadtrips r 1,000,000+% more FUN than big 10 or big 12 truck stop town roadies (unless ur walking 36 holes at prairie dunes or something)

brisk walking twosome 18 holes at seminole golf club (she has never sparkled so brilliantly with the recent restoration work by coore & crenshaw to expose the sand dunes of arguably the donald ross masterpiece) with "key largo" on our bags who is a greens reading wizard

afterwards over an early lunch of delicious pan seared cod in a white wine tomato sauce in the iconic pink clubhouse hard by the atlantic ocean asked the member if it might be possible to attend a yoga class tomorrow in tallahassee before the 7:00 pm kickoff which resulted in mr big explaining to me that many longtime (i.e. bluebloods) floridians do not consider the florida panhandle (which includes tallahassee) as part of the "real florida" but rather part of the "deep south" where nascar rivals college football in popularity

That is probably true about the Florida panhandle. FWIW, my friend in Calahassee claims that, except for Ron DeSantis' office, most of the city is a bastion of progressivism, relatively speaking. Note I said relatively speaking.

congrats to haas biz ad grad michael weaver along with stephen hale competing in the us mid amateur at kinloch (almost half the holes got double fairways which creates a lotta strategic options with immaculate conditioning, best course in virginia), the above foto is when weav & his former teammates max homa & michael kim competed at the us open at merion...that bears team which also included brandon hagy & joel stalter is considered the most dominant team in the history of men's collegiate golf (most tournaments won by a team)!!!

this year's bears squad opens the season opens at aldarra (an above average fazio design with some really dumb holes like the impossible 234 yards domed green par 3 15th hole, doubtful they will use the back tee) outside of seattle with the following line up:

1. charlie berridge (blueshirt jr)
2. danie heo (jr)
3. wenliang xie (grad sr)
4. tony cheng (sr)
5. matthew miyamoto (true fr)

on the dp tour at wentworth west ben an shot a 69 & is tied for 55th after 2 rounds heading into the weekend

stanford cardinals 26
syracuse orange 24

congrats to troy taylor on his high gpa cards inaugural acc victory, cal would be in the mother******* mountain west conference if not for stanford/notre dame lobbying for berkeley (while clueless christ & dumb as **** knowlton wuz blindly following pac 12 commish george k into the abyss)

but with that being said stanford qb1 ashton daniels throws a lotta balls up for grabs (the takers gotta luv that ****) & the stanford offensive line is beyond bad with holding & offside penalties...cards wideout eric ayomanor is a legit nfl talent & its mind boggling the orange did not double bracket him all nite

syracuse also gotta beyond breaking bad offensive line (17 rushes for 26 yards) which means that qb1 kyle mccord (whose 2 untimely interceptions factored in the outcome) is running a one dimensional offensive that is susceptible to heavy blitz packages

neither team got lockdown defenses

the bears are gonna play both stanford & syracuse at memorial stadium, both of them are winnable games

hollywood, nsw is a world top 100 course so that's too bad it's closed for renovations (greg norman has done a lotta ruinivation work which is outta character with the original mackenzie design) & the only other course worth playing is royal sydney which is good not great (tho the short par 4 1st hole is fun) on a flattish property near the city centre

the other world top 100 course near sydney is ellertson which is on the private residence of the wealthiest family in australia, it gets between 300 to 400 rounds a year (and more than half of those rounds are by the greens keeping staff, there's no head pro or clubhouse) & is strictly by invitation only by the packer family

so back in the day shocky gets the invitation to visit ellerston the next day while he's in bali, he gets the midnight red eye flight from bali to sydney which is full of drunk azz weekend partygoers (kinda like the last flite outta las vegas)

shocky arrives in sydney at 6:00 am & the australian equivalent of tsa has the following conversation with me:

tsa agent: why are you visiting australia for only 24 hours?

shocky (kinda tired): to play golf

tsa agent: nobody visits australia for one round of golf, which course are you playing?

shocky: ellerston

tsa agent (taking me to the back room): never heard of it, come with me

tsa supervisor (thinking shocky is an arms or narcotics trafficker): so tell me why your visiting australia to play one course and what course is this?

shocky: ellerston

tsa supervisor: i play a lot of golf and am not familiar with ellerston, are you sure this is the correct name of the course?

shocky: can i show you my letter of invitation?...it's in my shoulder bag?

both tsa supervisors (watching me carefully): ok but keep your hands where we can see them

shocky (moving slowly/deliberately thru his bag pulling out a piece of paper): ok, here's the email with the invitation from mr kerry packer

wowza, that wuz the right answer!!...after reading the email, they apologized to me profusely, got me a bottle of cold water & took me on a golf cart with my golf & shoulder bags to avis & waved goodbye wishing me happy travels!!

ellerston reminds me a lot of the hills in marin near stinson beach high school, it's got only one set of tees at 7,300 yards tho the greens supt & i played from a little over 7,000 yards with the rock hard firm fairways which wuz a blast

but ellerston isn't really accessible for anyone (including probably me) so my suggestion is take a 24 hour holiday from ur film & take a flight to tasmania to the barnbougle resort & play their 2 world top 100 courses in tom doak's barnbougle dunes and coore & crenshaw's lost farms...both are world class elite designs in the most natural setting imaginable

hollywood, no worries, that can be arranged the next time the bears gotta game in this neck of the woods

glad u got to breakaway from ur movie production schedule down under & play both royal melbourne & kingston heath, have u had a chance to tee it up at mackenzie's new south wales yet?

fun fact: auburn ("cow college with multiple mascots") is within driving distance (one pit stop at buc-ee's) of tallahassee, miami not so much

I haven't gone to Sydney yet, but unfortunately, NSW is closed for renovation...UGH! Any other recommendations for the Sydney area. Heading there the next few weeks.

Royal Melbourne was Top 5 for me. Just simply amazing.

hollywood, nsw is a world top 100 course so that's too bad it's closed for renovations (greg norman has done a lotta ruinivation work which is outta character with the original mackenzie design) & the only other course worth playing is royal sydney which is good not great (tho the short par 4 1st hole is fun) on a flattish property near the city centre

the other world top 100 course near sydney is ellertson which is on the private residence of the wealthiest family in australia, it gets between 300 to 400 rounds a year (and more than half of those rounds are by the greens keeping staff, there's no head pro or clubhouse) & is strictly by invitation only by the packer family

so back in the day shocky gets the invitation to visit ellerston the next day while he's in bali, he gets the midnight red eye flight from bali to sydney which is full of drunk azz weekend partygoers (kinda like the last flite outta las vegas)

shocky arrives in sydney at 6:00 am & the australian equivalent of tsa has the following conversation with me:

tsa agent: why are you visiting australia for only 24 hours?

shocky (kinda tired): to play golf

tsa agent: nobody visits australia for one round of golf, which course are you playing?

shocky: ellerston

tsa agent (taking me to the back room): never heard of it, come with me

tsa supervisor (thinking shocky is an arms or narcotics trafficker): so tell me why your visiting australia to play one course and what course is this?

shocky: ellerston

tsa supervisor: i play a lot of golf and am not familiar with ellerston, are you sure this is the correct name of the course?

shocky: can i show you my letter of invitation?...it's in my shoulder bag?

both tsa supervisors (watching me carefully): ok but keep your hands where we can see them

shocky (moving slowly/deliberately thru his bag pulling out a piece of paper): ok, here's the email with the invitation from mr kerry packer
