the following is a reprint from cal's monster class back in the day:
visited this morning the recently opened nicklaus design group ferry point golf course just outside of nyc with panoramic views of the manhattan skyline
https://instagr.am/p/C7dS0GksHlA arrive from my upper east side central park hotel by cab at the clubhouse around 7:30 am to stretch & warm up at the practice facility
upon arrival the head golf professional tells me that ferry point's developer donald trump heard that as a golf digest & golf magazine rankings panelist that i had an 8:10 tee time and would i like to play with the donald at 8:20 am instead?
so i say sure, no big deal, let's do this
so we make the introductions on the practice green & the 1st thing i notice is that trump has the weirdest color hair ever (kinda yellow orange) & that he has total man boobs along with an oversized obnoxious red cap
i walk & carry my lightweight leather mackzenie bag while the donald drives a golf cart literally to within 6 inches of every green...just as annoyingly, we then proceed to play thru every group on the golf course in front of us (why does he do this, why not just take the 1st tee time?)...it's funny to watch people's reactions as he dictates the playing thru, some golfers are understandably agitated while others want a selfie with him on their phones, he very clearly enjoys all the drama he's created
so he tells us while we wait for the short par 4 8th green to clear that he thinks ferry point is one of the greatest golf courses in the united states (it isn't, there are at least a dozen courses on long island & the hamptons that are significantly better) & that he's qualified to make that statement because of his extensive travels around the globe playing golf, that nobody knows golf architecture better than him & that includes actual golf architects
so in front of his 2 buddies & his cart caddie i tell the donald that actually i'm one of the 13 guys (and the youngest) to have played the world top 100 courses & stare him down...total silence, one of his buddies who is the chairman of macys starts to laugh & donald play punches my shoulder kinda hard, he's been pwned...whatever
dude is an interesting guy but playing golf with him is not really a celebration of the game but more like riding a roller coaster
you're fired, shocky#
as a financial conservative (that believes in balanced fiscal budgets/discipline & the full funding of the police but that will never vote for election deniers) & social liberal (except transgender males tryna compete in women's sports & dei protections for failing employees) independent that strongly believes that all citizens of the united state of america should pick up litter, shocky can tell u that after spending 5+ hours (golf & lunch) with donald trump that he lacks empathy for others & that he's non intellectually curious in a self agenda driven feral kinda way
yeah the 3 bears did some unreal work on their finishing hole today but not much to show for the late charges
james hahn: rolled in a must make clutch 8 foot birdie putt on the par 5 18th hole to make the cut by a stroke with a 71 & tied for 55th...congrats james & good luck this weekend!!
michael kim: chipped in for a 45 foot eagle 3 on his final hole the par 5 9th hole but the cutline moved lower later in the day after shooting a muy caliente 65...yeah pro golf is really ******* hard, missed the cut by a stroke
ben an: as a result of crooked azz driving (missed 13 fairways in 2 round) shot a 66 despite chipping in from 70 feet into the late afternoon sun for an eagle 3 on the 18th hole, missed the cut by a stroke

~ shock ever played silverknowes or on Arran Isle with the sheep on the fairways?, Fair A'Far a real place cottages & roman ruins & Hanseatic harbour, river Almond to Cramond
ct, shocky has not played silverknowes near edinburgh (his favorite city in scotland, luv the walking city tour with the comedian) & while he hasn't played on arran isle in western scotland he has played ardfin on the nearby tiny spectacular isle of jura in completing his 17th golf magazine world top 100 list (u can count on one hand the # of people on planet earth that have played as many of the greatest courses in the world as shocky)
it all started as a caddie at san francisco golf club & earning a berkeley haas biz ad degree (not gonna mention the dozen well fargos that the monster cased back in the day with his now deceased partner the hawk who tole him "gimme the goods half the action, u get the chance to getaway for me it's too late")
but think twice (before trying a handstand in ibiza) that's my only advice#
^ this advice is particularly relevant if ur a curvy brunette yoga female with a smokeshow ponytail but NO underwear but on the other hand that's muy caliente chica!!
fun fact: with the projected departures outpacing the projected additions & the 2025 ncca scholly max increasing from 85 to 105 (the bears will be close to 85++), it has never been a better time to be a cal football preferred walk on (the shocky equivalent of a rescue doggy dog)...these often unrecognized student athletes who work just as hard as the starters were once the saddest sideshow on planet earth, now quite a few of them are gonna be rewarded with 2025 schollys, CONGRATS!!
https://instagr.am/p/-E9MQiBHRU the university of california, berkeley=#1 ranked public university in the WORLD (and creating elite educational opportunities for the formerly forgotten & those who sing outta tune)
joego, that's an interesting take on adding 2 more wideouts to the room, r u not impressed with the guys (none of them have shown any ability to BLOCK or stay healthy at this time) right now??...who would u return to the wr room in 2025??
a fascinating NEW aspect of 2025 scholly roster math are the ncca regulations now phasing out walk ons, some really tough ******* decisions are going on right now!!
last season the california golden bears football roster wuz 119 players which included 34 walk ons
as it relates to the wide receiver room shocky is a huge fan of physical jordan king & special teams standout isaac torres!!
due to the impending financial tsunami heading towards the university & knowlton's inability to read a financial statement (the con artist would rather just keep borrowing tens of millions of dollars which will never have revenues for repayment while chancellor lyons just looks out his window at the campanile on a winter's day) the football program needs to be as close to 85+++++ schollys for 2025
sub 3.0 gpa 2025 cal rb decommit jusyis solis to sacramento state, the hornets r gonna score points in marion's go go offense (without any academic pressures like reading books & ****)
3) developing quick twitch +1 athletic football players that can mitigate INJURIES & absorb violent collisions in football thru yoga/meditation practices ignited by the s&c program
playing the 2 par 5s like a boss man with an eagle 3 on the par 5th 18th hole which featured a tradewind propelled 355 drive into the middle of the fairway & a scrambling birdie 4 on the par 5 9th hole james hahn shot a 69 & moved up 1 spot into a tie for 56th
after spending time with the cal offensive brainstrust this week, jaron is flying to honolulu for next week's 2025 all polynesian bowl game joining bears teammate safety aidan manutai, festivities start tomorrow & run until the game on friday january 17th at kunuiakea stadium
the feedback from those meeting jaron for the 1st time is that they are impressed with his warmth & humility...and yeah the jks 3.75 gpa is really important given the upcoming significant time demands of learning the bears new offense this spring, getting stronger/faster in the s&c program & working hard in the berkeley classrooms
then jaron & the 4.0 gpa aidan will be flying to berkeley in time for the 1st day of class on tuesday january 22nd
fun fact: this all star game is not restricted to players of poly descent, akili smith jr will also be in honolulu to give jks an update on the freezing azz cold eugene weather...brhhhh, who the **** would wanna live in an icy igloo community playing for a football factory school with **** academics??

after consultation with the staffs at cal, north carolina & the unaccredited university of ibiza, shocky is excited to announce the winners are mimi & kiersten de jesus!!
Jacob De Jesus' daughter Mimi is going viral with this cute @SInow interview ❤️
"I'm not cheering for Boise because they're a bad team."
pitts & hairy, it's a shame but lebron williams wuz not selected to the game & also that instead of picking actual players in the game as captains that the event organizers inexplicably named colorado's travis hunter & arizona's tetairoa as honorary co captains
the 2025 qb1 is gonna be former high school all american & ohio state buckeye 6'3" 212 lbs devin brown!!...brown got 2 years of remaining eligiblity
shocky saw devin play back in the day at queen creek high school with ELITE arm strength & delivers a catchable ball with a decisive clean motion who works thru his progressions with a high football iq & that can make tough yards if necessary with his legs with physical aggression...in high school he passed for an unreal 8,000+ yards & 85 touchdowns in highly competitive leagues
devin is NOT a dumb azz, he gotta 4.4 gpa & an all academic big 10 honoree
if u don't got season tix(s) for the bears 2025 season ur gonna miss something special!!

Jamar Searcy from Pittsburgh HS is a flat out baller. Tough, smart, fast and elusive. He would be an amazing addition to the running back room. He originally committed to WSU, but has since recommitted. Go get 'em Wilcox and Co.!
jj, agreed searcy is an explosive talent with the ball in his hands, do u know his gpa?
any discussion of cal football recruiting that don't include a gpa is ******* worthless (it's a shame that the premium board hasn't figured that out yet)
Arkansas wide receiver transfer Dazmin James is set to transfer to Cal, a source tells @CBSSports/@247Sports.
James, a freshman this year, had a breakout performance with three catches, 137 yards and a TD in Arkansas’ bowl game win over Texas Tech. Other finalists were… pic.twitter.com/zaJXX1dErK

Searcy is a baller. I watched him kill Archbishop Riordan with a 2 long rushing Td's, a pic 6 in the first quarter and an interception to seal a victory for Pittsburgh HS. Kid is tough, quick to get into open space and has long speed too. Yeah Cal should be all over him.
alky, if this is 4.29 electronically timed SPEED dazmin james will be the FASTEST player in the history of cal football!!
with respects to cal men's basketball, as a passionate fan that actually attends all the home games are you in agreement that the #1 issue holding back madsen's squad on a consistent basis is the failure to play DEFENSE??
He is not faster than Desean Jackson. Just look at the film. I like his speed and believe will be a solid WR at Cal. Desean was a game breaker every time he touched the ball with being fast and quick. Nonetheless, he is a great find for Cal.
warning: do NOT watch the above video if u got a heart condition or something
wowza, dazmin's james SPEED & ACCELERATION is ******* unreal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
shocky always roots for the underdogs & rescue doggy dogs in life & already luvs dazmin james willingness to transform himself as a high school senior from a disinterested student to a mentally limitless hard working true student athlete!!
dazmin james=3.0 gpa young man that will hopefully walk across the stage on graduation day in berkeley in the future after using his mind as a weapon both on & off the field at memorial stadium on gamedays
this **** is getting live!!#
the university of berkeley=#1 ranked public university in the world (for those that got ambition, it's something in ur veins)

James was North Carolina H.S. State sprint champ. He's fast.
Hoops? Defense wasn't the main problem yesterday. But it has been for sure. Shooting 17% in the first half doomed the Bears. Not enough assists, too much "me" ball. And they have no interior scoring threat from Sassoko or Dort.
Plenty of blame to go around. Not impressed with his staff.
He is not faster than Desean Jackson. Just look at the film. I like his speed and believe will be a solid WR at Cal. Desean was a game breaker every time he touched the ball with being fast and quick. Nonetheless, he is a great find for Cal.
agreed that he's a great find, u can't teach SPEED
alky, appreciate ur feedback re: hoops & agreed that madsen has not surrounded himself with a strong developmental staff or guys that can recruit high gpa guys to berkeley
mark wuz told by the pathological liar general knowlton that the shovels in the ground for the critically needed basketball practice facility wuz imminent when in reality not a single dollar has been collected & a bb facility isn't even listed on the university wide schedule of future construction projects
knowlton alienated doug & lisa goldman which resulted in their withdrawing their $10,000,000 lead donation & perhaps even more importantly jaylen brown thinks he a ******* loser after unsuccessfully tryna explain to the con artist the importance of a trusted black head coach/mentor for guys from single parent households like jb
madsen has dug himself a hole by surrounding himself with ineffectual assistant coaches that for whatever reasons can't teach championship (or even game winning) DEFENSE...the only assistant coach with upside is matt scherbenske who worked for ben braun back in the day
joe pasternack directly tole me he had a plan (which wuz viable) to build the basketball practice facility & also hire a berkeley connected staff with my guys theo robertson, sir richard midgley & lou ritchie (in an academic mentoring role) all of whom are berkeley grads who could passionately sell the #1 ranked public university in the world to players & their moms
