bikey, ur clear assessment of the situation is shared by an overwhelming majority of the cal fanbase
and let's be clear on this, the only chance of potentially locking down jaivian the JET thomas (the future of cal football & oakland's mayor in waiting with a berkeley degree) is with 100% clarity re: the keys to the car & the reengagement of the now departed bears nil donors to resign javona's very special son/high gpa true student athlete...there's no doubt that the JET could do great things (but on & off the field) in his hometown with a berkeley degree!!
NEW: Michigan true freshman QB Bryce Underwood surprised his high school security guard with a new car❤️
koream, if lyons is done with cal athletics moving forward that will become very apparent at today's press conference
honestly, if lyons wuz not such a cowardly bureaucrat he would've fired knowlton for lying to everybody (including the basketball head coach) re: shovels in the ground re: the dedicated basketball practice facility or the fact that the overwhelming # of cal sport teams got losing conference records
rich, we're all watching to see if ur gonna engage in round #31 of misdirection & obfuscation
cal's kicking game: one of the symptoms of nobody taking clear ownership of the whip is that despite having the WORST kicking unit in the nation last season which cost the bears 3-4 games & the 2025 spring showcase a total continuaiton ****show with low trajectory missed kicks & off target long snaps is that nobody is taking charge of this critical unit of special teams
longwell is no longer listed in the cal directory (and shocky has been told he's not been around for spring ball) but remarkably wilcox just pretends nobody cares about kicking & offers no insights re: the coaching/organizational structure of the kicking game
and yeah it's also true the assembled media is afraid (for reasons unknown to the monster) to ask hard questions about anything including the FAILED kicking game
we all got options re: how we wanna spend our finite time on planet earth, shocky gonna club test the new taylor made qi35 driver, walk his doggy dogs up the mountain, get his daily 32 oz green juice at chopshop & go to master teacher anton's 4:15 pm class today at modern yoga
cal's monster offensive line EXCLUSIVE announcement:
as part of shocky's "plans" for the cal football program which includes no formal organizational structure/reporting lines or running backs, jaron keawe sagapolutele has been moved to left guard & is currently running with the 4s!!
We hit
2 large deep dish carne’s 3 large deep dish Zachary’s specials 2 large deep dish pepperoni 2 XL bbq chicken 2 XL carne’s 1 XL Hawaiian
new coore & crenshaw course update: shocky's favorite living architect bill coore (the wake forest grad is also a north scottsdale resident) is gonna design pinehurst #11!!
bill is the monet/renoir of golf course architecture, hopefully there will be new buc-ee's built nearby for the perfect spring adventure (including a bbq brisket sandwich, a tasty fudge slab & premium 91) after walking 36 holes
yeah shocky is a huge fan of the acc & fall roadtrip gamedays in the shimmering carolina pines at duke, wake forest, north carolina & north carolina state
cal's monster offensive line EXCLUSIVE announcement:
as part of shocky's "plans" for the cal football program which includes no formal organizational structure/reporting lines or running backs, jaron keawe sagapolutele has been moved to left guard & is currently running with the 4s!!

back in the day shocky's stinson beach all star little league team played a practice game before sectionals vs the san quentin guards little league team...before the game our coach mr egide tole us (kinda looking at me specifically, whatever) not to beef with the opposing players & to really not argue with the umpires (inmates with life sentences)...both teams had a picnic lunch in the stands after the game with pizza from the prison kitchen, nobody complained that it tasted like dog food
as for blondies we're on the same page, shocky's gameday ritual includes walking thru campus & getting a couple of cheese slices with extra oregano & then devouring them like a doggy dog on the beautiful walk thru campus en route to watching the early warm ups on the field at memorial stadium
zacharys is way too "gourmet" for the monster but gotta luv their ownership for hosting our hungry bears & losing money that day
as for pizza nite at unit 2, anything is better than fish nites in the dorms with the not so subtle smells permeating the air all the way from the campanile (good time to head instead to the asian ghetto for dinner)
anyways glad that coach anae is feeding his guys in compliance with shocky's "plan" for every starting cal monster offensive lineman to weigh at least 315+ lbs this fall (leidy is exempted from this requirement)
former idaho/wisconsin (transferred to madison for a cold azz winter) physical 6'1" 210 lbs wideout mark hamper from west linn oregon is gonna officially visit berkeley this thursday
hamper is also gonna visit asu & new mexico (his former idaho head coach is now the hc in albuquerque), he wracked up 961 receiving yards on 49 catches as a redshirt freshman for the vandals & got 3 years of remaining eligibility
mark is NOT a dumb azz, he got a 3.5 gpa & is interested in finance

wut will it take to get the collin morikawa of precision field goal kicking thru the middle third of the uprights with range to 57 yards & ice in his veins at all times??
mateen is currently getting $100,000+ at ucla (which is ****** with their largest whale donor casey wasserman's current costly divorce proceedings (no pre nup) with berkeley grad laura ziffrin (a remarkable musical talent) & clients fleeing his agency), a low key communication (shocky is always available) needs to happen with a haas acceptance letter & a couple of more bucks along with an apology from longwell
fixing the kicking game remains the transfer portal #1 priority this april 16th-25th
https://instagr.am/p/DH9JaDIp8p6 UPDATE: kicking today at the 2025 spring showcase wuz absymal (other than a drilled 50 yard make) with a couple of low trajectory missed kicks (including hitting the goal posts) which wuz impacted by off target snaps it's once again clear that the staff needs to look very throughly in the transfer portal next week for an ELITE kicker and longsnapper
yeah we've all seen this ******* movie before with a wilcox coached team
welcome notre dame grad transfer (got 2 years of remaining eligibility) ice in his veins longsnapper rino monteforte from north babylon long island, yeah the cal football program filled a MAJOR position of need & got significantly better today!!
rino is NOT a dumb azz, kellenberg high school got some weird azz numerical academic grading system but basically mr monteforte is a weighted 4.0 gpa true student athlete!!
how u doin' rino??... **** the yankees & balenciaga at ur new alma mater as she crocodile cries down the pike (past the wawa)
the university of california, berkeley=#1 ranked public university in the world (for those that aspire to build generational wealth working on wall street en route along highway 27 to their summer home in the hamptons)
rino, u got ice in ur veins performing on the largest stages on planet earth but did them penn state defenders really jump over ur head after the perfect snap on this clutch game winning field goal??
yeah we're about the same height but nobody is jumping over my broken down azz in manhattan bro
marshall, the above ^ metrics is hopefully conclusive data in encouraging you to more judiciously recruit sub 3.0 gpa high schoolers via the admissions exception for silver bullet enrollees
ur track record of player retention of these low gpa high schoolers is abysmal which is not only unfair to them but also the football program
yeah unless a player is a remarkable young man with ELITE (nfl upside like marshawn) upside with legit ACADEMIC AMBITION (wants to earn a berkeley degree & is willing to sit in the front row at every class & take advantage of the unlimited tutoring opportunities at the study center) u gotta pass on making actionable offers
plz note that this does not apply to grad transfers or other transfers, the post grad cert program is a significantly less academically strenuous program than competing as a berkeley undergrad...also transfers with a year or two at other schools have often gained the academic perspective/maturity to succeed unlike high schoolers
the sad truth is that so many of the players transferring out that u recruited are gonna find out that the highly competitive global world economy unremorsefully favors cal, stanford & ivy league grads in building generational wealth while discarding low gpa ballers to working security at the chandler mall when they're 30 years old
and with the advances in artificial intelligence more mid level and lower jobs are going away, the poor r gonna get poorer & the well educated rich r gonna keep get richer...and that's a shame if young men that throw away berkeley degrees don't understand this ****
jonathan brady is entering the transfer portal, like fellow wideout mikey matthews he did not make a single BLOCK last season on a football field but is adept at catching passes
both jonathan & mikey lack the size & SPEED to evah earn a single dollar in the nfl, throwing away a berkeley degree for a nfl dream that's never gonna happen is part of the deal for naive dumb azzs listening to agents (who get a cut of all new deals) instead of true mentors who have their best interests at heart

https://instagr.am/p/CdRo2YyrKNR bizarro world: the cal men's golf team is currently competing in the 2025 acc championship at a mediocre golf course (the state of kentucky banned the bears from every jewelry store), shocky just noticed that remarkably that miami don't got no golf team
yeah golf is an outside sport (golf carts r for losers), seminole is a pretty long drive thru traffic from the hurricanes campus & south beach is unlivable half the year with the brutal heat/humidity kinda like costa rica, casablanca & rio de janerio...but let's very clear about this, clothes r for losers!!
yeah hopefully leidy orders the linguine con vongole at carbone & not the 30 day old deep fried barracuda at sexy fish or something...leidy can do this **** with no effort

Torrance (Calif.) Bishop Montgomery three-star running back Victor Santino will officially visit Cal, Utah and Boise State this summer with other teams pushing for spots on the itinerary: https://t.co/3lOW0BhX7Xpic.twitter.com/4ZJW3LnTwR
real talk: jaivian, deion sanders is a persuasive salesman but a piece of **** human who does not value academic achievement/degrees...he's run off more college students than any other coach in america thereby significantly reducing their prospects of earning a diploma
the # of lives ruined by deion's core values of greed & academic indifference will be significant when guys turn 30 years of age in today's highly competitive global economy that unremorsefully favors cal, stanford & Ivy league grads in building generational wealth, r u willing to take a chance on being collateral damage??
Torrance (Calif.) Bishop Montgomery three-star running back Victor Santino will officially visit Cal, Utah and Boise State this summer with other teams pushing for spots on the itinerary: https://t.co/3lOW0BhX7Xpic.twitter.com/4ZJW3LnTwR
pitts, agreed, utah & boise state r great schools if u don't value academic achievement and/or r a big fan of getting level 7 hypothermia every winter!!
academically disinterested self proclaimed "pro athlete" kadarius calloway is visiting new mexico state today, if he commits it will be his 5th school yet still no earned college degree
anybody think this story is gonna be sad as **** when kd turns 30 unless calloway gets serious about his studies??
There will be many sad stories coming out of this era, I predict, even for some kids who are getting big payments now. If older pro athletes often can't handle their money, it's not much of a stretch to think an 18-year-old might have the same problem.
one of my favorite professor's profound beliefs is that lower socioeconomic young black men unwisely chase professional sports dreams over college degress with devestating consequences for the black community with former athletes left outta the job market & then often deserting their children who need love & academic role models with the cycle of poverty repeated over & over
years later primarily low gpa young black men are still throwing away berkeley degrees & that's a shame
the struggle that must be (for those that lack (or don't listen) to mentors)#
bears are in 6th place with the top 8 teams advancing to match play after 54 holes, outstanding play on the par 5s (8 under par) & improved decision making/ball striking on the par 3s (3 over par) wuz critical to today's strong play

2025 zurich classic pro/pro tournament in new orleans: 1st round update
collin morikawa/kurt kitayama (61, tied for 3rd): fantastic start for the las vegas tight brahs (not gonna lie to u, these 2 dumb azzs play video games all nite with each other)...epic finish when kurt (low gpa unlv grad) rinsed his 2nd shot in the lake on the par 5 18th hole which mean meant collin (high gpa berkeley grad) had to play the hole all by himself...morikawa knocked his fairway wood 2nd shot into the greenside bunker, in his 1st bunker shot in competition since last week's fiasco in the sand our haas biz ad grad knocked it to 3 feet for a tap in birdie 4!
today wuz the FUN best ball, tomorrow is the much more stressful (and hopefully faster playing) alternate shot format...some of the young guns at the top r gonna go mental & lose their **** unlike our steely ice in their veins brahs
these 2 guys 100% luv doing the hang with each other with light banter & big smiles, yeah golf is just a ******* game, right abby??
