louisville cardinals 28
james madison dukes 14

offensively usc transfer miller moss (gotta hot stanford grad ceo moms) is a competent qb1 against bend but don't break schemes but is wildly inaccurate (13 of 23 completions for only 151 yards) when under pressure & gotta improvise off script as a non athletic statue...and the cards rushing attack wuz shut down for most of the nite by jason novak's well conditioned high motor dukes defenders

defensively the card's ron english (berkeley grad) dc coached up d is very physically stout in the front 7 but the d's best player middle linebacker stanquan clark (basically our cade uluave) left the field in a golf cart presumably not on his way to a tee time at valhalla

the louisville cardinals (2-0) know how to win football games without looking dominating, the bears roadie to kentucky on november 8th is gonna be a challenging but winnable acc battle

and yeah shocky has long been a fan of that purple clad dead prez school in virginia that shares the monster's view that it's important to not be a dumb azz

^^ 100% jb, last week the o-line rotation went 7 deep, hopefully 10+ trench workers get snaps this afternoon

other bears goals should include as many field goal kicks as possible, devin brown getting an opportunity & most importantly exiting the game with zero INJURIES to the starters

minnesota golden gophers 66
northwestern state demons 0

the minnesota gophers (2-0) play straight up physical big 10 smash mouth football without a lot of trickeration, the gophers battle next saturday nite at 7:30 pm is gonna be an electric midwest vs west coast battle with a huge crowd projected at memorial stadium!!

does northwestern state think that low gpa students wanna matriculate there so they (and their parents) can brag they attend northwestern??...and do the demons play big rivalry games with yale technical college and harvard a&m??

baylor bears 48
smu mustangs 45

offensively the pony's qb1 kevin jennings is a special playmaker (16 of 22 passes completed for 295 yards) & rb1 tj harden added 115 yards on 19 carries

defensively smu got blitzed for 601 yards, this is NOT the same d the bears played last november in the traitor caca mendoza ****show in dallas

yeah the smu mustangs (1-1) are gonna get going again when they travel next weekend to missouri state of the mark twain tributary conference

______________________________________________


illinois fightin illini 45
duke blue devils 19

offensively qb1 darian mensah can light it up (22 of 34 passes completed for 334 yards) but the devils are one dimensional with a mediocre ground game

defensively duke is physical up front limiting the illini to only 2.9 yards per rush but gave up a porous 296 yards in the air with no interceptions

the duke blue devils (1-1) will be visiting berkeley on october 4th, the bears are gonna be able to put points on the scoreboard

michigan state 42
boston college eagles 40

offensively bc's qb1 dylan lonergan is a savvy highly accurate passer without a rocket arm in throwing for 390 yards in the air!!

defensively this unit plays hard but lacks +1 athletic playmakers

brutal 2 overtime loss for the boston college eagles (1-1), the bears eastcoastie roadtrip to chestnut hill during the ryder cup on long island is hopefully gonna culminate with a late nite celebration in the back bay!!

vanderbilt commodores 44
virginia tech hokies 20

offensively shocky has always been entertained watching high risk/high reward qb1 kyron drones but he could only pass for 134 yards against a 2nd straight sec defense & the hokies only added 114 yards on the ground'

defensively vt gave up almost 500 yards with surprisingly poor tackling

hopefully weather won't be a major factor in the cal roadie to blacksburg on friday nite october 24, this is a winnable acc game against them virginia tech hokies (0-2) for the bears

virginia cavaliers 31

offensively north texas transfer undersized qb1 chandler morris passed for 257 yards on a highly efficient 30 of 43
passing in the cavs short rang aerial scheme and rb1 j'mari taylor added 151 yards

defensively virginia's bend but don't break strategy broke today, run roh where's the scooby snacks??

looking forward to a competitive acc battle with the virginia cavaliers (1-1) at memorial stadium on november 1st

california golden bears 35
texas southern tigers 3

beautiful bay area afternoon at memorial stadium in the battle of the bands with less piped in music!!

right tackle 1: after getting flagged for penalties in both games, braden miller wuz subbed out for 6'8" 330 lbs leon bell which coincided with the running attack starting to roll downfield, shocky will be shocked if leon is not the starter vs minnesota

running back 1: kendrick raphael got an acceleration burst & has earned the rb1 job against the gophers

tight end: mason mini is a man among boyz on planet earth!!

punting: watching on the field at the south end zone during the pregame warm ups, punter michael kern literally hooked 5 punts outta bounds prior in a row & then in the 1st half he kicked a line drive short punt, in contrast brook honore's pregame punts wuz not only longer but also with significantly more hang time...coach frisina needs a wide open punting competition to determine the starting punter job moving forward

inside linebackers: legoland high school mlb luke ferrelli is gonna continue the golden bears tradition of the next great insider backer (which is critical in the wilcox d scheme which funnels plays to the mlbs)...harrison taggart took some bad angles & got his azz chewed out on the sidelines, he's gotta step up his game in starting while world cage fighter cade uluave is ineligible to playing during the 1st half next saturday

THE TAKERS: it's pretty ******* obvious that zeke & paco both got remarkable skillsets to close on the ball in the air & isaiah crosby is quickly developing as a reliable undersized tackler with SPEED on the back end

jacob de jesus: the 5'6" filipino in the return game is worth the price of a tix & do NOT sleep on shifty/fast as **** quaron adams either!!

JKS: stared down his receivers with his eyes which allowed defenders to close on the ball & also for d-lineman to put up their paws & bat down passes, expect rolo & harsin to develop jaron's field vision without telegraphing his downfield vertical strikes

attendance: in checking out the black hole section during the pregame warm ups, the fans looked less like raiders fans & more like cal fans that just wanted they heavily discounted tixs, the minnesota game in an ELECTRIC saturday nite atmosphere against a big time opponent will be a much more attractive game for raider nation

very disappointing that gm rivera didn't offer FREE tixs to all berkeley students, it's misleading to think the student section passes sold out when there wuz 30,000+ empty seats in memorial stadium

loudest fan at memorial stadium: it's tj bollers moms & it's not even close!!

funny moments: co athletic director ****tard jay larson wuz resoundingly booed when announced by the shrill voiced stadium announcer during a check presentation to a charity...smallest kid participant won the bear growl contest for the 59th time in a row with a really unique growl...tv sofa fans r missing more than just a football game, there's the pageantry of college football plus their actual fb viewing is severely limited to whatever the camera shows them (they can't just focus on right tackle play for instance)!!

texas southern band: they rival grambling as the most impressive college band of all time in the monster's musical opinion (lots of loud pumping bass, do they electronically amplify their tunes??)

stanford cardinals 3

the bears gotta very challenging roadie to lavelle edward stadium (they gave all us cal fans FREE vanilla ice creams at half time last time!!) provo against byu in 2026, the cougs true freshman qb1 bear bachmeier literally runs the **** over defenders like a coked up grizzly bear (maybe they should make a movie about that or something??

fun fact: if the stanford cardinals (0-2) don't beat their local rival san jose state later this month, then there's a pretty good chance that the cards finish this season 0-12 with arguably the worst offense in the history of college football

The Ocean of Soul was amazing. There PA announcer was energetic and I think that makes a big difference. My favorite part was when they were at the 50 and they drop their instruments and start a choreographed dance. The PA was very gracious to Berkeley and their band got a standing ovation. Then our band came out and there was no real energy.

Pregame tailgate at Memorial Glade was fine. Kids got their face painted. Football throwing. Jumpy house. Not as many food options but I think that will continue to grow.
Got into the stadium around 30 minutes before kickoff and was worried we would get no where close to 30-40k. Students showed up and had almost 2 full sections full. Corner sections were sparse. Could get the best view of the West side seats.
JKS looked at his first read too long to start the game instead of letting the play develop a little longer. Forcing the ball into coverage was frustrating. Hopefully a good learning experience.
WR need to get on those jug machines from Sun up to Sun down
Rafael looks like he can get 5-10 a carry with quick burst and great body control. We definitely miss the home run threat of the JET
OL performed as they should against lesser competition. I only remember one false start and 1-2 holdings. Just continue to keep gelling and we should be pretty good by conference
Defense as a whole looked good. Only giving up 3 points you would think they were great but definitely some things to work on. 2 sacks is not enough. We need more pressure. Saw lots of bad angles to the ball that cost us some chunk yardage. Can't have that vs better teams. DBs & Safeties played real well. Nothing over the top of them with tight coverage and a few PBUs. Would love for them to be able to turn their heads on those longer throws and readjust their body position and get some "easy" INTs. (I know easier said then done.)
Special teams looks special. De Jesus is Deshaun Jackson lite when returning punts. We have 2 FG kickers with confidence. Coverage was pretty good for the most part. 2 successful fake plays.

All in all it was a great day at Memorial. We missed the post game battle of the bands but the kids were tired and hungry. Let's clean some things up get loud for next Saturday against the Golden Gophers. Go Bears!!!

cal's monster class analysis why u need to get to memorial stadium next saturday nite at 7:30 pm (and not be a sofa troll like trumpanzee whose never been to a game in berkeley)

the bears got a HUGE opportunity against the minnesota gophers with a national tv audience next weekend, during the coach wilcox era most notably last year's ****show meltdown vs miami the bears have lost these key games usually getting outcoached

but the vibes surrounding this year's squad feels different, standing on the field during pregame warm ups our bears bodies are significantly transformed thanks to coach novak & his relentless staff, there's not an opponent on the 2025 schedule that is a physical mismatch (which has never been true at any point during the last decade)

and that's really ******* important because the bears are outta time (wilcox retaining brian johnson & ryan longwell thru the end of last season sealed that fate), with the acc buy out clause coming into effect in the summer of 2027 (must give written advance notice of withdrawal by june 1, 2026) & the 2026 schedule (including clemson in berkeley, smu & byu on the road) light years more challenging, the bears gotta win NOW or risk relegation to an irrelevant conference

and that's why ron rivera, chancellor lyons, kevin kennedy & lance cooper are so invested in the program right now, losers go home forevah...nobody thinks there's time for a rebuild with a new head coach, there's no time for that & that's why in justin we must trust for the break thru wins!!

so this saturday nite will be the big REVEAL with our bears feeding off ur ENERGY, is this the beginning of a beautiful future for the cal football program or is this the end & our heartbeats are never gonna beat together again??????????????????



do u got ur tix(s) for saturday nite vs them big 10 (when will we see u again)??#

a wise person tole me tonite that the only way that the university is gonna offer FREE tixs to all berkeley students is if shocky pays for the tixs

but here's the problem

shocky is still emotionally upset that cal's monster class wuz intentionally terminated back in the day thwarting his relentless passionate efforts to bring a men's national championship in basketball to berkeley which to this day he believes we wuz on the correct trajectory for making this a reality

yeah the monster still got some unresolved scar tissue he needs to ******* get over, life goes on




is shocky truly crazy as ****?#

shocky believes in the redistribution of wealth in the united states & planet earth thru elite educational opportunities at institutions like berkeley, stanford & the ivy leagues for those from lower socioeconomic backgrounds that are willing to do the HARD WORK, no FREE handouts (other than gameday tixs which are an investment in the university's future financial outlook) or watered down academic curriculums or other bull**** in setting them on a course towards earning generational wealth (if they are inclined to do so)

back in the day my poor as **** moms who grew up above a laundry in san francisco earned a berkeley degree & went on to become the largest drug dealer in nor cal (ok, the executive vice president for pharmaceutical services for kaiser)

more recently vals graduated from berkeley in an astonishing 3 years & is now running the cal football program's wildly creative media campaigns, she is a gifted natural storyteller (plus she got good music & a ponytail too)

from the jump a major priority for this thread has been the relentless documentation re: the worthless bureaucrats in berkeley & the systematic gameplan for their removal

how r we doing rite now (in chronological order)??

tom lowry (not a berkeley grad), chief financial officer: retired
sierra achin (berkeley grad), new chief financial officer, 1000% upgrade!!

carol "benevolent but outta touch" christ, chancellor: retired
rich lyons (berkeley grad), new chancellor, 1000% upgrade!!

james knowlton, athletic director: "retired" (with a golden parachute)
tbd, andrew mcgraw (berkeley grad) is the best candidate to streamline the department to 15 championship wining programs (in compliance with title ix) with a football 1st focus

markeisha "arrogant & lazy azz" everett (not a berkeley grad), cal athletics marketing: departing november 1, 2025*
kevin kennedy (berkeley grad) & the passionate calgorithim, new marekting team, 1000% upgrade!!

* university employee advised me today that everett is doing "part time" work for the next 60 days...hiring markeisha to "consult" would be kinda like shocky hiring michael vick to help with his rescue doggy dog fundraising


so what are the next steps in berkeley for athletic excellence??

FIRE the current co-athletic director ****tards jay larson & jennifer simon o'neil (neither is a berkeley grad) and replace them with andrew mcgraw (berkeley grad)

and continue to groom the gregarious haas biz ad grad mike saffell as the future head coach in waiting, we're gonna see more & more young head coaches like asu's teen spirit dilly that can relate to everybody from players & their families, to the media, to the fans & donors bases with +2 extroverted personalities (a savvy football general manager can help them assemble the right staff such as is the case with berkeley grad ron rivera)

can u spot the ******* trend here??

yeah it's gonna take berkeley grads to SAVE and win championships for our california golden bears!!

it's gonna be u & me to get this **** done & we can all support the cause by showing out LOUD at our cathedral of football memorial stadium this saturday at 3:00 pm for the historic debut of JKS in front of our new BLACK HOLE and the all world texas southern band, KABBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM baby!!!

now if shocky can only convince stubborn as **** cal men's golf head coach (and berkeley grad) michael wilson to get his underweight squad to daily count their protein grams like pga golfers (sigh)...



this post is dedicated to shocky's tigers moms (and really moms everywhere who quietly sacrifice for their children) who tole him he could do anything (if he got a good gpa) in life (other than a handstand) that he put his mind too (and the monster believed her!!)



funny moment at saturday's football game: co athletic director ****tard jay larson wuz resoundingly booed when announced by the shrill voiced stadium announcer during a check presentation to a charity

how well do the ****tards connect with the fanbase??:

jay larson twitter: 174 followers after a decade plus in the cal athletic department, https://x.com/jaylarson13
jennifer simon-o'neil twitter: 243 followers after a decade plus in the cal athletic department, https://x.com/bearsinlondon

compare that abysmal relationship building to the high energy outreach by asu's relatively new athletic director graham rossini who called me on my last b-day to let me know that when shocky is "ready to pivot to asu athletcs" he wants me to call him at his personal cell # so we can "collaborate together to grow sun devils sports"...graham knows the names of my 3 asu grad kids & is also aware that my targeting the wealthiest top 100 people in the valley of the sun (mostly thru high end country club contacts & referrals) for my wildly successful doggy dog rescue facilities fundraising in maricopa county significantly overlaps with his targeted donor pool in the grand canyon state (and that my friendships could be worth potentially hundreds of millions of dollars for the university)

do asu students get FREE football tickets??
https://eoss.asu.edu/inferno/tickets

do the ****tards have a nickname??

a highly respected university employee tole me at halftime saturday that jay & jenny's nickname within the athletic department by their co workers is "dumb and dumber"

rich, it's time to take out the final 2 pieces of trash in the athletic department & promote berkeley grad (band member & walk on football player) andrew mcgraw to athletic director!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2025 folds of honor at american dunes: 1st round update

CONGRATS to matthew "dirty" miyamoto bouncing back from a double bogey 1st hole to shoot a battling 72 (with 5 birdies, tied for 13th in the individual competition), not too bad for a guy whose greatest golfing achievement this summer wuz winning the jesuit high school father/daughter 3rd flight scramble or something

the 1st hole at american dunes is a dead straight 390 yard par 4 with utility lines & a service road way left of the faux sand dunes, this should be a safe utility wood off the teebox followed by a wedge to the center of the green for most collegiate golfers...however the skittish (it's a shame coach wilson & coach ireland don't mandate their guys get a yoga/meditation practice like schulzie so they can chill the **** out with deep breathing relaxation techniques on the 1st tee of big tournaments while also preventing back pain injuries) bad news bears got lost in the woods looking for a honey pot en route to playing the 1st hole with 2 pars, 2 double bogeys & a quadruple bogey, no es bueno ay caramba!!

trevor, the good news is that u beat charlie by 11 strokes in his 1st collegiate tournament at shocky's beloved coore & crenshaw restored maidstone in east hampton back in the day, let's build on that manana amigo!!

https://instagr.am/p/DOUWVfijDXw
anyways this is hopefully a learning experience and the sun will probably rise tomorrow in michigan and our bears will battle again like boats against the current in the struggle that must be with ur 50 year friendship teammates


but yeah cal is in a disappointing tied for 10th (outta 15 teams) at +14 after the 1st round, them bears got walked to the car today but it's important that tomorrow will not be still leaking thru the roof



life is NOT linear (and there will be trauma along the way *that u will probably survive)

Of course, the cost to upgrade is a different matter, but just throwing it out there for people's thoughts.

Just pasting my post on the insider board from several days ago on this topic. In case it helps.

Ok, let's cover the scoreboard thing again.

I hate the minitrons. I've always hated them. They were the first topic I discussed with the administration before the remodel even started and I even offered to provide an anchor gift for larger jumbotrons to Sandy. But in probably the worst decision of her tenure, once we had thoroughly beaten the Hill People to a pulp in court and they literally didn't have a legal leg to stand on, we inexplicably gave them a bunch of concessions to "make them go away" (wait, what?). These included a severe curtailment on our ability to host other revenue producing events at Memorial in the off season (Stanford just made $4.8m from hosting Cold Play for two nights in their stadium by the way) and keeping our scoreboards "in their historical format". Bleah.

This imbecilic agreement expired in January 2025. Yay! So those limitations are now gone. But our original Environmental Impact Report (EIR) under which the remodel was approved under CEQA does NOT contemplate a larger video board (the light pollution it would cause, etc.). So we would need a new EIR. As far as I know, that is not being undertaken at the moment because Cal simply doesn't have the money given all its other commitments and needs to take this on. A new video board would probably be about $5m at Cal when all was said and done. if someone walked in tomorrow with a $5m check for a videoboard, I'll bet you'd start seeing that EIR underway pronto.

These included a severe curtailment on our ability to host other revenue producing events at Memorial in the off season (Stanford just made $4.8m from hosting Cold Play for two nights in their stadium by the way) and keeping our scoreboards "in their historical format". Bleah.

This imbecilic agreement expired in January 2025. Yay! So those limitations are now gone. But our original Environmental Impact Report (EIR) under which the remodel was approved under CEQA does NOT contemplate a larger video board (the light pollution it would cause, etc.). So we would need a new EIR. As far as I know, that is not being undertaken at the moment because Cal simply doesn't have the money given all its other commitments and needs to take this on. A new video board would probably be about $5m at Cal when all was said and done. if someone walked in tomorrow with a $5m check for a videoboard, I'll bet you'd start seeing that EIR underway pronto.




Thank you for sharing this info. I didn't realize there was such a history behind this topic.

If whatever agreement that was in place has now expired, I hope the administration would see upgrading the video boards as an almost no brainer. One or two concerts would seemingly cover the cost of the upgrade, and would have the potential to generate future revenue by the millions. Not to mention making our program more competitive when fighting for recruits. I imagine things like facilities matter to them…
