https://instagr.am/p/DbTUmMkqGHY high school girl's flag football is arguably the fastest growing sport in arizona (the top players regularly get front page sports section coverage), a nfl organization client of mine tells me that the sport is getting "significant" low key support from the league in their relentless targeted marketing efforts to long term grow the fanbase with females
FIRE the non innovative jay & jenny (they are degrading the bears hoops programs)!!#
brayton, did u know that ima currently unfairly evaluated by modern yoga as a substitute teacher17 (syt17) because i don't got any visible tattoos or a triggering ponytail, can u believe that ****??
anyways as someone who watched every second of cal football in person last season i can tell u with 100% certainty that u would be a DAY 1 starting linebacker for them bears!!...that may nor may not be the case at football factories likes oregon, michigan, ohio state, etc. that are 3/4 stacked at every position & that got the cash to buy the best transfer portal talent after every season which is disruptive to the depth chart
cal's defensive coordinator michael hutchings coached in the NFL & coach lup wuz the defensive line coach for them cleveland browns, do u wanna be developed by them 24/7/365??
feister, ur a smart guy with a 3.55 gpa, ur gonna figure this **** out, enjoy this weekend's official visit in cali!!
-shocky
p.s. if u could do me a solid & put in a good word for me at modern yoga that would be appreciated
https://instagr.am/p/Db3ulsImo7z brayton, in case u haven't figured it out yet re: ur collegiate decision announcement this friday, oregon is a piece of **** academic skool for low gpa dumb azzs located in a ****hole truck stop town with rainy azz non cali weather that exploits/replaces its disposable gladiators quickly when the football factory can find a better part
do urself a solid & ask the ducks staff to give u a career update list of all their former linebackers that turned 30 years of age in the last couple of years, yeah a lotta guys working nite shift security at the mall for 20 bucks an hour long after the nil dollars are gone/spent
don't be a dumb azz (START in berkeley from day 1 at inside backer which is critical for NFL development & EARN a life changing generational wealth building berkeley degree)!!
the shockster is rooting for all them cali bears to achieve their goals/dreams in life but not gonna lie to u he might be cheering a little louder for tennessee transfer (sec all academic honors) current outside linebacker2 (olb2) 6'5" 240 +1 athletic emmanuel okoye who has beaten the odds every ******* single time!!
emmanuel okoye=unforgettable=future berkeley grad (that will be a SPECIAL day!!)

NFL Academy alum Emmanuel Okoye is 9th in the College Football Freaks List 2026.
The list of 101 athletes features the very best athletes in college football.
^ the us amateur is a straight up ******* boxing match with brutal violent punches thrown every minute, only the mentally toughest will remain standing at this bloodfest...the ghosts of yesterday such as colt knost & nathaniel crosby (a wonderful neighbor of mine in flagstaff many summers ago) still quietly walk the grounds of the olympic club lake course remembering those historic us amateurs on a fog shrouded battleground that tested the mental resolve of its combatants
sihao cong (3 under par thru 15 holes until play suspended for darkness, tied for 5th): after getting his nose bloodied early in the round with a bogey 6 on the scorerable par 5 2nd hole, the cong show battled with clutch birdies on the 4th, 10th, 11th & 13th holes at one of the true cathedrals of golf merion golf club on the main line in philly!!
sihao, ur secret sauce (other than the best hair on the team) is ur POSITIVE ATTITUDE!!
u tole me before ur tee time at the tuscon intercollegiate that u didn't get accepted by haas biz school admissions but no worries we talked about ur majoring in econ while still planning to take as many b-school undergrad classes as possible...u had a smile on ur face as we discussed ur academic plans!!
u tole me u had trouble in the most recent qualifying when before a round at the o-club that u took a triple bogey on the par 3 golden gate park course after hitting a tee ball into massive footprint buried lie in an unraked bunker...we both laughed about that ****, that's golf sometimes!!
u tole me between rounds that multiple putts just lipped the edges, we both agreed that if u keep rolling the ball the same way like michael kim that the birdie putts would eventually start dropping...and that's exactly what happened in ur next round later that day!!
brah, there's ZERO pressure, just keep breathing & smiling and remember that sometimes the UNDERDOG in life comes out on top!!
trevor cox (73, tied for 144th): trevor, ur ahead of around half this ELITE field after ur opening round at venerable philadelphia country club which isn't bad for someone who the monster questioned why coach wilson evah offered u a cal golf scholly after an unremarkable high school career which wuz punctuated by ur winning the mickelson national mother/daughter tournament with moms, let's bring the LEGOLAND MAGIC mañana (remember to enjoy/celebrate these special moments on the game's largest stage, this is why u play the game)!!
ziqin zhou (75, tied for 215th): Z, yeah u took some brutal body blows late in ur round at philly cc with 2 consecutive double bogies but ur gonna live to fight another battle tomorrow brah!!
philadelphia is NOT the city of brotherly love (u gotta be ready for a fight, just ask my yoga buddy jaylen brown)#
https://instagr.am/p/DTnfZQaDC0o UPDATE: got no idea what sihao cong ate for breakfast this morning (hopefully didn't get the 30 day old california roll & a hostess hoho at sheetz washed down with a room temperature 32 oz mountain dew) but he made 3 pars on the brutal/spectacular rock quarry closing holes at merion to shoot a 67 in the opening round & is tied for 5th place (the top 64 players after 36 holes qualifying will advance to match play) and is now taking the 7 mile drive to philadelphia country club for his 9:31 am 2nd round tee time
sihao, no need to stress about this ****, golf is just a ******* game brah
2026 us amateur (as conducted by the united states golf association): 2nd round update
https://instagr.am/p/DXM9fSljDmN ^ this reminds me of how the shockster once on a spur of the moment (with no advance prep work/planning) commandeered the closing speech after savansana at modern yoga & this **** did NOT go over well with the class (which is probably one of the many reasons the monster is unfairly evaluated as a syt17), teacher/princess courtney quickly (and understandably) distanced herself from my rambling incoherent (something to do with t-rex arms or something, shocky's closing words re: "on 10 paws we stood tall" drew absolutely blank looks from his scottsdale white classmates) ****show!!
sihao cong (75, tied for 54th): despite taking some body blows at philly cc in a room marked "pirate" with 2 closing bogeys for his round, sihao is battling like a fearless rocky balboa & is gonna be in a 17 player (that # could change as a couple of players finish their rounds) playoff for 11 spots on the iconic par 3 13th hole at 8:30 am at merion (the tee box is very close to the clubhouse), let's ******* go congshow (let's dial in the hole yardage in the early morning warm up sesh)!!
sihao scored a birdie 2 on the tiny 116 yard par 3 13th hole in the 1st round (schulzy is holding his finish on his swing after lasering a morikawa-lite wedge to a couple feet for a kick in bird on this hole to the applause of no-one in the 5th foto in the below gram)!! https://instagr.am/p/CvVQHgWJzM3 trevor cox (75, missed cut): among trevor's 3 birdies at merion wuz a birdie 2 on the par 3 13th hole!!
ziqin zhou (75, missed cut): Z also scored a birdie 2 on the par 3 13th hole, positive vibes/energy for our cali bears, the 13th at merion is bear territory!!
proud of all our berkeley bears courageously battling on one of the game's largest stages at a cathedral of golf!!
cal is a golf school (that got an above average lefty qb1 that telegraphs pre snap his audibles!!)#
2026 cali bears football biggest CONCERNS heading into fall ball on august 5th:
4) kicking game: punter angus davies is gonna be the solution to solving the erratic/inconsistent play at this position but it remains to be seen if kickers chase meyer or towns mcough are gonna be ready to star on broadway in a potentially EPIC season in berkeley
dwm, ha ha, probably not at the same **** u up alpha predator level of the greatest wideout BLOCKER in the history of california golden bears football inner new york city hoops legend/nfl wr for the new york giants & new england patriots/convicted & imprisoned con artist/reformed pastor nyan boateng!!
there wuz ******* blood on the field when nyan would deliver the unreal crackback knock out blocks on PITCHOUTS that would spring javid best for 60+ yard epic touchdowns at memorial stadium
honestly it's been absolute bull**** to watch the bears sorry azz wrs pretend to block during the candy azz soft wilcox era, fully expect ike & his team to get this **** turned around this fall
Ike Hilliard with an awesome answer on blocking courtesy of @EJManuel3 praise on ACC Huddle

is the worst BLOCKING wideout room in college football finally gonna ******* BLOCK somebody this season??
it's not a surprise to the monster that despite several NFL qbs that ZERO cali bears NON BLOCKING wrs have heard their names called at the NFL draft during the last decade
talk is cheap ike (burl & kyle used to say the same **** too)# ^ "no block, no rock" blah blah blah

Cal has signed popular New Mexico tight end transfer Dorian Thomas, @chris_hummer and I have learned.

Cal has 3 golfers playing in the FedEx Cup playoffs starting tomorrow in Memphis. Will be super interesting to see how they play. Michael Kim has been playing great; Collin has been steady, but not spectacular, maybe because he's a new papa; Max has been all over the place. Hoping they all play great and advance to the BMW next week, and to the finals at East Lake. I know Shocky isn't a huge fan of the East Lake track, but I like it pretty well and more important, I love how the gentleman who purchased and revitalized East Lake triggered a revitalization of the entire neighborhood in the ATL. I'm curious to know what courses the PGA is thinking of using rather than the final three being used this year. I can't wait for the final because that will dovetail pretty nicely with the start of college footballl!
https://instagr.am/p/C_VZe7_uFzk hey andy, 100% agreed that benevolent businessman tom cousins remarkable vision/work in the wildly successful economic redevelopment of a then unsafe atlanta neighborhood with an unreal murder rate via a golf club that created economic prosperity/employment opportunities & triggered other uplifting housing is one of the game's greatest urban revitalization stories!!
after the most recent restoration project by the talented architect andrew green of the original donald ross design east lake is a classical course with good bones but lacks any real strategic decision making other than the awkward severely sloping par 5 18th hole which is a nightmare for the members with the 2nd shot played over a lake from a downhill stance (the pga pros are not fond of the hole either)
bellerive's reputation wuz built back in the day when golf course rankings valued tough "championship" torture tracks, today's minimalist movement of which coore & crenshaw are at the forefront values FUN multiple options (including the ground game) architecture
and yeah the memphis fed ex corporate center course is just really ******* awful
it's gonna be steamy in memphis, max homa (other than phenom jackson koivun) got literally the best tee times (playing early is a huge advantage) of anybody in the field & as #52 in the fed ex standings in a strong position (top 50 get invitations to the bmw) to advance to the following week's tournament
like you would love to to see all august 3 pga playoff tournaments contested (anywhere cooler than the deep south) before our cali bears fall football seasons at the cathedrals of golf like pine valley & cypress point!!
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 two 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#
UPDATE: the potential next prez of the united states of america lives (commutes to sacramento) with his family just minutes from my alma mater stinson beach high school & loves the uc system's flagship university's football program!!
and yeah to gavin's credit he's never ******* punched the shockster like donald!!
^ real talk: aoc dumped this loser because she wants to hook up not with oski but with the monster (and sit on his lap at his 50 yard line aisle tree fort on fall gamedays at memorial stadium which honestly would be kinda annoying for me in tryna watch the action on the field too) but he tole her that's not gonna happen unless she agrees to fully fund the police, elevate her ponytail game & help FIRE the worthless bureaucratic ****tards jay & jenny!!

despite the upcoming bankruptcy announcements, the morally & financially bankrupt liv exhibition league is still selling tixs to the team "championship" later this month in michigan despite the fact that virtually everybody knows it gonna be cancelled (with realistically no refunds)
if u tole me that the liv tix sales are being handled by the same worthless non berkeley grads bureaucratic ****tards jay & jenny (with their anti football & men's hoops agendas) that are NOT selling any cal men's & women's basketball tixs (despite 20+ wins for both programs last season) to haas pavilion then i would believe in u...this is what happens when a well intended but feckless chancellor just looks the other way because he don't wanna deal with these 2 unlikeable nightmare employees right now
Despite it being reported weeks ago that LIV Golf Michigan will be cancelled and vendors, contractors, the venue, staff and players all being aware, LIV Golf has still not officially cancelled the event. They’re still even selling tickets to fans. Why is that?
One of the most consistent voices we hear at practice is Cal DB Coach Von Brown

^ why the **** r cal's monster offensive linemen tyson ruffins, frederick williams iii, jacob arop & jimothy lewis working as back up dancers, r they even gonna be at the uc championship game on saturday september 5th at 7:30 pm??
