Pretty crazy stuff....<br /><br />Post from a Cal fan at the-mainboard:<br /><br /><blockquote><div class="name-said">Quote:</div><hr>If you heard what he did...didn't give Cal an opportunity to match the offer just cleared his desk and left. Cal apparently matched one UW offer last week. didn't tell any of the other cal coaches either.<hr></blockquote><br /><br />Also didn't tell anything to players supposedly. From Gabe King's twitter:<br /><br /><blockquote><div class="name-said">Quote:</div><hr>@TheReal_McCoy91 Yea he bounced, no call no text, no subtle insinuation... Nothing. But I understand the business game, so I wish him luck.<hr></blockquote><br /><br /><br />Lupoi told Shaq that he hasn't decided yet last night, so he just woke up, decided to go to UW???

This is going to turn out to be the biggest mistake of his life...

That shows you that this wasn't Sandy and Tedford's fault it was Tosh saying F U and going to the sh!tty weather of seattle where he will listen to grunge, drink coffee and be cold all day.

Sounds straight from some drama/movie... Sark blackmailing Tosh? Kidding aside, it looks like Tosh didn't have the confidence to tell everyone or anyone (feeling guilty?).<br />This won't bode well once the news gets out.

Wow. Way to go Tosh.<br /><br />We need a new icon: "In Tosh We Trust" with a big fucking knife stuck in its back.

Hard to say, we don't have a lot of facts to judge on right now.

NO.Effing.Way.<br /><br /><br />Just....No.

If I were a recruit, I would never put any credence to anything Tosh Lupoi would say. What a slimeball! Hey, maybe we can woo Orgeron!

Polly and Anna. They said that UW jumped the gun, Tosh only agreed to take the offer if Cal won't match it. Cal will match, UW will look terrible, and Tosh gets a new title/$ staying in the sunny Bay Area.

I just want to know what the hell happened since last night when Tosh still was undecided, apparently.

For all we know, Tedford is innocent and left the Defense alone to Clancy....and, on that side of the ball, Tosh butted heads with Clancy in private. <br /><br />I don't know, but it's about as credible as any other rumor and innuendo making the rounds.

<blockquote><div class="name-said">OldBlue1999;678586 said:</div><hr>This is going to turn out to be the biggest mistake of his life...<hr></blockquote><br /><br />$20 million dollar mistake. Cal pays Tedford almost $3 million a year! Lupoi would have been HC at Cal before he was 40 if he had kept the cards he was dealt. Instead he folded. Ok, whatever. Bye.

Great recruiter, how can any kid believe what this guy says. Commitment,honor,being responsible for ones own actions. Tosh Lupoi hypocrite.

Don't mess with our feelings! Hah, if this is even a 1% possibility, my day just got 50x better. <blockquote><div class="name-said">jabes;678609 said:</div><hr>I called my best friends.

<blockquote><div class="name-said">calgymnast;678629 said:</div><hr>Don't mess with our feelings! Hah, if this is even a 1% possibility, my day just got 50x better.<hr></blockquote><br /><br />Doubt it. Look at his facebook page. It has a UW logo as of 1 hour ago.

He will never be able to come back home and have it be the same again, even though I doubt he's even realized that yet.<br /><br />If this class falls apart, he will go down in Cal lore. He might already. If there's one thing Cal fans DON'T do, it's forget. He has thrown away everything he's built up to this point in his life to try to build it again from scratch.

Yep....i think this might hurt him more than us. Look....he didn't recruit Tyson or Cam, and I think it might actually be a stretch to say he is why they flourished. He just threw away his best chance at being a HC and totally went against his main recruiting pitch. <br />I for one won't blame Tedford, Sandy or Coach Thompson or anyone else. Sounds like he made a money grab and maybe we all gabe him a little too much credit. He sat there and gave all of us his recruiting pitch at the hotel two years ago and we all bought in. the anger were feeling now is nothing to what the players and recruits are feeling.<br /><br />Payback is a bitch, coach lup. ill be the loudest person in the stadium when we play the huskies next year

F*ck. I'm actually crying. Its just so hard to believe he ran out of town like a coward? <br /><br />Is this real life?

Twitter is exploding (will kinda) and it's guys like Avery that are holding the bond together. The players are doing their part and now the coaches need to step up.

I just can't fathom how staff can do this to the players that they developed connections with. It happened to me with my head coach - right after I signed he left to go coach in the MUTHA-F'in World League! No call. No letter. Haha! I sound like a scorned lover. <br /><br />SOBs! Leaving quickly, quietly, and coldly is what will tarnish my opinion of Lupoi.

Amazing how he supposedly didn't tell anyone associated with Cal Program (players & coaches) yet he called Shaq and other Cal recruits/commits this morning, asking them to come visit UW.<br /><br />What a coward.<br /><br />I may have to fly to SF and attend the game on 11/2/2012.

Shades of Todd Graham shafting the kids at Pitt for ASU.

if this is the worst that happens to you in real life or even as a Cal fan, congrats...

BUT Chancellor Bergenou insisted that Tosh be disciplined and publically called on the carpet.

This guy has no credibility from here on out.

Something about this seems shady...

It takes years to build credibility and a moment to destroy it. The thing is if UW wins, everyones memory will be real short. Cal fans excluded of course. We will remember forever.
