How often do players come back to their original school. Think about it... He is gone and hopefully we can get a JC guy in there to compete.

Oh ye of little faith.

Pretty horrible thing to say about a former Cal player. Not unexpected coming from you, but horrible nonetheless.

Pretty horrible numbers. He'll find some D1 team that will take him, maybe.

According to his bio, he played safety at some point. http://www.calbears.com/ViewArticle.dbml?ATCLID=207769883

Poor Kline. Unseasoned OL a year ago for us, and now again this year at JC. I want to see Kline and Goff competing at the next level. I have a lot of respect for how he handled a difficult situation on a 1 win team last year. Very classy guy.

Wasn't an internet then but people said some not too nice things about Ferragamo when he deserted Cal because he was afraid to compete with Bartkowski. Vince fled to Nebraska and did zip. Bartkowski did pretty damn good.
Former Cal players who leave the team are former players who left the team ... that they were here for a while means nothing to me.
Maybe you might want to show some love for Shaq who's a former Cal recruit, huh, maybe.

well, we must've set some record asking about Clay and Carter coming back. i'm sure Drew is no different.

Wait, we don't have a shot with clay anymore? Dude, way to harsh my mellow.

At Oregon, that only would have warranted a few extra windsprints. "We smoked it all"

Yeah, i understand that at UO you are benched if you are actually sent to jail for some crime; and in that case only to the extent you are in jail. If you are given parole time or time off on weekends you can play on those weekends.
I think you are kicked off the team only if you are executed.

Well, maybe at Nebraska Vince didn't do very much. He did lead the Rams to their first ever Super Bowl berth in 1980, though.

Oh, and while at Cal, Ferragamo threw the pass that beat Stanf*rd in the 1972 Big Game.

Kline strikes me as a truly classy guy and a truly terrible college quarterback.



Fortunately, you can be a classy guy your whole life. You can only be a college QB for a few years. They are not mutually exclusive. But if you have only been blessed to be one or the other, then it is much better to have class. He will be fine. I just hope he gets a degree from a good school.

Yeah, he had a pretty good pro career. Hope the same for Kline.

I would have bet so much he would have progressed into a stud QB. He may still, but I would have figured by now he would have. He was so good out of HS. Just shows you never know who will develop and who won't. I wish him the best. He was a good Cal bear when he was here.

Esptia is playing on sat

Dykes says he's playing ST for sure. Athletic Dept. decision to reduce suspension.

I'll give you credit, at least you leave people no doubt as to how you think. I bear no ill will toward Shaq. He's a great player who decided he wanted to play somewhere else. I have no reason to slight him and hope he stays healthy and has great games against everyone but us.

Espitia's back on the team according to Dykes. of course, why he was suspended in the first place isn't revealed.

luckily we're not a big time program yet, so nobody asks, "why is Espitia's 1-year suspension suddenly being cut short when Cal experiences big defensive depth issues?" but then again, if we WERE a big-time program a la SEC, then we wouldn't care what people would think anyway.

either way, we could use all the help we can get.

That question was asked

I could see your point if he was a DB. Seems like Cal is doing alright with LB depth, no?

Hes also a linebacker and will play ST.

LB is the area of least concern as well ad ST depth

I agree if he was a safety it would be a lot more suspect

Was his suspension formally stated as for one year or is that an assumption?

Moraga, can you clarify?

Formally stated as 1 year with conditions which he passed and exceeded expectations. It was not a legal issue and was handled internally by the athletic department

Thats all you are going to get about it

Most other fans would be happy for the team and him. Our fans assume a conspiracy.

Beas going all FF!

you're right. arguably the least worrisome unit on defense, depth-wise. i think what i meant to say is that people will wonder about the timing of his reinstatement right when our defense takes a downturn after a strong 2.5 game start.

btw, espitia was one of the better pass rushers we had. glad someone who was 1st/2nd LB--before he suspended--will be back in the rotation.

lmao i am happy for him. i mean, probably was just some weed, right? they did say it wasn't anything legal related.

Yea, one yr for weed seems too much.

but seriously, know where you get your grass and that it isn't laced with other...unwanted substances.

also, know when drug tests are if you're going to be a D1/pro fb player

not if you pick the right strain

sounds like the injury news is pretty good. Espitia, Powe, Sebastian all back, McClure gametime decision.
