However, spelling does not matter:

"Aoccdrnig to rscheearch at Cmabrigde uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteres are at the rghit pclae. The rset can be a tatol mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae we do not raed ervey lteter by it slef but the wrod as a wlohe."
However if, you misplace your, punctuation it can, look pretty fkcued up.

How soon do you think we'll get confirmation ? Also when all these recruits come and pay an official visit to Cal and posts photos of them wearing a Cal jersey and then choose to go elsewhere- do you think they keep the Cal jerseys or dispose of them or are they justed rented out for the photoshoot ?
Dumb question: Do they get to keep the jersey?





Yeah, that is what I thought.

You don't need to be insulting. I hope you aren't a parent and have any kids and that is your reply when they ask you a question.

I'd demand the Chauca jersey for my promotional photos and I'd keep it too.

Must be a hometown girlfriend involved. No sane kid passes up Princeton, Yale and Cal for staying home and going to St. Mary's.

I'm not going to criticize any high school kid who decides to go to a school other than Cal. I'm sure he has good reasons which of course apply to him, not to me.

If we fail to recruit any good players during this cycle then I will criticize our coaching staff. I think a large portion of their jobs is providing high school kids with good reasons to come to Cal.

If Shocky were here, he'd say it can't be a girlfriend, because she would WANT him to go to Cal.

aiden made a comment in social media after his visit to cal that made me think he was going to st marys

This is thge end of Mark Fox. Take it to the bank. The last time I was this disappointed was when Biden became President. Mahoney would rather play in a gym which seats two people rather than playing at Haas. I'm gone. Mahoney shows up at Ca. He dons a Cal jersey. He poses with a young msn who also is sporting a Cal jersey. His Dad also sports a Cal jersey...And, then, two minutes later, he announces for St. Marys??
That is even lamer than the Cal football program.

Was it when he said, "In Moraga, where I'm from, we don't have all those smelly hippies, thank God."?

I figured he was just kidding and, since he was so comfortable joking about it, he had actually for sure decided to come to Cal! Guess not...

I understand his aspirations to play pro basketball after college but wherever that happens it won't last forever, and I doubt having a degree from St Mary's would get him as far as a Cal degree would have.

This is horrible news. The only reason I can somehow deal with this is because Biden beat the moron.

Ah yes, you are referring to that noble prize winning, FDA approved, super drug Ivermectin!

Ironically only sheep think of referring to it as something else.

My Chico State degree got me where I needed it to. I know that it might be sacrilege here, but a lot of people here overestimate a Cal degree and underestimate other school's degrees.

On Aiden, if his goal is to play basketball ball beyond college, why would he come to play for Fox?

After college, whether it's in the NBA or not, people are going to have to be able to deal with mediocre, even sub-par individuals and overcoming that obstacle.. Playing for our guy now might prove to be a great life's experience!

In general I think a Cal degree is more valuable although everyone 's own circumstance is different Even with my own Cal degree I never used it for my jobs, although people still tell me including my current employer that
"you're very bright- you have a Cal degree" so there still is that perception around.

I agree. He should go. And then we should hire a better coach.

I never got a job specifically because my degree was from Cal but under the circumstances I (late 1960s, physics) I got much more than a degree. I got an excellent education which has served me well and which I would have gotten from almost no other other school. Then there was the eye-opening experience of living in Berkeley at that time ...

That makes sense. Each college has a unique set of opportunities that a student can take advantage of. I was one class short of transferring to Cal from Feather River College ( which was an amazingly cool JC experience, too) and I am so glad that I ended up at Chico. I would have gotten lost at Cal socially and it would have probably ended up a miserable, lonely experience. At Chico, I knew people and figured out who I was in a pretty low pressure situation.

I wouldn't say Cal was a low pressure situation but I was never miserable or even unhappy. I'm not that social but I met plenty of people from living in a dorm. A few of those became lifelong friends.
