I'm getting the momentary drift that the Bears are starting to think they can take it to these b@st@rds.
I also give stock tips. At least when I posted it we were down a handful.. and then we took the lead…and then my comment gyroscoped back to the "I don't know what I'm f'ing talking about" zone.
*I met Kyle Smith when he first hit Moraga and was extremely impressed with him. I wanted him after the Reign of Monty but he was not a popular choice here, Cuonzo was. Kyle has been on a mostly upward arc ever since and Cuonzo? We'll, he has left a trail of broken hearts and large bank deposits and has U turned back to Missouri State
Kyle is a long time friend of my brother's from San Diego hoop pickup games when Kyle and Bennett were at USD. They all stay in touch on a group chat. As a Columbia grad alum I was extremely impressed with his turnaround there and huge fan of analytics since Bill James Baseball Abstract when I was at Cal in the 80s, I have been the biggest booster for Cal hiring Kyle on this board.
I don't remember you advocating for Kyle when Monty retired, the debate was really over Travis, maybe Randy Bennett. Cuonzo coming to Cal days off a Sweet 16 at Tennessee was not even contemplated. The big one was when Wyking was fired. I was really pushing for Kyle and when Knowlton hired Fox so many people argued Fox was better it was crazy. Then when it was obvious Kyle was better, defended Knowlton and Fox arguing WSU was Kyle's "dream job" even though I know he loved: San Diego, Moraga and Berkeley, New York City and San Francisco.
Then when we fired Fox and the Pac-12 imploded I said we should go after Kyle, people continued to lie saying "Kyle's wife hates the Bay Area" or he will take a "bigger" job. Then he took the Stanford job. I'm happy enough with Madsen, but the amount of disinformation spread on this board in support of Knowlton's incompetence was disgusting.
