Yeah-there's definitely no egos anywhere on this message board. I have been reasonably accurate on the vast majority of games this season. I was correct until Cal rallied in the fourth quarter something like 25-7 to tie the game. My favorite player, Naya Ojukwu, was the offensive catalyst for the great comeback. You make comments that "nobody is interested in my predictions or my game analysis", and everyone knows that is not true. You and your ego feel that way, but you make collective assertions that attempt to demean my self-worth in writing these articles. I do this for free because I enjoy doing it, but when you try to take the fun out of it, what the hell is your payoff. You make a fool out of yourself by asserting I probably never played in a basketball game. I played three sports throughout high school and four years in intramurals at UCSB and one year of graduate school at SJS. I never missed a season. Sports was the love of my young life.

For the final time, check my posts, I have always commended you for your pre game analysis of the other team. For some reason you don't want to acknowledge that.

Secondly, with all due respect, some people might find the highlighted statement above a little bizarre. Wouldn't it be easier to simply say you were wrong on your blowout prediction in this game and leave it at that? Its okay to miss one once in a while, we all do.

Redless, I've liked a lot of your posts, but now I'm reluctantly muting you. (I muted Schroeder71 years ago, and Shocky around 2024.) It's a ridiculous waste of time to fight/engage with strangers on social media. I want to discuss Cal WBB, not why someone's right and someone else is wrong.

Sorry to hear that I have been muted. I come to this board to discuss Cal WBB as well. I honestly don't care about right or wrong. Unfortunately one poster on this board has aggravated me beyond a boiling point, and I should have been wiser and used the mute factor like others. I will make a concerted effort moving forward to focus on basketball talk and control my emotions.

I have always been a passionate sports fans and I have written from my heart since I joined this website in 1998. I will turn 77 in March, and I am not going to change my philosophy or the way that I perceive the world. I retire from writing these analyses of Cal women's basketball. The job is open to any of you that would like an opportunity to try this endeavor. GO BEARS & God Bless!

You are a month ahead of me but I don't think I'm going to change much either.
