^ yeah ur dropping outta berkeley after 3 years wuz probably not good timing, how's that decision worked out for u?

yet u criticize a 4.0 gpa offensive lineman that u have never seen play with multiple sec & big 10 offers that has committed to cal

maybe u should focus more on ur own dumb decisions/timing & not true student athletes on their announcement day
actually dropping out for a year was a very good thing for me, you don't know me and should not make assumptions, I found an occupation that year that led to me doing very well both career wise and financially

I never criticized the guy, I said I was not excited by the announcement, some of you guys are just too thin skinned ..

MSU had a terrible offense and to be excited by a transfer that was a reserve? I would not have been excited had he been a started, their offensive production was that poor
it didn't occur to you that this kid might have been caught in a univ/ath dept that was in shambles? And, your damning with faint praise doesn't get you off the hook. If you want to complain about Cal fb, complain about the coaches, ad, chancellor, even, but leave the kids, about whom you know nothing, alone.
wow, so you know everything.. I did state only facts about the young man .. he was a reserve on a lousy offensive team .. that is all I stated .. he is, I assume, getting paid to play so fair game? seems to me now that players are being paid and have little or no loyalty to a school, it is hard for me to feel bad if I might have hurt his feelings ..

part of the reason I was unexcited was due to my lack of faith in Wilcox, the OL we brought in in prior years often did not help as much as hoped

anyway, think what you will, I very likely have bled blue and gold longer than you have been alive?


I don't have a problem with your opinion because, well it's just an opinion and has no bearing on what becomes the truth.
But for me, I'm more likely to be excited about a back up from a Big 10 school vs. someone from one of the smaller programs...
