@goldenbearwire I agree

@dbynder Ames and him are very similar players, can’t see both of them working on the floor at once. Wilkinson is a tough player to win with. Doesn’t play defense, isn’t a PG, etc.

For context, Cal pays Mark Madsen approximately $2.5 million/year. USU never had a shot.

@GoodmanHoops @CAL_SPORTS_ @TheFieldOf68 So first Fernando Mendoza leaves Cal and leads Indiana to the national championship. Then Stojakovic leaves and leads Illinois to the final four. California. Where champions are made

@WCCSG_ UC Davis!!!!

If you had to pick 1 school to cheer for in the new Mountain West who would you pick?

@DanielJPoulter Possibly. It’s a tought lesson to learn. I’m sure he made good money but most likely missed out on a much larger NFL contract. These college kids need to learn that the grass is not always greener.

@dbynder I think he will go undrafted or seventh round. But could be an interesting project for a team.

@Super70sSports @hwinkler4real any memories from filming this?

@LATimesklein Do the players have reps to give them advice on pr? Where’s the Rams publicity team?

@stuholden The ticket prices are outrageous

If that works for you — and trust me, I know everyone’s budgets are different— but thats the beauty in having options… here is a link to check it out: fifaworldcup26.hospitality.fifa.com/us/en?utm_sour…

You get the best of it all. Yes, a guaranteed ticket (good seat). Plus food & drink (not dogs and fries —really good local menus); access to hospitality areas and food & drink long before and after the match; quick entry into the stadium; and entertainment and gifts.

@avinashkunnath Let’s face it. These kids barely go to class. You never hear of players being academically ineligible. Class is currently going and JKS is in HI.

Salute to Fernando Mendoza, a proud graduate of UC Berkeley and a California Golden Bear. An incredible season requiring a tough decision that should soon be capped with the ultimate reward.

@GhostofGarbers Does anyone know if any current coaches attended the press event today?

The amount of damage that Tosh can do with the Hogfathers may break college football. I am JUICED.

@GhostofGarbers As do these announcers

The most obvious hold on Cade Uluave on that long TD run. Basically hugging him. Should’ve been called back. These refs stink!

@CFBTalkDaily Look at UCLA and see how well it went with DeShawn Foster. Jackson is not ready

Cal should hire Desean Jackson Take a swing , Jackson a former Cal great Currently leading Delaware State to a turnaround season with 8 wins He is the man to change Cal football

@JML_ACC If they had a decent FG kicker last year, he wouldn’t be on the hot seat. now he needs to keep JKS and find some WR’s.

Every time you think Justin Wilcox is on the hot seat…

@JML_ACC Go Bears!!!!!

We’ve got two games in the 2 minute warning. Here we go.

@AdmiralBear01 I get that it’s not his fault with WR dropping passes. Regardless, they need to figure out a way to keep JKS and get him some help. It won’t matter who is coaching if they can’t get that done.

@dbynder Like him a lot as an OC, but not all great coordinators translate into great HCs

As I've said before, my opinion on Justin Wilcox means nothing. But if you really want it, here it is. The truth is, I was against hiring Justin Wilcox from the start. There were other candidates at the time I strongly preferred. Wilcox outperformed my initial (albeit fairly low) expectations by quite a bit. I certainly didn't expect him to last 9+ years, and he has won here more than I thought he would. But, what I really did not expect when Justin Wilcox was hired as Cal's head coach was that I'd come to develop great respect and appreciation for who he'd become as a leader and a front facing representative of the University of California. Working under the tragically inadequate "leadership" of Jim Knowlton, Wilcox cobbled together the best coordinators, assistants, and other staff he could with limited resources. He handled unique and often ridiculous administrative obstacles and challenges without complaint, showed up every day, and fought his ass off for California. He consistently took heat for problems beyond his control. He put up with far more than most in his position would under the abysmal Knowlton regime, and he believed in us, and in this institution, even when we didn't believe in ourselves. In sharp contrast to his immediate predecessor, you never heard a word about Wilcox doing anything to embarrass the University off the field, nor would he tolerate such conduct in his program. He developed some good football players, but he was even more adept at developing great young men. He made sure they graduated, and went on to be good people. He also earned a reputation for sending defensive backs to the NFL, and many of them are stars at the next level now. Despite the often frustrating product on the field, Wilcox remained well-respected in the college coaching world, and for good reason. People in the know understood the hindrances to success Wilcox has faced here. He had other opportunities, but stayed loyal to Cal because he believed in the potential of our football program and was singularly focused on meeting that potential, and to this day that remains his focus. Now that Cal's leadership at the top has changed dramatically for the better, with Rich Lyons' commitment to football excellence and Ron Rivera's clear vision for making that happen, there's a tremendous opportunity for Cal's head football coach to enjoy high level success. But, this has not been the situation Wilcox worked under through most of his tenure at Cal. The support he has received this year has been dramatically different, as Wilcox himself has repeatedly acknowledged (while being careful not to disparage the prior leadership, no matter how well deserved that may have been). Would Wilcox have generated the high level results he worked tirelessly to achieve for years if he had this kind of administrative support from the start? Unfortunately, we will never know. But, we cannot make decisions about our future based on hypotheticals about our past. For Cal football (and the entire Athletic Department) to thrive at a level befitting our University, we have to look forward, not backward. Looking at the present, it doesn't take a genius to see the diminished attendance at games and seemingly annual lull in enthusiasm for the team. Those things speak for themselves, and they signify the need for a change in course, most likely soon. I strongly suspect Wilcox will find success elsewhere, and I'm even more confident Cal will find success under someone else's leadership; not because Wilcox wasn't capable, but because the next guy will have advantages here that Wilcox didn't have, and without the baggage he now carries. Having said all of that - I have tremendous faith in Rich Lyons and Ron Rivera to direct this program, and I'm not interested in "demanding" anything from either of them at this point. I'll support and respect whatever decision they make, at whatever time they think is right. Better days lie ahead. Go Bears. 🫡💙💛

@goldenbearwire @PeteThamel Probably, he’s not a great OC either

@PeteThamel Auburn faithful are still claiming this is Harsins fault! Freeze just needs more time.

Sources: Auburn has fired coach Hugh Freeze. He’s gone 6-16 in the SEC over his three seasons and 15-19 overall. After losing to Kentucky last night to fall to 4-5, Auburn is in danger of having a losing record for third-straight year.
