Sup cool people

Ranting into the abyss - ST/kicking has been unacceptable. Get a dedicated coach or replace langwell. Every kicker he’s brought it just misses. - S&C needs to be looked and FIXED - hard not to take this game as a glorified scrimmage. Playing QB4, yoi cant expect much

Okay okay

Okay okay

Hope the rumors aren’t true… that’s going to suck big

Fuck

Seeing schools like Indiana, ASU, etc etc just win kills me. We are so far behind in every sense. Just to give an example: AD, HC, CMO all absent on social media on a year where Cal is finally making a buzz. Too busy? Meanwhile our own chancellor is tweeting his mind out..

Need an OC announcement ASAP

No OC buzz, no OC list. Getting worried haha.

Can JW revamp his staff and have a very successful portal and as a result have a successful season? Yes.

It might be chalked fuck

The hires and changes will single-handedly tell if this is JW last year or not. compelling case that you can give an OC a talented roster. but they know his track record, know the risk.

I said if we lost JKS I would go rogue on twitter. We gotta move on from JW asap.

Hard to be optimistic ngl

JW going rogue, fuck yeah

My Cal Roadmap 1/N 1) Secure JKS + hope for some flips 2) Replace AD in next couple months + hire a GM both of whom would set the expectations for the HC moving forward 3) Replace the S&C staff 4a) If Bloesch is to stay, hire a an OL coach.

So many questionable decisions year after year man. Idk who gets attributed for them but it’s exhausting.

Change change change change change change change change Only way forward

ASU, Indiana, GT.. When is it our turn man

My suspicions confirmed so far….

If this goes south, just play new guys and prep for 2025

I’ve tried not to think about it because it annoys me but has this season not been filled with a lot of cultural victories, I’d be having a hard time being excited for next year. You see teams like GT just having crazy turnarounds etc etc. Hope we got next..

Will tmrw be telling? Will Bloesch coach to keep his job? Will Bloesch try something different? Will helping without the pressure help? Will we see the same deflated Cal start? Don’t care about the result, but curious how staff takes this game.

Confident about SMU. Cal has nothing to lose. No worry about losing anything. Just need to enjoy their time out there. That’s dangerous.

Secure JKS and there’s already 2 4* you can flip !!

As been said by others, this Cal momentum cannot be futile. CANNOT have the same story on year 9. I get that it’s not easy but it needs to happen. Just make it happen JW.

Kinda don’t care what happens in the next 2 games. More interesting in how the 25 class and December portal will shape up. Next year, I’m not going to buy into the hype that has sucked me in these past 2 seasons. Gotta let it play out.

Regarding portal. It seems that in the trenches you absolutely need P4 talent and bodies. For one reason or another, FCS talent has not worked well. We absolutely need to get the top hogs there to supplement some interesting pieces in place.

I get that portal has been good for Cal. But also believe prep recruiting still very important. Landing JKS is program changing. Even purely from an optics perspective, it’s the type of commit that causes flips. We saw that a lot under Dykes. 1 4* commits and then a couple follow.

3/N Now, with December and portal around the corner, if there are any significant changes to the staff this is something that should be in the works behind the scenes right? At least if you believe the next 2 aren’t meaningful; I think this area warrants the focus / “distraction”

2/N You could argue bowl wins are meaningless now but beating SMU And your bowl game is not an easy feat. Losing to SMU and winning your bowl doesn’t really do anything, I think.

More thoughts 1/N curious how the staff approaches the next to games. Do you say these next 2 games do not materially change the outlook of the season or recruiting and take the next couple weeks as development for 2025? I’m a big believer in momentum and that’s what winning the next 2 would do.

Lastly, yesterday could have gone sideways. And post game reactions and consequences would have not been pretty. We simply can’t ride the motional rollercoaster and continue falling short.

-5 games by 17 points - Back to Back Bowl - Program in the up with new conference and good NIL program - injuries hurt the team But YOU are the difference maker in helping us win those 5 close games.

S&C needs change. To me it’s a building block for the foundation. Too many injuries in recent years that seems off to attribute to bad luck

On defense, we lose a lot more. Similar to the previous portal needs: DL, EDGE, ILB. secondary is talented.

The sales pitch for December portal is easy and wouldn’t surprise if it was the best one yet. On offense you have everything in place but OL. Get that and you have a complete offense. Would imagine staff goes after a TE and RB. Secure JKS and DO NOT bring a portal QB.

True that things had to go our way to win this. But we’ve been in the other end of that MANY times this year. Next couple of weeks worry me. Portal opens and closes in Dec month. Will JW make staff changes? If so, how will he balance that with the portal.

step 0: win the axe and go bowling
