I'll start putting anything relevant in here.

I know that this topic is played out, but it still blows my mind that Justin Wilcox literally flushed his head coaching career by pinning it all on a retired NFL OC, after three seasons of great defense and poor offense. AND after two seasons of it clearly not working, he doubled down! Last offseason would have been the perfect time to move on from Musgrave and bring in a new OC alongside a new qb and all the skill talent we had coming up.

By now Wilcox’s problems go beyond the OC, but a good hire in 2020 and this all could have gone very differently. it’s just kind of sad.

I'll be dialed in from the press box in the Coliseum. Getting out there early to be in place for tip off (or close to it).

Please Lord make it so. We are the most pathetic team in college football.

Jesse's matchup breakdown;


Jesse has a conflict today, so your's truly will be covering the game in full, as USC played last night and I am unencumbered on a Saturday. Looking forward to conversing in the game thread!

Here are our weekly winners to this point!

DM me your email and I'll send the $25 Amazon gift card electronically this weekend. We've had one more EXACT winner ($50 Amazon card). All winners also get two free months tacked onto their subscriptions, which I'll also process this weekend.

I just have to tally the complete season averages (and I skipped one week in the middle of the season I have to get all the Wazzu scores input). USC has a Friday night game so I've been in a time crunch since getting back from the wedding in South Carolina on Tuesday morning, but that's all that's left to do to bring us up to date. And the winners can get paid immediately!

That said, get those picks in Cal-Oregon State!!!

It seems that FTX, who has the long term naming rights to CMS, has had to disappear into Binance as its rescuer. Hopefully, Binance takes over FTX's obligations

Coach Rollinson is going to retire at the end of this season. My son played for him and would run through a wall for him. We know Rollo very well and are sad he is retiring but he is deserving of it and at some point it was going to happen. Coach Rollo is an institution. He will be hard to replace. Rock N Roll Baby as he would say.

I am very confused this morning

Some more insight into the addition of Devin Curtis by Cal today as he gave the Bears his commitment on Signing Day. The program has yet to announce his signing, but it is expected to happen soon.

National player of year

2 additional all-Americans

Metro NY section player of the year, who is a depth filler in this class but in other years would be considered one of the more highly regarded recruits.

Here's my breakdown of the key storylines, talking points and comments from the week as the Bears prepare for Oregon State.

Yet the USC broadcast was filled with excuses. Media is filled with excuses. Canzano called him a "great coach" a couple of weeks ago. I don't get it? Is being a nice guy enough to get a pass from everyone for sucking at your job? is this Clay Helton 2.0?

It looks like Cal has a great chance here with the three-star prospect from Texas, depending on how this weekend goes.

We had heard this was looking possible again, didn't expect anything to move this fast as we were still trying to reconnect with him. On3 reports he's recommitted, Matt or I will hopefully touch base with him tonight.

I'm on it and will have the updates ...

Much of this is from the one-on-one interview I had with Mark Fox at Pac-12 Media Day that I ultimately decided to save for our season preview piece (which this is).

because their current hoops coach is not much better than fox
