Recruiting is one thing. We obviously crush.

But I basically have ZERO respect for our staff at this point

They’re younger dudes, they KNOW some fixes. They’re online. They have understanding or are aware of actual analytics.

They Apparently have no voice. Or are just big pussies bc they have an inflated salary. It’s all just mind boggling.

You would think Cal hates this shit too, but it’s painfully clear he does not.

So weird to watch a formerly prideful man just willingly burn and not seek any help or escape.

Honestly think he’s mentally Ill. Not Kanye, but starting on the path. Not funny. Serious.

If he ran out 4 centers to start next game it wouldn’t even phase me.

I've started to wonder if there's some mental illness there. A little bit of a messiah complex where when he talks about being here not to win games and championships but ending generational poverty, he REALLY thinks that's what he's doing. The years of success, a hall of fame nod and a lifetime contract have only confirmed for him that he knows best.
 
With NIL, these kids have erased their own generational poverty before they step on campus now.
So, he can't play that card.
He could have been Saban.
We're a football school now.
Jack Ryan Season III is awful, worse than II.
Tried watching the Recruit on Netflix. It was awful. Can't determine if it was trying to be a drama or comedy. Acting awful, storyline unbelievable.
 
10 days of having the house to myself comes to an end today. Excited to have em back. Got unexpectedly drunk last night which was not the plan for the early morning airport pickup.
 
It’s inexplicable. Absolutely mind boggling.

This shit is as basic as boxing out in basketball today.

It may be different if we were having a decent amount of success.

You can’t argue it’s just a side effect of Cal’s loyalty toward seniority. He has never shown loyalty to seniority before.
It’s self sabotage.

We have an AD that literally gave him free rein to do/say whatever he wants. Mitch signed it four years after Cal had made a FF?

He would rather lose his way than win the way the Bennies and data guys prefer.
 
I want to know when cal decided to start dressing like Bob Huggins instead of the Italian mob? Is he too fat to fit into the pinstripe? It’s nearly as embarrassing as the product on the floor
 
Darius Miller carved out a very nice little NBA career for himself, playing in the league for 6 seasons and making $20 million. He made it as a role player not because he was a great shooter, but because he was a great 3-point shooter. And not just because he was a great 3-point shooter, but because he was a great 3-point shooter from the corner. And not just because he was a great 3-point shooter from the corner, but specifically the left corner, where he was the best in the league at that exact spot. His contribution was that extremely narrowly focused, and NBA coaches made a solid player out of him.

link: leads nba in corner 3%


Meanwhile, Cal will take a guy like CJ Fredrick, who may be the best shooter in the entire country, and he can't find him shots, and only seems to care about his toughness and rebounding. If your job as the f'ing head coach is NOT to take your guys and put them all in the best spot to win, then what in TF is it??
 
"Back like I forgot my keys" randoms:

*Went over a year without checking GYERO. Combination of work and family craziness just got me out of the habit. But definitely missed the group.

*Above all else, I need more GYERO in my life right now because I need a group of people who understand and share my disdain for John Calipari. The Gonzaga game absolutely broke me. I still harbored some hope until that point, but since then I've been completely out on Kentucky basketball. It's not worth my frustration and anxiety. The only game I've watched since then was the Bellarmine game, during which I wore maroon and unapologetically cheered for my alma mater. If the Knights had put on an even average shooting performance in Rupp, that game may have turned out differently...

*It's almost to the point where my hatred for what he's done to Kentucky basketball outweighs my fandom for the program. For example, I definitely don't want to lose to Louisville, but I can't help but think how hilariously embarrassing it would be for him to lose to an historically inept UL team. If it makes John look even more outdated, incompetent, or washed-up, it can't be that bad.

*Thank goodness for Mark F'ing Stoops, over there single-handedly carrying the water for an entire fanbase.

*Steve Cohen paying more in luxury tax this year than Bob Castellini is likely to pay his entire roster for the next two. I hope the Mets win the World Series, because it will show tight-asses like Castellini that spending money like drunken trust-fund babies in Vegas is actually a good business model in baseball. Certainly beats having Tommy Pham as your prize free agent signing.

*I swore off the Bengals like cigarettes in 2015, and now they're far and away the most exciting team in my sports world, with the brightest future to boot. What a world.

*Christmas with a 6 year old and a 3 year old is the greatest thing imaginable. Their level of excitement is infectious. And our 6 year old is even doing a great job of grasping the Christmas spirit. My parents got them an advent calendar with a small gift every day for them to open. One day, it was a $5 bill. She said she didn't want the money because she wanted to donate it to sick boys and girls so they could have a good Christmas. 🥲. 100% her idea. Parenting is brutal at times, but when stuff that like happens, it makes it more than worth it.

*The kids are officially "Home Alone is hilarious" years old. They've watched it 2-3 times already, and laugh hysterically every time. Daughter even asked google to play polka music.

*Christmas Vacation continues to be timeless.

*I ain't like Ol' Saint Nick...he don't come but once a year.

*Merry Christmas, GYERO
 
-its an obvious statement, but NYC is insane in a good way this time of year.

-short trip, stayed in midtown*...our travels were limited to midtown, west village, Chelsea and a jaunt to Hell's Kitchen for dinner one night.

*busy as hell but good for the girls to see all the Xmas stuff....will stay downtown on the next trip.

-nighttime carriage ride in Central Park, really cool. Tree at Rockefeller/lights everywhere. Christmas market at Bryant Park.

-MoMA was great as always.

-kochi in hells kitchen was the highlight of the food stuff. Michelin rated. Tasting menu. Waiter was a cats bball fan/played d2 at Mercy College....which was really impressive as he was a small Korean-American fella.

-petite boucherie in the west village. Really solid French joint...steak tartare was the highlight for me.

-shopping with the girls in midtown/west village took up much of the trip...they enjoyed, which is kinda the point. It did allow me to keep up with transfer portal/signing day stuff whilst they were doing their thing.

-go cats, or whatever.
 
Not MAD at this impending snow storm at all. Obviously hoping for no power outages and safe travels for all, but kinda forcing the state to shut down the day before Xmas eve, giving way to an unencumbered 4 day weekend is all the bonus I need this year. At least now I don’t have to drag myself to the office tomorrow and pretend to do any work.

Usually take my kids to a movie during Xmas break, thinking avatar? I didn’t love the first one but I’m a sucker for any big “blockbuster” type movie. FOMO maybe? Anyway, I’m a little concerned with the 3 hour run time. Kinda concerning? Anyone seen it? Worth the $100 and 3 hour block of time?

Popcorn+salt+butter+milk duds has been my movie theater go-to since I was kid. Not sure I can even WATCH a movie with that combo.

I get that Dabo is a corny ass dork, but isn’t that what is also likable about him? Like, he’s a character. That’s what makes college football fun is characters like him. If Dieon had said exactly what Dabo said half the people criticizing him would be quote-tweeting it with the ‼️ emoji. Chill out guys.

Not sure I can remember a college coach at a big time program that hates his fan base more than Cal hates us. Nick Saban probably hates bama fan but there’s no real reason for them to be beefing, so it’s probably never gonna reach the levels we’re seeing now with Cal and BBN. Sad!
