The party is over for now. Probably has been for a while, seems like a few of us couldn't help but linger.
What's so hard about this is watching how quickly the game is leaving us behind. An off year turns into 5, then you're starting over and suddenly its a lost decade.
I'll butcher the quote, but someone said about living through world war 1 "It was like you woke one morning and all the buoys which had marked the channels of our lives were suddenly washed away." That's the current state of college athletics for those of us who were raised on it. From gambling and NIL to the fact that this has transformed from a regional thing with JP Sports presented by golden flake and al purnell into a global enterprise, it's just something entirely different than it was and our program seems determined to pretend that this isn't the case.
Worst of all, I have no faith in Mitch so I'd rather have cal just run out the clock and let someone else make the hire. Very discouraging day.
Are the good times really over for good?
