Dear Calvin:
I really respect a guy who gives his all and perseveres. You fought thru adversity and had some great Cal moments on the field. I’m sure we’ll be seeing highlights of those. But never mind that. The simple fact is you showed yourself to Cal fans to be a man of character and that character will remain with you in life wherever the journey takes you!
Congrats and good luck!
Heal up fast!

Any word on exactly what happened?
We know his knee got injured again but are the rumors that he had cracked ribs also true? It did seem like they were checking his ribs on the field.
Thank you for being such a great Golden Bear, Michael. Hate to see you go out like this but you did an excellent job representing for Cal and I wish you the best of luck in the future!

It is great hearing comments like these from the players. My one fear is that these should be made at the end of the season. We still have another game, and a lot of the twitter comments from the team seem like they are acting as if the season is over.
I support the NBA player's union.
I think Calvin’s season IS over.

He’s reflecting on his season/career-ending injury last night.

Two words...Michael Calvin
Many of us here first heard of those two words next to ‘WR’ in an incoming recruiting class. We probably rooted for Cal to go top of your ‘recruting hotlist’ and did a little dance when you became a Cal commit. I can tell you that at that time, most of us were probably thinking, “How is this guy going to make up for losing DeSean, Hawk?” The tragedy with this way of looking at players is that all we do is project our hopes and aspirations onto those two words, ‘Michael Calvin’ instead of seeing you as what you are, a 18-19 year old human being entering college. This is perhaps wholly unfair to you but it is what we college football junkies do and for that I apologize.
Now, at the end of a Cal playing career when we’ve rooted for you, celebrated in your accomplishments, stewed with the disappointments, know that many of us here say… Thank you! You represented fighting through adversity and although this was a terrible way to go out, you have inspired us to … never … stop … fighting. Wish you the best of luck going forward, wherever that may take you.
Here’s to Michael Calvin
Two words …. Golden Bear

Great Heart!
And a great player—a true Golden Bear. Thanks, Michael-you made us proud fighting your injuries, playing great and hard and being team-first. Go Bears!
