What Horrific Thing Will Happen To Cal Tomorrow?

PrintWell, this week has sucked. And it is barely half over! First, on Monday, UW poached our rising star in Tosh Lupoi. Then, on Tuesday, UW poached our generally well liked WR coach in Eric Kiaseu. Then, today, UW poached all of Richard Solomon's notes, homework, and test answers and he was declared academically ineligible.
Can nobody stop this league of super villains????
So, my question to you, dear readers, is what terrible, terrible thing will happen to Cal tomorrow? We're Cal, so there are really a lot of disastrous things that could happen! I feel like YHWH gets really creative with us when its time for the plagues and the locusts and the bla bla bla. So, vote in the poll and tell us in the comments, what thing won't we be able to unsee tomorrow?

The poll
We really need an option for: Oski is arrested for pedophilia.
But seriously three plausible horrific events:
1) Gutierrez and Harper Kamp collide chasing down a rebound resulting in two season ending injuries.
2) The Memorial Stadium Renovation hits a snag and will not be ready for use until November (after the Big Game)
3) The NCAA gives Cal a formal letter of investigation regarding Will Lyles
I was thinking about this and at least no one
And nobody has stabbed and murdered anyone in Eshleman Hall.
All of these happened during my years on campus — truly an unusual string of bizarre, crazy events.
Or maybe the murderer is a paraplegic, and is wheeling around somewhere. Sometimes it’s the people you least expect….

Unusual events? How soon they forget!
One student is shot to death during a protest at People’s Park and another is blinded. Ronald Reagan comes back from the dead and places Berkeley under marshal law. The National Guard lines up in Sather Gate with guns drawn and bayonets at the ready. Thousands of students in Sproul Plaza are tear gassed. Telegraph Avenue becomes a virtual war zone.

Gee … the worst thing I can remember from my days was the horriffic Bibi Lee thing.
Still makes me feel sick to my stomach.

I love this so much. What is it from?

I'd prefer not to have an earthquake.
Especially since I still live in Berkeley…

After the earthquake, Cal Athletics looks to relocate to San Jose, but is told by Larry Scott that Stanfurd has “territorial rights” to the South Bay and must wait indefinitely on a decision by the Pac-12 Commissioner.
The likelihood that the California Golden Bears of San Jose becomes a reality is slim and Cal is relegated to playing home football games at Berkeley High School.
Tedford: “The stadium situation isn’t ideal, but we believe that playing our games in the community is a great way to outreach to the broader Berkeley population that may not necessarily be associated with the university. We think playing at Berkeley High will provide us with a great home-field advantage and for once, people will finally make the connection that the California Golden Bears are the team from the University of California, Berkeley, otherwise known as Cal Berkeley.”

The innovation from such work leads the California economy out of its dept
New tree sitters move in stalling the construction of a New New Memorial. With the economy on the rebound, this allows UCLA to upgrade all their facilities and increase their football coaches salaries.
UCLA hires To$h Lupoi from UW to take over for Jim Mora Jr after he joins his dads staff in the NFL. Mora Sr finally leads the Colts not only to the PLAYOFFS! but a Super Bowl with All Pro Andrew Luck at QB.
To$h takes all of UWs recruits and their entire coaching staff with him to UCLA, manages to convince Sark to join him as uclas OC, he leads an a star coaching staff to 8 consecutive Pac12 championships while at UCLA.
Cal is still waiting for the tree sitters to leave…

Are they at least going to add nice new bathrooms on the east side of New New Memorial once they get the tree sitters down? Please??

If Tedford is an alien bent on world domination
Can he start with dominating the Pac12 in the form of a few conference titles and destroying UW before he moves on to the rest of the world?

Tedford and Barbour resign.
Steve Marshall is hired as Cal’s new head coach. Tom Holmoe takes over as AD.
CGB: The Strangest Blog
University of California introduces Steve Marshall as DL Coach.
Tedford: “Steve is a tremendous coach. He has worked with us in the past, and he knows exactly what we do here. There has been a few new coaches since he Steve coached here at Cal, but many of them have common NFL background, and we can work together from day 1.”
“Steve is a tremendous coach. He has worked with us in the past, and he knows exactly what we do here. During his previous tenure at Cal, the defensive line showed great strides, dominating the offensive line in practice. I look forward to getting Coach Marshall back on campus, where he can continue where he left off.”

Tedford: “Steve is a tremendous coach. He’s worked with us in the past, and he knows exactly what we do here. Through his previous work as our offensive line coach, Steve was masterful in creating outstanding opposing defensive line play, and we think that will translate well in his new role. We’re lucky to have him back.”
Lawrence Ross
Barbour and Tedford fired. Bob Bockrath named Athletic Director and hires Buddy Teevens as football coach.
Bockrath: “Having already served as Cal’s Athletic Director before, I know what this place is all about, which is why I’m happy to introduce Buddy Teevens as our new head football coach. Buddy has already coached in the old Pac-10 and is familiar with the teams, coaches and schemes. We think he’s a perfect fit and will take Cal Football to the next level.”

Please don't cap off the week by losing to UW tomorrow in BBall
Around these parts, a man could get hurt for wearing purple.
None of these are a metaphysical crisis
Cal hires 2 new assistant coaches who reassure the recruits. After a year of everyone getting used to one another, losing only to SC, Cal starts to prepare for the 2013 season as USC enters the dark side of the moon from scholarship reductions and Oregon gets battered by the NCAA. Cal then goes on a five year rampage through the PAC 12, winning 4 consecutive Rose Bowls and starting on a national championship run. By this point, Cal alumni are in complete disarray because their whole outlook on sports and dooooooooooom culture is in tatters. Cal gets to the MNC game, and then loses to Texas in Mack Brown’s farewell game. And deep down, Cal alumni don’t mind, because it’s back to business as usual.

Sweet, sweet Jumbaco. I could never hate you.

They did it wrong
As someone who used to give in to the temptation of absolute munchies and wild food experimentation, I can tell you with 100% confidence that those darn kids are making the Jumbaco wrong.
Back in my day we called it the “Jack in the Crack Meltdown” and it was a taco placed beneath the patty and above the bottom bun.
No joke.
Kids today, why they have no idea or respect and they are too loud with their rock music and their skinny jeans and their Jesse Beaver video games and facepage computer stuff.
They probably have no idea about how we used to tie onions to our belts (which was the style at the time)

I love you guys but...
enough already. Seriously, should all 500 of us write a doom front page post or DBD? Losing Tosh hurt but looking at the circumstances we know are true (and with some inside info) I’m glad he’s the fkcu out of here. Losing Kiesau? Eh, the only thing that hurt about it was the timing. I was glad he was our coach and all, but did any of us think he was the greatest coach in the world? And look at that, we got a total stud to replace him. This my friends is called turning lemons into Louis Roederer Cristal Champagne.
So look, I get Monday and Tuesday sucked. It’s a blip. But all this f’ing bitching and moaning and saying we’re Cal so something awful will follow is not only (in my mind) tiresome, it’s downright counterproductive and makes us look like a bunch of self defeatist losers who actually enjoy wallowing in this. And I ask you, if you weren’t associated with that, would you want to be?
I am positive our wide receiving results next year just got a whole lot better. And I have a sneaking suspicion the same will be true of our dline play and the following year’s recruiting. Because don’t forget, we got this
So buck up already and get ready for our next great hire!

Great hires...
Apparently only come around every three years or so. We hit our peak last season, so we’re on the cooling trend again.
the next worst thing to happen would be Ron Gould getting poached by USC.
Then the massive earthquake…and the cloning of dumpster muffin by a U-Wub grad student.
booooooooooooooooooooo
