Steve Sarkisian, Cal Football Wants To Say Thank You

PrintThroughout this crazy week, we haven't really taken the time to getting around to talking about the great job Steve Sarkisian is doing up at the University of Washington. You have to hand it to him. What will he do next? Redonkulous Bear was quick to provide this depiction of events.
So this letter was written on behalf of Cal nation to appease Sark. We hope Cal fans take with it the same spirit and join us in thanking Sark in the great work he's done up in Seattle via the many suggestions and links we offer below. We encourage others to contribute and making sure Sark knows that we know the good things he's done.
Dear Coach Sark,
Congratulations!
I see that you've been up to some big things in Seattle. A lot of "Woof woof woof" this and that. And we're proud of you. You've proven you are a formidable opponent, and you are a worthy challenger.
We've heard you're trying to torpedo our recruiting class. That's absurd. It's neither here or there that our former coach decided to pay courtesy calls to guys he helped to Cal and try to get them to flip to UW. We're up to four examples now, but we're sure it's all a big practical joke you're playing here and that you're telling them great things about our school.
Plus that other coach that you took that brought in six receivers to be Bears who now could be reconsidering their decisions? Big coincidence I'm sure.
We notice you have a website full of great announcements about signing day and hirings like these two fine gentleman Mr. K and Mr. L! Best of all, you have a comments section on all of these posts! I sure hope Cal fans everywhere will let you know on your excellent blog their feelings on how incredible your accomplishments are. They surely won't spread any of those nasty rumors you hear on the Internet.
Oh the rumors? You haven't heard?
Well, we've heard people going after you for your breathless accomplishments. It'd be awful if a bunch of people started making unscrupulous allegations to tarnish your spotless reputation.
I'm of course, talking about the "Steve Sarkisian Stomps Baby Seals" allegations.
Absolute nasty that anyone would try and say something like that. We sure don't want people to think that Steve Sarkisian dreams every night of taking creatures like our friend below.
(via Veeder73)
And then wrestling with them in the snow until they're moaning and tapping out. That would just send the wrong message. We've seen innocent 'Mericans like Craig James feel the fire of such baseless accusations. We don't want any of our members to think such horrible things, or especially tell their football friends about it on various message boards or websites. That would be a tragedy.
Well, I say no. We refuse to believe that Sark the Serial Seal-Beater actually exists, and all of you out there reading this should make sure that if people ever let this rumor spread online, that everyone else online knows that too. You don't want people to be going searching for Steve Sarkisian and then seeing "What's this I see about seals?" Washington fans, if you ever get angry about this rumor, just remember no one saw Sark ever sucker-punch a seal pup.
Finally, we have to thank you for paying attention to us. We thought people forgot we existed. It's rare to see such dedication to try and mess with a fellow 7-6 football team. Identical records and you want our coaches for ten billion dollars and a boat? Crazy thing.
You must really think we can do something, huh? We thank you for the consideration, because most people thought we were irrelevant. Thanks for making us feel welcome again. It's good to know we're doing something right, because otherwise you're doing something very wrong.
Of course, we know you would never do such a thing. Just like you would never drop-kick a seal off the roof of Husky Stadium.
GO BEARS AND GO DAWGZZZ! WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF WOOF.
Sincerely,
Golden Bear Nation
PS: We sure hope no one posts photoshops/animations of Sark or his two new lackeys doing such things in the comments, or other such images anywhere on the Net.

Has anyone talked to that Oregon State coach that also joined Uw?
I would assume that Sark has Keith Hayward on lockdown regarding comments about what he thinks about ethics and recruiting, but there has to be something out there on what he thinks about how things are being done at his new school.
He had that great quote about how it would be unethical to try to flip the OSU commits now that he is with Uw. Sure would be nice to hear what he has to say about how his boss and coworkers are doing things.

Not likely, but since he said this when HE moved to Uw, would be interesting to see what he thinks about what is going on since Kiesau and Lupoi went there and started doing all of this shady stuff.

I’m sure Rodgers and Nickerson both helped to convince their boys. (And maybe Gale helped keep the younger Gilbert away!)
For all my worry about the other high profile recruits, the two I want more than the others, were Hardy Jr. and Bryce, to along with Rodgers. I’d hate to see Treggs walk after waiting all this time to see him follow his dad’s legacy…

New NCAA recruiting system:
Schools cannot recruit on their own behalf. Instead, the NCAA allows free-agent recruiters to go out there, gather up a class, then sell the class to the highest bidder. This would be no more unethical than the current arrangement.
That is called the Oregon Plan. Invented by Chip Kelley and currently in testing phase in Texas.

Tosh finally provides an explanation:
It is absolutely untrue that I abandoned ship in Berkeley. The truth is that I tripped and, to my surprise, I landed in a boat. And ended up in Seattle. That is the God’s truth.

Coaching changes occur frequently, and change in and of itself is not unusual. Neither Coach Tedford nor I begrudge the coaches for doing what they think is best for themselves and their families. We are disappointed, though, in the timing of their decisions and the manner in which this has unfolded as we approach National Signing Day.

Emperor Sarkisian
He’d just declare it a state of emergency and become emperor of the Galactic Republic.
Oh Tosh
-Sarkisian said the discussions with Tosh Lupoi went on for "well over two weeks’’ and that it "took longer than I would have liked but we were able to get Tosh on board.’’
-Asked how he was able to get Lupoi to come to UW, Sarkisian said "I had to recruit the recruiter, in a sense. You have conversations to gauge interest and there was definite interest from Tosh. But his love of Cal and playing there and GA-ing there (being a graduate assistant) and coaching there, that was difficult for him to overcome. But through it all he sawwhat we have done here, the potential that is here, the rest of the staff, his ability to fit in with the staff and ultimately to grow as a coach. It’s great to be a great recruiter, but he has goals of being a coordinator and ultimately a head coach and I feel like he feels this is a necessary step to accomplish those things in his career.a giant bag of money and a boat’’
Asked what makes Lupoi a great recruiter he said "he’s got tremendous passion for(the job)himself, he works at it, he’s confident and believes in himself and he does a tremendous job of building relationships with the young men and their parents. … It boils all down to his energy and his ability to do it day in and day out.’’

Honest Question
You don’t think that if Lupoi excelled at UW it wouldn’t be considered better then performing well at Cal?
If Cal is such a great program why is UW more prestigious and why does the UW Basketball team generate more profits then the Cal Football team?

Answering your question
Considering Cal is considered a tougher place to win, Tosh performing well at Cal would have been much more impressive.
Cal is known first as an academic powerhouse and second as an athletic school. Having Tedford and Monty as HCs is helping turn Cal into an athletic power house as well.

Is the University of Washington renowned for its prestige? I guess Bruce Lee and Frank Herbert are kinda distinguished alumni. And Bill Gates, Sr. had a lucky sperm. But other than that? I don’t see any Washingtonium on the periodic table.

Coming from the Midwest
I wanted to apply to big public schools (preferably outside of Kansas) that had solid academic reputations to go along with D1 sports and the whole big public school scene. I applied to Cal, Michigan, Virginia, North Carolina, UCLA, Washington and a few others.
The funny thing, the second I put my app in the mail an arm came shooting back out of the mailbox with a letter addressed from UDub. How could I be accepted before they even read my application?
When I did more research, I found that they actually accepted anyone who was smart enough to mail an envelope to the proper mailing address and they desperately wanted people that weren’t depressed, white locals. Do they actually turn down anyone? They claimed to be on par with the others, but when I dug a little deeper, I quickly learned that no one is actually impressed with a Udub degree and it wouldn’t really help me outside of Seattle.
For some reason, all the other schools took months to respond. Not sure why, but I think it had something to do with actually opening up the application package.

Random Question
I assume that all the Cal fans hate Brandon Bigelow, right? I mean above you are claiming that Tosh Lupoi is a horrible person for flipping recruits and yet last year you did that to Bigelow, a guy that UW was willing to offer in the summer despite his knee injury.
Im sure Bigelow doesn’t count, right? Right?
BTW, maybe you are used to mediocre football so you think it is a legit reason that a coach would steal two coaches for the short sided concept of stealing ONE recruiting class…but everyone else in the world realizes what a silly (and self centered) concept that would be.

Yes, it is.
I think you need to look up what a double-standard is.
Of course it’s OK to compete and recruit students, in general. Flipping recruits from one school to another 2 weeks before LOI is unethical. Your own DB coach said it. Did you get a UW education?
I think what Demetrice Martin did to UW when he went to UCLA was unethical. That doesn’t justify UW trying to fuck over Cal worse though.

Nope
Im not saying that at all because that is not what happened. If Cal had matched the offer he would’ve stayed. Are you saying that you would’ve rather Tosh had just stayed off the road and not recruited for you guys while he was making a decision?
No, we would’ve preferred that he didn’t hint he was checking out UW to a recruit the day before he left and immediately turn around and ask if the recruit wanted to follow him to Seattle.
Ahhhhhhhhh, so you wanted him to lie to recruits and convince them to go to Cal even if he wasn’t going to be there. That’d be real nice to do to a kid who is making the biggest decision of his life
Other than the unspeakable one not being there....
…..what about his recruiting pitch was a lie?
But Cal did match the initial offer
That initial offer was in the neighborhood of $300K. Cal matched it. And Lupoi also pledged to Tedford that if Cal matched the offer, he would stay.
But apparently, Lupoi, at the very least, didn’t stop there. He either shopped the match to Sarkisian or stayed on the phone with Sarkisian after telling him that Tedford matched the Huskies’ $300K offer.
Either way, Lupoi failed to honor his pledge.

Thank you, blykmyk44, for joining California Golden Blogs two minutes ago, so you could post such a charming and thoughtful comment. The situation with Tosh Lupoi is so dramatically different from the Bigelow situation that no comparison is possible. However, I’m sure you have no interest in an actual explanation or intelligent discussion, so I will just say, “happy trolling.”

Grand Scheme
For UW as a prorgam, it would be short sighted. For a coach like Sark on a limited term contract, it is not sort sighted. He has not performed well and after throwing Holte out the door, he is left to take the blame.
Look at how long the prior coaches have lasted at UW since Don James, they have very little time to prove themselves. It is not implausible that a major or at least material reason that this occurred and at this time is attributed to gaining recruits that UW otherwise could not get.
I’ll try not to confuse Sark for UW, but you shouldn’t either.
Also, you shouldn’t confuse general recuirting with what Lupoi is doing.

if UW had taken a few recruits on their own merit (i.e. not hiring 2 coaches with intentions to use their previously built relationships to try to switch recruits’ commitments) no one here would be that pissed. Yes, people would be saying, what’s going on in Berkeley? and that Sark is a sneaky one, but no one would be as outraged as they are now. The problem we have here is the manner of the hiring and the sense that the hiring was simply to poach Cal recruits.
What a silly and self centered statement to think that the only reason UW hired these guys was to gain a few recruits in this class.
No successful coach would be that short sighted…
Not the only reason, but a big one. and one of your coaches you just hired said the same thing.
Will Heyward attempt to get the recruits to follow him to the Huskies?
“No, I won’t,” he said. “That would be unethical. No.”
Keith Heyward explains why he’s leaving Beavers for Huskies
It’s slimy that Tosh turned around hours after going to UW to recruit Shaq Thompson. And since then, he’s gone on to offer (with Sark’s obvious blessing) several other Cal recruits (Cochran, Payton, Barton, etc.) with which Lupoi had close ties with.
If the shoe was on the other foot you’d be expecting your coach to do the same. That is why this is funny. Again, how is flipping a recruit like Bigelow any different. Sark had offered him in the summer before Cal and then Cal decides at the end of the process to try and poach him.
It is about flipping recruits that have been committed to the other school. You have no problem when your school does it, but you have a problem with other schools do it to you.
I’m going to assume, despite ample evidence, that you do genuinely want an honest discussion on this matter and provide you with an honest response. This is pure foolishness on my part, but that’s me, Mr. Foolish!
Anyway, so far zero recruits have been flipped. Zero. None. Zilch. Number of sexual partners Tim Tebow has had. Nobody!
However, 2 coaches have flipped! The concern is about flipping coaches. And, in particular, flipping coaches when one coach acts unprofessionally and unethically.
That is the bottom line. Totally different situation.

He didn’t act unprofessionally…he acted exactly how you would want him to act. You didn’t want him off the recruiting road if he was considering an offer.
Unless you are arguing that you wanted a person who was representing your school specifically lying to a recruits face…hmmm would that have been unethical?
I think trying to recruit guys to UW he was JUST recruiting to Cal is unprofessional and unethical.
I think telling recruits “Hey, if you dont want to come to UW, fair enough, just DO NOT go to Cal” is unprofessional and unethical.
I think clearing out your locker (so to speak) in the middle of the night (so to speak) without telling anybody before hand (not any of your players!) is unprofessional and unethical.
I think quitting via voicemail is unprofessional.

who said we wanted him on the road...
…..if we knew he was actually going to go UDumb? Had we known it, he would have been pulled off of recruits immediately. But in fact he looked Tedford straight in the eye and said that Cal’s match meant no more talking to UDumb.
We would want him off the recruiting road if he was considering an offer. However, he LIED and told Tedford that he was no longer considering any offers after we matched it. That’s not unethical?

The failure in your argument is the silly idea that the only reason Sark signed these guys was to get your recruits. Once that is thrown out the window it makes your concept of not poaching recruits hypocritical because your school does it all the time.
Nope, but it is a great way to avoid addressing the actual argument when you can’t really say much about it.

You do realize that more than one team is allowed to offer a recruit? There’s a difference between offering a recruit who’s committed to a school and hiring a coach who’s developed a relationship for 3 years with these kids using another school’s money and sending him to go flip them after they’ve already committed 2 weeks before signing day.
Does that answer your question, troll?
Save your breath.
The guy’s a troll. He doesn’t understand this. The autoresponse by UW fans to this whole situation is “LOOK AT BIGELOW!”
What a silly and self centered statement

They really believe
that they were on UW’s radar as some sort of threat and that’s why they took this DRASTIC EXTREME ACTION and it’s just precious
Well, not exactly that, but we looked to be headed for a top-5 recruiting class in the nation a week or two ago, and you guys needed assistants, and we had an ace recruiter, so why not improve your staff, and if it blows up Cal’s recruiting momentum at the same time, then even better!!
I mean, we are division-mates competing for the the same spot in the championship game. Hurting us only helps you guys. Landing a top recruit is one thing, but if you get someone and a division rival loses one at the same time, then it’s a double bonus!
So I’m sure Sark hired those guys because he thought they’d improve the program, but I do believe that hurting Cal was an added bonus which made the move even more appealing.

I think I wrote this already (maybe to the other UW guy), but no. Tosh was a good DL coach at Cal, but he was better known as a recruiter. The fact that Sark has had him turn around and offer a bunch of Cal commits and to visit said commits, is evidence that Sark hired Lupoi, at least partially, to have a better shot at Cal recruits he previously had spoken to.
Yes. Why else hire him two weeks before LOI day, and not at the conclusion of last season?

Come on people and get a clue. Lupoi obviously knows what the better program is that is why he came up here. If a couple recruits change their mind because of it big deal don’t be such whiny asses. This happens ALL the time. Case in point Terrence Jones committed to Washington for basketball then changed his mind to Kentucky because the coach kept calling him.
If the same situation had happened and a coach left Washington for cal and took some recruits you guys would be praising him for doing it. Just a bunch of crybabies and an example of why you haven’t amounted to anything in football. Or much in any other sports either.

Obviously he thinks its the better program or why would he leave. He is a cal grad and would be inline to be the coordinator or maybe even head coach.
Do you not read the headlines? He left for 500K salary (and reportedly a boat) and undisclosed booster money. As for what Tosh thinks is the better program, that’s subjective, I can’t argue what’s in Tosh’s head. But your statements makes it seem that It’s obvious (objectively, implied) that UW is the better program. To which I argue, Cal and UW had identical records. TO an outsider w/o knowledge of the Pac 12, they’d wouldn’t be able to differentiate based solely on records. I.e. no obvious proof that UW is the better program. Sure, you won head to head in Seattle, but I honestly think we take that game if it were in Berkeley.
To an outsider I am sure they’d look at a team with the second most Conference Championships in the Pac 10 era as compared to Cal with no Pac 10 championships.
I guess they’d also look at the team that has won 4 of the last 5
C’mon, those glory years are long past. Those years, have almost no impact on current play outside of boosters trying to bring those good ole days back. Since Ty and Sark took over, UW has wavered from bad to mediocre, same as Cal, which arguably has been flatlined at mediocre since ’04.
If you really want to look in the past, then I would argue Cal has 5 national championships to UW’s 2. Does that mean Cal is a better program?? I’m gonna say no
Really? You don’t think being able to show Rose Bowl trophies from their lifetime isn’t more important then what Cal has done?
Actually, I think the lack of the trophies has been a recruiting selling point the past few years. A lot of the recruits are sold on the idea of turning it around and getting the first one since the 50s. But you’re still missing my point. What matters is current records, and if you look at current records, UW and Cal are both unspectacular.
We have only been mediocre since 2007, yo! :)

I’m sorry, more money doesn’t make it a better program. Results on the field define if it’s a better program. By your argument the Yankees are a better team than the St. Louis Cardinals b/c they take in more revenue, despite the fact the Cards won the World Series. Please.
The Yankees are a better and more popular team than the Cardinals. Why would Tosh not rather go to a program with a better history, better revenue, more commitment to football, has won 4 of the last 5 head to head…?
C’mon, they’re not better. If they were better they would’ve won the world series last year. And popularity doesn’t make a team good. Look at the Cowboys. “America’s team” hasn’t made the playoffs in 3 years. The most popular team in the world, Manchester United, isn’t even in first place in the EPL.
I wasn’t sure I had the moral fiber to withstand the comment thread, to be honest.

If the world Series isn’t to crown the best team then what’s the point of having it happen every year? If the NCAA tournament isn’t to crown the NATIONAL CHAMPION (ie the best college team in the land) then what’s the point? By modern college rules, the best team is the winner. If you can’t win in the clutch, you’re not the best. So, LeBron won’t be the best until he gets a ring.

I had heard the rumors for the last week but thought there was no way he was going to leave. Then he called me this morning and said UW gave him an offer that he couldn’t refuse and he was leaving. He asked if I would be interested in looking at Washington and said he wants to come back and visit me next week."

I think it’s the whole “a square is a rectangle, but a rectangle isn’t necessarily a square” thing going on. A vampire, by definition, is undead. But not all undead are vampires: mummies, UW trolls, zombie UW trolls, etc.
But I would never say that is a rectangular square in describing something
It’s a square.

You do not know me well
I’m the Duck fan who was crapping in the corner at the thought of playing Wisconsin. I barely survived the build-up to the Stanford game. Don’t even ask me about the Auburn, LSU, games. SC terrifies me next year.
Hell, I’m not too confident about Cal, huskies, or even Wazzu. There’s a very good chance we lose one or more of those games. The only reason we won the RB this year was the desparation and intensity that was accumulated after losing all those games starting from Boise State in agonizing fashion. And now most of those veterans are gone.
The folks we now have stepping up don’t know adversity. They don’t know disappointment, shame, or loss. They’re newbies glad to win a starting spot or get playing time. Winning requires toughness. This is why it’s so hard to sustain success. My fear is the Ducks will be complacent, too new, too fresh, too untested.
I’ll be shocked if we’re in the Rose Bowl this year.

Unfortunately get used to it
Yes, I’m a DAWG fan, but hopefully won’t be called a troll. I know exactly the sentiments being expressed by Cal fans. Many UW fans have been upset about the very same thing since December. Coach Martin left the UW for UCLA and promptly began flipping recruits to UCLA that he had recruited to UW. Very similiar in that he was in the house of one recruit as a DAWG one night and the next evening coach Martin was a Bruin and so was the commit. To all PAC 12 teams I have to say….get use to it. With the new PAC 12 T.V. deal there is a lot more money to throw around and expectations have increased 1000 fold. Welcome to the recruiting wars of the SEC, it’s here to stay. I’m fortunate enough to be a UW fan in the new PAC, because the T.V. money goes entirely to the Athletic Department.

Sounds like the right approach to me. Let’s start a letter writing campaign with the Huskies. I’m sure they’ll go for it.
Or just say any recruits whose relationships with you were the results of funding past a certain amount from your prior university are off limits to you; the new school can still recruit said commit, just with another recruiter. Pretty much same thing, just I made it a bit more specific.
Easy
just bar any coaches hired prior to LOI day barred from having contact with recruits he previously had contact with.

Actually
It was posted in reply to THIS comment:
“Unethical and immoral practices by the University of Washington!”
And is perfectly appropriate, as one of the primary reasons salespeople get hired away by another business in any industry that employs them is to bring their clients along eventually. DWI
To be serious for a moment, BJ, I notice that you make the key distinction that employers hope that customers will follow a salesman “eventually.” That is entirely legitimate, but only if the salesman does not solicit the customer’s business.
Under California law (and, to my knowledge, the law of most states), information about and contacts with customers, and in some instances even the identities of customers, are trade secrets, which are the property of the employer. This is because the employee obtains the information about the customer and develops the relationship while being paid by his original employer, and using the resources of the original employer. It is unlawful for an employee to use such information to solicit a customer to leave and follow him or her to a new company, precisely because it is considered theft of the employer’s information.
As a general rule, employees can lawfully inform the customers of their original employer that they are leaving the company, and provide them with the identity of the new company where they will be working. If the customer then decides, without any further prompting by the employee, to move its business to the new company, that is fine. But any attempt by the employee to solicit, i.e., encourage, the customer to move to the new company, using information about the customer or about the original employer that the employee obtained while working for the original employer, is unlawful.
Obviously, many salesmen violate this law, and they get away with it because the original employer cannot prove what they have done, or does not want to spend the time and money to sue, and drag their customers into the litigation as witnesses. But it is still unlawful and unethical.

Now, in Scoreboard, Baby, Armstrong and Perry go behind the scenes of the Huskies Cinderella story to reveal a timeless morality tale about the price of obsession, the creep of fanaticism, and the ways in which a community can lose even when its team wins. The authors unearth the true story from firsthand interviews and thousands of pages of documents: the forensic report on a bloody fingerprint; the notes of a detective investigating allegations of rape; confidential memoranda of prosecutors; and the criminal records of the dozen-plus players arrested that year with scant mention in the newspapers and minimal consequences in the courts. The statement of a judge, sentencing one player to thirty days in jail, says it all: “to be served after football season.”
Other synopses,
Scoreboard, Baby: A Story of College Football, Crime, and Complicity:
The University of Washington’s march to the 2001 Rose Bowl answered one of sport’s most enduring questions: If winning is everything, what are we left with? Scoreboard, Baby exposes the rot beneath a celebrated season — and the ruins left behind, showing how a community’s blind embrace of a football team compromised judges, prosecutors, police agencies, a proud university and the media.
In other words, I wholeheartedly endorse your continued use of this particular comparison, and invite you to draw further parallels between the two programs on this topic.
Somewhere, somehow, a Duck is watching you.
How many
AD’s and coaches ago was that? And here people accuse Husky fans of living in the past

Gentlemen, let's be clear about our terms.
police report that was retracted clarified events that lead to an initial and subsequently dropped charge of “strangulation,” which ended up being nothing like what people thought. And which has been gleefully ignored by those slamming LaMike and/or Oregon for “choking [his] girlfriend.”

No
I just think it’s funny that there’s a lot of people who genuinely believe that your coaches are taking a step down in the world, that you’re entitled to keep coaches and recruits, and that anything would have been accomplished with them under Noted Quarterback Guru Jeff Tedford
I'll make sure ask Avi to simplify the next post
so that UW fans can understand what is going to be said in the first 5 words. Maybe then, you’ll understand what we’re saying and how little it has to do with entitlement.
We’re not complaining about the coaches leaving. Almost no one is pissed about Kiseau, and Tosh, people we’re half expecting him to leave at some point. We have a problem with the poaching of recruits. It’s like you’ve read absolutely nothing on this blog except the headline and decided to be pissed off that we’re (satirically) making fun of Sark.
Apparently
You don’t bother reading even as many of your own blog’s comments as I do
I’m sorry, I actually know what the sentiments have been here the past few days. I’ve been wasting time on this blog since this morning sir. What I wrote previously is the general feeling around here. And if you beg to differ, you sir, are an idiot, and are putting words in our mouths.
P.S. Are you actually mad b/c Sark clubbed your favorite seal? It’s okay, I miss it too!!
we suck, you suck too. high five! (FYI: larger than 4, less than 6)
Tony Gonzalez? University of California?
the thing is UW doesn’t recognize their mediocrity, whereas we do here. They seem to really think they’re gonna take the Pac 12 next year.
To$h is the secret ingredient, obviously! We were winning so much with him that they had to have him for themselves.

No one thinks
We’re going to take the PAC-12 next year, no one that isn’t a Wal Mart fan anyway. The difference is we’ve won something like 7 Rose Bowls since the last time you have and have been nationally relevant in living memory, and we’re going to at least try to get back there. You clearly aren’t.
AS I TOLD THE OTHER TROLLS, you’re stupid 7 rose bowls since 59 makes no difference on current results. if you want to go with old facts, then Cal won 5 natn’l championships to UW’s 2. There. Whose better today? Does this fact have any impact on how Tedford or Sark’s gonna call a game? hell no. My point is both teams are mediocre, I’m not saying Cal is better as of today.
Right, which is when that whole thing about murder and rape and Washington’s judicial coming to a complete standstill comes up. Was your pride worth it?
Wait, you just laid out, what, $2.5 million on new assistants and you don't even expect to win?
Sounds like someone isn’t getting their money’s worth.

and honestly, how can you say Cal’s not trying to get back to relevance? what’s the point of playing if Tedford didn’t give a fuck? This may be news, but any coach in college football wants to win every game
Facilities
Don’t coach players. Keep cheaping out on your assistant budget and that will be merely a shinier monument to mediocrity than what you had before.
Yeah

about the NFL. I certainly don’t. College record is what matters, and Tedford’s, after a decade of doing things his way, continues to lose.
FYI Tedford has exactly ONE losing season since 2001. He may be mediocre, but he’s not exactly losing.
Le Sigh.
Post should have read “Not in the PAC, he doesn’t. Plenty of losing seasons there.”
Um, and recruits care about the NFL. The come play college ball as a stepping stone to the NFL. No one plays college ball with the sole purpose of finishing afterwards if they have a shot to go pro. And turn on the TV sunday from 12-8, you’ll see who cares about the NFL

A fellow Old Blue (he is very wise, and someone who I respect a lot) put it in perspective for me… He said that this shall pass, but this snake (my word, not his) will always remember this. It’s unfortunate, but one player doesn’t make a team. Cal stands for much greater things than such shenanigans. Frankly, since this schmuck didn’t know that, good riddance. Cal will move on! If Thompson and the others realize this, then they’ll make great Bears. If they ultimately decide to go elsewhere – and I hope they do not – our great university will be just fine. Be forewarned, the vultures are out… Led by Jim Mora, Jr. & Co. A few players do not equal W’s. Rather, I want folks who want to be Golden Bears. Evidently, the schmuck who went north did not. Personally, I think that reveals a lot about one’s true character. He has to live with his greedy decision. I wish the Cal football family the best. The one good thing is that it’s probably warm in hell after all those cold days in Seattle.
this was a very serious, honest, and heartfelt comment. What the hell are you doing here.

In other news I think we're moving toward having one CalBear for every year.

I just wanted to pop in to say...
That while I follow quite a few SBN sites, this is probably the worst showing I’ve seen. Sure, we all get mad/hate teams or players, but that kind of stuff should stay in the comments or fanposts. To see personal attacks against a rival coach, by (apparently?) staff? Cal Berkeley is a great school, and I’ll probably go if I get in, but I won’t be impressed with (some) of its fans.
you understand the concept of satire, yes?

Cal fans need to get a grip
Decades of losing followed by a decade of under-achieving can really scorch ones perspective. Cal has spent the last few years poaching commits from other schools, not fulfilling their potential on the field, and spending away the future of their children have the inability to keep their institutions on solid financial footings.
Karma can be a bitch.
Some Bears grow up and move on….and when they do, sometimes they become Huskies.
I had 3 grips, but I lost them. Do you havea ny for me?

It's A Business And Reality-ville
Dear UC Berserkley Football Fans,
You seem to forget/ignore your success in poaching UW verbal commits over the recent past (e.g., Brendon Bigelow). My, that’s so convenient when voicing your righteous indignation over the UW’s recruitment of two UCB assistant coaches, who apparently chose to voluntarily make career advancement moves by going to jobs with more responsibility at significantly greater compensation. Such is life in the current world of major college football. Best buckle up and enjoy the ride.

ATQ has lost its crown. It grieves my heart to say this. We knew this day would come. CGB wins.
Our decades-long dominance over the PAC-10 in attracting the best of the husky trolls has sadly come to an end. I fully acknowledge CGB as the new kings of the PAC-12 husky troll visits. You’ve beaten us, fair and square. You not only attracted the best of the husky trolls, you made it look easy. You kept playing it just right, and they kept coming. You got their best.
Tragic day over at ATQ, but we bow to your superiority, CGB!! I will always look upon this blog with respect. I’ll read it with jealousy from afar. Carry the crown proudly, CGB, and enjoy your reign…
Oregon loves you, Chip Kelly!
