We weren't picked to finish last by all 34 voters so that's, uh, something.

That's higher than I would have picked them.

At least if anyone decommits from MBB it won't affect the outcome.

Seems that all of our "revenue" teams are now on the same page....

No rhythm or reason for it and I don't personally know him but I don't like Fox. And I can't stand watching him act like a petulant child on the sideline. Why is it that only MBB coaches act like such idiots, is it in the coaching manual or some shit? I want the players to be successful but wouldn't mind if Fox were gone and back to not coaching somewhere in the South or where ever they found him doing nothing before his hire.

Lots of attention rightfully being paid to Wilcox and Fox, but I hope there becomes more scrutiny on Knowlton for presiding over this travesty. Not only are we at the very bottom in both of the revenue sports, we seem to be getting worse still. There are limitations to finding success at Cal in both, but there are also advantages as well that should have use consistently sitting towards the middle of the conference in both sports at least.

WBB was also picked to finish last this year. But I like Smith she's competed in a Muay Thai fight ~ so she has that going for her, which is nice.

Well, the new frosh coming in offer length, strength, and athleticism - at least more than we have seen recently. Not sure what it means but it seems positive.

Better to set my expectations at the lowest levels so that I don't cry when we underperform (a la football).

Well at least we are consistent this year.
