i wish we as fans n alums can observe how the coaches prepare these kids. i mean how can we be this bad??? seems like no accountability on the coaches. and knowlton is completely silent which i dont get. gosh i wish i had a job where i can screw so bad and still be employed
wilcox n staff are so well done . time 4 a change such a shame we have such great institution a great city. we have talented players that were recruited at some level and coaches cant figure it out
I said we're ending this season losing 8 have in a row, and I'm standing by it. Wilcox is about to tank the program with his inaction. We we're waiting for this promising youth on offense to make it to the field. They've shown us everything we hoped for, and the coaches have failed them. I don't blame any of them for transferring after this season.
Kai Millner should take all the remaining snaps this year. With no bowl game possible, the UCLA and Stanford games have to have several goals:
Player development for next year
Not losing players to the transfer portal (Ott in particular)
More aggressive offense play calling
Anything less loses alumni support, impedes recruitment, induces Cal to look ant the transfer portal (which will further stifle the rebuilding of the program) and, if actions have consequences, should result in coaching changes.
Embarrassing...Team seems to have no leaders. The assistant coaches look like dead men walking. Cal's effort made me vomit in my mouth. Never seen them worse...
I see the :mailto links on the ad website now link to nothing for at least Knowlton.
LMFAO
“We pride ourselves on being completely transparent **”
** Unless of course you’re complaining about us. Then we don’t want to hear it. **
This is ludicrous that Chryst is allowing this to occur at the flagship of the biggest public education system in the world.
If nothing else they should all be fired simply for the FTX deal. What are we 3rd graders in a basement? You trust a crypto exchange that’s entire valuation is based on a debased digital asset spending 90% of the revenue they managed to cook onto their books on ridiculous nft ads to remain viable through the length of a 10 year 20 million dollar contract.
Wilcox can't figure it out. Why wasn't Kai Milner playing in the 4th qtr. the game was over! Plummer drops his head in defeat in the 3rd qtr. coming off the field? 2nd quarter third and short, Wilcox did it again rb up the middle three yards back. Why not a qb sneak? Just one yard! This is a wrap Bear territory! Troy Taylor is 10-0, cut loses and move on to greener pastures!
Get a young and upcoming coach, 30-35 years old. Maybe African American. Give him the keys to the football enterprise and see what he can do. The aging white man status quo won't cut it but likely any candidates Knowlton picks from the consultants will fit the aging retread, tired man profile. Like execs in a poorly run company they can blame the consulting firm if something goes wrong. "It wasn't my idea it was McKinsey's"
So what is engineered diversity? Is that like like a lab developed vaccine to counteract a disease, versus natural immunity and hoping that the disease ends that way? And the social disease I'm talking about is a social system of racism where white men were disproportionately advantaged in terms of access to higher education, particularly when it comes to Cal.
Welp. I think there needs to be a natural change in culture for change to have any meaning. I taught school and never forced students to say the Pledge of Allegiance, since a forced pledge is meaningless. Likewise, forcing people into circumstances for which they may not be truly ready is equally meaningless.
Oh, and is it just white men that are "advantaged"? Especially at Cal? Are white males even a majority there, now?
Forced diversity is like making hot house roses that never endure outside their bubble.
This is pretty much the same argument that segregationists (and slaveholders before) gave as a reason for not forcing them to desegregate or end slavery. They said that the system of inequity would die out over time, just give them time. Spoiler alert, they weren't going to change. Need evidence? Check out the voter suppression laws targeting Black people.
As part of this reasoning, what you're asking me to do is accept inequity as a part of life, and that the goodness of society would eventually change it. Which then means that I would readily accept second class citizenship until the good graces of people with first class citizenship feel it's cool to change.
Absurd.
Also, no one said that "just white men" are advantaged. That's a straw man argument. And it doesn't matter about myopically looking at today's Cal campus. We can just take a good 80 years or so, and see how the GI Bill created a white American middle class with degrees, and excluded Blacks from being qualified for the same GI Bill. And to go deeper, how redlining kept Blacks from gaining wealth at the same rate as whites. What does that have to do with education?
Property taxes fund K-12, which then means that Blacks and Latinx have been at a structural and educational disadvantage to this day in California, which Prop 209 codifying it over the past 30 years.
And none of this was done because people just HAPPENED to create these policies to benefit white Californians. They were done specifically to benefit white Californians and their children when it came to the UC system.
So yes, that is a system engineered to benefit some people and exclude others. And just saying "Stop it" doesn't mitigate the disparities, particularly on the Cal campus.
Spoiler alert: people have natural differences and good intentions will not change that. I do not disagree that there has been systemic racism, but programs such as affirmative action is fighting racism with, uh, racism, essentially preferring one race over another. Depositing African-American students, regardless or grades or test scores, into Cal and expecting success was absurd.
Cal, as an example, is a straw man argument? Well, I think a white male majority at Cal began its decline back in the 1970s and that was largely because of merit-based admissions. The SATs remain one of the most accurate predictors of success in college, but SAT scores are certainly not equal.
And, when you say "white," please realize you are lumping together a diverse group of people in themselves.
Fun Fact: Many northern Europeans do not consider all southern Europeans, not to mention those of Middle Eastern origin, "white." So who are these "white men" in business, media, and academic institutions suppressing non-whites? I suspect there are details here that might paint a less unified "white" picture.
But, yes, years and years of Jim Crow and Klan intimidation have left an imprint on our our minds and we tend to think of the oppressor as the stereotypical southern-fried aristocrat when the reality is multinational corporations want to replace both Europeans and Africans with someone else or something else. Someone or something else that needs less freedom and will do as they are told or programmed.
But the fact that we stand here, pitted against one another helps our would-be overlords to divide and rule.
IMHO.
BTW- doesn't this conversation come up every time our football season becomes a dumpster fire. Yes, it's a great distraction from the pain of being a Cal fan.
What a disappointing season. Skill receivers and Ott and it all goes to shit because the line sucks and musgrave can’t scheme or they refuse to let a more mobile QB play…ugh

Ughh.

Tired of rooting for "nothing" Team doesn't appear to have any leaders...coaches or players. Pretty ugly all the way around

this is a top down revenue sports culture issue.
Knowlton needs to go. It's not a UC thing (see UCLA).
I feel nothing.
Rate the game? Does "pure dogshit" sum it up well enough?
Almost.
Actually it is a burning bag of the former by somebody's front door.
I see the :mailto links on the ad website now link to nothing for at least Knowlton.

I say again, who is driving this boat?
A flagship, yes, but one with a wrap-around porch so Christ can stay away from the revenue sports.

Az poised to upset UCLA...
And they do...
Does this mean that we have a chance to beat FUCLA?

Conference cannabilism
Sad faced Bear. Just sad.
AD won’t go because our chancellor is focused on diversity and other woke bs
Fox and Wilcox would like a word here as they are the antithesis of diversity and part of the status quo problem.
Get a young and upcoming coach, 30-35 years old. Maybe African American. Give him the keys to the football enterprise and see what he can do. The aging white man status quo won't cut it but likely any candidates Knowlton picks from the consultants will fit the aging retread, tired man profile. Like execs in a poorly run company they can blame the consulting firm if something goes wrong. "It wasn't my idea it was McKinsey's"
Diversity, thats the problem….
Hmm...so you think diversity is bs?
Engineered diversity? IMHO, yes. Organic diversity, for example, diversity that occurs naturally, IMHO no b.s.
Too much social engineering makes a community as flawed as a clone.
So what is engineered diversity? Is that like like a lab developed vaccine to counteract a disease, versus natural immunity and hoping that the disease ends that way?

Okay.
So when we will be equal?
Spoiler alert: people have natural differences and good intentions will not change that.

How does an underqualified old white man count as diversity? Knowlton is the status quo
The very example of a mediocre white man. But that isn't even questioned. Cause...ya know...diversity.
Fox and Wilcox hires are part of the status quo problem.
Fox is the definition of a mediocre white man not allowed to actually fail and failing up.
Wilcox, while not as bad a hire as Fox was still a reach in terms of his qualifications for be a HC at a P5 program.
What a disappointing season. Skill receivers and Ott and it all goes to shit because the line sucks and musgrave can’t scheme or they refuse to let a more mobile QB play…ugh
