My vote is Marshawn because he is uniquely loved in our minds and the minds of the football public. My second would be Goff, just as another home town boy who has done great recently and would be articulate about Why Cal? My dark horses would be Alex Mack or Cam Jordan. It's all good!
Shane Vereen, who was the PAC-12 Network’s go-to guy on game days, wouldn’t be a bad choice. But I think the options for most entertaining come down to Marshawn, Lawrence Ross (Cal Superfan who’s been a very entertaining guest on Locked On ACC), Chris Pine and finally, tho’ it could be a lightning rod and he might say something incendiary-Aaron Rodgers. But I love Jared Goff and would be happy for him to be featured. He might actually be insightful on how Cal can overcome its inconsistency on offense. But I’m just stoked for the pageantry featuring Cal and likely will be happy with whoever is chosen.
Any of them would be fabulous, but especially Alex Morgan or Marshawn Lynch, two of the most famous that anyone would recognize, and whom ordinary people may not associate with Cal.
Why wouldn't it be Marshawn? This can only be good for Beastmode as well as good for Cal. I gotta think also, if Jared ain't busy on Saturday he's likely taken notice of this once in a football era situation for his alma mater. And of course we can chant like they did in Ann Arbor. My money is on BOTH showing up!
More than likely it will be Lynch or Goff. Both of them would be great choices. Goff might be better in terms of recruiting as he is an active player. Lynch would be great for entertainment and east bay roots.
Goff is better known now in Midwest/East and with younger fans- I agree on recruiting front he may be more bang for buck as our picker. Plus most of east coast doesn’t know Goff went to Cal, would be great to make that connection (same with Tony G). But I REALLY hope Marshawn is given a couple special highlights throughout the show, sorta like a certain celebrity at the Olympics.
Reading this I remain so giddy about the entire prospect I'm not too worried about who it ends up being...all good choices and many excellent ones (...please let it be Marshawn, please let it be Marshawn). A left field idea, a panel of our Nobel's. Perlmutter, Doudna, etc. Get at least three up there and have them goof on how they scientifically arrive at their choices. Epic

Marshawn is the only right answer. He is the East Bay. He’s also sets the highest entertainment bar.
My money is on Jared Goff
Perfect timing, after his perfect performance. He’s got the bye week

Not for picker, but maybe a CRSPR package with a football mashup analogy like conference reconfigurations. Is that Cal nerd or what, ha.

How about one of our Nobel winners?

Both please for sure!
I'm pretty sure Goff will be visiting if he has a bye week.
Tom Holmoe. Count it.
William Hung?
Throwback right there!

I don't know. Goff is awesome but he's just one of the starting QBs in the NFL. Lynch is a retired but has more fans than Goff.
