At the risk of bringing down hellfire and brimstone, am I the only one with an odd, unfamiliar feeling of optimism?

July 4th marks precisely two months until a full return to Memorial Stadium as the 2021 season begins. Meanwhile, summer is full of freshly minted Cal Olympians, newly committed 4 star recruits, newly agreed upon sponsorship opportunities, and the successful launch of a new initiative to support Cal athletes:

There are times when I worry that I stray too far into pessimism when it comes to Cal sports and the Cal athletic department, but for the first time in a while there’s a bit of long term hope in the air. The football team is well on their way to a second straight top 4 recruiting class in the Pac-12. Cal athletics has gotten out in front of a major change in the college sports landscape and might actually be a leader in the brave new world of NIL rights.

I hope you enjoyed a long weekend of celebration and nice weather. I hope that, like me, you’re feeling a bit of optimism about Cal sports. Congrats on making it 3/4 of the way through the college football off-season - fall camp is just around the corner!

Is Media Day happening in person this year? I've been way out of the loop lately.

Right now we're undefeated, so of course I'm optimistic!
