After thought I know coach wilcox gets a lot of flack but please understand the program as a whole is a lot better than than he inherited, academics, culture, infrastructure, modernizing with one hand tied because a inept AD and no true backing ijs we should be grateful to be bowling 3 years in a row and have our savior qb ( he also recruited a no star qb into a heisman ) who came because he believed in Wilcox. It’s okay to love Tosh but not be disrespectful to a man who was loyal to the soil , go bears 🐻
Indiana were literally THE worst program. They had 713 losses, more than any other program, and were 3-9 the year before Cignetti arrived. Cal are definitely in better shape than they were.
In my opinion, Duke should be in. What's the point of winning your conference or even having a conference championship game (aside from money, obviously) if it has no actual bearing on the field of 12?
Mendoza is throwing passes to Jonathan Brady in the Big 10 championship game. This is the first time I'm watching Mendoza this year. He looks pretty much the same as Mendoza I've known for the past 3 years. Surprised that he's a potential #1 NFL pick. Good for him.
We get to enjoy JKS because Mendoza transferred. Turned out to be blessing in disguise
Last year JKS flipped commitment and Mendoza transferred and everything went downhill. JKS ended up at Cal and he turned out to be just as good, if not better than Mendoza, but the team lost all the surrounding skill players.
This year JKS stays and will attract a lot of talent at skill positions. What a turnaround.
That is even more impressive. I assumed he used the same plane they flew to Berkeley from Eugene. I'll bet he told them to send his family back on that and said Southwest is good enough for me.
I tracked that flight. It seems to be usually flying Scottsdale AZ and Westchester NY. It flew to Eugene for that one trip, and it immediately flew back to Scottsdale after it landed in Oakland and dropped off Lupoi family. The family might have flown back in a private jet, but not the same one. I looked it up because I wondered if the university owned a private jet, but it looks like they don't.
So now we have a highly-credentialed coach in place, a two-time NFL coach of the year to mentor him, a University adminitration that (finally) understands the link between a successful football program and alum engagement and the best freshman qb in the country coming back for his second year. I'd say a pretty good recipe for success. Buckle up Cal fans!
I don't know how many will enter the transfer portal because this team is going to be better next year so why would anyone want to leave? But we'll need to make room to bring in alot of talent via the transfer portal. We'll see how it goes.
The Lupoi Era is off to a great start! Keep up the good work!
Was Tosh involved with recruiting JKS to Oregon?

We all love Wilcox. Most comments are appreciative of what Wilcox did for us.
can the season start already I'm ready to be the best team in the atlantic coast
Indiana is proof positive that the right coach can completely change a program.
Indiana were literally THE worst program. They had 713 losses, more than any other program, and were 3-9 the year before Cignetti arrived. Cal are definitely in better shape than they were.
Let's hope Tosh hires good coordinators and puts together an O-line reminiscent of the Alex Mack days to protect our loyal quarterback!
let's go. Target #2 Tosh! Reel them in!
Ummm... were we indirectly responsible for knocking the ACC out of the CFP picture?
Miami gets in. ND and BYU out.
In my opinion, Duke should be in. What's the point of winning your conference or even having a conference championship game (aside from money, obviously) if it has no actual bearing on the field of 12?
Let’s knock every one else out next year and take the spot!
So happy to see so many new faces here posting. Hopefully this is just the beginning of a majestic swell!
Agreed!
Duke winning this acc title is pure chaos 😂😂😂😂😂
Duke winning the ACC championship would be an unmitigated disaster for the conference
Guess what? 😂
Disaster. Only hope for the ACC is the committee likes Miami resume better than Alabama (which they won’t)
Irish got screwed. SEC controls the process
😂😂😂

FWIW, I am happy for Mendoza and hope he gets the Heisman (and credits Cal for helping him get there…)
Mendoza is a lock to win the Heisman, the only question is how close to unanimous it will be.
I am happy for him too and I was rooting for him all game yesterday.
Is it true Nando was mean or something to jks I heard rumblings of some discourse
No

I am so pumped.
Also one question - why is JKS in Hawaii rn? Last week of classes b4 dead week. Hit the books Jaron!!!!
He went to support his HS play championship game.
And they won for the first time ever!
Which is what your literal million-dollar players can do now that ama-something status is a relic of the past. You study in First Class, brah.
“You study in First class, brah”
New motto for star players. 😂
Esp. for Cal players who, by virtue of being in a conference based clear across the continent, are flying way more than most.
Hah! Consider this: The day is coming when going to the NFL will represent a pay cut for some.
Or charter
Clifford good use and dictation on brah👌🏾
What makes this even crazier is that he took a commercial flight to get this done.

I was pretty confident that Cal did not own a private jet. I guess if it’s Cal, that would make it a public jet!
Everything is going so well for us that it's scary.
Everything's coming up <so>Millhouse</so> Cal!
Keep running at that football Charlie Brown. This time Lucy won't pull pull it. I'm sure!

don't forget the millions of NFL coaches that are apparently coming...
and the hot transfers taht Lupoi will reel in...
announcements that donor and NIL rising due to Lupoi and JKS recommitting...
stanfurd deciding it's not good enough and being absorbed into CAL...

Great problem to have!
