For the normal fan…this rejuvenates their fandom for basketball.

Let’s admit it, those of us on this board are a little more into things than the normal run of the mill fan…I dunno how many texts I woke up to this morning from folks asking, “Is this real” “Are you shitting me” type of texts.

All they know is normal, everyday life and they’ve been in the dumps for about 3-4 days. But now, they’re excited as hell.

I admit…I’ve hated Cal since his days at UMass…but I guess I’ll like him now.

Everyone throwing shite at him the past 48 hours looks pretty stupid right now.

If we're being honest here, Johnny Tyson made this hire.


That's my point. HY is opposed to NIL and now all of a sudden he hires Cal and works out a $6MM NIL fund? No way I'm believing that.

Hopefully the boosters are already zeroing in on a new football coach.

I know how you guys like sauces but I got word on Thursday that we had a coach. Considering the info coming out about Tyson it seems Cal was the target all along…the rest was all fluff

Eh, I’m inclined to believe it’s more analogous to the Petrino hiring in 2007 wherein we got spurned by Grove, Tuberville and Bowden and Petrino fell to us through providential circumstances.

The likeliest scenario is that we targeted and negotiated with Beard and Tang and both leveraged us for money and additional guarantees from their school, and Yurachek was left holding his dick in his hands and got thrown a lifeline by Johnny Tyson.

Ive hated Cal since i was a kid but all is forgiven at the moment.

His hiring does more for the program than any coach in history. Just turn on a sports program today and see what they talk about.

I suspect they will do an interview with him during the national championship tonight as well.

Then throw in recruiting. Watch how fast this roster is rebuilt. We will get a good mix of freshman and portal experience.

Wondering if any of our former roster will try to withdraw. They may not be afforded that opportunity.

If it is true that Beard wouldn't sign a deal that would prevent him from leaving for 2-3 years, then hunter did us a favor by walking

Eh...maybe Blocker...having watch a number of Cal teams over the years, Mark doesnt really fit in to a Cal offense.

Devo LOL.

If this is true, we're about to be loaded with 5 star NBA talent. You've got tons of NBA players tweeting about him, it's everywhere on the national news.

The guys he lands go for him, not Kentucky.

He's a huge brand.

Glad for the couple of good tourneys he had here, but other than those, he will be forgotten soon. Maybe he can go to San Francisco or something he a think out there.
