  1. Fong had some posts basically saying he showed up at Oregon and realized it just wasn’t for him and he regretted his choice. Headline: 18 year old makes impulsive decision, changes mind
  2. There is a bit more to it than that. He was locked into Cal and was set to sign and supposedly, Cal's current QB called him the night before and talked shit. Pissed off, he surprised everyone, including Oregon coaches, by signing with Oregon the next morning. Mendoza then promptly leaves Cal (why the fan base hates his guts now- leave if you want but fuck you for sabotaging on your way out) and JKS is in Oregon. Now Mendoza is gone and Cal has been backchannelling to have him come in anyways as a transfer. Oregon is spinning it that he saw the competition in Eugene and is leaving for Cal because he will start but Cal is getting a 2nd portal QB because they only have 2 QBs on scholarship currently and they both suck so it is not 100% guaranteed they hand him the ball day 1 (Devin Brown is being whispered about as the other guy). Did he see the Oregon QB room and decide to leave? Maybe. But Cal is "supposedly" where he wanted to go so its not a huge surprise if he goes back. All allegedly, of course.
  3. I'll be stunned if he doesnt go back to Cal with Mendoza gone
  4. That game was fucking harder than it should have been. Jesus
  5. Justice Finkley visiting Cal Jan 2-3. Would be a good fit there if that’s his choice
  6. Silly Fernando. Turned down Cal’s offer thinking he’d get a bigger bag… didn’t… talked about coming back to Berkeley but had burned too many bridges and some of his bag had been spent elsewhere… settles for less cash and chubby farm girls. Well done, Mendoza, well done
  7. He supposedly got a $1.5-2m offer from Indiana. Now Georgia is chasing him too…
  8. this libel of Helobious's efforts is getting to be too much. HE ONLY GIVES HANDJOBS TO DEFENSIVE TACKLES. None of this punter shit. You fuckers need to show him some respect
  9. At least it’s DTs and not like a punter or tight ends. DTs give you street cred. Not gonna lie, I’m a little jelly
  10. But but but he’s only a 3 star in reality! Ags are never wrong about these things
  11. seems pretty clear to me. Thank you for your service!
  12. its Indiana apparently. Been in the works for weeks and his brother is also there. Family loves Cignetti, etc. "Slight" upgrade in coaching I would think haha
  13. Cal QB, Fernando Mendoza, in the portal. Be shocking if he ends up anywhere but Miami
  14. I just called my bookie and put $10k on North Shore. Thanks Helo!
  15. Sturdivant has cratered since leaving Cal. Hard pass. Maybe a take for Texas State
  16. If he hadn't gotten that dumbshit fully guaranteed contract to keep Oregon from "poaching him" after going 5-7, he would've been gone already. Christ, to think the Ducks (allegedly) offered Wilcox the job which he turned down and then they offered Lanning blows my mind. Talk about dodging a bullet in Eugene... the landscape of college football would be plenty different if he had taken that job.
  17. Couple things... The university has taken over the stadium debt so it is off the ADs budget. Also, I was specifically referring to football when I say they have some money. There is recognition, belatedly, that the revenue sports have to thrive or the entire bloated 30 sport athletic department will come crashing down. I expect the bulk of the House $ requirement (once it gets sorted out in court) to be devoted to football with Men's bball getting most of the rest of the $20M a year. They SHOULD cut 7-10 sports but they wont and there is a big push to self fund the non rev sports. Golf just got it with the gift mentioned above. Rowing, Swimming, Rugby and Water polo are similar. Baseball and Women's bball are black holes. Baseball got saved by a single donor a few years back and that money is almost gone so we'll see what happens there.
  18. they are trying. The collapse against Miami was a killer, the floodgates would've opened if they had won that one but there are numerous holdouts because Wilcox sucks as a Coach CEO and there is a general lack of belief in him. But Cal cant afford to give him $15M to go away... 2025 will be his tipping point, ridiculously easy schedule but they need 15-20 transfers to bolster the OL and the entire Defense (losing 9 starters)
  19. Cal has more money than you think. It's not SEC money but there is decent $ there. Plus, lets not forget that sweet $10M Calimony for the next few years haha
