This 1st part I put on FB last night...
As I head to bed with my Cal pj's it feels a lot like Christmas Eve. Tomorrow is Nation letter of Intent day for college football recruits. It will be like Christmas for the "Cal Football Nation" because the gifts (athletes) are under the Cal tree & even if you think you know what your getting there may be a few surprises. What makes it different from Christmas is that other schools can take your presents and put them under their tree. Stay Tuned!
Update this morning...
I woke up this morning and ran downstairs. I looked under the Cal tree and saw a bright shiny red bike, a Red Ryder Carbine-Action 200 air rifle with a compass, a new 360/PlayStation 3, an I-pad -- what else could a kid would want?
Cal, as of 11 am, has the 10th ranked class by Rivals.com, the #1 recruiting site in the nation. What is even more impressive is that Cal has the #1 and #5 defensive ends in the nation. They have 3 of the top 10 -- 1 more in the top 20 linebackers -- in the nation. Both ranked #1 in class. Cal signed the #1 safety who was a verbal to Alabama, plus added some pretty good corners. I think, without a doubt, the #1 def class in the nation.
What does all this mean? I don't know. I can shoot myself in the eye while riding my bike, and crash into the 360/Playstation 3. Everything broken, and I'm on the ground crying (see Cal quarterback situation the past 3 years). It could also mean that in the next few years I could be living my dream and heading down to Pasadena.
Now that would be the best Christmas of all!!!
PS: Look for the next post late tomorrow: Top 10 commercial pitchmen you won't see on Super Bowl Sunday.
Cowboys suck!
ReplyDeleteAll those years watching sports together in our youth, and I never realized that you were such a big Cal fan. Good luck with the recruits; I hope it works out for you!
ReplyDeleteI don't know the Yahoo who is posting the "Cowboys Suck". They don't! I wish they did so we would not have a Bum (Jr.) for a head coach. The fact that we still have Wade and Tony (I left my heart in SF) at Qb, we won't go to the Super Bowl.
ReplyDeleteMaybe say the cowboys were just good enough to save the head coach but that is it. We may not win a Super bowl but just think what movie night looks like on a 60 yard tv.
