Takje off – last year we were rated last in the Pac 12 (Apc 10 ) in recruting-that’s why I say we are going downhill. We will see next year.

This year we are going to the NCAAs in part because the conference is horrid.

Jason Kidd’s domestic problems are long gone and if you read every court document you might see he was just as much the victim.

This isn’t a popularity contest- Im sure you were in agreement with YOdas’ comments comparing Cal and IU. If I wanted to be popular I would just post “Go cal” and nothing else and it would resonate well with your limited analytical abilites. To say Monty could recruit in the same league with Kidd is foolish at best.

Pretty funny stuff Steve. I’d love to just ignore but I’m pumped up for the game and I have to wait around, so I’ll mock you instead.

How is Cal “going in the wrong direction” by competing for a second conference title in 3 years, having the conference freshman of the year last year, and probably the best transfer this year? We replaced our one lost player (MSF) with a better post player plus a solid transfer guard. Yes, you whined constantly on this board about how the lone recruit Kravish was the worst class in the conference according to rivals. Whine whine whine. I explained, very simply for you, that we only had 1 scholarship and had a solid big guy with Kravish. So with only 1 spot to fill, of course we wil ve low in recruiting rankings. This point was very very hard for you to grasp.

Now we are in position to win a title and you post more whining negative crap.

Jason Kidd said hello to you so he’d be a good coach? Are you 13 years old? That’s really one of your reasons?

I saw every single home game Jason Kidd played at Cal and followed his career closely. I’m not going to trash Kidd (and thus Cal) on a Cal board like you do, but I’ll just say there are more than a few problems with his intelligence and also there have been domestic issues. Nothing about Jason Kidd makes him a more attractive coaching option than Monty. As long as you continue to post crap that Monty is not a good coach, everyone else here will continue to make you look foolish.

Seriously, fire Monty and hire Jason Kidd? Please root for The Furd today it will help the Bears.

Steve, I find your jk obsession flawed for numerous reasons but the biggest is:
>>>but aspiring players would love to learn his court vision.>>>
You can’t “learn” court vision. You either have it or you don’t. It’s like foot speed and vertical, all the work in the world will only increase it incrementally. As opposed to strength, endurance, learning and implementing defensive fundamentals that dedicated grinders can make significant improvement.
Go Bears. Time to push through the doldrums of late. Pac 12 Title is yours for the taking. Beat furd!

This – I am a fan of each school I attended. As they play in different conferences -there’s not much of a conflict (cept in 1990). This includes some smaller schools as well – Sam Houston and UTEP both having bad years.

Jason Kidd– Takeoff as you presumably went to Cal you should be able to articulate a bit better why you think Jason Kidd would be ridiculous as coach when he retires.
I would argue;
1. We would instantly become one of the top recruiting schools in the country;not only because of his fame but aspiring players would love to learn his court vision.

2. His experience and he’s seen careers start and finish 20 years in college and pro basketball.

3. He loves Cal – a few of my friends saw him in an airport and one yelled “Go Cal” and he came over and chatted.

4,. If he coached at Cal he more than likely would be still there when he is inducted into the NBA Hall of Fame – more positive publicity for us.

5. He would also have an advantage recruiting asst coaches., he could certainly find other NBA players but everyone would be attracted to him.

6. He would help fill Haas- he’s that much of an attraction.

Ok so the arguments against?

Steve: You’re an IU fan who lives in Texas and posts on a Cal board. Get some help.

I know the Bears can beat Furd. Let’s do this. Go Bears!!

Cal does have the best softball team in the country and we are undefeated- I love that and when they play in the CS World Series all the games will be televised.

Yes Yoda I watched at least part of the Colorado Cal game – it played one day later. If Cal was a ranked team – I would get the chance to see them a bit more often.

Now YODA let me ask you one. A year ago when I was pointing out Cal’s horrible recruiting and predicted Cal was going in the wrong direction. YOu YODA were quick to point out that they were doing a lot better than INDIANA. I told you give IU a couple of years- you scoffed at that too.

One year later are you smart enough to know just how dumb you are?
