At least, that's what one Cal fan thought when word leaked out that college football's confused Pinocchio had committed to their school.Too bad several coaches went on the record claiming he wasn't even a D-I talent. I don't mean to berate the kid here, I'm simply using coaches' evaluations to contrast with how excitable fans can get a commit that nobody had heard of and say things like:
*Kaboom!*And:
Yes I have seem him play. He's pretty good. Has college size, good skills. Good addition for Cal.And:
Sounds like a great young man with D1 size and attitude! Players from the rural areas don't get the stars from the recruiting services, but the right ones sure can play......hello Ryan O'Callahan, who'll be playing on Super Bowl Sunday.

1. The suffering has gone on longer than this idiotic episode. It's been 50 years since we've been to the Rose Bowl, everyone else has gone, USC, UCLA, Washington State, Washington, Arizona, etc., but not Cal.
Oh Lord, the pain is so great.
I should have gone to a local junior college like most of the readers on this blog.

2. As a point of correction........The University of Arizona Wildcats have NEVER been to the Rose Bowl. THe Arizona State Sun Devils have been there twice.
