The Fall of Cal Football
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 тра 2024
- At one point, it looked like California football was going to become a power house on the West Coast. They saw themselves ranked as high as number 2 in the nation in the mid-2000s and it looked like Jeff Tedford was building something special sending guys like Aaron Rodgers, Marshawn Lynch, Justin Forsett, and DeSean Jackson to the NFL. But since the late 2000s, this program has struggled and to stay in a power conference, they needed to take a paycut for television revenue which is going to set the program back even more. This is the Fall of Cal football, a once promising program turned nightmare.

The PAC 12 collapse is going to go down as one of the worst events in college football. I don’t think any of the 12 teams will truly end up better off from it
I guess the new big 10 members might be ok because of all the money that they’re going to get in TV deals, but outside of that it’s gonna be rough
I’m going to miss PAC 12 after dark! Living on the east coast it was awesome to have a Saturday night game start at 10:30
@@mattswormstedt7346that was the best part. After everything died down with the sec and big10 games from noon to usually 8-10 sometimes, then you get to finish it off with a crazy ass offensive game with almost no defense played. PAC-12 games were always so excited because you never knew who was going to win
@@mattswormstedt7346omg 😱 I didn’t even think of that ughhh
Same. The only hope we have now is that they do another realignment of the entire division and make conferences location based. This could happen with a split of the D-1A into Power and non-power teams
the only person who can save cal is me ncaa 25
I’m choosing Cal for my dynasty in CFB25.
The Bear would not quit, the bear would not die. One day Cal will rise again, if the alumni can rally around the football team we can pull off the greatest program comeback in history. NIL may well be a blessing in disguise for us Cal Fans. We have more wealthy alumni than any other school in the country. Coming 1 vote away from being relegated to the mountain west should show Bear fans everywhere that WE NEED TO DONATE. Every little bit counts let’s bring back Cal football, bring back west coast football, bring back bear territory.
Cal is in a financial mess right now, and it extends to the entire school. It literally has a top 4 computer science program in the world yet it is criminally underfunded. The same problem also applies to football
Omg, the special love they show to certain areas and abandoned others is just shocking. The law school building looks terrible compared to other buildings on campus
Cal’s been a financial mess for years tbh…
As a Cal fan i've been waiting for somebody to talk about them for about 3 years now and now that you finally have I'm so happy! I love your content keep up the good work and maybe talk about Cal more🤣
Do you think part of their problem is the fact that the academic standards are just too high to attract major talent?
@@Ryguy-lg2xz No not that
@@Bra_dy_1 I brought it up because it is pretty hard to get into UC Berkeley I’m saying this as a ducks fan by the way
It’s because no one wants to go to cal. They are a drought program that will never get back to where they were. And the academic requirement’s definitely hurts them in athletics
They don’t know how to recruit. They never prioritize the local recruits that get away. I can name 10 off the top of my head the last 2 years. Smh Tedford had ties every where in cali. They should’ve never let Jake Spavital leave to Baylor but you can’t blame him 🤷🏽♂️
When I first got into College ball in the early 200s Cal was tough!
200s your old!
@@Broncoscards7 Shit I'm like 1800!
Yea, when I first got here i was shocked on how little people care about their college teams here. I couldn't find promo for football anywhere except a couple ads here and there. Cal used to be daym good or at least an issue for really good teams.
As a lifelong Cal fan it’s really sad what this team has become
They’re on their way back. Mark my words. All depends on NIL tho, do the fans care enough to donate? It’s as simple as that
@@christopheryu1036 Fans shouldn’t be responsible for NIL deals schools still can’t pay the players but the Bay Area does have a lot of great sponsorship opportunities
Jesus, was this narrated by AI?
😂😂😂
I was one of the Willsey guys (64-67)! Cal's problem has always been at the AD level! However the collapse of the Pac 12, is another whole discussion. Too much to talk about in a text response. Somehow football on the West coast got killed...who and what is responsible!!
Jeff Tedford's only problem in 2012 was his top QB recruit (Jerod Goff) would commit to the school but for 2013. Otherwise that team would've been very good and bowl bound.
Mentioning Justin Forsett over Keenan Allen is crazy
We back this year
help turn this program around 🤞
We need a video about caleb Williams when he was with oklahoma
Agreed 👏
All these highlights are insane
I never liked Justin Wilcox and can't understand why he's still employed at $4.4M a year. It's ridiculous.
We are worse at Stanford
Gotta ride the financial stuff out, then look for gems in recruiting, from areas in the south you have access to now. If the grades are good enough to make it and their presents want them out of the surrounding area because of surrounding trouble, temptations, and distractions… come to Cal to focus and your folks can see you at one of the games close by.
Yo! Let's hear from the movers and shakers.. Who made these ridiculous decisions! As an old Blue who bled in Strawberry canyon, I would like some answer🎉s!
Honestly with exception of Fresno State and San Diego State, college football is dying in California even USC has bad attendance. That’s what happens when your school doesn’t emphasize a winning culture and your state keeps importing millions of people who care more about the other “football.”
Well yeah. They don’t need to emphasize football, they have world renowned academics.
It’d be great if they did emphasize it, but it’s not financially needed.
Trying to blame soccer and immigration for CFB not being as popular or valued in California is crazy lmfao it’s literally because NONE of the California teams are viable on a national level, when your best team is USC, that’s a problem. There are still plenty of Americans in California who care about CFB or Soccer or (shocker) both
It’s not the immigrant’s fault if usc can’t beat tulane and then proceed to go 7-5 with a generational qb
I will bring Cal to glory on CFB 25.
I just found out that Cal is the same university that they always refer to as Berkeley whenever you hear stuff about the hippy movement and radical left politics. I'm not here to be political, I just found that interesting.
Yes the full name is Univ of California at Berkeley
@@mjeezyca I'm surprised they didn't get rid of the football team a long time ago under the premise that football is violent.
cal is more abt political ideologies than sports. back in the 2000s when they were primetime it wasnt that bad plus tedford could recruit. now no one wants to play there unless they have no other choice. football is at the bottom of their list rn in terms of everything. too much politics, fake ivy league status, no financial support and now add in the nil, yeah cal is done for. cal was never meant to be a football powerhouse, what tedford did in the 2000s was amazing work.
It’s all because of those damn liberals in Berkeley… 😂😂😂
Cal is now a School for Activists and NPCs. They could care less about Football
Those people aren’t good at sports or anything physically demanding lol
Cal has been a school for activists since the 60s this is not a new development
@@nickfra okay did they burn shit down in the 60s? Ok smart guy
Got to work on your commentary skills. They’re lacking. Theres not enough base, too many skipped words, watch some Andy Hoops
Like listen to 15:14 to 15:16 you say “The Collapse of the PAC-12, Cal choose to join the ACC”
You’re supposed to say “With the the collapse of the PAC-12, Cal joined the ACC”
I think his mic is meh
Cal football brought to you by UCLA
