Is he simulating brandishing a weapon?

Lol true freshman transfer

Same thought I had. Doesn’t sound right.

Nah that was terrible, terrible-Koi

It seems like if there is ever a left handed QB anymore, he's of Polynesian descent. I know there are drastic differences in left handedness throughout the world - Mexico and Korea are like 2% and the US and most of Western Europe is like 12%.

Enrolled early at Oregon, wasn't given starting QB spot, so transferred to Cal?

Wild guess what happened

If you're Wilcox, I'm not sure how long your leash is. Maybe Brown isn't very good, but I am not sure his best move isn't to just play the best player.

Sounds like a team player and a locker room leader to me.

So much to unpack here. Spent a weekend at Oregon, left for Cal, did all of winter workouts/spring/fall ball, beat out Brown/Co, gets the starting job

Hasn’t even stood on the sidelines as a player yet and he’ll have to run an offense that lost its leader at basically every position. It’s almost the inverse of the CU/Indiana model.

He’ll get two cupcake games to warm up before us but I can’t imagine the offense will be humming by then. Feels more like a business decision from HC than a football one.
