  1. Speaking of Damonic Williams... apparently he put on a show at Alabama today.  I dunno how to embed tweets but...

    @CalFootball commit @DamonicWilliams at @AlabamaFTBL putting on a DT 2 gap clinic. This is most definitely 1 of the top DT’s of the 22 class. Don’t believe me ask his victims on the OL. So impressive Nick Saban came to watch him work. @adamgorney @BrandonHuffman @GregBiggins

    Why do you think he’ll be hard to pull from Cal? Unless he’s a legacy or has some other specific connection, I highly doubt he ends up there. 

    A lot of reasons... under Wilcox, Cal has been most successful recruiting specific personality types and Williams fits the profile to a T.  There has been a long time, strong mutual interest and Williams committed when the Cal coaches weren't even pushing him hard.  He has HS teammates on the team who have confirmed his impressions of the team culture as well.  He shut down, SC, Washington and Michigan early and has been all Cal for quite a while.  So is it possible he moves on?  Sure but I'll believe it when I see it.

    The tape on Damonic Williams is very good. He is strong and quick. He seems like a recruit that we would very much want. 

    He seems massively underrated to me.  I think he'd be tough to pull from Cal based on the relationships and the love he's shown but who knows.  Cal coaches told him and Justyn Martin (their other commit 4* QB that Michigan and others seem to be drooling over) to go check other places out if they wanted because Covid fucked up their recruiting experience.  We'll see how that works out for them...

    So just re-watched the extended highlights and I knew Ream was bad watching live, but he was way worse 2nd viewing. I say it all the time, but I have no idea what type of blackmail Ream has on the previous 3 or 4 coaches to keep getting the amount of run he does. Chris Richards is going to have to take that spot or we are in trouble. 

    I'll own up to the CP call I made. I thought he looked tired in his last 3 or 4 Chelsea matches and he looked tired here as well. I know he wasn't getting much of the ball, but Gio was dealing with the same issues and was very influential when he was in. Glad he came through in the clutch and buried the PK. 

    Ream was never good at this level so I agree, he must have dirt on USSF masterminding a puppy murdering kennel or something (wait, sorry...he's there for his "experience").  We've never seen the level of talent the US currently possesses but one area with zero depth is CB.  Brooks may last til '26 and Richards is an extremely exciting prospect.  But past them?  Long...meh and currently crippled.  Miazga...meh.  MacKenzie...meh.  List of MLS level CBs with limited potential (Zimmerman et al)...meh.  Palmer-Brown and Carter-Vickers have yet to kick on.  Maybe Otasowie who is an interesting prospect but might be more DM than CB?

    I get wanting to play 3 at the back because of Dest because so far he has shown to be hopeless in a back 4.  But you have to have the horses to do that and the US doesn't.  Maybe Dest needs to play wide like Fabian Johnson did.  Johnson was a fullback if I remember right and ended up playing mostly winger for the US (or was it the other way around?).  Anyways, 3 at the back is for Dest but find some fucking CBs to make it palatable.

    YOU CANNOT DENY HIM LIKE THAT THAT IS A CLEAR FUCKING PEN!!!!

    I thought the 2nd Mexican player got a piece of the ball first but I guess not

    Can someone please explain what was going on the last few minutes of stoppage time?

    Mexican fans have a tradition of chanting homophobic words and they have been getting in trouble more and more.  There now is a rule to stop the game if it happens but they give zero fucks...even though it pisses off the Mexican players big time.
