Better (one week) late than never, right?
When the unthinkable happened—and the despicable Stanfurd Cardinal sentenced once–proud Golden Bear Troy Taylor to its role as Alistair H. Smarmsnobbery Director of Football-Related Operations and Activities—I immediately feared the prospect of a union between Taylor and then–running backs coach Ron Gould. Gould is one of the greats in the history of California Golden Bears Football, having coached legendary California luminaries like Joe Igber, Adimchinobe Echemandu, J.J. Arrington, Marshawn Lynch, Justin Forsett, Jahvid Best, Shane Vereen, Isi Sofele, and C.J. Anderson. The two together at that godforsaken Taco Bell would make an unholy union—both in terms of football IQ and the emotional pain of having two Cal greats soiled by their garb in that disgusting hue.
