Vereen to go to NFL
(Written by kencraw)
Shane Vereen has decided to go to the NFL.
Of course no one is shocked by the news, but I’m a bit surprised. Of course the fact that he’s finished his degree has a lot to do with it, but I just had a gut feeling that he felt like he had unfinished business and wanted to go out with a bowl win. Apparently not.
In any case, Vereen, you were a great Golden Bear and we’ll always remember your work ethic, your team-centered attitude and your fantastic athletic ability. Good luck in the NFL.
Update: Here is the official Cal release.

Just once I’d like to see one of these “is he going to stay or leave” guys actually stay. I don’t blame Vereen or anyone else one bit for going to the NFL, but from a Cal fan perspective it would be nice if one of these guys stuck around for the betterment of the team and the program. Just imagine what 2005 would have been like if Rodgers stayed behind. Meanwhile, I’m reading that Luck is going to stay at the ‘furd.
Man, it’s been a really tough few months of being a Cal FB fan. Guess I could say the same for most of my life as a Cal fan outside of the past decade.
