For a few years of Aaron Rodgers’ pro career, he shunned Cal football. Rodgers did not like how they handled things with his former coach Jeff Tedford. As we know with Rodgers, who is the king of the petty, excluded Cal from his NBC intro. He said “Butte Community College” with no mention of Cal, and they asked him about it at some point leading to Rodgers explain it is due to the Tedford situation. Now, things have changed in the last three years with the hire of Justin Wilcox. Rodgers is a big fan of the former Wisconsin defensive coordinator. He showed it in a major way this week by hooking up the Golden Bears with a brand new locker room. It looks completely sick.

Oooooooooooooohhhh!

This is a really nice gesture from Rodgers. It seems like they did a great job with it. All of the players were so excited to get an upgrade versus what they had before and seemed super grateful. Nike seemed to include some new shoes as well, or that was Rodgers influenced as well yet who knows since he’s an Adidas guy. It is cool to see Rodgers reunite with Cal and be part of the program again versus shunning them. I’m sure Cal is pleased too as they’re cash-strapped and can use any sort of donation. Golden Bears take on UC Davis this Saturday.
