Seriously, SEC folks need to chill out. There is no shame in losing to Cal. They have similar talent to Florida, and you would be a fool not to believe that. They are fast and their offensive line ruined Tennessee's defensive line. I know they breed em tougher down there, but they were outplayed, outcoached, outconditioned, and overmatched. I found it hilarious that fans out there based their impressions of Cal last year on an opening season game with a new quarterback in one of the most hostile venues in football. That one performance gave them carte blanche to castigate the entire conference expect USC and they assumed this year would be the same. Cal should have put up 50+ yesterday. All this garbage I heard about how Tennessee's backup QB was better than Longshore, how SEC tuffness was going to expose the California fairies, how Desean Jackson isn't that great ("He can only return TDs against weak pansy Pac-10 teams") and other typical diarrhea should be laid to rest, but it probably won't. I wonder if Les Miles would care to retract this statement? I'm not bitter at all about last year, I swear!
One other point: SEC fans always claim they are so dedicated, yet half of them walked out midway through the 4th quarter! I subjected myself to every minute of that debacle in Knoxville last year. What's up with that?
Ok, end of rant. Tennessee fans were great...had a great time out in Knoxville last year sans the loss, and they seemed to be enjoying themselves in Berserkeley.
