Tennessee fans going to Cal should have fun this weekend

Get a few thousand Jack Daniels infused Volunteer fans and things just might get interesting in Berkeley.

Fence them in:

I hope some TN fans exercise their 2nd Amendment rights just for this one day...

Better yet, hopefully the Tennessee fans will have booked rooms in hotels in San Francisco. With the Bay Bridge closed this weekend, they would have some difficulty getting to the game in time. Gee, that would be a shame. :lol:

They are giving megaphones to the first 50,000 Cal fans. Should be a great game. Cal needs to redeem themselves after last year.

It looks like the hounds have already treed the prey, now they just need to cut the trees down.

Please Cal, please don't embarrass the PAC 10 again.

I have no defence for my alma mater. Tonight there was no defence on either side and all I can hope it that this is one more nail in the proverbial coffin of Coach Philip Fulmer.

Go Vols! Beat the Southern Miss Golden Eagle... I hope!

Seriously? We lost to Cal? I smell a contract extension and another year of apathy.

Atleast it's not a conference game loss...

Southern Miss will not be an easy game. Jeff Bower is a great coach, and I am always shocked that another school does not go after him.

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.

Cal's return man is sick, reminds me of Hester with his speed...but he can change directions like no one's business. U-Tennessee is still ridiculously slow...and ugly.

Unless Cal can do something about USC...they're in for another SWEET Holiday Bowl.

I wouldn't start comparing Cal to Florida just yet. Maybe USC to Florida. Or App State :lol:

I was fighting a brutal head cold this weekend which allowed me 12 hours on the couch that started with the Tebow Era @ noon and ended after midnight with the Cal/UT game.

After watching that game i'm sold on cal, have some of the best athletes in the country. I'm not at all sold on the Pac 10 (but my opinion on that was not formed by 1 game last year). I am really looking forward to the Cal/USC game.

I also think the UT/Cal game was a great game, not as one-sided as it seemed at the end. Ainge did as much as he could with a broken finger, could not go down field at all. UT's return man was equally as impressive to me (to say i was very impressed by both). The freshman RB for Cal with the crazy legs is going to make a name for himself in college football.

My favorite part of the weekend:

ESPN's sideline reporter up on Tightwad Hill when Herbstreit joked about bringing a keg up replied, "Don't worry, there is plenty of 'partying' up here - Berkeley-style. I better leave before I get arrested." That's maybe the first real positive contribution to a broadcast I've ever heard from a sideline reporter.

By the way, Cal is coming to Ft. Collins this weekend. Here's hoping the boys can keep the Bears under 50.
