PrintWhew! So many posts and photos so far and we've barely scratched the surface. We haven't even gotten to any actual game action. Well, that is about to change. And it got underway pretty quick as Jahvid Best took a potential 5 yard loss and broke the tackle for a 60 yard run! Of course, it wouldn't have happened if this joke Daily Cal prank by Stanford had been accurate.

Damn those Stanfordites!
Luckily, that was just a prank and Best did razzle dazzle his way down the field.

Jahvid, you so dreamy! I think any RB prospect should think very seriously about coming to Cal. How many Tedford RBs are there in the pros now? Forsett, Lynch, Arrington. O'Keefe was there, too. Echemandu (sp?). Barring something crazzy, Best has a great shot. Maybe even Vereen, who knows? If Penn State is Linebacker U, I hope Cal can create a reputation for Running Back U.

Cal special teams players watch the ball roll to the 1 yard line. Bryan Anger is a GOD:

Fans were hoping for a safety at that point:
Instead they drove about 80 yards and settled for a missed field goal. But think about this. Without Angers punt, Stanford probably scores a TD. Huge punt. Just huge!
Riley gets taken down. This might be on that pass to himself, because I don't remember him scrambling much besides that:

It takes two men to tackle Gerhart:

Marry Me, Natalie:
Riley didn't have a lot of great passes on the day. Including one underthrown duck that got picked in the end zone. Frustrating. But he did have one perfect pass to Vereen down the sideline for a big gain and TD. The fans went CRAZZY!
A LOT of people went crowd surfing on Saturday. I mean that's what happens when you score that many points. Fun times!

Always remember, when there is a kick off, you spin your hat in the air. Spin the hat.

GOAL-LINE STAND! YOU SHALL NOT PASS

And that, my friend, is what a goal-line stand looks like.
And quickly, it was 10-3 at half:
Coming up, we have 2nd half action and the post-game sprawl on the field. What a great Big Game! Go Bears!

There seriously needs to be a guide for potential crowd-surfers to follow:
1) Lie flat and spread your limbs out so there is less weight per square inch (or some physics stuff like that)
2) Be light and easy to carry – not to be shallow, but if you’re a little heavier, it’s hard for people to carry you
3) Understand that you’re now prone to all sorts of illegal touching. Double if you’re a girl. Triple if you chose to wear close to nothing to gameday. Quadruple if your undergarments are visible.
4) Once you get dropped, go back to your seat. Don’t take a seat where you got dropped. It doesn’t work like that.
I’m sure I’m missing stuff – feel free to add to the list!
To be VERY shallow: if you’re a fatty, you will get dropped.

No crowd surfing if:
(1) You weigh weigh a lot – over 200 pounds.
(2) You’re not wearing a shirt, it’s hot, and you’re sweaty.
(3) You can’t keep your body straight and stiff.
When people who come towards me violate any of the above three rules, I merely step aside and let them fall. I’m evil. I know.

That is, by far, the least evil thing you’ve ever done!

5) Don’t crowd surf if the density of the section cannot support your weight. Even a tiny 60lb girl wouldn’t be able to crowd surf in a sparse section. Most sections can’t support a big guy. It’s really only sections S and SS (and sometimes RR) that can do it.
It's seriously too bad that there's no building or complex around that might have a large supply of sports drinks.
Back in the day
That is, back in the ‘80s, people didn’t “crowd surf”. Instead, they were “rolled up” as punishment for some sort of infraction. Sucking as the Mic Man could get you rolled up, as could just being an A-hole. But wearing something red was the most commonly punished crime.
Now, this was a time when Cal rarely drew more than 35,000 to a game, and a trip up the student section invariably ended in a painful crash on the splintered wood and concrete below. Perhaps as the landings have become softer with the denser crowds, what used to be feared is now welcomed?
Go Bears!

Somehow I managed to avoid getting rolled up myself. But it certainly wasn’t for lack of being an A-hole. One thing that hasn’t changed: leave your red at home, and you usually can get away with quite a bit before the rest of the Cal community turns on you.
Go Bears!

Roll 'em Up!
Thanks for the clarification, Cal Pete. I recall Rolling Up as a penalty as well. If some geek was wearing a red shirt or something, the entire student section would start the “Roll ’em Up!” chant. I wonder when the transformation from penalty to celebration, and the accompanying change from Rolling Up to Crowd Surfing happened?
Some traditions get assimilated, I guess.
Go Bears!
PS:
As I recall, the justification for this being a penalty was that the offender would literally be rolled-up the crowd and dumped over the edge, out of the stadium.
You know, sort of a mob version of a bum-rush.
Ahhh, the memories! :)
Go Bears!
The first I remember of ANY crowd surfing after a TD was in the 2001 USC game. We scored the first TD. Then, USC scored 55 unanswered points. Or so my memory informs me. Then, we were at like the 8 yard line and about to score. The micman, i think his name was Chad, was all “If we score here, lets act like we just won the National Championship.” Part of me remembers that Boller actually threw a pick, I dont know. But I do remember after some big play, the crowd (or at least what was left of it) going absolutely positively crazy and that was the first person to get rolled up.
But thats just my memory, perhaps it existed well before then, in a different form.

How much would it cost to get a jersey with that name printed on the back?
