What Type of Wine is Cal Football?

by BearsNecessity on Jul 27, 2008 5:27 PM PDT

Wrote this up over at The Bear Insider, and figured the question might be an interesting way to pass what's left of the dead season of July. The answer so far range from various Cabernets to the awesome Bearitage.

EDSBS Live had this radio special from a few weeks back dedicated to wine analogies for football teams, and I figure there are enough old-timers here who have enjoyed their fill of the finer liquors of life to have some awesome responses. So I present these four questions to you Bear Insiders. Here are some sample answers from an Ole Miss fan.

What Type of wine is your football team?

Your best vintage year, describe in wine-y terms.

Robert Parker reviews your arch enemy (take your pick here: Stanford, USC, UCLA, anyone but Portland State). Go.

Describe yourself in wine terms. "Subtly brilliant in small doses, unbearably pungent and incredibly vexatious in larger quantities. Only truly appreciated by the insane and drug addicted." If you knew me, it'd make sense.

The opinions expressed in a FanPost are, in every way, reflective of the opinions of every California Golden Blogs Marshawnthusiast. Moreover, they are reflective of every employee of SBNation, including Tyler "Blez" Bleszinski.

I'm still wondering why the Nets didn't draft Leon Powe.

That's easy

Has to be a ‘big’ California cab from 2004. 2004 is one of California’s best vintages in its entire history. (sounds familiar).

... this sounds like us..

From spirits magazine:
“Middle deep color, very compelling old-school aroma of earth, hay and fruit. Complex on the palate, hinting of many things that just can’t possibly be in the glass! Surprisingly pleasant now for something that seems to really want to age.”

... an outfuckingstanding team!

From Cork’d:
“Earth & Leather & that sagey smell you get on a hot day in the valley. An outfuckingstanding Cab.”

then again… there’s always this:

I don't know

but based on last year’s performance I’d have to say right now Cal is like Mott’s Apple Juice.

don't know anything about wine, but...

If it’s anything like the 2007 Bears, it will have an exhilarating attack, but a sour finish.

if dongshore is starting might as well be vinegar.
