Around SBN: MLB Trade Rumors: Edwin Jackson to the White Sox, DC next?

Maryland Sucks!

That's right. You said "Cal Sucks!" one too many times for this Golden Bear. So, Maryland Sucks! Oh yeah, it's on now. We'll beat your ass in Berkeley next year just like Tennessee. Please stop punching me.

What was the final score on that Stanford TCU game, anyways?

Star-divide

I don't know if y'all heard that it was hot and humid. Well, it was. Thankfully my day started inside the air-conditioned CAA tailgate on campus.

Dsc_0033_medium

When I was in band we memorized the entire packet. For fun.

There were like 500 Cal fans and Sandy B. and Joe Kapp spoke and got everyone fired up to make some noise and root on our Bears to victory! Oh man, this is gonna be awesome.

Dsc_0094_medium

This is gonna be so awesome! Go Bears!

Then we went outside.

Dsc_0319_medium

Mommy?

I was stone cold sober but the first half was a blur. Our seats were on the lower level, I remember that. Some football happened too, but it didn't seem good. I got dizzy for a little while. I remembered somebody saying something about making some noise but I mostly felt like puking.


Dsc_0146_medium

Oh, hey, halftime!

Their band had sashes and they had a platoon of girls with scarfs.


Dsc_0167_medium

Whee, scarfs!

I stood in line for water and met 77's mom who was really super nice and friendly. She asked about getting the player's families info about the pre- and post-game spirit events on these trips and I said heck yeah, that would be pretty awesome to have some of y'all in attendance, I'll get someone to hook that up.


Dsc_0221_medium

Do you know who I am? I don't know how to put this but I'm kind of a big deal. People know me. I'm very important. I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.

Filled with cold water I regained my ch'i and actually felt kind of excited about the 2nd half.

Dsc_0197_medium

We're gonna get out there on that field right there and we're gonna do some stuff that we know how to do, alright?

Can I get a big California Golden Bears "Wut Wut" on 3?

Dsc_0210_medium

Wut Wut!

Then the 2nd half started! Aw, yeah, get back in this thing, Bears! Some highlights:

The Turtle did the worm.

Dsc_0244_medium

I never learned how to do the turtle!

Cal scored some points.

Dsc_0270_medium

Touchdown, Bears!

The Terps scored some points.

Dsc_0271_medium

Boo.

The wind and cloud cover slightly picked up, saving us from certain death.

Dsc_0266_medium

Penis goes where?

We scored more points.

Dsc_0305_medium

The fourth quarter is ours!

They practiced their spelling.

Dsc_0289_medium

'T' goes where?

We checked out the cheap seats.

Dsc_0322_medium

Game goes where?

The game ended.

Dsc_0329_medium

Cal Band Great!

We saw some monuments the next day.

Dsc_0345_medium

Deep.

Happy now, Twist?

No, Zoonews. Nothing will ever make me happy.

At least until I star in Marshawn’s new reality show “Ghostride My Grill.”

I totes saw that passed out guy!

During halftime (I think) his buddies were standing around him and I over heard one say, “I think we should get him back to the hotel.” Ya think?

I have some photos from the game too, but am so lazy. Maybe I’ll post them in these comments.

My overall impression of Maryland fans was some were cool (had a good conversation with one at the Varsity Grill after the game), some were spirited in a fun way (a cop asked me if we had a football team in Berkeley), and some were total assholes (“uck you, you fg!” or taunting my GF, I mean come on now).

BTW anyone see the police brutality smack down just to the left of section 1 (facing the field)? Photos soon. Promise!

Nah, the guy in the post above was much older.

DAMNIT!

I wanna know who was assaulted by the cops! I’m all for hippies being assaulted by cops, but not Cal fans who travel to Maryland!

by CaliSeth on Sep 16, 2008 1:55 PM PDT up reply actions  

The kid I posted with the tubes stuck to him was wandering around outside the locker rooms in a drunken stupor when suddenly like six cops jumped on him and held him to the ground (knee to back of the head stylee). Then, they dragged him face to the ground over to where you see him above where he passed out completely. They kept moving him around all floppy-head for a while trying to tell him how much trouble he was in I guess until finally they called the EMS over to see what up. They hooked him up to those tubes and then put one down his throat (I suppose to pump his gut?). Then, they wheeled him off on a stretcher.

Thank you!

Thank you for finally clarifying that. I really wish someone had got it on video. It would be an instant YouTube sensation! Some cops, particularly ones that are in towns and cities with little crime, seem to pull shit like this a lot. I feel bad the kid had to go through that.

by CaliSeth on Sep 16, 2008 2:10 PM PDT up reply actions  

Yeah but those were state troopers, weren’t they? Yeah your right though, when I spent some time in Fairfax, VA I remember hearing how Prince George was a pretty rough area.

What does he have all those tubes stuck to him? Is he an android from the future?

Why?!?

Why did he get assaulted? What happened? Was he being belligerent? Was he arrested? Judging by the photo he was in no position to offer any real resistance. So what the hell happened?

by CaliSeth on Sep 16, 2008 1:47 PM PDT up reply actions  

LOL

I love how despite being completely incapacitated, the smart guy still has two bottles of water ready. I wonder if his buddies put those there in case he woke up…

by CaliSeth on Sep 16, 2008 1:49 PM PDT up reply actions  

Great catch. That sounds pretty fair to me — if I flew out to Maryland for the game, and my buddy got too drunk to go, I’m not taking care of him. But I will leave him not one, but two bottles of water.

by sec119 on Sep 16, 2008 2:02 PM PDT up reply actions  

Maybe they are full of vodka, explaining why he’s passed out. He drank not one, but two bottles of vodak.

yea, total assholes

Our assessment was this:

  • Fans walking off campus: Chill, will give directions, my or may not be interested in final score
  • Fans inside stadium, or in cars: Total assholes who use language that would make a navy man blush.
  • One guy actually picked up a beer can up off the ground, threw it at our feet yelling “I littered! You gonna cry, now?”. We were just surprised at his idiocy and pointed out “It’s your own campus, dumbass”. Luckily the girls he was with were totally embarrassed by this and were not likely to sleep with him.

    great photo commentary!

    I, like CalBandGreat, also have pictures but they are at home AND I’m lazy. The way this freakin’ blog rolls, by the time I get home Twist will have posted exactly 23 more main posts and this will be buried forever.

    So sad. But true.
