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?
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.
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.
This is gonna be so awesome! Go Bears!
Then we went outside.
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.
Their band had sashes and they had a platoon of girls with 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.
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.
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?
Then the 2nd half started! Aw, yeah, get back in this thing, Bears! Some highlights:
The Turtle did the worm.
I never learned how to do the turtle!
Cal scored some points.
The Terps scored some points.
The wind and cloud cover slightly picked up, saving us from certain death.
Penis goes where?
We scored more points.
They practiced their spelling.
We checked out the cheap seats.
The game ended.
Cal Band Great!
We saw some monuments the next day.
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!
Saw that poor SUPER WASTED KID get assaulted by 5-6 of Maryland's finest...
poor kid could hardly move let alone resist arrest.

Nah, the guy in the post above was much older.
I learned one thing for sure last saturday: alcohol + heat = bad

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!
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.

What an Orwellian dystopia Maryland is.

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.
PG county, is hardly a low crime neighborhood/area.

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?
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…
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.
yea, total assholes
Our assessment was this:
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.
Thanks Zoo . . .
But I was wondering . . . How did you get out of your cage to go to the game?

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.
Terps Suck!
Main reason I didn't post my MSU pics. By the time I got of my lazy ass and thought about posting it there were a 100 of them already
In other words, Go Bears!
Again, I apologize for our fresh and new content.

Don’t worry. It’s a bye week. Things will slow down.

Well, yes, I am worried. Numbers are down after Cal’s loss. What if nobody reads my generally epic DBDs?!?!? What would I do then?

I work for flags. I’m not all that successful.
It’s times like this I wish they’d never discovered CougCenterium.
