Bottoms Up! - The CGB Football Drinking Game

by yellow fever on Oct 19, 2009 7:30 PM PDT in Football Comment 23 comments

I mentioned off-hand during this past Saturday's game against UCLA that it might be time to make up a new Cal drinking game. After all, there's only so many times we can run the A L A M A R!!!!!!! meme into the ground, and we also needed something that everyone who doesn't camp in our open threads can participate in during game days.

Hm, Let's Try That One Again! - Take a swig of beer if:

Jahvid Best goes for more than 10 yards
Shane Vereen goes for more than 10 yards
Marvin Jones or Verran Tucker catches a pass
Nyan Boateng is on the field, meaning the offense has the Nyan in it
A screen pass goes for more than 7 yards
Tyson Alualu gets a sack
Derrick Hill blows up a play
Syd'Quan Thompson does what SQT does
Any linebacker makes a successful play

#O*O@$H@RI#@R Pete Alamar Better Be A Damn Good Recruiter To Make Up For This - Chug if:

Cal gives up a 40+ yard kick return
Cal gives up a 20+ yard punt return
A tight end drops a pass
A kickoff fails to reach the 10 yard line
A field goal kick is woefully short

Self-explanatory - Finish your beer if:

You hear the words: TOUCHDOWN BEARS!

WHY!!!?!? - Take a shot if:

Kevin Riley throws a pass into triple coverage
Riley throws a pass where there are no players within a ten yard radius
Jahvid gets stopped for no gain or a loss
Cal calls a screen pass on third and long - and you called it ahead of time

Reserved For Special Occasions - Tap a keg if:

Cal beats USC
Cal beats Oregon
Cal beats Stanford
Cal wins a bowl game

Once In A Lifetime - Do a kegstand if:

You're watching Cal play in the Rose Bowl against a team other than UCLA

Whack yourself with your beer bottle if...

… the opponent bubble screens you to death

In other words, Go Bears!

or if they hit that damn TE screen on third down to convert. Fuck I hate that play.

Snort something if....

…. the opponent completes a pass to the TE over the middle for a big gain

In other words, Go Bears!

Jahvid gets stopped for no gain or a loss

Dang, that one’s a shot? Even with Jahvid, getting stopped for no gain or a loss fairly happens frequently, if only because of the fact that we give him the ball so much that he can’t succeed on EVERY play…

Jahvid gets the ball too much? Really? 18 carries is not THAT much.

It'll be just you, me, and Peter Nincompoop.

It’s not that he gets the ball too much, it’s that not all 18 of those carries will be positive yardage.

I would argue that a few too many go for negative yardage. I know a lot of that has to do with the prodigious talent of Brian price, but I do think Jahvid gets caught for a loss too often, which, to me, can hurt an offense’s rhythm. That said, as a fan, I love watching him break loose for 93-yard touchdowns!

It'll be just you, me, and Peter Nincompoop.

The solution to this has little or nothing to do with Jahvid Best. Just thought I would point that out.

Well, to a degree yes. I would like to see Vereen and Deboskie a bit more as teams stack the box, daring Riley to throw. If they back off, then I think Vereen and Deboskie are more than capable.

For better or worse, Jahvid is the reason Cal has to rely so much on big plays instead of methodically moving down the field. Whether that is good or bad, I really don’t know.

Isn’t Kevin Riley the reason Cal has to rely so much on big plays?

Insofar as Best can’t be counted on to grind out short yardage when needed, I think he meant…

Drink if your defense plays with 10 men on the field twice in a row.

For opposing teams, drink twice if the Cal defense plays with 10 men on the field twice in a row and you get negative 7 points out of it.

I’m waiting for the CGB Inanity Drinking Game…

Twist mentions a plot point from a TV show meant for tween girls? Pound a wine cooler.

Royrules throws out some indecipherable computer talk? Drink 01011100110110010110.

Drink if Joe Starkey screams “HE’S GOT A RECEIVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Annnnnndddddd its incomplete.”

Goin' balls deep with Cal since 1972!

I, for one, am stunned that Starkey would mention that there was a receiver involved.

I’m semi dreading this Saturday’s game with the Cougs as it will involve another confusing afternoon with Joe.

“And then the ball goes forward and wait, now WSU has it, what’s this a Cal touchdown!”

I think you have to approach it the way people approach a Monet. You aren’t going to get a really clear sense of the action, but you’ll have a strong impression of what’s going on.

Gonna be out of the country, so glad this is the one game I’ll miss… as a Starkey only special, it will be easier to rationalize my not being able to follow…I mentioned this elsewhere, but my feelings about his shortcomings have been reinforced and validated recently as I’ve been listening to local home team coverage of other games on XM radio…seriously, check it out if you can …some of these guys are incredible in both their play by play as well as their passion for their team… we are really missing out…if “Fire Starkey” is too harsh, could we go for “retire with honor”
