Funny stuff
You'll need them when you go 2-2 before the rest of the PAC kicks your ass. Enjoy your bowl game :lol:
Good stuff Buffs. As always, a pleasure posting here. Sorry I'm not a Nub.
Moreover, sorry we don't play you this year in football. We could use the extra W. See you here in BBall:
Thu-Sat. Jan. 28-30 CALIFORNIA, STANFORD

believe me, nobody is more sorry that you don't play us this year than we are. You see, the way the league sets this stuff up, we either play you or Stanford. Would much rather play you.
That's all you could come up with from the cozy confines of Lamorinda? I'm embarrassed for you. I hope CSU doesn't beat you again (in everything) this year. My CU friends in SoCal would go nuts again. They're already talking about stopping all donations...
you're right... i jogged to 1st. i didn't leg it out. i guess i'm just tired.
i don't mind cal... i'm surrounded by alums. i'd estimate that less than 5% of the cal grads i've met even follow football. at that abysmal OT game with the 2 dozen touchdown passes or whatever, i sat next to a cal season ticket holder. he asked me what the cal qb's name was. he asked me what conference CU used to be in. he asked me what cal's record was. and, then, he asked me if CU had ever been any good. that left a mark, even from such a dedicated fan.
another of my favorite cal archetype is the aging hippie couple that still fancies themselves as "of the people." i usually just let them blather on, but, as i sat under misters next to a fancy imported tile pool in the friendly confines of lamorinda, some of this variety decided to educate the rest of us on world affairs. they prattled on about how china isn't a threat to the US and they "dared" anyone to prove otherwise. so i did. systematically, with facts, historical references, and personal anecdotes and observations. when i was done, the entire party had gone silent and had watched wordlessly as i destroyed their affected suburban leftist world view.
the cal hubby was reduced to stuttering platitudes about giving peace a chance. the wife patted his hand sympathetically. i actually felt a little guilty about it aftewards. wrecking such a carefully constructed delusion was unnecessary on my part. so, when i pretend that someday we may be good again, and you suggest we can't even get past the sheep and all the rest, you are poking at the delusions that keep the lights on here. i hope you feel guilty.
Nice essay. Truth be told, I'm a SoCal bear. Nobody really gives a rat's ass about NorCal. It doesn't matter whether you're a NorCal Bear or Buff. NorCal sucks. The weather is pretty cool sometimes.
As you probably have an affinity for Boulder, I have one for Berkeley. Doesn't mean the folks that reside there (or their politics) match our own. I'm glad you set your neighbors straight. They deserved it. I hope you ate meat at the BBQ and printed out flyers single sided while professing your love of nuclear power. A story about crossing their spacious lawns in sport mode with your SUV will garner pos rep. Don't give two ****s. Good luck against CSU in football and during your entire basketball season. Things are fun here when the Buffs are happy.

I thought you were face down getting violated. Guess not, you pussies talk about me following through. As it is Flukes, don't fall out of a tree and you know you're our homie.:thumbsup:

Laying down major wood?!? GMAFB!
You know you are holding back from boasting about the USN&WR lists and other academic rankings that serve to comfort you people at night.
I really, really want to hear more about Berkelium and other vanity additions to the periodic table. Boy oh boy, that kind of thing really puts Cal on the map as a public ivy. I'm pretty sure Cal invented the term 'public ivy' as a crutch. Face it. Topping the public ivy list is sorta like winning the Special Olympics. Everybody feels good about a Special Olympics story, but deep down everyone knows that there is another gold medal out there that has more value because it has no qualifying conditions attached. I can't wait for Cal to invent some kind of unique category for itself that involves a hybrid metric of Rivals stars, standardized test scores, and admission standards. If you can't win, just change how you measure success.
It's every Cal's fan's lament that there aren't more Asian kids who excel at football. If there were, Cal would be a powerhouse in the Pac.
Certainly you can come up with a talking point that is more substantial and meaningful than this "founding member of the Pac" bull ****. You couldn't evict CU as dead weight from the Pac 12 conference if you tried. I offer Wazzou as exhibit A. Besides, Cal fans are lovers, not fighters.
Face it. Berkeley is kind of a dump. It's not quite Oakland, but it's close and getting more Oakland-like with every wave of BART passengers exiting the Shattuck station. The grime and lack of parking in your fair city makes up for the rapidly aging and ugly, yet over-priced housing stock. The university itself is a bubble of public welfare surrounded by grime, Top Dog, and Haas business school students who are destined to sacrifice Cal's traditional values with greed, short-sightedness, and massive amounts of debt.
When the Hayward Fault eventually rocks your world, topples your campanile, and changes the sight lines within your stadium, you'll always have those fond memories of the sixties and seventies, when Cal used to be a place that stood for something cool.
The next time CU plays Cal in football, we'll kick your ass. Deep down you know that Colorado is due for a boom cycle. Our dip**** administrators woke up, hired an AD who is adored and is actually doing something to improve CU football fortunes. Meanwhile yours continue to collectively make life hard on Dykes.
PS: **** Stanford and USC. I know the only reason you mentioned them in your post is because of some deep rooted Freudian envy.

Ooh, look, Yogi is all stirred up again.
That's ****ed up since I have to fish tomorrow instead of today. Ill tell Mr. Bear it was Illegal Jesus posting him on the net.
I'll tell him I know a guy named BuffLuke
Witty, succinct and to the point. What Stanford grad did you hire to write this?

He'll be talking smack right up to the 'furd/Cal game, after which we won't hear nary a sob for about 4 months.

The day a Cal grad hires a LSJU grad to do anything will be the first.
If CU athletics sucked then and sucks now, then why does CU have exactly the same number of NCAA championships as both Cal and UCLA since the inception of the Pac12? Shouldn't Cal and Fucla have twice as many since you have "twice as many sports?"

I think it bothers this one that we can't really work up a good hatred toward cal. It is like hating the colorado school of mines-- a bunch of folks decidely uninterested in sports but still yearning for acceptance among those that do.
usc, Oregon, America's stripper u, and uw-- these are programs that generate a real and lasting hate.

Too droll.
Thanks for the insight. I didn't realize that it was such a complicated scenario. I just figured that, when the PAC came begging in '93 and CU said **** off, it took 20 years to build the confidence to come calling again. An invite to share equally in revenue when CU hadn't won in.... Forever?!
my post or their feelings?
