I suspect you are looking for the answer "before", which is quite true. Not a ton to brag about from our side because the Cal fans don't pregame..they postgame. It was weird that every bar we went to before the game was all CU fans while the bears slept. You guys don't tailgate out there. It was very disappointing.
We don't have a campus layout for tailgating. We hibernate mostly although there is lots of activity in the fraternities and in the center of campus as well as a few traditional watering holes. When we travel to UCLA and USC we tailgate HARD. You're right though about post game...that's when you see us most visibly. We close bars...
GO BEARS!

not too tough considering they don't sell hard liquor.

**** no I won't miss them. I lived in Vacaville for ten years, actually hit a CU-Stanford game back in the day. Loved the bay area. Love Colorado more, but if I had to move, would probably go back there. I will enjoy hitting the road games for many years to come. So far, the Bears have had the most fans come over here and have been pretty good natured. I like it so far.
Right on FlatironsBuff...we're pretty mellow and friendly. God help you when SC or Oregon visits. Your avatar absolutely kicks ass by the way.
:thumbsup:
Whoa, whoa slow down there pardner - you obviously haven't read enough threads 'round these parts lately.
Unless you're talking about 'tini lack of defense re: his mom - that could be considered cool.

Very nice. Chicks who know how to handle a stiff pole seem to be a PAC priority.
um sure we do.... how do you think we all got through college?
His hard liquor is not everyone's hard liquor.
I don't know jack about this Board except what I've read and absorbed in the last few days (and somebody already offered me another poster's mom) but I can assure you... I am a parasite and my host is Bearinsider.com. Sorry to upset the status quo here.
GO BEARS!

Not gone. Tightwad Hill will be back the same as it ever was next year. As far as "atmosphere", if Tightwad Hill is what you're into, you can smoke a joint in the stadium just about as easily as you can up there. Don't blame the school for your absence of sack.

Well, the simple truth is that we don't tailgate much in Berkeley because there is really not a lot of parking. As you noticed, there is no big parking lot surrounding the stadium, only smaller mostly reserved lots scattered here and there. You can't just drive up to the game and plop your grill down wherever you land.
Also, we are the only team in the league with no stadium lights (until next season) and play most of our games during mid-day, with expensive portable lights for the rare evening games. That doesn't allow for much spontaneous pre-game lubrication, although you can still manage to get a decent heat going, believe me. Many fans haul in picnic lunches and fuel up on campus. Faculty Glade was probably full of folks while you CU folks took over the various commercial establishments.
You can still tailgate, but you have to plan ahead. Before the next Buff/Bear clash, post on the Bear Insider board and you will definitely be able to set up what you want. Most Bears hibernate in the morning, but when we wake up, we can be pretty lively.
As you noticed, most of the celebrating (or drowning of sorrows) is done post-game.
Wish I could be in Boulder Saturday. Here's to an injury-free game.

i don't think NU's move was motivated by intelligence....more, they got their feelings hurt after a decade of not being the bully on the block when UT and OU didn't seem to think NU's seat at the real big boy table was required any longer. now, they did jump Missouri into the Big Ten (which is nice for the polyester hordes)....but, only after MU did all the cry work.

With the exception of the 90's, NU has never really been the bully on the block.

Lookalikes are not my strength, especially when I'm stuck surfing on this BlackBerry . We need Mink, Jr. to come over to help or just have Buffs visit Bear Insider if they are interested in such whimsy.
By the way, you CU guys are always welcome at Bear Insider, it is an independent site, loosely affiliated with ESPN, but not really tethered to the Mothership. It's no ShaggyBevo, but I suspect you've had enough of that site to last a lifetime.
Who the hell does post-game instead of pre-game? I'm starting to think the lowly Baylor bears have bigger balls than the Cal bears.
they have balls?
It´s cool, I was just wondering if there´s something in the water in Cali.

Au contraire, mon frere. Almost all the bars near the campus sell hard liquor. The on-campus Bear's Lair doesn't, but if you want hard booze on campus, the Men's Faculty Club has a great bar with several wide screens. Despite the name, it is open to the public and it really quite a casual place -- no hounds-tooth blazers with elbow patches required. You can take drinks outside on game daze, too, and there is a large lawn nearby to spread out.

First we were Twinkies and now we're cupcakes? What's with CU and calling opponents snack cakes? I hope you're not saying that we are an easy team on your schedule, especially after last year's game (which I wasn't going to bring up until I saw this post).
As far as pre-game goes, I'll bet there is as much of it going on in Berkeley as in Waco, but it is probably more spread out because there is no one main parking/gathering area. Some of it doesn't involve bottles, cans, kegs or cups either, as I suspect is also true in Boulder.
On top of that, many Baptists think drinking is evil and tend to really cut loose and be more demonstrative when doing something "wicked". You're on your own as far as conducting your personal balls comparison, tho'. San Francisco is 12 miles west -- you might have more luck over there with that survey. Let's just say that many of us Bears are comfortable driving Priuses and other small low-power cars.
This sounds like it's gonna be a pretty decent rivalry between our two schools. Bring it on.

Nope. But it's much better than we're used to and more similar to how we are.
Not a lot of "Did you remember to turn off the meth stove at your trailer before going to the game?" cracks in the Pac-12.
I'm looking forward to these Cal fans bringing beer to our tailgate.
That smug cloud started in Berkeley before one appeared over Boulder.
I gotta say, I like these Cal guy's style. Articulate, esoteric, willing to spar, and a lot more fun than the Hawaii guys. Gonna miss you after we hand you your first loss of the season!
hey, i had a fine time, pre-gaming at cal last year. a cal buddy of mine has a spot on campus and i met him there with about 4 Buffs in-tow. as it was only like 10 in the morning or so, i only brought a couple bottles of whisky with me, along with a case of fat tire. cal guy had a couple of cases and some rum as well. when we finished the last of the second bottle of whisky and the beer with about 45 minutes to kickoff to go, the tweedy tut-tut and harrumph types who were adjacent to my buddy's designated spot began to judge us. it was like judge and mrs. smails from caddy shack. one of my less couth brethren asked mrs. smails if she wanted to shotgun a beer with him. she declined for some reason.
all in all, a good time, all the way up until kickoff.
