When I came out for the 06' game, I had a spectacular time, minus a 4 hour or so period that I simply can't remember for whatever reason
lol:
TNFlower invited the Cal fans to her barbecue, where she cooked up some 300 lbs of southern bbq and didn't ask for a penny (though plenty of well-to-do Cal fans pitched in, I was a poor student at the time and had about $100 to work with for my entire trip... slept against one of your libraries the night before the game). Another poster on the old scout board, dd4vols, gave me a ride to and from Nashville airport and also put me up in his hotel the night after the game. Throw in the fact some guy in a trailer traded me a jar of moonshine for a Cal shirt and the amazing atmosphere around the stadium, and I became a bit of a Vol fan that day. Have yet to meet a fanbase that was anywhere near as cool all-around.
Meanwhile, I hate UCLA. And have money on Tennessee (hope it work sbetter than my Tennessee -7 bet last year...).
Please crush them, conference pride be damned.
