Hey Droski, what's up with that one "treewok" (they showed him on TV) that is sitting up there protesting the destruction of the trees, only to be holding an econo-pack of toilet paper???

Talk about losing all credibility!

I will say, the Bear's Lair struck me as a great place to go watch college hoops on TV on an average Wednesday night.

It is. Jupiter is owned by the same company and they have a great patio with a fire pit. Good food and beer too. I go there before basketball games (when i can stomach it that is).

I was in line at waiting to get food/drink (in terribly cramped/mall concourses positioned badly I might add) and two of the ladys running the stand refused to sell anything to people in UT gear(Atleast until the Cal fans had been served apparently?). One lady, who was pregnant, was getting dehydrated at the time and they refused to serve her any water. I don't know how anyone could be this idiotic. Luckily, one of the Cal fans around that saw this had the decency to go and buy it for her seeing this lady was just plain stupid.

I also had trouble getting my order taken... I sat in line for drinks for atleast 30 minutes while the people up front would ask Cal fans what they wanted first and ignoring me until I was basically all that was left with a few more scattered people.

Like most people said - inside the stadium the fans were as classless as I've seen (@ georgia/bama/s. carolina) but they seemed fairly quiet and reserved outside with the acception of a few drunks, skinny hispanic thugs who wanted to start fights, and some crazy, scrawny bald guy that followed us for half a mile tapping me with a cardboard sign repeating "how does it feel to be 0-1?" But of course I had plently of witty comebacks to finally scare the man off.

I went into Jupiter. It looked good, too crowded to get a seat. The most bizarre thing to me was that after the game, at a little past 9 Pacific, a good portion of the establishments on "Restaurant Row" in Berkeley were closed.

It kills me that they got so much time on national television. Though musberger did rip em a new one. That was enjoyable.

You guys will like this. . their "leader" runningwolf got arrested for threatening a police officer. They go to post bail and they tell them they need someone who is employed to post bail for them. They then send out a mass email asking for help. Apparently none of them knew of a single person with a job. Runningwolf also claims it's a native american burial ground (he also claims he is the leader of a native american tribe though no one has ever found proof said tribe exits). They found ONE set of remains at memorial when they built the stadium in the 20s. There is zero evidence that those remains were native american let alone a friggin native american burial ground.

If the shopowners in berkeley were smart, berkeley's homeless population would not exist, and parking would be in ample supply. Stupid is as stupid does.

amazing. If you could email the athetic department with a description of the person and your story you would be doing us all a big favor. I'm hoping they are taking care of this stuff because it is getting ridiculous. Adminstration email: bearback@berkeley.edu

Yeah - it has already been done. Not by me but by the family.. I had never seen a thing like this in my life - but I know it's not a reflection of most Cal fans.. just thought I'd bring up one of my more 'interesting' experiences on our trip.

You guys seem to not be listening about the cheering during the injury - it was tucked away in the far corner of the field, where the entire play was mostly hidden from view of most of the student section, and the young alumni section. Most of us Cal fans had no idea anyone was injured until a good long time, and when we did figure it out, we even cheered 3 times for the guy - in a gesture to make up for it - everytime we thought he was gonna get up.

This is wrong...

And I heared some other Cal fan say that the growl could only be heard on the speakers facing the crowd... That may be true but it is still against the NCAA... that growl and music was so loud that it could heard by the players no doubt. It's dumb to think any different.

Sorry about that. I am going to write another letter to the AD about this and the other problems. Hopefully if enough donors complain they will do something about it.

Droski, you should teach a seminar on how to be an opposing fan with class. there's a great need for that in the state of Alabama.

I appreciate it, but with the class you guys showed us when we went there, it's very important that you guys were treated right. Every cal fan i met in Tenn said the same thing. That when you come to berkeley that we will go out of our way to be gracious. You guys showed us the way to treat fans from another school (though I could care less about the UCLA or USC fans that visit cal since they are mostly pricks :)). We're new at this winning thing and unfortunetly need the education.

I definately want to add to this... the only decent people we met there were the tree people... its was horrible.. i have been to georgia, auburn, sc, and have never dealt with fans so classless.. it was horrible.. we had beers thrown at us just walking down the street... absolutely HORRIBLE class

every time there is a big game they run out of food. I don't understand how this continues to happen. apparently they ran out of water. GREAT. :disappointed: I'm also told they closed a gate because of the tree sitters, so people had a hard time getting out. Brilliant decision. Let's try to protect 10 retards and endanger the lives of 70K people. This is a bit of a sore subject for me. :)

Some of the restaurants in Berkeley were running out of food, too. I thought that was pretty funny :) No telling how much money they could have made had they been prepared.

I just started this thread because of my bad experience walking back to BART, and part of that was through Frat Row. I'll just chalk it up to my being unlucky enough to run into the largest concentration of a-hole fans (which every team has, including us). The Cal fans on BART were cool -- gracious and nice.

BTW, I loved the campus. I didn't really like where the stadium was located (sort of hard to get to), and the fenced off gates (due to the treehuggers) really made it tough to move around the stadium, but it was a good place to watch a football game. Props to the Cal fans for having a lot of spirit during the game. Thumbs down for the sound effects during play -- thought that was bush league.

We had a GREAT time in SF and Berkeley! Highly recommend touring the Scharffen Berger chocolate factory in Berkeley (Heinz Avenue) and riding the bikes from Fisherman's Wharf out to the Golden Gate Bridge. The only downer was the loss, and even that wasn't horrible.

frat boys will be frat boys, but the real disrespect came from their offensive line. they disrespected our boys all night long.

They must be forgiving, because they certainly didn't say the same thing about you guys.

Please don't take that personally, I was just stating what I know and have heard.
