Classless Cal

As indicated above, the injured Vol was down near the far end of the goal line. It wasn't until the entire Tennessee team dropped to a knee did anyone know that a player had been hurt. After that, no band, no cheers. The place was silent.

For people with some pretty high SAT scores, Cal fans aren't very bright. The game had been stopped for at least three minutes, there were medical techs from both sides running all over the field, and two sets of stretchers were brought out when the chanting began. Did you think it was a new super duper long time out? :rolleyes:

IMO these sort of threads just make the entire board look like sour grapes, poor losers to visitors who root for other teams. That applies even if the allegations about the chants after the injury are 100% true. I'm not taking a shot at anyone here, just pointing out that there is something to be said for exhibiting magnanimity in the face of defeat.

All right, I'll admit I was wrong. I was sitting above the Tennesse section at the opposite end of the stadium from the injured player. I just read this on a cal chat site:
"The one gripe I have about the Cal fans really falls more on the shoulders of the yell leaders. During the seemingly interminable moments when the young Tennessee defensive end lay motionless on the field, I could clearly hear the yell leaders exhorting the Cal student section in the chant of “Pac 10 football!” Now, I’m as die hard a Cal fan as you will ever find, I know all the reasons behind the chant, and I’m hella glad that we got the chance to do the chant. But I ask you, yell leaders, was that really the appropriate time for that? Show some class, show respect for the game and for your opponents. If it was a spontaneous chant, driven by fans unaware of the situation or its severity…that would be understandable. But for the yell leaders to get on the mic and start that chant, while a young man lies prone not more than 150 feet from them, was disgusting."
To clarify, the vast majority of the fans were silent; it was the idiot yell leader that caused the problem.

Thank you for posting this. At least one Cal fan has enough class to admit the truth. :clapping:

It takes a big man to admit when he was wrong. I was there too and most fans were respectful. Now I am not a fan of UC or even California for that matter, but you learned from your whipping last year and put together 2-3 days of hell for our team. They (UT) looked like they were whipped when they went onto the field. I know I stodd there and looked at their faces. I hate it more then anything, cause my kids have to go to school in Cali with their UT gear and get stuff thrown on them simply because their dad went to the greatest school ever(in my opinion). The speakers were going during the game (which you can't do) Pac -10 refs( it was supposed to be sec officials), and very limited time on the field, along with the hours of harrassment at the hotel, These were brilliant ways to get into the heads of the coaches and players. I feel bad next year, for UCLA...Hopefully UT will go back to berkeley soon... Great game plan, won't ever happen again. (I hope)

I've simply been saying the whole time that the entire student section intentionally chanting because a player went down does not make sense. I've been hearing a few different versions of the same story, and that's that a few fans who had no idea what was going on at the time started cheering, which caught fire with other students who had no idea what was going on.

I guess you're as ignorant as the Cal fan if you believe that we honestly are a top 3 SEC team.

Wow, talk about a sore loser. Keep making excuses and depreciating comments about your team. Keep talking all this SEC nonsense. You seem pretty angry about this, probably because you were one of the biggest homers about Cal football and the Pac in here. Most Tenn fans have been graciously dignified in defeat, you have not!

Did you attend the game?

Damn, son. Nevermind.

Okay. I give up. Cal students are all a bunch of classless jerks who like to cheer when somebody gets injured.

I just said it seems like all of the pieces of the puzzle were just put together... A bunch of them simply weren't paying attention to what was going on on the field and started doing the Pac-10 cheer. And if for some reason that thousands of Cal fans all just decided that it would be cool to cheer while an opposing player was injured, then that's sick and wrong.

Speaking of classless Cal fans, where's Teddyhead?

So I’m the classless one huh? This despite not coming in here and calling everyone out on their bogus predictions? I had the class to not come in here because I knew what you guys were going through. I had to deal with it last year. I felt bad for you guys, I know what it is like to be excited and travel 3 thousand miles to see your favorite team get bashed. It really sucks. I think you guys are exhibiting all the signs of turning this around fast though and making a stand in the SEC east. Maybe you can peal off 8 wins in a row like we did last year. You know the players are going to want to regain their honor vs Florida and I see an upset happening.

Cal was classless because they've never won anything.
They don't know how to win.

Well, though your comment hardly merits a response you seem to be the only one on right now. You’re right, this is probably the first huge game in recent memory where we didn’t choke. It cam against your team, JMXVol. Yet you still say we haven’t WON anything. We have won something, even if you fail to see how special it is to us.

A plane flew overhead with a banner that read “SEC RULES, PAC DROOLS.” I feel sorry for the guy who put the money up for the plane.

Probably the crazy LSU fan that put up a billboard in L.A. calling USC's 2003 championship fake.

Absolutely one of the stupidest things I've ever seen. If you're going to spend money on a plane, some degree of wit should be required.

Thanks... I would definitely like to see us play again someday. I kinda felt like we had a little mini OOC rivalry going on. I am really bummed that we may not play again for 20 yrs.

When I saw it coming into view I was like, WTF is this?!? It was pretty crazy. You have to be a huge fan to do something like that.
