These are some quotes from "Cal Remembers Neyland Nightmare; Hopes to Turn Tables in Berkley" that I enjoyed.

To hear some other Bears talk about the game, you’d think they’d lost the game the minute they stepped off the bus.

“I think the shear size of that place [Neyland Stadium] was intimidating,” said California quarterback Nate Longshore. “It was amazing to see a stadium that big.”

Cal linebacker Zach Follet, a Butkus Award candidate, said “the atmosphere was hard on some of the young guys.”

“Tenneesse is hard place to play and there were 108,000 orange fans in the stadium,” remembered DeCoud.

“There was lot of hurt [following last year’s game],” said new Cal starting running back Justin Forsett. “It’s the best atmosphere I’ve very played in my life.

And then the quote that doesn't make any sense.
DeCoud also hopes Memorial Stadium turns into the same home field advantage the Vols enjoyed last season.

“It was a learning experience for us to play over there, but it’s going to be just as tough on them,” explained DeCoud. “Our fans are really excited about getting a chance to play them again.”

How is it going to be just as tough?

My personal favorite quote coming from Cal last year:

"It's static noise. You can't hear anything. You go up and down the line, your wide receivers, your running backs, your tight ends, nobody can hear. Nobody."

-Nate Longshore

Cal's stadium holds what, 70,000 fans? I am sure those 70,000 will be more intimidating than the 90,000+ Georgia or Florida fans we face every year. Not to mention trips to Bama, Auburn, and LSU, all of whose stadiums hold more than Cal's. I compare Cal's home field advantage to that of Kentucky in football. It'll be decent but no where near what we see in the top of our league. I am more worried about jetlag than our guys being intimidated by the dreaded Memorial Stadium.

"As a coach, I've been a part of teams that traveled to LSU, Florida State, and Texas and almost every other place in the country that could be considered one of the toughest places to play as a visiting team. But when I was at Notre Dame, we went down to Knoxville for a night game in 1999 and the Tennessee crowd that night was the most impressive that I ever faced. Neyland Stadium was just electric."

-Bob Davie, ESPN Game Analyst and former head coach at Notre Dame.

As has been stated in here before, this game is nothing more than a glorified night game at Neyland as far as jet lag is concerned.

"Thats the greatest stadium i've ever been in. I used to think the Coliseum in Los Angeles was, but that Tennessee stadium-there's just something different about it. Just the aura around it. I always thought Tennessee fans were classy. It's just a first-rate place and it's been sold out every time I've been in it. I believe it's one of those places in college football where you say, "It's one of the key bench marks of what college football is supposed to be."

-Former Souther Cal, UNLV, and LA Rams head coach John Robinson

Early in his career someone asked Coach Bryant who was the best coach that he knew and he said General Neyland.

It will take one big early play and that stadium will be silent because they will all at the same time exclaim,"Not Again!"

Last year I was walking into the stadium and heard a Cal student on his phone saying "holy **** you have got to see this place its ********* huge". I knew the game was over then
