Dear Cal, Let's Bear Hug It Out

in Texas Longhorns Football
Email
PrintDear Cal,
No doubt it's rare to find a readymade reason to get excited about a match-up of two 7-5 teams that feature offenses that couldn't be more surprised to find the end zone if they woke up with their heads sewn to the field turf. Admittedly, I too found it amusing that the invitation of our two teams to appear in the 2012 Holiday Bowl was also a convenient excuse for you to rehash and bemoan the Longhorns berth in the '05 Rose Bowl at the purported expense of your equally deserving Golden Bears - perhaps the best team Cal has trotted out on the field in a generation as it featured QB extraordinaire and State Farm spokesman, Arron Rodgers.
Even more amusing, the forthcoming feigned vitriol aimed at Mack Brown and alluding to his on-air bequest of voters back in '04 to move Bevo past Oski the bear on the BCS food chain has, for the most part, been in jest with the exception of a few commenters who are finding it difficult to stay classy, even on their way to San Diego.
That said, what do you say we dispense with the frivolity and give this perceived injustice a little discount double-check treatment of its own. Lord knows your therapist is tired of listening to you explain why the color burnt orange makes you sad and how you blame the Longhorns for your pale skin and iron deficient Vegan-lifestyle.
More to the point, isn't it long past time for you to face the fact that Cal's 52-year Rose Bowl drought is not the reason you were bypassed for promotion to Level 2 Programer at Inatech and have never been able to carry on a conversation with the opposite sex without tugging on your ears, looking at your calculator watch and muttering the word for "retreat" in Klingon?
The healing begins after the jump...
If you'll search the furthest recesses of your hungry-hungry hippocampus, you'll remember that it was you that chose to parlay your 1580 on the SAT and research on the mating habits of Red and White Dwarf stars into a fractional scholarship at Cal - the MIT of the West Coast and armpit of pacifism. You could have had a full ride to study the mating habits of blonde stars at a football factory like USC, but no, you chose to matriculate at an institute whose football program is basically the nerdy girl in high school who once managed to get paired up on a science project with the popular jock in school, then watched "She's All That" one too many times, and convinced herself that an invite to prom was immanent only to hear Mr. Stud Britches ask instead to borrow her environmentally friendly car to go to a movie with a hot cheerleader who didn't even know she existed and ironically probably went on to attend the University of Texas.
The truth hurts I know. And even though that nerdy girl can look halfway doable at times and has a tattoo of Pi on her bikini line where the numbers that go way past the decimal point are tantalizing hidden by her Wonder Woman Underoos, I think if you're honest, you'll admit that she was never meant to be the Rose Bowl Queen or even a princess. Sometimes life is about accepting who you are and appreciating that one date your football program had with the Stanford trombonist.
So what do you say you put the "Fack Muck Brown" t-shirt down, put your "Occupy Uranus" t-shirt back on and go settle in for a marathon of "Big Bang Theory" on TBS. At least the nerd scores in that one anyway.
Best of luck in the Holiday Bowl. May a victory over Texas somehow help you find closure if this letter has not. And if Texas should win the day, may your loss be a gentle reminder that the secret to happiness is setting expectations appropriately. If you set them low enough, good things, like a Holiday Bowl invite, will happen.
Okay, let's bear hug it out,
54b

…ive always liked and respected berkeley as a university. i like they are about education first and then their athletics. undoubtedly, they are a premier univeristy in research. hence, given how i feel about the university as an educational institution, i, at least, dont hate their football program like say USC, tOSU , etc
but, as they say, hatred breeds more hatred. reading all the comments from Cal fans about the Rose Bowl, and the irrationality of their arguments, i have recently developed negative feelings towards them.
but i think a few should not color our opinion of what is a great university with an intelligent fanbase.
Hopefully the game will be great and the atmosphere will be cordial. I look forward to sharing a few laughs with the Cal fans that will be present at the game. Look for a brown guy draped in burnt orange

Dude, we went undefeated in football five straight years, won four straight football national championships, and during those five years, we won 30 games by shutout, outscored our opponents 1564-146, and beat Ohio State so badly in the Rose Bowl that the Big 10 refused to send another team to Pasadena for the next 26 years. We also had the first college women’s basketball team ever, won the first College World Series (which our coach was primarily responsible for creating), produced the greatest American women tennis players in history, and have won 159 Olympic medals. And that’s just from the articles on Cal sports history that I have written for this blog. And yes, we also ran over a trombone player: IN THE GREATEST PLAY IN THE HISTORY OF COLLEGE FOOTBALL! Go Bears!
“For eight long years have those lobster backs made you bite the dust. It is your turn now. Make them bite and bite hard. Play, every one of you until you drop in your tracks; and when you can’t play any longer, we’ll put another man in your place. If you are repulsed once, come at them again, harder.” – Garrett Cochran, Big Game 1898

Actually, we are ...
This is something we joke about, but let is soak in … just try it … Atoms, the rest of the country doesn’t care about that grand history your history prof cites. America (that would include Texas) knows and cares about the trombone play … period … pretty much.
Now, you say … I am moving the goal posts? No, what about you? Y’all started the moaning and groaning about Mack’s offense as to the Rose Bowl b/c you couldn’t get there since 1959 … that would be, what 52-53 years ago?
So, this justifies the whining about Mack (your crappy history). When we note this, you say you have a great history.
The Cubs (they’re Bears, too) won the WS in 1908, you know?
If you have a great history, act like it. Does USC, Texas, Oklahoma, etc. need to tell you they have rich football histories? Nor any tales of plowing band members, either … just saying.
So, if your history is grand, great (I don’t buy it, but great). Then, drop the victimhood. But … keep the sense of humor. You will need it.

Okay, serious answer.
Yes, we DO have a glorious history, and we’ve got plenty of pride about it. Regretfully, a lot of the glory is in the fairly distant past, and we’ve admittedly been (with some notable exceptions) something of a football wasteland for several decades in the latter part of the 20th century for a variety of reasons, so naturally we’re also hungry. Pride and desire is a potent cocktail. We want that Rose Bowl so badly. We’re convinced we deserved it back in 2004. It was rudely snatched away at the last second à la Lucy pulling the football away from Charlie Brown. Well, that fucking hurts and there’s no sugarcoating it. Maybe we’re projecting a little, wedging Mack Brown in the Lucy role, but it’s easier to put somebody’s face on your bitterness rather than trying to directed at a faceless entity known as “the system”. Anyway, you wanna call it whining, go right ahead. I promise you we don’t care, just like you say nobody cares about our history. That’s fine. We were angry, now we’re bitter, it will remain that way until we finally get our Rose Bowl (which I think will happen sooner rather than later, now that our program finally seems to have its act together) and we’re going to take it out on you Longhorns at the Holiday Bowl in the mean time.

Okay, Atoms, as I told CalBear ...
You obviously love your school. I take your word that you have a glorious past. Up until Mack turned things aroud in the last decade, we were living on history, too.
I doubt you take it out on my Horns. Ask Nebraska how that worked out … or A&M. If we show up motivated and ready to play, we’ll win. After the Baylor debacle and missing a bowl game last year, I think there is no question Texas will be ready to play. I think it wil be something like … 41-16, Texas.
But if we don’t do it, I will come over to that cesspool of anti-Texas prejudice, Rick Perry jokes, and “Fuck Texas” erudtion and say “congratulations.”

Smack is all good, as explained over at CGB. I don’t think “California (or Texsa) is a complete shithole” is smack, though. It’s unfunny and weak. It’s Aggie-like discourse.
Still, over at CGB, if you say “Texas, eat shit … or FMB” or some douche makes about, oh, the 1,000th Rick Perry reference (because we all know what a bunch of diverse thinkers inhabit Berkeley) then every one laughs and congratulates each other. “That’s a rec, dude!!!”

Back at you ... or, other words ... Way. Too. Serious.
We know plenty about humor. We have a whole museum full of it in BCS (that’s Bryan-College Station, not that you would know what the other BCS stands for.)
And gee, whiz, some of us have spent time in Cali with you freaks and seen live comedy up close. To be fair, it was funny because we could leave. But still … we laughed. We can do this.
Look, CB, when you Calis are funny (which, like most dogmatic treehuggers, is when you are trying to be serious … but still), we calls ‘em like we see ’em … plenty of times. when you busted me in a GWB flight suit and all … it was good stuff … for instance. I gave my sincere congrats. Even one of those drunk buffoon posters, Goldfinger, I think, was unintentionally funny the other night, and I laughed along with him/her/it/whatever/does-it-matter-dammit-I-am-a-human-being/please-dont-call-me-a-man-for-the-love-of-God/can’t we all just get along? I think you injured the poor dude slapping him on the back so much and all he did was say, “Texas is a steaming pile,” or words to that effect. Give the man (in the general not gender sense, to be clear) a break!.
You see, if you think that just being anti-Texas or anti-U.T. is funny, just because, well, the goobers you hang out with think it’s so, because it’s res ipsa loquitor … then you have a dementia somewhat akin to that our Aggie little brothers have/had/will always have until Gabriel blows his horn.
And that deal never went particular well for them, either
But they are still very funny.

Rudy Carpenter is such a toolbag, it’s always fun to embarrass him. For example, stepping on him on your way to the endzone after picking off one of his passes, or straight up destroying him (be sure to watch through the replay)
Also, blowing up UCLA defenders is a fun pastime as well (no idea why we keep using that song for highlights, tho).

Rugby!
Cal rugby has won 26 of the last 31 national championships. In fact, the first of Cal’s 159 Olympic medals were the Gold Medals won by Cal ruggers at the 1920 Olympics. But, of course, our greatest rugger was Mark Bingham, one of the heros who brought down Flight 93 on September 11, 2001. John McCain came to Cal to give this eulogy at his memorial service:
“I may very well owe my life to Mark and the others who summoned the enormous courage and love necessary to deny those depraved, hateful men their terrible triumph. Such a debt you incur for life. . . . I know he (Bingham) was a good son and friend, a good rugby player, a good American and an extraordinary human being,” the senator said. “He supported me, and his support now ranks among the greatest honors of my life. I wish I had known before Sept. 11 just how great an honor his trust in me was. I wish I could have thanked him for it more profusely than time and circumstances allowed.”http://www.californiagoldenblogs.com/pages/california-golden-blogs-hall-of-fame-mark-bingham

It wasn’t a “California” instruments calculator that was your best friend was it.
In 1966 I saw a circle of foreign students playing the drums together on Telegraph ave, there was no word then for what they were doing, it was not anything like the Kingston trio or Burl Ives….. a transcendental experience for my 5 years old ears.
On the other hand my mother married a Cal Math and computer science graduate class of 1945 when there weren’t 100 computer scientists in the world. He rocked the white socks and black shoes, the polyester blend high water slacks, the tucked in plaid, short sleeved, button down shirts, the pocket protector and he wore his slide rule and case to the dinner table just in case we needed some emergency dinner time calculations solved.
When “the Outer Limits” or “Star trek” was on the nerds and hippies would fill the lounge in the Men’s only dormitories and sit together in peace, the hippies too high and confused to follow the plots (“That’s says whole Milk on the label, not Whale Milk, Stoner”) and the nerds blowing holes in the science.

East of Berkeley
One of the things that’s East of Berkeley is Stanford. Not a lot of people know that.
love this game
I got my law degree from UT, my brother got his Ph.D in some science i still can’t spell from Cal. Let me tell you, he is a year older than me, tons smarter, and i got laid a year before him. By a girl that was in his class and came over to flirt with him. Ha.
Sure he went on to make tons of money and have a great life. With that chick with the Ph.D from cal in Chemistry. Still married (they have been married since Cal last went to the Rose Bowl I think). My history has been a tad more spotty in that dept, but the ladies have been hot, what can i say.
There band did the trombone player, but i got a hot clarinet player from Vanderbilt during the UT vs UT Cotton bowl orange and white double classic in 1969. she was way better than the Stanford TBone player. (besides, i am a trumpet player and would NEVER do a Tbone player. Give me a fucking break. )
But let me tell you, Christmas of my Jr. year at UT, my big brother brought me a Christmas present, my first “baggie”. Thats right, the kid from Berkeley brought me my first marijuana, making up for any brotherly disagreements up to that point. But that was when Berkeley was THE free speech, hot music, protest and get laid campus. I loved it back then. Visited my brother, and saw my first drag queen shows, and great topless dancers with the first breast implants i had ever been privileged to see.
Guys there is a ton to respect about Cal. Sure they are smart, studious, and their girl friends are smarter than ANY Aggie on the planet. but lets now hold that stuff against them. Those dudes (and dudettes) can party righteously. Trust me.
bring it Cal.
Since we are just bragging now…How many Nobel Laureates are affiliated with UT?…9? ahem Try 29 alumni and 47 in total for Berkeley. Must feel good to have won the beauty pageant called the Heisman though…real talk haha!

when we are meeting for the GE College Bowl (i am really old to remember that one), you can brag about the Nobel Prize winners. In football games, they don’t count for much.
But make you this deal, bring your Nobel Prize guys and have them play our football team . I think our offense might even do good in that game.
And by the way, the chick in the Cal hat and yellow top, she does trump our Heisman trophy guys. You win that one.
