Anybody else at Cal in 2007? Was certain Demetrice Morley and Eric Berry were going to wreak havoc. We also had just released Gerald Williams from his solitary confinement.

Friggin Justin Forsett and Desean Jackson.

There were dirty stoners living in trees. Protesting a new football complex or something, Tarps hanging across branches catching their refuse 🤮

Yep, I was out there for a work trip and a guy I worked with that grew up out there went to the game with me. Dang craziest people I have ever been around. He took me to the frat house he used to hang out in, me dressed head to toe in orange. They were harassing me quite a bit until some 60 something guy showed up. He was like the grand wizard of the frat and he comes up and sings Rocky Top with me. Then they all treat me like I am some kind of visiting mystic, calling me Orange Dude. WTF!

When we left out of there we had to walk through frat row, all of the way up to the stadium. That was where the poo throwing moron was up in a tree, with a fence around him. That stadium was like a 100 year old high school stadium. I still occasionally pick a splinter out of my backside from the wooden bleachers. Could not believe we lost to them. The San Andres fault line runs through the middle of that dump. Some day it will be swallowed by the earth.

Rode the train up from San Fran and was sitting beside Eric Ainge's dad. Chatted him up quite a bit. Good dude.

That was their first ever night game IIRC. They had diesel-powered light towers to illuminate the field. Gah.

This is just one of the reasons why she’d be the only celebrity I would get tongue tied and starry eyed around.

She has to be one the most genuine people there is. When my aunt was alive she got her nails done in Nashville by the same woman who did Dolly’s. One day the lady called and had to cancel my aunt’s appointment because Dolly had an event to go to. Later that night my aunt got a phone call from Dolly apologizing for being a “pain in the butt” for taking her appointment. I know, cool story bro, but I always thought that was such a cool thing to do.

Yep, the stadium experience was incredible to me. Dobyns Bennett has a better field and press box than a multi million dollar Pac 12 university. And wooden bleachers? It would not be worth the cost of the dynamite to blow the whole thing up.
