Cal Fans Rain Down Boos on Club Thrower Tiger Woods

Normally, I despise Cal fans. They think they're so smart out there in Berkeley. But, guess what? They're the ones going to school near Oakland. Idiots.
Their football stadium is old, crappy, and foggy. Their fans somehow believe that the Pac 10 is a superior athletic conference when they routinely get pasted in every sport. Maryland embarrassed them in basketball last year (and we would happily do it again this year).
Cal fans are so self-loathing that they have to project their hatred on others, including world number one Tiger Woods.
At the Stanford-Cal Trust Fund Bowl/rivalry game (Cal fan: "Hey, take that red off!" - losers), Tiger Woods was to receive an award from Stanford at the half. Tiger has about 647,000 trophies at home, so why not another, right?
Well, the Cal fans laid it on Tiger. They must've seen the video of him flinging that driver to the group, catapulting it into a crowd of defenseless Aussies - AND THEY DISAPPROVED.
The reaction had nothing to do with was on his sweatshirt whatsoever.
Tiger Woods, the Cal fans collectively look upon you with disdain!

did the Thanksgiving keg get tapped a litte early this year ? :-)
(don’t worry – I’m secretly cracking up – this really is pretty funny)

Cal students are trust funders?
Where do you get that BS?
FYI: Cal students just spent the past week protesting and occupying a building because they’re freakin’ poor.

But I guess a lowly ignorant blogger would think that.
What other stupid stereotypes do you subscribe to?

Haha, you actually wasted time to come here to comment on a joke post?
Not thinking I didn’t know about the proposed 32% increase in tuition because the state of California wrote way too many IOUs?
C’mon! Don’t you know how blogs work?

So, you visited the Bay Area once and now you think you know everything about the Stanford-Cal rivalry, huh, Ryan? What’s wrong with Oakland? As lala… pointed out, Cal students are as poverty-stricken as any other. Stanford has a pretty good mix of trust funders and economically-challenged scholarship recipients. Upon graduation, alums from both schools rule the world. So there. 8-PPPPPPPP

“poverty stricken” ?? Hmmm – better have another look at the campus. They don’t have students living under bridges and eating out of garbage cans. It’s a very nice campus

As poverty-stricken as any other college students at any other university. They survive on Top Ramen and Kraft Mac & Cheese during the week to save money for the case of beer on the weekend. It’s all relative.

I always find it funny when people cannot get that I obviously am talking in jest. Seriously, people! Sometimes I can understand when it can be missed, but this is especially obvious.
Oakland’s not that great, though, and I’ll stand by that.

I lived in Oakland for a time. Their reputation is worse than the reality. The same can probably be said of Baltimore.
The raspberry ( 8-PPPPPPP ) at the end of my post was meant to convey that I was responding in jest. I thought it was obvious, but you didn’t get that?

I’m with you on that one – I liked Oakland when I lived out there – used to go to A’s games a lot – MUCH better than old Candlestick Park where there was an arctic breeze blowing in the middle of July. :-)
It’s the contrast of the San Francisco “flash” to Oakland’s blue collar look. Same thing with NYC and New Jersey, or Dallas and Ft Worth, or Kansas City, MO vs Kansas City, KS.

I’ve lived out there, and let’s get real — Oakland is New Jersey compared to San Francisco’s New York. Yes, Oakland has some nice places, particulary in the Oakland Hills area, but the real action is either in “the city” or down where I was, on The Peninsula.

that depends on what kind of “action” you’re looking for. (especially in San Francisco…wink wink nudge nudge) :-)
Bbig cities have a lot of flash, but there are equal portions of corruption, crime, and poverty to go with that flash.

Guess you missed the huge Oakland corruption scandal, Court:
September 2006:
“In with close ties to several prominent city officials, including Mayor Jerry Brown, was charged Thursday with extortion and public corruption for demanding cash in return for a city contract, federal authorities said.
The scheme allegedly involved a prominent Oakland city official, identified by the FBI as only “City Official A.” Council President Ignacio De La Fuente (Glenview-Fruitvale), who has not been accused of a crime, acknowledged he is the unnamed official but vigorously denied he did anything wrong. "

I didn’t say there wasn’t any corruption in Oakland – I said that flashy cities have corruption that equals the flash.

Oooops, I meant Charles. Sorry.
I grew up in Palo Alto. After my mom passed in 1971 we sold the house for $30,000. If we’d waited a couple of years I would never have had to work again.

I hear you. $30,000 wouldn’t be buy a parking space there now.
Then again, it’s still not Atherton..or EPA, which has gentrified a great deal from all I have heard.

Nah, Baltimore is pretty awful, haha :) Even people who live in Baltimore hate Baltimore

I understand this is in jest but...
… one of my favorite chants is “***k your trust funds” to U$C fans. So calling us trust-fund hippies is hilarious.
Man I’d like me some of that trust fund money

Haha, ok, I got a kick out of that one. On my Pac 10 dislike chart, I’d definitely go with USC #1. Then ASU. Because it’s not even a real college.

Do you remember those Top Ramen/Mac & Cheese eating students I mentioned up thread? Well, ASU attendees skip that part and go straight to the beer. From all accounts, it is the definitive party school.

lol – name a state university that ISN’T a party school.
ASU is a very good school – I used to teach high school in Phoenix. Tempe is like a college town that is a suburb of Phoenix. Then there is the golf program – don’t forget – Mickelnuts could’ve gone anywhere he wanted.

Basically, you don’t even have to take a standardized test to get in there. The community college near my house has higher standards than ASU.

wow – all those students who took ACT’s and SAT’s to get into ASU would be surprised.
The state of Arizona has also been standing up to such national standardizations as Obama’s health care and a number of other things that a state willing to stand on its own would do. Standardized tests aren’t really much of a “standard”.

Mind = blown.
They have no academic standards there.

You've clearly never been to a college football rivalry game
At Texas-Oklahoma, if you wear red, UT fans boo you. At Florida-Georgia, if you wear blue, UGA fans boo you. At USC-UCLA, you get booed by UCLA fans if you wear Cardinal and Gold. Nobody cares who you are on days like these, they care who you root for. If these Cal fans had been watching Tiger at a golf event, they would have without a doubt cheered him.
Now, as for your ridiculous claims:
Maryland embarrassed them in basketball last year (and we would happily do it again this year).
Cal 52, Maryland 13. ’Nuff said.
Stanford-Cal Trust Fund Bowl/rivalry game
Cal students have trust funds? Do you just spew whatever mythical crap comes to your mind? Have you not been paying attention to the national headlines about how students at multiple UC Campuses, including Berkeley, have staged major protests or sit-ins regarding the 32% fee and tuition increase they face for the coming year? Cal students are by no means rich.
Go Bears!
