I just smashed my TV in front of 30 guests at my party because of the game. My wife just took our crying kids and said they're all spending the week at a hotel. This team has ruined my life and my party. I can't handle this anymore. Goodbye Auburn. I am no longer a fan.

But not in a good way.

The dude should pay for your new TV and it should be a nice one.

Also, I'm assuming you meant to type an Auburn fan and not yourself.

I love how they brag about that as if that's a positive. Sorry, I like living in a place that where there is a bit more to life. I'll take a little more sparsely attended stadium in trade for that.

The nice thing is we've never seen any irrationality in the Cal community after losses....

Angry posts on a bulletin board don't scare our children.

Pretty sure that's a meme post.

If his pickup truck flipped over and dog died, then he'd have the makings of a hit country music song.

But does he like cold beer after a hard day's work and well-worn jeans at a honky-tonk?

If he does, that'd be the B side to the album.

No. Never.

That's because we EXPECT to lose.

This sort of thing actually happens in SEC land. A guy I know who went to Tennessee told me he's broken two TVs (one "tipped", the other with a beer bottle). He said when two Vol alumni meet, before too long they have asked each other, "How many you broken?" (But if it's somebody else's TV, you'd better find a way to make it right, immediately.)

Was it wife or cousin or the same person that took the kids to a hotel?? Just trying to clarify?

Sad if true. And means their school will survive the next realignment scramble.

On the first INT my wife told me her apple watch said to find a quiet environment and that the volume would cause hearing damage.

The kids and dog are still a little shook up.

Charles Dickens would certainly understand how typical Cal Fans think:

I wouldn't take that seriously. I've seen that same post countless times during football season on Twitter (I am NOT calling it X), from a bevy of different teams. It's nothing more than a troll job.

I read the Auburn fans game thread. Given how frustrating that game must have been for them, I thought they carried themselves admirably. We can learn something from their fan base. The unconditional support of those fans that filled their stadium today for a non conference opponent who they thought they would blow out. The noise that they made that contributed to a large number of pre-snap penalties for our team.

Did anyone else notice Fernando making reference to the use of the phrase "TypiCal" on social media. The players read the stuff we post. As a former Cal Band member, we would always say "remember who you are and what you represent'"

We are Cal. We had a great day today, and we can all still do better!

Go Bears! Beat the Aztecs!

lol the Auburn board game thread I checked was like three positive comments completely drowned out by people asking for returns on NIL you know they didn't actually contribute, posts calling Freeze a dumbass and then a healthy sprinkling of railing on their QB.

I think Cal could learn about how attracting fans requires maintaining tradition and winning.

Well we are Call. And we just hired the most football:athletics positive chancellor in our lifetimes'. The team is 2-0 with a big road win over an SEC opponent, so let's pack Memorial and cheer for the team and show the recruits what kind of environment they could be playing in even if we have to tolerate a few lame promotions and some canned music

lol. I was watching on a laptop at a school camping trip for my 5th grader. When Williams made the pick in the end zone I went bananas, then heard the announcer say there was a flag and went apes-it. She laughed so hard at me.

Me too. And I no longer follow sports. Cal football is sucking me back in. Dammit.

First, I don't think this is the group you have to convince.

I think it's bigger than a moment in time. Auburn has been down for 5 years and still draws. Cal being up for two weeks isn't what I am referring to.
