I had a good time at that Emerald Bowl in SF 15 years ago in which Nate Longshore led Cal to a win against Miami.

Please tell me the ACC experience will always be like that.

I was there, that was fun! Could swear it was more than 15 years ago, though. More please!

Was a few years before that, but in тАШ92 our Sturdy Golden Bears marched into the citrus bowl all full of Cal swagger and gave Clemson a proper pasting. Their southern fried football couldтАЩt hang. Was my first glimpse as a fan of really having nice things. Roll onтАж

My dad played for Clemson a LONG time ago, but he was even rooting for CAL at the end.

Is it wrong that I want Clemson games to end more like Woody Hayes punching one of them? Violence is wrong... right?

I enjoyed the North Carolina game and Maryland game at the Memorial Stadium too.

If all ACC games could be played in Berkeley or San Francisco...

This is what the ACC is all about. Friends helping friends close down their old stadiums:

LOL.

Yes, despite all the esprit de corps we shared with Furd through this ordeal, their goal posts have been known to come down after a Cal win in the Big Game. It's what friends are for.

I read once that Miami has had more players in the NFL than any other college.

BTW- Virginia is certainly a top ten public university and, yet another example, that academics and sports success are not mutually exclusive.

And Stanford's band has been known to take a lump or two during a Cal game-winning TD LOL

Nut Bowl was fantastic though that dancing can of nuts was Tree-like enough to make my punching muscles twitch.
