Anyone else considering going to Cal next Fall?

[BigNastyJon]

I will post my plans as I know them. Right now only plan is making sure Cal regrets ever joining the ACC by the time I’m done with this place.

We have plans to see friends who live in Berkeley tonight for dinner. I’ll post if we go out after and have any concrete plans. They have two young kids so it’s tough to know timing

Tomorrow I can’t find any bars open early. Might grab postgame drinks before our dinner reservations.

Very nice! I’ll be wearing a navy blue Otto hat and an orange fleece. Come say hi. Not much of a tailgating scene there, only really in lots for season ticket holders and frat so you aren’t missing out. Most people pregame at bars as there’s tons within walking distance.

I’m busting out the tie-dye shirt, blue SU shorts and blue SU hat. I’ll be tough to miss.

I want to say to to you all, have a great time, and miss all of you from the Vegas game! GO ORANGE! I'll be trying to watch this from my cousins TV with some uncles tomorrow for an early Thanksgiving party for a few.

About to kick off 27 hours of sports madness:
1. Heading downtown in a couple hours for Kings vs Timberwolves in-season tourney at 7 PM.
2. Aiming to arrive in Berkeley around 10:30 AM tomorrow.
3. Heading back to Sacramento after the game for a 7 PM tipoff Kings vs Jazz tomorrow night.
Just for good measure let's add Bills Chiefs on Sunday even though that won't be in-person, it will still be an event!
Section P row 34, seat 3 - come say hi and Go Orange!

OT: a UL fan I know is tailgating at Stanford this weekend. Parking is super easy at Stanford for our tailgate there in a couple years.

My wife is a UW alum and we’ve tailgated there, it’s incredible to hang amongst those trees.

I want to say the Cal fans are some of the nicest folks I’ve ever been around. I would like to especially thank the chap sitting behind me who freely offered up his flask of high end Johnny Walker. It was a tad cool in the shade. Shifted at half time to the sun side and was more than comfortable.

Agree. Great trip. Highly recommend it. Couple nice hotels right on campus and friendly hosts. Campus is absolutely beautiful. Would plan a longer trip next time and send more time exploring around the Bay Area. Really is beautiful. I usually only go for work and had never been to Berkeley before.

I too was surprised how nice the Berkley area was, definitely would go back!

Downtown San Fran also wasn't as bad as I envisioned, definitely expected to see a lot more home less and dirty streets but that wasn't the case.
