PET with m2.... The Emerald
Posted: Sat Dec 27, 2008 8:23 am
We must start this thread off with a little history... and some "Rock and Roll".
The truth.... was at this concert back in the day.... Queen/ Thin Lizzy... LIVE at WINTERLAND !!!
The Emerald
Down from the glen came the marching men
With their shields and their swords
To fight the fight they believed to be right
Overthrow the overlords
To the town where there was plenty
They brought plunder, swords and flame
When they left the town was empty
Children would never play again
From their graves I heard the fallen
Above the battle cry
By that bridge near the border
There were many more to die
Then onward over the mountain
And outward towards the sea
They had come to claim the emerald
Without it they could not leave
Crank it while you read along....

So my day started out great. Wake up at 6:30 am to 40 degree weather. Go outside to the ice cold car and start driving to San Francisco. Get a "speeding" ticket on the Bay Bridge.
Let's just assume, that I was going 65 mph, why me? I mean, I definitely wasn't the fastest car on the Bridge. Other people were going faster (albeit not a lot, but they were going faster). I feel like the CHP officer just took his pick of cars and picked me. WTF. Why me? I wasn't in some hot rod red sports car. Just some mundane black jeep... WTF ???
Anyways, that sort of ruined my morning.
So I got into San Francisco around 10:30 am and make a quick stop at "the truth" pad in San Francisco before starting to make my way over to Yerba Buena Gardens for the pep rally...

I start walking down Mission and what do I see? None other than the Cal Band blocking traffic on the eastbound side of Mission.
Cal Band comes marching into Yerba Buena.
Donald Duck impostor shows up with the Miami band, cheerleaders, and dance squad in tow.
Miami's cheerleaders.
Cal Dance team dancing to Fight.
Cal Band playing fight songs and the Emerald Nuts canister mascot getting down.
Miami's band. They sounded weak.
Cal Band and Dance Team doing their stuff.
Miami head coach Randy Shannon talks.
Left nut. Right nuts.
Oski going m2...
Tedford talking. Gabby shot too.
Tedford talking some more. Some Miami fan behind me said "somebody forgot to tell him (Tedford) to only bring three players. He didn't get the memo!" in regards to the fact that Miami only brought three players.
Zack Follett talking.
Bernard HIcks showing off his ultra cool sun glasses.
Oski was doing some dancing and stuff while the Cal Band was playing. Then when the Cal Band finished, Oski kept dancing and fooling around. The Miami band started playing so the Miami Cheerleaders came over and started to dance. Oski's back was turned to them so he didn't know he was dancing in front of the Miami cheerleaders when they were doing their thing. The brunette cheerleader in the front politely got Oski's attention and alerted him to the fact that he was sort of in their way.
Miami's cheerleaders dancing with the Cal Football team checking them out from behind.
Miami does this thing where they put their hands up in the air, palm open, with fingers apart and shake their hands. Then their cheerleaders put their hands down, and then they yell something which I couldn't understand.
So then, the pep rally ended after about 30 minutes. The Cal Football team began walking to the St. Francis hotel for the Luncheon. Here is a picture of the Double Tree Hotel.
*This thread* is too funny.
I need to thank "the jockey".
Wonder if the simpletons will figure it out ?
