My Favorite Moments

    •    Tennessee puts in their second string during the third quarter, which immediately gets several first downs and touchdowns.
    •    Cal finally scores a touchdown. Several members of the Tennessee squad pat Cal players on the back and congratulate them, perhaps even saying while clapping their hands "Oh, good work! Nice job! See, just keep practicing."
    •    I briefly cheer that Ayoob is entering the game, then realize what I just did.
    •    Tennessee replaces their third string lineup with several make-a-wish children. It still takes 7 Cal players to tackle little Timmy Weinshraub, their honorary running back.

Cal Fan: "FUCKING AYOOB!"
Ayoob: "Wait, what?"
Cal Fan: "Sorry, force of habit."

Ayoob’s Shining Moment
Ayoob: "Okay, this is perfect. I come in for the other guy, we’re down 35 to 0. I can’t possibly fuck this up … oh no, people are running at me! I better throw the ball sideways across the field 20 yards short of the closest Cal receiver and into that giant bulls-eye the Tennessee player is holding up!"
Cal Fan: "FUCKING AYOOB!"
