Hi, I’m Jason Snell, and I’ve been known to obsess about Cal Football. I’ve been blogging about Cal Football for a few years over at Sturdy Golden Blog and Ken and I thought we’d try to join forces and see how the shoes fit.

The short version of my bio: I’ve been going to Cal games since I was a little kid. My season tickets, in section FF, are the same seats my family has had since I was little. My dad has been a Cal football fan and season ticketholder since the mid-’60s, and he brought me up right. Roger Theder? Saw him coach. J Torchio? Saw him be not a very good QB. The Play? We stayed home because the weather looked bad. But I listened to it live on the radio in my bedroom. In my professional life I’m an editor for a magazine and web site.

Anyway, I’m happy to join forces with Ken and contribute to Excuse Me For My Voice. I hope you’ll all become regular readers of this blog during the football season.

A verbal recap of the Cal-Tennessee game; beers the size of your head stored in football-shaped containers; good Tennessee BBQ; and the one person at Neyland Stadium who wasn’t polite and friendly — a Cal fan.

So we’re in Knoxville for the Cal-Tennessee game. But we also visited the double-A Tennessee Smokies baseball team, played the home-game version of The Amazing Race, and even went to the Cracker Barrel.
