WE WON! We got the axe! The loosing streak is over. It's done....Stanfurd has been defeated, their fickle fans have all returned to Shallow Alto. Those pompous SOBs finally got what was coming to them. (see previous entry about Lesley's Field Hockey Game.) "Accepted..Rejected" my ass. I never applied to your country club.

The Cal fans were pumped from the get go. The crowd was a roaring sea of blue. From the star spangled banner ("Oh say can UC!") to the roaring "Ohhhhhhhhhs" to the awesome card stunts... we were into it. An amazing wave was performed that went around the entire stadium more than a dozen times and was properly booed when it reached a certain section. The "Hey Alumni...Go! (Bears!)" chant rocked Memorial every time. And the Cal band ...the Cal Band was GREAT...once again they showed the farm what a REAL college band looks like. The team heard us all...and played their hardest... 30-7. They ended something that had gone on for way too long....a seven year loosing streak over.

The field was rushed by what must have been over 10,000 Cal fans...I was one of them. Both of the goal posts were toppeled and carried out of the stadium with dozens of people on them, down Bancroft, and on to Sproul Plaza. The fans cheered louder than they ever have before..."You know it...You know the story...You tell the whole DAMN world this BEAR TERRITORY."

We got the Axe. Why? Because we wanted it more.

Go Bears!
