GO BEARS!!!

Last week, I went to the Big Game and watched Cal beat Stanfurd for the 5th straight year to clinch the Pac-10 co-champion title. Of course after the game, the entire student section (and a few of us in the alumni section) rushed the field. Yes, it was a bit unnecessary given that the win over Stanfurd was no surprise (we were favored by 29 points) but why give up the opportunity to participate in a few moments of celebratory mass chaos? The rush onto the field was the most fun... but once I got to about the 50 yard line, I found myself wondering what to do next... then realized that I couldn't find my friends and tried calling them on my mobile... then I starting thinking, "maybe we should have just left in the 4rth Q to beat traffic..." then I started feeling a bit claustrophic and realized I probably would have preferred watching this from the stands. Wow... how sobering. I guess I just can't keep up with the college kids anymore.

Anyway, here are a few photos from the game... and a clip of one of my favorite sporting event traditions, the WAVE.

Dodgeball Injury

So every once in a while, I get a sure-sign reminder that I'm getting old. The most recent was the injury I sustained playing dodgeball this past Thursday. Yes, I'm in a dodgeball league and yes, I think I pulled a muscle in my leg... I think it might have been when i dove horizontally and beamed the ball at my opponent. Okay, maybe not. Anyway, I've been limping around for the past few days, hoping that no one asks me what happened.

The league is actually very competitive. I like watching people get all fired up when they catch an opponents ball and pump their fist like Tiger Woods did when he sunk that incredible putt during the Masters.
