Bears win! Cardinals lose!!!! Axe stays!

I am a bad Cal Bear, because yesterday, more than 3000 miles away and almost 2 years after graduating, I was watching my first Big Game (Cal vs. Stanford) in full along with other fellow Berkeleyeans (there is at least 8 of us in our social circle). But I have renewed my spirit.

It\’s not that I never wanted to go to a football game. I had wanted to go for awhile when at Berkeley, but my friends weren\’t that type. And so I never developed a big interest in football. So I would go home to Lafayette where my dad would prattle off the scores (he\’s a Washington Cougar). I did go to at least 3 bonfires, mostly alone.

But yesterday, it was great not only for Madhu\’s 24th but to be surrounded by diehard fans who would hit anyone within grabbing distance when there was a bad throw, when Stanford would intercept the ball… All I know after this is that I should stop eating more than a handful of chips.
