All the liberal angst and Bush hatred Cal might have conjured up just didn't cut it Saturday as they battled Southern Republican led USC. (Maybe the recent elections jinxed their hippie magic.) The Trojans played smart, hit their stride in the second half and won a game that many were sure they'd lose. Here's to the 23-9 score that proved them wrong.
Though the game was tense and exciting, it was, and usually is, the festivities before, during and after that are most worth writing about. Such as Cal girls taking lude pictures in front of Tommy the Trojan and hearing "Public Schoolers!" yelled at them whilst taking said inappropriate frames. Perhaps it's also worth noting the shirt du jour worn by many 'SC fans was a lovely cardinal fabric with gold letters spelling "Cal," only the "C" was a hammer and sickle. Very apropos.
A good time was had by all, except the Golden Bears of course. I will give credit to Cal Berkeley for one thing: they have a terrific marching band. Too bad some of them didn't join the football team.
Congrats to the Men of Troy. I smell roses!
