So another Cal-Stanford game has come and gone. I love going, even though (or maybe because) I know in my heart they're going to lose, and if they win, it's a great surprise.

With yesterday's loss, Cal has tied it's longest Big Game losing streak, with 6 in a row. This was the first time the Big Game's ever gone into overtime, and the lead in the game changed hands eight times. Talk about a nailbiter!

Anyhow, this streak is really bad for both sides. Attendance was lower than it's been in decades, and nearly half the Stanford seats were empty. This marks the third year in a row that graduating seniors go have gone through their entire education at Cal without ever seeing a Cal Big Game win.

While the ASUC is doing goofy things like adding a binary star system as a symbol of the university (the stars' colors are blue and gold), they should consider renaming the football team the California Cubs. On one hand, they don't seem to have the maturity of a team worthy of being called the Bears, and on another, it would be a sign of kinship to the Chicago Cubs, another team born to lose, with a dedicated fan base that just goes to watch the show.
