Farm fans in another language still equals "nerds"

So this blog post referenced below proves what I always knew...below is the original in Dutch, then the next paragraph is a rough translation using Google's translating service (the Rosetta Stone it's not, but it's better than nothing).

Die zaterdag was het de dag van 'the Big Game', oftewel the California Golden Bears van UC Berkeley speelden American Football tegen Stanford in Palo Alto. Daar heen gereden met Gabe en zijn ouders waren er ook met hun hond die natuurlijk ook een Golden Bears shirt aanhad! Voor het stadion met Bart-Jan (red: van de zeilschool) afgesproken en de wedstrijd gekeken. Helaas gingen de Golden Bears keihard onderuit met 13-20 :(, dus het was na afloop alleen feest voor de Stanford-nerds, die dan ook in grote getalen het veld bestormden...

Big Game CX one for the books.

Well THAT proved that what goes up must come down. As usual, the bloggers at the Daily Clog have some suggestions while heading into Finals...

So, we lost to the Cardinal for the first time in six years. Don’t lose hope. The Clog feels your pain, and has compiled a list of things you can do to ease the hurt before finals kick in.

• Eat some chocolate with John Scharffenberger at the Botanical Garden on Sunday at 2 p.m. Yay for endorphins!
• If laughter is the best medicine, then laugh at gravity with Circus Oz—performing at Zellerbach Hall on Sunday at 3 p.m.
• We would also like to remind you that the Tang Center is there for you on Bancroft and Fulton and “can help with crisis intervention and debriefing in the event of a death or other tragedy”—in this case, the death of a perfectly alright football season.

In the meantime, we can begin to look forward to next year's Big Game at Berkeley. Everyone knows the best Big Games happen at Memorial. Go Bears!

Go Bears!

To everyone going to Big Game - have a safe and great time. I'll be watching the game on Versus today. First time I've missed Big Game since 1994.

The Oakland Tribune has videos of the Chopping Rally and the Axe Rally.

Go Bears! Give them the Axe!
