What a spectacular game. I've played and watched a lot of water polo in my life, and that was just epic. With high-scoring Max Casabella not having a typical game, Papa put the team on his back in every way imaginable. Performed the entire repertoire of shots from the hole, then added a pretty one from the perimeter. And Valera -- 4 for 8 shooting?? Are you kidding?

I've alluded to it before, but now let me be crystal clear: this is THE best ticket for athletics at Cal right now. Every single home game was a salve for the embarrassment of football, topped off with a thriller of a National Championship, at home. If you haven't been yet...well, I just don't know what to say.
