Hey that was funny and kinda sick. I liked it. But, still, can you take down that damn article that was written right after the Colorado game last season. I still upsets me.

Why be a university known for championship athletics, when you can be a university known for its tortured intellectuals?

This reminds me...when I was a freshman in the 70s, I got a survey in the mail about...social/sexual experiences as a college student. I thought, what the heck, let's do this. They said they'd send the results of the survey. Months later, I got an envelope. It turned out to be a photocopy of an article in the latest issue of Playboy. The article was about sex on college campuses. Berkeley was described as being the campus of tortured intellectuals.

Is that the same as sexually frustrated intellectuals? I knew plenty in Bowles Hall, right?

When you see old blues at the Claremont after games who could literally buy the Yankees and not flinch an eye but are content with an arm rest and drink service as well as an ADA approved entrance to get their six hundred year old grandma who was one of the twelve apostles into the game.

When you read a debate about what we should be called…knowing full well Knowlton is probably reading the comment section whilst trying to push out a turd in his grizzly peak McMansion. And two days later you see some shittily branded apparel that says University of California Berkeley, Cal, Bears, golden bears, and stick figure Oski on the same t shirt

And most importantly, when you read apathy to the worst coach in their respective category followed by “because we’re cal and we can’t do better”

Nailed it all, Avi.

The Agony and The Ecstasy.

You had it at “pre-grieved” and “torture.”
