IT AIN’T OVER ‘TIL IT’S OVER…...
This was posted elsewhere to make a political point, but I don’t want to use it for that….just for pure nostalgia.
First, this game is “The Big Game” for UC Berkeley (Cal) and Stanford University. It goes back a LONG ways…...and even when both teams stink, it’s really important to the two schools.
Second, it was a very tight game, in which Stanford was favored, and with only a few seconds left, Stanford led by a point. Remember that the game doesn’t end until the last play that gets underway is over, so all Stanford has to do it tackle the runner and they are the winners. “Many the slip twixt the cup and the lip” as someone once said…...
Third, listen carefully to Joe Starkey, the guy broadcasting the game for KNBR, the station carrying Cal football…...I’ll say something more about him after the video clip…...

OLYMPIANS WHO LOVE PRESIDENT BUSH
Great story about the women’s beach volleyball players who were visited by the President while he was at the Olympics, and presented him with perhaps the most delicate and potentially embarrassing moment of his Presidency.
After winning their gold medal, they THANKED PRESIDENT BUSH for his inspiration. Be sure to watch the video.

TROUT HAVE BEEN MOVED ALL OVER THE U.S., AND AROUND THE WORLD
Along the East Coast, the Brook Trout populations have been devastated by Brown Trout imported from Europe.
On the other hand, in the Western U.S., it’s the native Cutthroat Trout that have suffered because Eastern Brook Trout were transplanted into THEIR streams and rivers.
Anglers and other conservation-minded people are restoring, and even rediscovering, native trout species all over the place—you can READ ALL ABOUT IT in the August, 2007 issue of Smithsonian.
