The Old Alma Mater
Tonight UC Irvine's basketball team is playing on national television - ESPN2 at 8 PM PST. The L.A. Times pointed out that this is the first time my beloved Anteaters (not making that up) have been on TV since 1989.
1989!
I was at that game, in the student section. We all taped it hoping for a glimpse of ourselves (which did not happen). I also remember that the ESPN sportscasters called us "Cal-Irvine." I'm not sure where they got that one. They don't call UCLA "Cal-Los Angeles," do they?
I guess it's better than being called Cal State Irvine. Everybody knows the Cal State system is vastly inferior to the UC system.

It really bugs me when people refer to Oklahoma City as Oak City (not sure how you'd spell it, actually)... No one in Oklahoma says that, unless he or she has just moved here... And most of the folks I hear say it are in our Long Beach, Caleeforneeuh office...
