This weekend in sports is highlighted by Cal's victory over UCLA in football. It was an ugly game with Cal setting a record for penalties. But that along with the pressure of a decent-sized 46,000+ crowd at Memorial Stadium under the portable lights and also in front of a national audience on TBS didn't break the Golden Bears as they stood their ground for a 17-12 win. With 5 wins, they have more wins than the last two seasons combined. One more win and they can qualify for a bowl, if only they weren't on probation. Of course, Cal is appealing the ruling.

I went to the homecoming game of Oak Grove vs. arch-rival Santa Teresa con mi amigo Jon, the guy leaving all these comments around the blog. With the game moved to nighttime, the classes took advantage by adding lights to their homecoming floats. The senior class won, their theme escapes me, but it was noted that they are the only class to win all four years. The game was boring as OG won 41-0.

San Jose State football lost 52-24 to Nevada-Reno. I guess the high-altitude, gambling, and buffets took their toll on them. Against Boise State this weekend, they're hoping for a turnout of 20,000. If you remember, they were expecting 15,000+ against Tulsa a few weeks back. Instead, they got only 10,000.

The Sharks really need to sign those free agents. They lost to Colorado by giving up two goals late and lost tonight to the Canucks by giving up 5 goals in 7 minutes, a Sharks record.

Niners lost. Raiders lost.

Finally, go Giants. They're tied 1-1 in the World Series, with the next 3 games held in nearby San Francisco. And as we know from the tune, when the Giants come to town, it's bye, bye, baby.
