NEED TO CHEER UP?  Watch Cal knock off #10 Stanford at home, for the first time since 2004.  A HUGE win for our Volleyball team.  We also had some big time recruits taking their officials on a night when we kicked ass and there was a record crowd.  Big props to PRD74 for spending the time to record this for us, as well as editing out the commercials.

What is the Big Spike??  It's #12 Cal vs #10 Stanford, at Haas.  Since this is volleyball it usually means that two national title contenders are battling it out for poll position and pride.  In addition, the Big Spike always showcases at least five or six future Olympians.

THE BIG SPIKE is this Friday, 7pm at Haas. Students get in free.  Go watch some world class volleyball and support our Bears.  Here's the info:
