One of the special things about heading toward the Older side of Blue is the number of memories I take with me. When you live and die with a program for decades, the memories become a part of you -- your identity, your personal mythology. They become the heartbeat, the foundation, of a life well lived.
I have such memories of Cal basketball.
-
January 26, 1986 -- Lou Campanelli and David Butler end UCLA's 25-year winning streak and deliver the first victory over UCLA in my lifetime.
-
January 3, 1993 -- The first time I saw Jason Kidd in a Cal uniform.
