Stanford @ Cal 2016: Q & A with Rule of Tree

1. Other than blasting a train horn every hour and the Gaieties, can you tell us more about Stanford's traditions for Big Game week?

Jack: I'll just focus on one I particularly like: the Bearial. The Stanford band dresses up in funeral black, marches through campus, stops at a fountain in the center of everything, reads Oski's last rites, and brutally murders a teddy bear in the fountain. The fountains run red with Oski's blood. Check out the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0DcCAM50UI

2. Rumour has it the Band won't be making the trip up to Berkeley.
