Berkeley Golden Bears Win Mens' Pac-10 Soccer Championship

As many of you have already guessed, us folks at HiExpat are big fans of "the beautiful game", aka soccer, football, footie, McFooten, etc.    What most of you don't know, however, is that we are also HUGE fans of Pac 10 Sports!  

Thus, when the UC Berkeley Golden Bears win the Pac -10 Championship, and even better, win it by outclassing those yahoos from Stanfurd, well, we take notice.   Yes, that's right, I'm talking about American college sports on a blog that's supposed to be about life in Korea.  Now, what are you going to do about it?  

Exactly.

For the record, the Golden Bears of the University of California, Berkeley, have an extensive alumni association here in Seoul, Korea.   In fact, years ago I met former President and Nobel Prize winner Kim Dae-Jung at two separate Berkeley alumni events.  Shook his hand and didn't wash it for weeks.  I also met Bill Clinton at an American Bar Association Seminar back in 1999.  Shook his hand, too, but washed mine immediately.

So, the Cal Bears brought home the Pac-10 Championship for the 3rd time in 5 years.  That's Cal, not Stanfurd.   Next game?  Sunday, November 21 at 1:30 pm.  Since you won't be in Berkeley to see the game in person, get ready to systematically pound that refresh button on your browser as you get all the shot by shot highlights online.

 Go Bears!!
