Dear New England Golden Bears,
Thank you for all coming out to make Big Game Week Boston 2007 such a success! If Nate Longshore could toss a football as well as we can have a party, we'd all be buying our Rose Bowl tickets right now. Have a look at our Big Game photos and this year's Ode to The Play by Neil Cohn!
As it turns out, our football team will have one more chance to salvage a winning season. Because the bowl (our fifth straight!) will be on New Year's Eve, and many of our members will be out of town or with their families, CACNE will likely not be organizing a big viewing party. However, if you are interested in getting together with other Cal fans for the game, do contact us and we'll see what we can arrange around New England.
On the bright sports side, our men's basketball team is 5-0, our women's basketball team is 7-1 and ranked #13 in the nation, and we just beat U$C to win the NCAA water polo championship! On the bright CACNE side, we are just getting started in bringing fun and interesting events to you to connect and enhance our alumni community and experience out East! ...

5. Oski's Trivia Corner
The answer to last week's question, "Why did the first Big Game begin over an hour behind schedule? " is: Herbert Hoover, the 1892 Stanfurd ballboy and future lackluster President, forgot to bring the ball to the game, and they had to send a man on horseback to fetch a new one. There's a Keynesian economics joke in there somewhere, but I can't think of it at the moment.
Cheers for the right answer to Chris Crutchfield, Lia Deromedi, Ying Huang, Diana Chen, and Laurie Keating!
This week's challenge (and those smarties who reply to Misha with the correct answer by Sunday will be put into a drawing for another fabulous www.calstudentstore.com gift certificate- good for any Cal gear you'll ever need- at the end of the month):
Cape Cod can be a dangerous place to swim, but sometimes help can unexpectedly arrive if you're in trouble. Name both the aquatic actress who once saved a drowning boy there, as well as the recent Berkeley honoree whose work she shares in a later film.
Take care and GO BEARS!

3. Celtics Game with Leon "The Show" Powe
The Boston Celtics
are back this year, with Kevin Garnett and former Cal star Leon "The
Show" Powe helping to lead the charge! CACNE will be taking a trip to
cheer for The Show and see the boys in green (which is really just blue
and gold together, isn't it?) take on the LA Clippers.
Last year CACNE caught the Celtics vs the Miami Heat and went nuts as Powe played 32 minutes, shut down Shaq, and notched his first career double-double. We even got to meet Leon after the game!
When: Wednesday, February 6, 7:30pm. Yes, that's a few months away, but we need to book now. Plus, our ticket allotment is selling fast!
Where: TD Banknorth Garden
Cost: $35 ($30 for paid members)
Due to a limited number of tickets left for this already almost sold out season, and CACNE needing to pay up front for the block of seats, we're taking RSVPs at www.calnewengland.org/celtics.html. The first 30 paid RSVPs get the seats, and we're already half sold out!
