Strength in numbers...

Wow. Today was a fun one.

I started my day going over to the rugby field to watch Long Beach State clash with UCLA in rugby. The Beach went back to their normal selves, scoring on opportunities, and stretching the defense wide. I had to leave the game to see the 49ers clash with UC Davis in women’s basketball at the Pyramid. It seems to me that thanks to the pep band, I do some signature dancing with my pompom sticks. I have fun watching games at the Pyramid, waving my banner when we win or when the game starts and the 49ers take the court. UC Davis is not yet in our conference yet, but if they were, they would be on top. We defeated them on Senior Day handily.

The only negative of the day was when I went to Blair Field, and when I got inside, the game finished, the baseball team taking the 3-game serried over the Flames of Illinois-Chicago, 6-0, with one game to go.

After commiserating on an opportunity that I would have missed anyway (both games were starting at the same time), I made a pit stop at Los Altos to eat, and then returned to the Pyramid to watch the Beach take on UCLA in men’s volleyball. This time, we swept the Bruins in 3 games, snapping (coincidentally) a 3-game losing streak (2 on the roads against Hawaii, last night against UC Irvine).

I met an aspiring actress, Lauren Glenn, who starred in a number of TV series, is a graduate of CSULB, and is a sorority girl (Alpha Phi). In fact, I was surrounded by sorority girls when I watched the volleyball game. It was a fun day.

Add in the men’s basketball team defeating UC Davis, women’s tennis toppling Denver for their seventh straight win, and a water polo win over…wait for it….UC Davis (the only real negative being their loss to San Jose State), and softball defeating Wagner (a negative a choke against Western Kentucky), and we have had a good day.

Several positives against a few negatives. That’s what you call strength in numbers.
