I shall do my best to assemble a team of ex-California Golden Bears... I know of at least one (Roque Santos) who is still active, and I am determined to find others!

Hey mine did too Rob!
Is there? When did this happen? Toss in some fried chicken, cans of Bud, and a good race, as knelson mentions, and all my needs are met.
Wooo boy ain't you fancy? Too good for Schlitz or PBR ?
A good race...is that you running after your cousin to get her to go on a date with you??
