Although Stanford somehow managed to take home the axe after last year’s Big Game, this year they were hacked into firewood and pulverized into sawdust, so to speak, in a 37-16 victory on Saturday. Their “mascot,” which looked like a bunch of poinsettia-inspired potholders attached to a metal rack with bloodshot eyes and a creepily smiley mouth hanging off it like a Christmas ornament, was basically just a redder and more infuriated version of last year’s just as unsightly counterpart.
Many members of the band, in their usual busy and haphazard attire, were dressed as rather terrifying Geishas. How do you say creepy in Japanese?
We’re not sure how good the drummer sounded while being spun upside-down and pushed across the field, but props to Stanford for making fools of themselves, again.
Bodysurfing through Cal fans turned out not to be such a good idea after many surfers were dropped head-first into the crowd.
Death threats by the band? Since when did half time get so personal, or so malicious?
The Cal band revived the 90’s hits we love to hate with music by The Backstreet Boys, NSYNC, Britney Spears and yes, even the Spice Girls.
After Cal’s triumph, fans swarmed the field to try to get their hands on some of that Stanford Axe.
