The rivalry goes all the way to the bone-Cal kids were born to breathe, pay taxes and beat Stanford. This is a huge rallying cry for our team to get together and mold ourselves for the championship season.

You don't pay taxes - they take taxes.

A stud is born! [Stanford]

It doesn't seem like there's a rivalry here. I know our townspeople get up for it, but our kids don't. (The rivalry's) not there like it used to be. It's just a phenomenon I've never dealt with. I've been upset with the kids because they haven't been too excited about it.

It's definitely a good rivalry. We don't have to tell the kids about getting excited, and I think they feel the same way. It's a big game for everybody. It's always real special.
