Hare Krishnas on Haste
Religiously Inclined
Among the throngs of eccentric members of the Berkeley community, one can often see — and certainly hear — bands of instrumented followers of the Hare Krishna movement. Their telltale sign is that they repeatedly chant variations of the words “Hare Krishna, Hare Rama.” Last Monday, one such devotee “fliered” Read More…
Bears head to Utah with bowl hopes on the line
In what might have been the understatement of the century, Cal coach Jeff Tedford called his team’s performance against Stanford last weekend “a very frustrating day offensively,” noting that Stanford “won the line of scrimmage.” This weekend, the Bears (3-5, 2-3 in the Pac-12) will head out to Salt Lake Read More…
Turning point feels more like deja vu for Bears

Los Angeles road trip to confront Cal’s winning streak
The Cal women’s soccer team has been rolling through the Pac-12 on an eight-game winning streak. But on this weekend’s road trip, the Bears face by far their toughest challenge of the season to date. The Bears are in third place in the Pac-12 but have yet to play either Read More…
Momentum wave engulfs Bears
Even with the toughest part of their schedule completed, the Bears still aren’t out of the woods. The second half of the season begins with the No. 5 Bears hosting No. 9 Long Beach State at Spieker Aquatics Complex in Berkeley this Saturday at noon. Cal (10-6, 1-2) is coming Read More…
Cal’s regular season ends on home tilt versus Davis
No matter what happens in its last conference game against Davis, Cal field hockey will likely finish the season third in the four-team NorPac West Conference.
