Cal State Girls Basketball and the Screaming Bees




I wish i had a zoom on my iphone, but i dont, so let me paint you a picture.
I went to the Cal Girls BBall game last night with my darling clementine. i was baked so it was fun. There were so many weird things i just couldn't understand:

1. The Band had choreographed dance moves to the songs: but every section was doing something different. Maybe they are used to playing seperately? Or separated by large distance so no one would notice? Anyhoo, every section, like the trumpets, percussion, flutes, all had different moves. Lets get this together shall we?

2. The Mascot? What? Now that i think of it, i dont know who the group of about fifty kids were who were standing next to the mascot... they were wearing blue and yellow striped shirts... and the actual mascot was some kind of oversized animal, but what? So at first i thought they were Cal State MIGHTY BEES! Or the VICIOUS CHARLIE BROWNS! It turns out they are the bears. Ok, what?

3. The Screaming.
Anytime the other team had the ball and were trying to score, all the striped bees starting moaning. all in differnt notes, absolute cacophony. Like really bad to listen to crazy dischordant moaning. The audience would do it to. Some kind of defense mechanism. It made me uneasy.

4. Really though, who are these bee kids? They're not the band, or the cheerleaders... one guy had a big flag he was waving. Huh. i guess i wasn't paying attention. Maybe they just loooove basketball.

5. Lastly a group of pledges (im assuming) came to the game without shirts, and letters on their chest spelling "Go California Bears !!" they looked like they were from the 70s-- all of their pants were tight. Funny hipsters.


Oh, by the way, the girls lost. Oh wells.
