You know it... You tell the story...

We proud California Bears are getting ready to smear Stanford at the 108th Big Game this weekend. We have been on a roll since 2002, and that's a long time for us.

As you may know, our mascot, Oski the bear, was named after a popular turn-of-the-(20th) century cheer. Let's say it together:

Oski! Wow-Wow! Whisky! Wee-Wee! Olee Muckie-Eye! Olee Berkeley-Eye! California! Wow!

Post-Game Update: Cal did smear Stanford: 27-3. Nicely done!

That is one homely-looking mascot.

Oski may be homely, but he's fierce! Fiercer than a purple cow.

So THAT's what happened to the giant bear from The Banana Splits!

I never watched The Banana Splits, but are you talking about this guy?

Sorta looks like Oski.

yes, that's him! I think his name is Drooper. Technically I believe he's a lion and Berkeley merely refurbished him to create Oski the Bear.
