We don't see the dudes from Cheers erecting large pyramids on top of the Bren Events Center, only to have it topple down on top of them. For those of you who have been here as long as I have, you know I love rivalry weekend, when traditional college rivals wage war on the football field for bragging rights. You might remember the urine fiasco at Long Beach State, where some brilliant UCI student thought that leaving a bottle of piss at the Long Beach campus would start a rivalry between our two schools. It was a nice try, but no one over there cared. Rivalries are born, not made.
Schools just tend to have a dislike for each other without any rational explanation.
I don't think that some guy at Berkeley happened to leave a bag of dog doo at Stanford and the next day they decided to be rivals. Our school is still young, and over time, we will develop a rivalry. Being the competitor that I am, I hate to lose, so I hope that we develop a rivalry with a school that we can whip in any sport. I hear that Chapman is looking for a rival. Or maybe even University High School.
