CAL-STANFORD - Color and excitement as football fever sweeps both campuses:
"Stanford's color is so taboo at Cal during Big Game week that students are urged to donate blood in the name of 'Get the Red Out.'

Stanford partisans also were shedding blood in the 'Hemo Bowl,' one of several forms of archrival foreplay in the sometimes frenzied buildup to the famous football climax.

Friday morning, Berkeley was out-bleeding its Palo Alto nemesis by 116 units to 60, possibly because Stanford students are less inclined to shed their color, not to mention Cal's much larger student body."  ¶ 11/20/2004 11:49:00 AM
