Since we all went to college together, we normally don't get to engage in any trash talking about our respective schools. (Alec, what's the plural of alma mater?)

Now, we finally have something to argue about: New Mexico is hosting Cal in the quarterfinals of the NCAA soccer tournament tomorrow night. The winner will be showered with glory, and the loser (to paraphrase Homer Simpson) will be ridiculed until my throat gets hoarse.

UNM is the higher seed, so that's why we're the host. Unfortunately it won't be too cold for the Californians (45-50 degrees), but I'm hoping that the altitude and the er, rowdy fans will still give us a homefield advantage.

Go Lobos!
