A fantastic weekend for Cal football fans

The team from my Alma Mater beat up on Washington State today, 66-3, Stanfurd is losing pretty badly to Arizona State as I write this, and, perhaps best of all, the University has begun cutting down the trees that are currently standing in the way of their new athletic training facility. Why is that the best part? Because it's making filthy hippies cry:

The University of California moved quickly Friday to begin cutting trees in a grove on campus where tree-sitters have staged a protest for the last 21 months in a bid to block construction of an athletic facility.

Four tree-sitters perched in a 90-foot redwood found themselves increasingly isolated as workers began cutting the trees around them. University officials said they expect all of the grove's trees to be chopped down by Monday except the one the four men are occupying.

The university had been stymied for months by the tree-sitters and by a lawsuit filed by neighbors and the city. Over time, hundreds of protesters have climbed up into the trees to protest.

The university finally won approval to begin construction late Thursday when a state appeals court declined to issue a stay blocking the project. The campus wasted no time in getting to work; crews began cutting limbs at 8:30 a.m.

One tree-sitter, who goes by the name of Huck, vowed in a cellphone interview that the four will continue their protest and remain aloft indefinitely. As he watched the workers cut down the 85-year-old trees, Huck said he was devastated to see the university -- a public institution -- destroying the grove.

"It's appalling, it's criminal, it's beyond criminal," said Huck, 27, who joined the tree-sit six weeks ago. "It's beyond words how horrifying it is."

Oh. That's delicious. The anguish of smelly, stupid hippies is just So. Fucking. Delicious. Suck it, you idiotic hippie scum.

Oh, and Go Bears!
