Golden Briefcase, Silver Chalice
It's no Stanley Cup, but winning the Golden Briefcase for UCLA was a thrill.
A small army of Andersonians, including me, have just returned from the Challenge For Charity (C4C) Weekend hosted by Stanford University. C4C is actually a year-long competition amongst the west coast business schools to see who can raise the most money and donate the most hours for charities. The culmination is a mini-Olympics hosted by Stanford. The winner of C4C gets the coveted Golden Briefcase, which is just what it says on the tin. Inscribed on the side are all of the schools in each year of the competition.
The Olympics consisted of typical sports like (American) football and basketball, plus things like dodgeball and Trivia Bowl. I contributed a small part to the Trivia Bowl team, which consisted of second-years David and Kevin and fellow first year Erin; we brought home a silver medla for UCLA - but this was serious stuff, like 18th century physics theories and 13th century British poets. I wish I had studied!
This year, we split the title with USC, which thrilled USC but bothered us as we thought we had won it outright. Next year's competition is bound to be more intense!

Speaking of athletic competitions, two of my favourites are well underway. My beloved Manchester United got a massive gift from Spurs this week, who took home six points from Arsenal and Chelsea - that puts us just one point behind Chelsea with two games to play. Both of us have one difficult opponent and one mid-table opponent - we have the aforementioned Spurs and Sunderland; Chelsea have Liverpool and Stoke. Unlikely Chelsea will drop points from their matches, but if they do I daresay we have a great chance.
The hockey playoffs have been absolutely exciting. My beloved Washington Capitals played miserably in Game 1 against Montreal Canadiens, and were even worse for the first 38 minutes of Game 2 - even needing to replace Jose Theodore in goal with Semyon Varlamov. Suddenly, everything clicked, and we ended up winning Game 2 6-5, then winning in Montreal 5-1 in Game 3. My view: it's not that Theodore is a worse goalkeeper than Varlamov, it's that the team plays smarter defensively in front of the 22-year-old Russian, in part because he's a 22-year-old Russian and Theodore is a veteran. If we played as we did tonight with Theodore in goal, we still would have won.
