Double-Double Today


Well - the decision was made a week or so ago that I'd go for the double today (Cal gridiron in Berkeley and then Quakes football later in Santa Clara). It is all going to be done "on the fly" as cell phone contact with H will determine transportation logistics. Go Bears! (3pm kick0ff vs. Colorado State)) Go Quakes! (7pm kickoff vs. Real Salt Lake)

Approx 47 miles between Memorial Stadium in Berkeley and the South Bay San Siro (Buck Shaw Stadium) in Santa Clara.

Another... Saturday "Double" Challenge

I've done this before, but the one that presents itself to me this coming Saturday will be a challenge to say the least. You ask," What is a double"? It is attempting to attend more than one sporting event in the same day. The last time I did this, I was with who else but H, and we went to a baseball game in the City and then hit the Black Hole for a football game that evening. It was a long day, but because of the proximity of both stadiums to BART made logistics very, very easy (I mean, we could actually see Mt. Davis from our seats at AT&T).

The "double" I face weekend-after-next brings a much greater challenge. (1) 3pm Cal "gridiron" in Berkeley + (2) 7pm Quakes football in Santa Clara. I am still debating if I should choose between the two. I know if I have to pick one, it will of course be the Quakes, who are fighting for a playoff spot. Cal is only playing their 4th game of the season. We'll see what happens on that Saturday - if I attempt to do the "double"....
