[...] (Regular readers of this blog will recognize Scooter, my loyal plush puppy.) Unfortunately, I was unable to rescue any plushies with my underground bear-road because ravenous Stanford students had taken them all the previous day.Â I was particularly amused last year because I recognized the same thing happening down south in the other big public school vs. private school rivalry in California. To top it off, I heard about this nowhere else than on a cute post on Cosmic Variance where string theorist Clifford Johnson mistakes the noose around a plush bruin for a leash and things a student is taking her teddy bear for a walk (she was actually dragging it behind her).

Perfect opportunity to get the word out to take a moment in the public voting for the Heisman Award. Reggie Bush needs your vote..a Bruin is ahead of him on this and that is not good for us Trojans! Go to http://www.voteforheisman.com/vote3.php and follow the steps. The top three vote getters will receive the equivalent of one first, second or third place vote in the official balloting.

Fight On…Beat the Bruins!!!
