Florida WHO? Ohio WHAT? CALTECH WINS!!!!!!

Caltech has always held a special place in my heart… and it’s not for what you might anticipate… it is their sports.

If you have ever been to Caltech, you will notice that athletics has a surprising history there… if you look at their records and dig a little…  the football team ended one of the worst losing streaks a while back… even with a line averaging over 300…. IQ (okay, typical athletic hyperbola… ). They have a dirt track with ancient records stretching back to the Olympic Champion ‘California Comet’.

yep... that me on top a few years ago... I learned from a wrestler/Ph.D. from Caltech

So where is my connection? Although it may have been an NCAA violation… I was sent up to Caltech to learn the rules of wrestling and train with a young red headed Ph.D. who had also been a very successful NCAA wrestler. I’m the guy on top ni the picture. I discovered that wrestlers are some of the smartest athletes… I learned a lot. After weeks of training… I never lost again…. never

Caltech Wins in Men's Basketball!So I want to add my congratulations to Caltech in their latest basketball win… breaking one of the longest losing streaks …ever. The AP had a nice write up.

Although it is glorious to win… there is much to be gained from the journey and the struggle…. and in doing things that others never expect from you.

For those who don’t know… it’s the Caltech Beavers….  hmmmm… I would have thought the ‘engineers’… Caltech humor.
