Pre-Season Game - Cal Maritime 0 v  UC Berkeley 97
As Roosevelt once said. "It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points
out how the strong man stumbled, or where the door of deeds could have done
better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is
marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and
comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great
devotions and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best, knows in the
end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails
while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid
souls who know neither victory or defeat."

In being taught a rugby lesson, it is good to witness what you are searching for.
While no match for the power, size and pace of the Cal side at least we erred
and came up short rather than never testing ourselves against the best. And
the beauty of sport is that we have only to wait a week before the next game to
rectify our position. The only thing more painful than losing is not learning from
it and telling ourselves we are going to put it right.
