On the other hand, the team beat my Cal Bears in a good, competitive game; Gary Blair was very complimentary about our young players; and so I can live with the poster, as long as all the team members were fine with it.

Admittedly, the tie-in is with the Mackey Arena renovation and the guide probably won't be seen by most of the fans ... but it sounds like the opposite of the glamor shots trend. Boiler up!
