Hippies Block Cal Stadium Expansion

Yeah, when I first read about this at Tightwad Hill I thought terming the people trying to prevent a bunch of trees from getting cut down "hippies" was harsh, but... yeah...



Those are some crunchy frickin' hippies right there. I can smell the Bob Marley concert from here. Anyway: confirmed hippies have succeeded in getting a preliminary injunction that prevents Cal from making planned stadium and practice field expansions. This, of course, is the sort of thing that could only happen at Cal-Berkeley. Hippie-featuring video can be found at KRON. The Cal Football Fan calls this a "major blow" against the facilities renovations Jeff Tedford demanded before signing a contract extension with the Bears.

What we need hyeah, of course, is some Slayer.
