BerkeleyWhat it all boils down to is that BK IMs can be summed up in two words: Dawn Hiro-kawa '99. She gets no semi-witty nickname because there isn't one that could do her justice. Let's flashback to the semi-finals of women's soccer. Hirokawa, by far the superior player, completely tears up her leg and breaks her ankle while scoring the winning goal. Does she hobble off afterward? No, she keeps on playing. Can you believe that? Would your college's team members devote themselves so heroically? I don't think so. Henceforth, the Berkeley motto will be, "BK: we play on broken legs and still kick your ass!"Thus, it is all about the dedication. It is all about the sport. It is all about beating the other whiney colleges. It is all about hoping that Berkeley's winter teams do not get called to Iraq and are instead allowed to use their deadly force at PWG. It is all about us not only winning every intertube water polo game, but looking the sexiest while we do it. It is about running away with this thing called Tyng in the wintertime. It is all about Chili Crispitos. It is all about that scene in Rocky III where Rocky beats the crap out of Mr. T. It is all about that scene in Rocky IV where Ivan Drago kills Apollo. It is all about that scene in Rocky V where...oh wait, Rocky V sucked. It is all about Dawn Hirokawa. (Compiled by a someone who had to write this faster than it takes for all the pizza to run out at the IM signups.)
