It’s time.
It’s time to acknowledge UC-Riverside is the true University of California.
Cal can still be Cal. I have no quarrel with Cal. But it isn’t California.
That’s in Riverside.
Because when you produce the greatest athlete the state of California has ever produced—one who’s been the subject of two murals in the last ten months—one who’s won two World Series in the last three years—one who’s won millions of hearts across galaxies and dimensions ever since the Big Bang set his creation into existence—you get to be called the University of California.
Thank you for giving us Joe Kelly, UC-Riverside.
Or should I say…
California.
