Oski at the Library

  View Printable Version 
Oski Wow-Wow!Welcome to the Oski Game. In this casual game, Oski the Bear fell on hard times, with tuition rising and jobs for Bears becoming scarce. So he had to take a job working the night shift at the Library. Of course this does not reflect the glorious reality of the real Oski, this is just a game...

Anyway, these are hard times for Oski, dance all day, work all night, and no date in sight! Clearly Oski needs your help. Click this link to start the game!

Meeting Oski in Hartford, Connecticut

  View Printable Version 
This story is apropos of nothing, other than an interesting trip to Hartford for the NCAA East Regionals (Basketball), the first time Cal had been to the NCAA Basketball playoffs in 30 years. I flew out of Las Vegas to attend, connected in Dallas/Fort Worth, Cal Band boarded same plane at DFW.
Was on my own, to the East Coast for the first time at age 29, and went to Friday nightcap game between Cal and Indiana (then coached by Bobby Knight). Almost got run down by the Indiana bus, which was parking, as I approached the arena.
Approaching my seat, saw Oski. Not that I am the touchy feely type, but I was overcome with an urge to hug the Bear, which I did, commenting, "Oski! How good it is to see you!" Somewhat to my surprise, ascertained that Oski was a female. Somewhat abashed, had a seat.
Cal proceeded to defeat Indiana 69-67, as Cal guard Keith (memory fails as to last name) drained two free throws with about a second left. Indiana could not get a shot off; Knight was quite evidently pissed.
This was a different era; ESPN covered all the NCAA basketball playoff games, with one, maybe two cameras per game.
UConn proceeded to destroy Cal on Sunday morning, though, in fairness, Cal could not buy a call from East Coast referees.
One does not think of Oski as having a specifically either male or female persona; I can only say, across the continent from my familiar haunts in California and Nevada, to see Oski, was a kind of religious experience, reminiscent of the Acts of the Apostles, where Moses representing The Law, and Isiah representing the Prophets, appeared on Mount Tabor with Jesus.
By the way, I think it is absurd that religious zealots in Sudan are persecuting an English school teacher for her class naming a Teddy Bear "Mohammed". Of course, if the Bear had been named "Oski," this problem would not have arisen.
