<p>Your feel-good story of the day. Every single person I’ve seen read this article bursts out laughing. </p>
<p>[No</a> method to Caltech madness - Los Angeles Times](<a href=“http://articles.latimes.com/2010/oct/16/sports/la-sp-plaschke-caltech-20101016]No”>http://articles.latimes.com/2010/oct/16/sports/la-sp-plaschke-caltech-20101016)</p>
<p>Even if you’re not a math-science type, how can you not love Caltech? :)</p>
<p>You might want to check out the documentary Quantum Hoops then, which is about Caltech’s men’s basketball team. It got very good reviews. Son ,who graduated from high school in '05 ,got a letter from a coach at Caltech (even though they’re Division lll) about playing for them(in Caltech fashion, the letter said something to the effect that we ran some numbers and your name came up). The letter said they were actually trying to find some guys who had actually played before! Looks like they are still having trouble winning a game . They seem to have a great attitude about it though. Son did not pursue anything with Caltech as it was not a good social or financial fit but might have been an interesting 4 years on the basketball team!</p>
<p>sevmom, sadly, it’s not yet out on DVD. I’ve had it on my netflix queue for a very, very long time.</p>
<p>SlitheyTove, It shows it available on Amazon in DVD with free shipping. Funny thing is that it is specifically about the 2005-2006 season, which is exactly when my son would have been there. They did start making an effort then to find some kids who had varsity experience. It looks like from the article they are still having trouble finding guys who can play. But sounds like they’re having fun! It would be exciting to see them win a game!</p>
<p>sevmom, thanks, I’ll nag netflix about making it available (grrrr!).</p>
