Yourworld, I’m pretty sure that nobody in Chico thinks that Cal is anything other than UC Berkeley. I’ve noticed that in other parts of the country and the world that people don’t generally know that the real name is UC Berkeley. They just think its Berkeley University or something like that. Its only when you’re here that just saying Berkeley doesn’t work. Say you want to meet a friend from the city on campus and when they ask where you want to meet you say, “Berkeley.” Thats one of the reasons that people say Cal, just to avoid confusion. BTW, Penn State is known for football.
