波拉斯愛食蟻獸

From new univeristy:

4. You can meet Scott Boras. Interested in becoming a sports agent? Good news! The most successful sports agent of all time attends nearly every home UCI baseball game. His name is Scott Boras and he represents Alex Rodriguez, Manny Ramirez and Carlos Beltran to name a few. He’s also responsible for one of the greatest stunts ever pulled by an agent—somehow selling Barry Zito to the Giants for $126 million. He sits behind home plate and usually wears a brown suede jacket. Contrary to his reputation, Boras is actually a very friendly guy; what’s not to like? He’s an Anteater fan!

From baseball america:

"After stating last week that he was not going to Cal State Fullerton, Dave Serrano has changed his mind and will leave UC Irvine to take the Titans head coaching job, according to multiple sources. An announcement could come as early as today."

Update (10/5/07) : From the newuniversity

“We were all disappointed by the news; [Serrano] felt bad about leaving. But regardless, we’re going to come back and have a great season. We’ll get over it, we’re not going to let it stop us,” said the Anteaters’ junior ace Scott Gorgen.

Thank you, anteaters!

Thank you, anteaters! This baseball season has been wonderful!

No one stays through the credits anymore, but stay! WATCH THE WHOLE THING! At the credits part of the movie, they actually expressed their special thanks to UC Irvine! An assistant professor Adam P. Summers here in UCI helped Pixar Studio making the animated film "Finding Nemo".

一位本校的助教授 Adam Summers 在 Pixar 製作的動畫電影 "Finding Nemo" 提供魚類生物學的顧問工作。而在片尾本校則在特別感謝名單之中！（如果你還沒看過這部影片，記得看的時候找找 anglerfish 的 male ....不過我沒找到）
