			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When most people think about college sports, they think of Big 10 football tournaments, or basketball teams like the Fighting Illini, or movies like <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoosiers">Hoosiers</a>. But at UCI, where I just recently graduated, our sports department isn&#8217;t quite as famous. In fact, we don&#8217;t even have a football team. And our mascot is the anteater. Yes, the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UC_Irvine_Anteaters">anteater</a>.</p>
<p>Still, we do have some claims to fame. Our men&#8217;s water polo team is nothing to sneeze at, having produced thirteen Olympians, four of whom helped win a silver medal for the USA at the 2008 games in Beijing.</p>
<p>But perhaps even more famous is our men&#8217;s volleyball team. In 2007, they won the NCAA championship and were invited to the White House for a visit, where President Bush <a href="http://www.dailypilot.com/articles/2007/06/19/sports/dpt-ucivb19.txt">congratulated them</a> in a <a href="http://georgewbush-whitehouse.archives.gov/news/releases/2007/06/20070618-2.html">speech</a> on the South Lawn.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://vocaro.com/trevor/blog/wp-content/plugins/flash-video-player/default_video_player.gif" /></p>
<p>Just to prove it wasn&#8217;t a fluke, the team <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/sports/college/volleyball/2009-05-09-mens-volleyball-championship_N.htm">won again</a> last month. I guess now it&#8217;s Obama&#8217;s turn to invite them to the White House.</p>
<p>So, in honor of this momentous occasion, I hereby proclaim, &#8220;Go Anteaters! Fight Anteaters!&#8221;</p>
<p>Hey, at least we&#8217;re not the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_California,_Santa_Cruz">Banana Slugs</a>.</p>
