Or so I heard.

Years ago there was talk that during a Cal band formation of the Cal script at Stanfurd, at the end of the song, each band member was to drop the contents of a little bag of poppy seeds where they were.

The theory was that the poppies would grow during the off season and Furd would have to leave them in place because it was illegal to harm the state flower and an orange script Cal would adorn their football field.

Obviously that script Cal never materialized, but did the band actually do that? Any band members know?

Or was that just the equivalent of an internet meme before there was an internet?

"because it was illegal to harm the state flower"

Not true.

Lawn mowers don't care, anyway.

If not true, then I got screamed at by a legislator for picking one at the state Capitol during my 4th grade field trip for nothing.

True. 1979, I believe. Maybe 1980.

Would have had to be an odd year.
