Haha, good point. At my high school, if you were going to college--which was not even close to a given--the likely choices were KSU or KU. Only one other member of my senior class of 400 went to college in California.
If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
