Thanks for your candor, dabigv13. I'm guessing the annual LA roadtrip was an important part of the Stanford experience for others on this board, and not just because of the football game. Sadly, as you alluded, the number of current Stanford students who have had the chance to participate in this tradition will soon be zero.
The LA Coliseum might have more historical significance for some because of the Olympics and its history as the one-time home of both UCLA and USC, but I agree that no road trip could top the Rose Bowl.

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)
