I watched the first half, and then had to take care of personal business. Stanford was up by, I think, 18 points and was looking awesome, and then Cal started to chip away as Stanford lost its early aggressiveness. Cal hit a three-pointer at the buzzer to get within six, and I was convinced that this was going to be one of the more painful come-from-ahead-losses of the Johnny Dawkins era. Somehow, the good guys pulled away in the second half.
Our next two games are on the road against the Washington schools, then home against USC. I want to win all three before UCLA comes to Maples on 2/22.

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)
