Did anyone else notice that Friday's pitcher for Stanford has the unfortunate first name, C a l?
He may be cursed with a weenie first name, but as a Show-Me State transplant I love his last name: Quantrill. ;)

Well, Kathy, given that I'm a native of the Sunflower State, you can understand that I'm not a fan of the Raiders (neither the Civil War nor the NFL version). On the other hand, I grew up a K-State fan, so I don't take personally the fact that Lawrence was left in ruins. And I'm definitely not a Jayhawk fan (neither the Civil War nor the Big XII version).
All I care about right now is that Stanford beats IU this afternoon. What a great ride!
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)
