I remember being met at SFO by an undergrad orientation advisor. A number of us piled onto a bus and, on the way to campus, the advisor gave a spiel about Stanford (don't remember the details) and then asked if there were any questions. Someone asked if Stanford was going to fall into the Pacific Ocean when the Big One struck. The advisor retorted: "No, we're going to fall into the Bay."
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)
