I always thought it was silly to call football rivalries "war:" Civil War, Holy War, Border War, War on I-4 (at least it rhymes). And then there's "100 Miles of Hate." I much prefer Big Game.
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)
