I’m sorry but cal doesn’t go the the Rose Bowl.  So that ends that

In my lifetime, Cal had the best team in the Pac with Mike White as coach and Chuck Muncie as RB.  Muncie ran wild on Stanford in that Big Game, and the Bears were better than the P8/10 rep in the Rose Bowl . . . and it wasn't even close.  Another, more recent year (but still a long time ago) Cal was on the cusp of earning the #1 ranking in the country, iirc, but then choked away a game against Oregon State, and never regained top form.  Those two teams are the best Cal teams I recall.

But no, I don't think Stanford and Cal have both been really good (or better) the same season.

P.S. That film of Casey's run for the Roses was in 1999.  The Old Lady looked jammed.  Hell, the sunny side alone had more than we've ever seen at the new stadium.  That was roughly 20 years ago.  Man, has interest in Stanford football dropped off a cliff.
