I'm too cheap to pay for the Honolulu Star Advertiser story, but I was able to find a free archive for the Oklahoma Daily (the OU student newspaper) and pull up the story about the 1980 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)
