Barring a baseball miracle comeback, for the *second year* in a row, Stanford will have no bowl game for football, no NCAA tournament for men's and women's basketball and no College World Series. I'm guessing that hasn't happened since the 1970s.
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)
