I think I remember reading that when D1-AA North Dakota State won their championship and Trey Lance was quarterback, they went 16-0. Don't recall the year.

Jeff Kent is one of them.
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)

I wouldn't give you two cents for all your fancy rules if, behind them, they didn't have a little bit of plain, ordinary, everyday kindness - yeah, and a little looking out for the other fella, too.

Most recent HOF class was Suzuki, Sabathia, and Wagner; I don’t think any played with the Giants.
