MY 1951 BA FROM CAL LEFT ME EXPERIENCED WITH THE JOY OF HAVING ATTENDED THREE CAL ROSE BOWLS. SO, I WAS LEFT HOPING TO ATTEND JUST ONE MORE CAL ROSE BOWL GAME BEFORE I DIED. I PLEADED WITH THE GODS OF FOOTBALL FOR JUST ONE MORE ROSE BOWL EXPERIENCE. MOST OF MY FRIENDS AND FRAT BROS. HAD DIED BEFOR 11/25/23 BUT I WAS GIFTED BECAUSE MY PRAYERS HAD BEEN ANSWERED ON THAT OCCASSION AND IT WAS BETTER FOR ME THAN I EXPEXTED BECAUSE THIS ROSE BOWL WE WON AFTER HAVING LOST IN MY FIRST THREE ROSE BOWL GAMES. SO...IT JUST DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIIS! GERBEAR CAL'51

ACCORDINGLY IT WILL BE "GO BEARS" NOW AND FOREVER!!!!!!! THERE'S ONLY ONE CAL BEAR!!

Some say it's better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all. Now substitute love for "watched Cal in the Rose Bowl" and, man, it is tough. Thank you for sharing.

This is beautiful. It shows the power and mystery of prayer. The good Lord doesn’t always come when we expect him to, but He always comes on time. Go Bears, Mr. Colvin, and thank you for this gift of gratitude.
