My dad used to share his dread of Cal never going to the Rose Bowl again before he died (and they didn't), and I just didn't get that growing up. I just expected we'd punch through with enough swings, even if just by getting lucky. Now that I'm well into midlife, I not only share the same dread, but I think getting over that hill is even more unlikely.

Sometimes if I’m debating whether or not to have a big dessert, or whether or not to exercise, I remember Cal and the Rose Bowl and make the right choice.
I agree - Newellbany & I bought Rose Bowl tix midway thru the '04 season and I still fear it is the closest we'll come in my lifetime, especially now that we lose the Rose Bowl every few years bc of the CFP.
I dream of being in the stands of the Rose Bowl on New Year's Day, with the beautiful CALIFORNIA printed in the end zone, yellow letters on navy blue background...
I'd punch somebody's Nana for the Sun Bowl, even tho El Paso is usually freezing on New Year's Eve Day. A nighttime bonfire rally across the border in Juarez, co-sponsored by the Cal Athletic Department and the Sonora Cartel, would be a sight to see.

We just need to recalibrate that.
El Paso on NYE, with the beautiful CALIFORNIA printed in the end zone, yellow letters on navy blue background…with the sun setting over El Paso.
Sun>>>>roses. Can’t have a rose without the sun.
