In good traffic, it only takes 20 minutes to get from the Rose Bowl to the L.A. Coliseum. Twenty minutes. Not very much time. Not very far to go. But when pondering what happened on Saturday evening, the two venues might as well be universes apart. Cal was the metaphorical Read More…
How do you feel now, Tim Tebow? Yeah, you thought you could trick us into thinking you could actually hang around with the big boys.
