There's a basic reason Kal has the longest Rose Bowl drought of any Pac/B1G school.  It's a great school, but not great enough.  It's the only school that's even in Stanford's league in terms of breadth and depth.  However, it's still not as good.  Unless we have a bad coach, we will always out recruit them for the best student-footballers.  The mediocre/bad student footballers will chose UCLA or U$C. And when Kal sinks their academic standards they have the graduation problem.  Getting squeezed in the middle between Stanford and the SoCal schools makes it very difficult for Kal to sustain long term success on Riegels Field.

There are times when they have relative success to us, but it's not sustainable over the long term especially now that Harbaugh/Shaw have proven Stanford can compete at the highest level.
