Image growing up a fan of Cal football, spending many days and nights of your youth dreaming about one day playing for Cal and representing your favorite school in the the legendary Redbox Bowl.
Then you finally get to Cal, make the football team, and find yourselves heading to the Redbox Bowl… only to find out the official Redbox Bowl T-shirts don’t even know the correct name of your school.
That just has to feel awful but that’s what has happened this year as the Redbox Bowl, which is one of many meaningless bowl games that will be played over the next couple weeks, referred to Cal as “Cal State” on T-shirts:
Cal, of course, is a part of the University of California system. Cal is not Cal State, which is a totally different school. Cal, meanwhile, is in Berkley which isn’t that far from San Francisco which is near Santa Clara, where this game will be played.
You’d think with all the money these meaningless Bowls are making off these kids that they could take a second and make sure everything is right on the merchandise.
But alas, that’s not the case. Why take the time to get things right when you can use that time counting all that money!?
