rose bowl, baby, ROSE BOWL!!!!

It was a great day for Trojans everywhere as USC clinched a 5th straight Pac-10 title (and at least a trip to the Rose Bowl) by beating the Golden Bears of Cal, 23-9.

Cal was hoping to win last night in order to go to the Rose Bowl for the first time since 1958. Sorry, Cal. Not this year.

As seen on a USC fan's sign at the game:
The USC Trojans are red
Cal is feeling a little blue
It's 1958 and counting
It's the Holiday Bowl for you!

More on this game and that other game of the year (Ohio State/Michigan) in tomorrow's college football recap!
