'Tis the holiday season and the week before the Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl and all throughout Fort Worth there is great clatter and anticipation of the arrival of the California Golden Bears and Air Force Falcons. And I imagine there is much excitement among California and Air Force fans of soon experiencing all that the great city of Fort Worth has to offer.

Not since Aaron Rodgers has a Cal quarterback produced such conference recognition like Jared Goff.
Goff was justifiably a first-team All-Pac 12 selection this season as a junior. The last Cal quarterback to receive the honor was in 2004 by Rodgers, the future hall of famer now playing for the Green Bay Packers. Goff will surely add to his California legacy on December 29 when the Golden Bears meet Air Force in the 13th Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl.

Taking a service academy to a bowl game in eight of the last nine years is no easy feat. Considering the academic and physical demands are unlike any in college football, the job done by Air Force coach Troy Calhoun is nothing short of extraordinary.
Calhoun, a former cadet, understands what he has and what he doesn't. He wouldn't want it any other way.

Playing with styles which appear to be the antithesis of what their names and nicknames signify, the California Golden Bears will be soaring through the air while the Air Force Falcons will be lumbering down the field when the two schools meet in the 13th Annual Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl.

Air Force junior cornerback Roland Ladipo doesn't have any illusions about Cal quarterback Jared Goff when Falcons line up against the Golden Bears in the Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl.
"That's a top 10 quarterback right there," Ladipo said. "He can make all the throws and it should be a challenge, but we're just going to do our job out there, and try and put ourselves in good spots."

There have been many famed father and son combos in college football, according to the Intercollegiate Football Research Association.
Some of the more notable names have been the Bowdens (NFF College Hall of Fame coach Bobby and sons Terry and Tommy), who have amassed a record 637 composite victories over their college caching careers, the Shula family, the Stagg family, and the Holtz family, and the Tressels, among others.

Air Force coach Troy Calhoun felt good about his quarterback depth coming into the season. It took just two games to put that depth to the test.
Luckily for the Falcons, Karson Roberts passed.
"It's unfortunate when someone goes down with injury, but that's just the way it goes and the next guy needs to be prepared to step up," said Roberts, the former backup signal caller. "I was ready to play, and I just went out there and played my best each game."

Growing up in Southern California, we were afforded a near embarrassment of riches in sports, from the youth level to professionals.
There were the star-studded Lakers. The Dodgers owned Los Angeles and the Angels offered an alternative in Orange County. Even NHL hockey had a niche.
