A documentary of Joe Roth's life is being screened around the area. I was lucky enough to see it.
There is only one number retired in the history of Cal football. That is the number 12 of Joe Roth. The lion's share of Cal fans know the story of Joe Roth, a young quarterback who led the Bears to be co-champions of the Pac-8 in 1975. He was a man with courage beyond his years, battling cancer as he played through the 1976 season. He was a Playboy preseason All-American in 1976, and less than a year later, he was gone.
