Joe Roth is a story every Pac-12 fan should know more about

Sometimes even the best stories seem to slip through the cracks. Unless you are a Cal fan, Joe Roth, might be one of those stories.

When I recently stumbled upon the Joe Roth story, I instantly couldn't believe that I had never heard it being a huge Pac-12 fan.

Once I was over the shock of my ignorance, I dove into the story and was completely engrossed.

For those who aren't familiar with the story, I won't do it justice by giving you an explanation, but in a nutshell, Joe Roth was a JC transfer quarterback at Cal who overcame cancer as a college freshman and had a phenomenal junior season in 1975.
