Cal’s New QB Is Charismatic, Pantsless

↵
↵Kevin Riley has been named the new starter at QB for Cal, beating out Nate Longshore for the job. How did he do it? By demonstrating the same qualities on display in his comeback victory against Air Force in the Armed Forces Bowl: agility, a knack for finding the open receiver, and a lucky pair of orange workout shorts that made it all happen.↵↵Riley is showing off school pride there, and not merely dropping his pants in public: he went to Beaverton High School, whose logo is visible on the shorts, so it’s really a kind of demented shout-out to his alma mater.↵

↵↵Further amusing pictures publicly available on Facebook display Riley’s pride in his Irish ancestry, his comfort with his own masculinity, and an effervescent charisma that just convinced me to bump Cal into my rankings. A man with this much zest for living simply has to be a winner.↵
