Pasadena, Calif. - Sam Ferguson just got here. We don't mean he just got to the Rose Bowl Stadium - he literally just got here.

They did build in time to create this nifty sign, though.
Much of the Los Angeles area has been awash in red and black this week, and the stadium certainly resembles Sanford Stadium on a home-game Saturday. And lots of Dawg fans put themselves through not a little inconvenience to get here.
Beth and Justin Gilland flew into LAX and hailed a ride to Burbank where they rented an RV and pulled into town on Thursday. After Ubering around town for a while they rented a Tahoe. That turned out to be too big a rig for the RV parking area near the stadium so they took it back with eyes on a Camry. A Mustang convertible would be just a few bucks more, the rental car rep said. Soon they were cruising in the silver beauty with the top down.
