I don't remember the exact situation with Harbaugh, but it sounds like that was just him throwing a fit, which isn't out of character.

I recall with that game, and someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but we were going to kick a FG, and Carroll tried to ice the kicker, so Harbaugh came back out and went for the TD.  I think it was part of his attitude of not taking crap from Carroll and Under Stanford Control, part of their multi-year delicate dance.  I remember enjoying the hell out of it.

French Rage - That's exactly how I remember it and I thought it was hilarious that Harbaugh continued to annoy Carroll.

As for Sonny Dykes calling time out yesterday at the end of the game, I think he only did it because UCLA / Rosen screwed up the kneel down / victory formation timing. There were two minutes left in the game when UCLA got the ball and Cal had all three of their timeouts. On first down, UCLA ran the ball up the middle not knowing if Cal was going to burn any of their timeouts. They didn't call timeout so UCLA went to a kneel down on second down. But for some reason Rosen snapped the ball with 10 second left on the play clock. On third down, Rosen did the same thing so there was still 55 seconds left on the game clock (when there should have been under 40 seconds if Rosen had run the play clock down on both second and third down). UCLA was going to have to punt again. That's when Cal decided to take that timeout and run some more plays. Mora looked pissed on the sideline on the second down kneel down. Apparently Rosen either can't do math or doesn't understand the way the play clock works. It was weird.
