Treggs was simply amusing to me at the time, but I hated Pawlawski with a passion. I vividly remember that play Yvonne describes. The Stanford player had just been tackled out of bounds, and Pawlawski bent over and started screaming at him -- with the official in the immediate vicinity and a few Cal coaches right there as well. He was absolute idiot. The official had no choice but to flag him, and the coaches were completely exasperated -- but they had allowed that level of behavior.

Another fun moment from that game was when Bob Whitfield went down, early in the first quarter, I think. As Stanford trainers attended to him on the field, the Cal bench started taunting him -- an even worse offense than Pawlaski's. So the ABC cameras are zooming in on Whitfield lying flat on the ground, and he chooses that exact moment to respond to the heckling by raising his hand and flipping off the Cal bench. There was no avoiding it, so Brent Musberger cleverly said, "I think Whitfield's telling the Cal bench that he'll be okay." He was already one of my favorite players, but that pretty much clinched it.
