From 1968-1972 he was the guy I loved to hate in the Stanford football universe.  I will never forget the Stanford band playing an off key version of "The Old Gray Mare, He Ain`t What He Used To Be" in the 4th quarter when we beat hell out of Under Stanford Control (again) in the Coliseum in 1971 which clearly irritated the old coach.  Later on from 1972-1976 while in dental school at UCLA, I religiously looked forward to his weekly television shows on Under Stanford Control (again) football which were the most entertaining broadcasts on the tube.  He was always the guy I loved to hate but he was the kind of opponent that made college football fun for me.  All these years later, it is practically the only sport I still am passionate about and his contribution will always be memorable.  Those of you too young to remember him missed a special personality.

AncientCity, McKay said that the Stanford fans swore at his team and directed racial remarks to his black players after U.SC won at Stanford in 1972 which led to his famous comment, "I'd like to beat Stanford by 2,000 points."  Were you around Stanford Stadium for that one?  I would welcome a first hand report.

You cannot argue with his record or that of his successor John Robinson.  Between 1957 and 1990, Stanford only beat U.SC 3 times. We still have a lot to do to make up for 33 years of frustration.
