I once overheard the score to one of the most important games in recent Stanford history, very unusually, from the big mouth of Jim Harbaugh himself!  (And I don't even know him.)

My son was attending Bing Nursery School at Stanford in 2012.  They throw an annual auction, an event that I find a bit stuffy and uncomfortable, but I had to attend it anyway.  Making matters worse, the organizers had the nerve to plan the event on the night of the big Oregon game, back when we still had our "Oregon problem" and couldn't get over the hump.

Jim Harbaugh was also in attendance at this auction because his daughter was attending the pre-school (actually in my son's class, by chance).  It was a crowded event, and I had made a point of avoiding anyone and anything that might reveal the score.  I was so close.  At the end of the evening, my wife and I were on our way out when we passed by a group of people containing Harbaugh and I distinctly heard him say in his loud, EUTM voice: "They won? That's great!"  

I was super annoyed, but I didn't dare say anything!  At some level, it was cool to know that he still cared.
