I don't know why people keep complaining about that game.  It was a beautiful game, with Elway leading that amazing come-from-behind score to win with just seconds left in the game.  I've watched that game replayed countless times, and our victory never ceases to bring a smile to my face, right before I turn the TV off with 4 seconds left on the clock.

You should watch to the very end of the game, when Dwight Garner's knee is clearly down with no time left on the clock and the band descends onto the field in celebration.

That's the old school view of the event.
The new school would note the ref's should have called the game with the illegal forward pass.  And that forward pass would definitely be observed on any replay review if it happened today.   I think the Pac-12 Nets, or some other Pacific coast based show, covered that ~5 years ago.

All a distant memory now, and if that game had anything to do with Cal AD's kharma or Stanford AD's kharma since 1982 then it is definitely all good IMHO.

How about both illegal forward passes--the first one across the field and forward, the second, the over the shoulder pass that actually travelled a couple of yards forward.

And yes, the mock TD signal was beautiful while it lasted. Horrible call--the ball was rolling around on the ground when Mariet Ford grabbed it and stood up with the ball.

Life isn't fair. I swear to God it isn't.
