It's weird how this has worked out over the past 25 years.Â
Both programs are locked into a dynastic cycle relative to each other where one program's ascendancy is directly linked to the other program's decline. Big games are competitive during those brief transition years but otherwise one sided . (Bruce Snyder -> Walsh/Willingham -> Tedford -> Harbaugh/Shaw).
Naturally I'm hoping that our turn at the top will last forever or at least a very long time, the Roman Empire of dynastic cycles, but the evidence suggest otherwise. The Rhine will not hold, barbarians will appear in Palo Alto and we'll have to suffer through the Berkeley based Ostrogoths sitting on the Big Game throne along with the loss of all learning and civilization in the West until Stanford ascends again.Â
At least that's my story.
(And see Garvin, I really DO hate tea.)

In 1938 Neville Chamberlain declared "Peace in our time", Superman first appeared in Action Comics, Seabiscuit beat War Admiral ....... and C.a.l last won the Rose Bowl.
