No need to apologize for the spoiler, 76lsjumb. I purposefully came to the CARDboard to see if the game would be worth watching. I think I'll pass on even the first 90 seconds.
Since the game stunk, let me see if I'm any good at this thread-drift that others have perfected.
Speaking of the anticipation of watching recorded Stanford games...
A couple of years ago, I had to record the Stanford-Oregon game--the one that we won in overtime--because my wife and I had tickets to see Eddie Izzard. (Don't laugh. I missed the men's basketball Elite Eight game versus Maryland because we had tickets to see Vagina Monologues. Go ahead and laugh now.)
Anyway, I was following the action on my phone, and Stanford had a 4th and 1 deep into Oregon territory late in the fourth quarter, when the theater staff announced that all electronic devices had to be shut down. Two hours later, I rushed home to see the ending of the game. Of course, that was worth watching, live or recorded!

If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
