A couple more electric moments Baseball edition 

Tommy Edman 2-run homerun against Indiana to win the Bloomington regional 

Stanford vs Texas St. game 7 Stanford regional. 1-1 entering 9th inning. Texas st. scored 2 more top of the inning. Bottom of the 9th, Stanford down 3-1. Everything looked gloomy as Stanford hasn’t been able to hit Texas state pitching. 1st batter, Drew Bowser homerun. 2nd batter, Tommy Troy homerun. Sunken Diamond was electric. Eddie Park single, sac bunt Adam crampton, Broc Jones intentional walk.  Trevor Haskins walk off single. I could watch a rerun of the bottom of the 9th over and over.

That was my favorite Stanford athletic moment...

---

Those are all fantastic memories. I will add a few more.

Tuan Van Le blocking Cal's chip shot FG on the last play of the game to preserve a tie in the 1988 Big Game.

My second favorite Stanford athletic moment. Happened right in front of me, I was sitting in the Cal section. Loooooved it.

---

Electric in a different way, Christian McCaffrey's 75 yard touchdown catch on the first play of the Rose Bowl against Iowa.

BC

Third-favorite Stanford moment...I thought "we should be national champions" right when it happened.

---

Moore run for the Roses

If you're referring to Casey Moore's 90+ yeard run outdistancing the Cal DB the entire way...my fourth favorite Stanford athletics moment.

---

Fifth favorite Stanford moment..."What's Your Deal"
"What's YOUR Deal?" - Harbaugh and Carroll After 2009 Stanford-USC Game

Honorable mention:
1. Margerum catching an Elway pass over Ronnie Lott who couldn't believe Elway could throw that far.
2. Elway rolling to the left sideline throwing right across his body to an open Emile Harry in the far right corner of the end zone against Oklahoma.
3. John Lynch clocking Jerome Bettis. https://youtu.be/pCSf8SzDARo?t=17

And on the flip side, we gave up the go-ahead goal against Cal with less than 10 seconds left

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFWEWsRslTk

By the way, that was a horrendous sequence of calls at the end of the Cal game: 

1) It was the Cal player who played in a dangerous manner because she tried to head the ball below Harvey's waist (where her opponent's foot was likely to be). You've got to take both players' actions into account.

2) Even if the ref correctly adjudged Harvey to be solely in the wrong, the penalty (in both college soccer and FIFA) for dangerous play is an indirect kick.  There was no player-to-player (or ball-to-hand) contact, so I can't think of any circumstance where the ref could have rightfully awarded a PK to Cal on that play.

3) The eventual Cal goal scorer (on the rebound) ran into the penalty area before the ball was kicked.  She was so far ahead of the other players she even beat the player taking the PK to the ball. Encroachment. No goal. Stanford ball.

I'm a very casual soccer fan, but that has to be one of the most electric moments in all of Stanford sports history.

I was at Miracle at Maples 1 in 1988 when Todd Lichti & Co upset #1 Arizona. The crowd went nuts as we stormed the court. So much fun!  Stanford hadn't so much as earned a MBB postseason berth in the 46 seasons prior to that (and that was in the middle of World World 2). That win was both electric and a game-changer for Stanford athletics.  Here's a link to the original Daily article about it: Stanford Daily Archive

HERE is a good video explaining what happened with the Stanford keeper and the delay of game.

Thanks for the video. While it’s the correct call, why is it rarely called? What made this instance different from other instances? And if a keeper has 6 seconds to release the ball, I feel like most keepers hold on to the ball much longer than 6 seconds. Usually it’s just a warning or  yellow card, not a free kick. I’m just glad Stanford was victorious.

It’s like speeding - if everyone is doing 70 in a 55 zone, nobody gets pulled over unless they go 80. Reality is 6 seconds has always been ridiculous.  I would guess the average time for a GK to release a ball is 10 seconds and 12 certainly isn’t uncommon.

Why was it called here? You could claim Stanford was up late in the game; so it’s time wasting and Schnebly had been warned on a dead ball kick a bit earlier, but it’s still a weak explanation.

Finally, a card and play on would be on a dead ball - GK, throw in, restart on a foul, etc. With the game live and the GK in the box, an indirect free kick is technically the correct call. Again it is never actually called though.

Somewhere there is very short men’s thread, but this is more available…..

Stanford loses to Clemson 1:0 in the next round. Frankly, it wasn’t that close and Stanford should have lost by several more. I had been hopeful they could get on track, but this wasn’t fit and finish problems. This was comprehensively outplayed, and a big difference vs. their 3-2 win at Clemson earlier in the year. The 13-7 shot advantage for Clemson undersells how bad it was. Stanford barely threatened in the game, and was unable to maintain any consistent possession.
