Lucky to win that many. But having a goal is key.

Do you believe in signs?  I think I was just given one.  I was driving my car listening to a classical music station while thinking about the upcoming football season.  I was pondering whether our young unproven players could step up and surprise everyone as I reached down and changed the radio station to a classic rock channel and I was jolted.  It was playing All Right Now.  I listened to the entire song with a big smile on my face, and when it was finished I switched back to the classic music station.  My jaw dropped and a chill ran up my spine as I heard the William Tell Overture playing on my radio.  Call it coincidence if you like, but I believe it was a sign of big things to come this football season.

Incredible! That settles it! As chance would have it, I literally just landed in Reno. And I was just thinking of Stanford football when I read your story, too. It must be a sign that I should immediately go take the 30-1 odds on our PAC 12 championship! 

(But I was going to do that anyway.)

Thank you for sharing your story, martyup. It nicely encapsulates the joys of being a fan in August.

Very cool.  For sheer joy, I'll take the post-2013 Rose Bowl version, as big as I'd ever seen the Band:

As it just so happens, I do not believe in signs, but I like yours.  I am approaching this season with unwarranted optimism, which is the prerogative of any fan in the pre-season.  A few emotional boosts along the way (from sacred fight songs if necessary) are always welcome.

I don't want to go back to the old mascot, but I will always prefer the late 60's pre-game fanfare. It began with the Indian (Native American) fanfare, then morphed into Surf City, after which the band marched down the field to 'Come Join the Band'. Great stuff. 'All Right Now' will do for in game stuff, but the older one was really fun.

I was easily impressed back then, but I always thought how the fanfare morphed into the Hamm's Beer theme "from the land of sky blue waters..." was great.
