Regarding the 1990 Big Game:

The joy of seeing the ending live in the stadium, for me, may have been equaled when leaving.  I did the usual - walked due west down through the campus to the Berkeley BART station.  While riding the escalator down, there was all sorts of hooting and hollering by Stanford fans.  There was a woman behind me - a C.al fan, maybe around 40 - looking very unhappy.  She snapped at us, "Well, we will enjoy the Copper Bowl while you go to the toilet bowl".  My mind was spinning with comebacks, and I had a cruel one teed up, but I realized it wasn't necessary.  I just let her stew in her own miserable state.  26 years later, that event still brings a smile to my face.

I had a similar post-game moment after the 2000 Big Game - our sixty consecutive victory.  I was walking down Frat Row and some drunk Weenie pledge yelled from his house rooftop "Stanford sucks!" One of the Stanford fans in front of me yelled back, "Dude, you were in middle school the last time Kal won Big Game." Even the guy's frat brothers were laughing at that one.
