1984 - my first Big Game. Drum major comes out dressed as Clark Kent, goes into a phone booth during halftime show and emerges as Superman with a Stanford S on his chest. Oh yea, we killed them 27-10
1988 - Tuan Van Le
1990 - enough said
1999 - clinching our first Rose Bowl berth in nearly 30 years.
2000 - F middle
2001 - walking down frat row after the game and some drunk pledge yells "Stanford sucks" to which a student in front of me yells back, "Dude, you were in middle school the last time Cal had the Axe."
2010 - Late in the third quarter, Cal shows their "play of the game" on their video board. 15 seconds of dead air & a blank screen. My older son, then 13, yells "THEY HAVE NOTHING! ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!" Bunch of former players sitting a couple of rows above us are falling over laughing so hard and many come down & high five him. Also birth of the term "Cattoused"
