Thanks for the memories, guys. Don Bunce quarterbacked the first Stanford game I ever saw, also, in 1971. However, I recall neither the opponent nor the score. So how do you do it, Garvin (and so many others)? Do you actually remember the score and stats from those games more than 40 years ago.
Now, I do remember a lot from that 1/1/72 Rose Bowl victory over Michigan. I was the guy who, as Bunce was completing pass after pass to get us into field goal range on the last drive, stood up and yelled "Bunce for President!" Remember? Hmmm. Well, it really happened--and what a sweet, sweet victory over the team that I loved to hate from the state of my birth.
On edit: The TRUE, actual score of the game was 13-10. As anyone who was there or saw it on television will attest, on a second-half Michigan kickoff (Don't remember, but it must have been to open the half.), our kickoff returner caught the ball around our five-yard line, ran laterally and backwards a bit, was hit at the 2 & 1/2, and was clearly carried into the endzone by the Michigan defense. That is not a safety. Our ball on the 2 & 1/2. Made the outcome after Rod Garcia put it between the uprights that much sweeter, though.
