At the risk of more thread drift... I recorded the Stanford-Maryland game because my wife and I had tickets for a performance of "The Vagina Monologues" at the Canon Theater in Beverly Hills. I heard the score on the car radio on the way home, so I deleted the recording before watching it. I intentionally did not read any media reports about the game, because I knew they would only make me more upset. Until I read the posts above I had no idea about the details. Oh, and the theater has since been demolished and is now, I believe, a hotel.
What I choose to remember about the 2000-01 team is the victory over Duke, winning the Pac-10, and being ranked #1 for at least part of the season. On a side note, we defeated the two teams--Duke and Arizona--that played for the national championship. I wonder how often that has happened in college basketball?
N.B. Full disclosure: Stanford split against UA, with a win on the road and a loss at Maples. Doesn't change the fact mentioned above, though.

If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
