The January 1, 1971 Rose Bowl win might be #1 on my list. I just missed the previous RB (1952 loss to Illinois) so the win was a culmination of my almost 20 year love affair with Stanford football. I was lucky to be one of the 35mm operators on the USIA film "One Man, Jim Plunkett." So I was in the corner of the end zone when Bob Moore made his spectacular catch and on the 50 yard line when the band played the Barnes' version of the Star Spangled Banner post game (the RB committee refused the offer to play it pregame). It was a film that by statute (propaganda) could not be screened in the USA. It actually was telecast one time only many years later on PBS. As a crew we won two first place awards at the World Sportsfilm Awards in 1972.

So, my top ten (witnessed in person).

1) Rose Bowl over Ohio State
2) 1970 over USC
3) Rose Bowl over Michigan 1972
4) Upset of Michigan State 1962
5) Big Game 1990
6) Win vs Ohio State 1955
7) Big Game 1991 (Vardell and shutting up Palawski)
8) USC 1975 (Mike Lankford)
9) Win over #1 Washington 1982
10) Win at Oklahoma 1980 (Trying to keep my lens dry in a driving rainstorm)

Individual performance
1) Dave Chaney SJS at Stanford 1971
2) Ed Cummings in win over MSU 1962
3) OJ Simpson vs Stanford 1968
