I don't remember the actual score but I recall we got our butts kicked. I do well remember that I was at the game, got sunburned on the sunny side and that it was the first date with my wife!
Hmm, I don't remember Stanford ever being routed by Oklahoma. Maybe before my time? In 1980, we defeated OU rather handily and I attended the game in Norman in 1984 where we lost by 12. The Sun Bowl with Toby Gerhart and Tavita-instead-of-Andrew was a close loss. Maybe in the 1970s?
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)
