This one, brief, shining moment is the only thing the weenies really own in football lore and fame. The only thing they have. This is what gives it eternal, zombie life. Nothing else matters in WeenieWorld for the simple reason that they don't have anything else. Rose Bowls? Championships? Trophy talk? They got nuthin', man. NUTHIN' except this two-headed calf.

See, that's exactly why The Play doesn't bug me.  Every time it gets trotted out, it reminds me that Cal Football has nothing better to celebrate from the last 39 years.

Exactly.  Remember when they gave out bobbleheads for it at Big Game a few years back?  It was them admitting they had no other accomplishments worth mentioning at any time in the preceding 30+ years.

I got one of those bobbleheads and proudly gave mine to a child of a Bear alum that I was coaching in youth soccer.   I told the child that this was given out at Cal to celebrate the most significant accomplishment in Cal football in the last 40 years.  

The kid looked at this odd bobble head thing and thought I was joking, but his Dad had to confirm that my gift was legit and from Cal.

FWIW - I know, I just know, Stanford Stadium will have a replay of the blocked try at the end of last year's game.    I hate that we have this nostalgia thing as a promotion in Stanford Stadium, and can only hope that Cal won't have a big lead by the time that promo is revealed.
