Those are all fantastic memories. I will add a few more.
Tuan Van Le blocking Cal's chip shot FG on the last play of the game to preserve a tie in the 1988 Big Game.
Which was then eclipsed by John Hopkins nailing the game-winner at Berkeley two years later.
I also continue to be awed (as a golf fan) by Mariah Stackhouse's being 2 down with to 2 to play in the last match of the 2015 NC vs. Baylor and erasing that deficit by going birdie-birdie on 17 and 18, then winning the match and the NC on the first extra hole. Just incredible to perform at that level with the entire season (and as a senior, Stackhouse's final match as a Cardinal) on the line.
Kiki Pickett's PK which clinched the NC for Stanford women's soccer in 2019 over the much-hated Tar Heels.
Shane Griffith improbably winning the wrestling national championship at 165 lbs in 2021 even as Stanford Athletics had announced 8 months prior that the wrestling program would be cut after the season. Everyone in the arena was chanting "Keep Stanford Wrestling" after the match. I still get chills.
