I have two: 1991 with a bunch of white and gold defenders lying on the turf just after Vardell plowed through them for the exclamation point; and 1999 as Casey Moore went up the gut for 94 and I told my nearby 8-year old daughter in a very calm voice: "Holy ****. We\'re going to Disneyland."  She started screaming. Touchdowns are good, but Disneyland is better.  (And I was so nervous before that game, I could barely board the train.)

I also have keen memories from 1990, but not nearly as encyclopedic as Terry\'s.  This was my first BG as a newlywed in a mixed marriage. That marriage-to-be was nearly destroyed the previous Berkeley BG when Tuan Van Le preserved the tie and in my (c\'mon it was a tie) joy I basically concussed the eventual Mrs. Jacketree.

Great, great game as Terry lays out.  I\'m smack dab in the middle of the 50 on the west side rubbing elbows with BearBackers.  I have on GT gear to avoid getting rolled and sheesh, GT is on its way to a MNC, so I\'m wearing the gear regardless. (I think they crushed Wake that day.) Stanford drives at the end, pulls 4th downs out of their butts and scores.  Green goes for 2.  Lord knows I wouldn\'t be jumping up and down for a tie this time.  (It\'s one thing to get dumped by a girlfriend; much more expensive to get kicked out of the house and divorced.)  Still, so much time on the clock when you think about it....

Hardy intercepts the 2 point conversion pass; my wife is going crazy; my father-in-law looks like he wants to shove something up my anything in glee; the fans on the field!, the fans on the field! My mother-in-law and I look right at each other and know. Stanford will win. I\'m smiling. She\'s not.

Soooo....onside kick. Bearbackers quiet.  Penalty. Bearbackers mad. Field goal. Bearbackers cry. Yep. Quiet ride home. :D
