During my undergrad days, I saw four memorable Big Games:

1979 - Cal DB Ron Coccimiglio made a great play to knock down Turk Schonert\'s 4th and goal pass on the last play of the game.  Cal wins 21-14.
1980 - Late in the 4th quarter, Vincent White fumbled a handoff from John Elway inside the Stanford 5.  Cal recovers and scores.  Cal wins 28-23.
1981 - Stanford blitzed Cal 42-21.  The memorable part was cheering Darrin Nelson afterward in his last game.  Until recent times, the greatest running back in Stanford history.
1982 - everyone knows the story of the last minute.  Yet this game was bizarre in other ways especially the phantom Mariet Ford TD in front of the Stanford section.

Other vivid memories:
1985 - Cal kicker Leland Rix misses a chip shot FG late in the game.  Stanford wins 24-22.  No one named Leland could beat Stanford, right?
1986 - a horrible loss in Berkeley.  Almost got ill watching Joe Kapp carried off the field.
1987 - Brian Johnson to Walter Batson for 82 yard TD.  I may still be a little hoarse from yelling at Batson as he sped away from the Cal defenders.
1990 -  ;D
1991 - Vardell running behind Whitfield.  Pound it, pound it, then pound it some more.  Vardell carried 39 times that day.
1997 - Stanford won 21-20 in the 100th Big Game.  But both teams played poorly.  The weather was overcast and drizzly.  And the Cal fans tore down the fence and stormed the field after the loss.
