I just learned this morning that Stanford will be only the 2nd team from California to play at Clemson - not all that surprising. Who was the first? And for bonus points, who was their coach?

A body bag game, but not SJSU. Hints - the game was in 1990, the coach was a former NFL coach, and the school's final football season was 1991.

Which means….
Stanford will be the first California-based team to ever score a point in Frank Howard Memorial Stadium.
let's hope so.....

I would add Hunter, for Catfish Hunter. And my personal favorite, Joe Rudi.
Original Oakland A's HoF inductees? Jackson, Hunter, Henderson.

Well I was trying to post a photo of Charley O with most of the A’s stars mentioned above, but the various hieroglyphics in the Cardboard don’t seem to allow a simple photo upload that isn’t a URL.
