Yesterday afternoon I along with thousands of other Cal football fans suffered through three dismal quarters of football as we watched our Golden Bears fall behind their hated Stanfurd rivals, 17-6. It was a mistake-filled performance rife with dropped passes, bad throws, stupid penalties and missed tackles. We feared the worst. But a football game has four quarters and it was in the 4th fifteen minutes that the slumbering Bear awoke and scored three consecutive touchdowns to wrest victory from the jaws of defeat. Totally unexpected joy and bedlam ensured. Hugs with strangers, high-fives aplenty and rushing of the field were all on tap.
What pure unadulterated joy! After celebrating on the field I levitated home. Cal had kept the Stanfurd Axe. Nothing like it.
It was my 44th Big Game and while it won't rank among the best I've seen it will be among the most exciting, unexpected and satisfying. Go Bears!
