Come now, Nick, there's no need to exaggerate.

"Hundreds of Stanford fans" stretches belief

I was led to believe this was going to start "My name is Nick, and I am a big dummy." False advertising as always!

1. Two turnovers - one was a fumble, not INT. But with regards to the INT, we wouldn't have been in 3rd and Sixteen except for one of the handful of egregious calls on the afternoon - and its gauche to complain about the refereeeing when on the top side of a 30 point stomping, but it felt like we were on the bad side of some calls - including one that indirectly led to the end zone interception.

2. Cal, as a historical perspective is kind of a weird spot. We're no longer a historical, never been sort of school like say Temple or Rutgers. With pros like Marshawn, Keenan, Cam Jordan, Alex Mack, etc .etc and some intermittent success like early Tedford and late Dyke and even early Wilcox - we're a fairly middle of the pack program. So this is why we do this - I think, the middling usual results make games like this so sweet. A bad program will never get here, and a great program doesn't take pleasure in individual wins - but for those in the middle, this was a truly truly sweet afternoon.
