There are usually a few but this time they seemed way more engaged with the fans. Like actually taking part in the fan celebration, carrying the Axe, etc. Normally they're either gone or hanging out with their families on the periphery, which is reasonable. I don't have any expectations that they share their moment with us, but it's super cool that they did.

Rushed the field last year. Got photos with Correia and Antzoulatos. Lots of fun. Players were pretty happy. Glad Ott and Mendoza are grooving on the fan thing
2009 was a fantastic celebration! There's photos of me somewhere doing "Furd angels" at midfield. I'm sure someone who was a better writer could compose a story about it being the last hurrah of my young adulthood.
That was the first win in a long time. I wasn't living in California then but would have been down on that field so fast. I went to 5 Big Games before that and was 0-5.
We sauntered on down maybe 5 min into the rush. I think I was on the West side after getting extra tickets from my friend's parents. Watched the goal posts come down. His dad was on the fundraising committee so he was like, well there goes 30K (or whatever the amount is for goalposts).
We took the goalposts after a loss back in '97 I think. The Furdies thought they could poke the Bear through the cage but they ran when the fence came down.
I do remember the riot cops coming into the stands. That was a fucking ugly move by those bullies. I'm not certain which year that was, though, although I lean towards '01. The '99 Big Game featured Deltha O'Neill for us. I recall that being the big memory of that game, not the fascists.
'03 was the first year under Tedford at Stanf*rd and that year was glorious. A crowd in the old Stanf*rd Stadium that was a near sellout and a clear majority of Blue & Gold.

I see.
I think 2009 was one of the best celebrations. Syd'quan riding on the shoulders of the fan was epic. I can't find the video of it.

I remember in 02 Boller riding on everyone's shoulders and Joe Igber just chilling in the stands.

The 100th Big Game. I was there.
Santa Clara County sheriffs didn't help the proceedings, either.
I still have my seat cushion. Was it '99 or '01 when the riot police came into the stands and started busting us up?
