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.

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?

I still have my seat cushions, too.

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.
