Just SO entertaining: The band is on the field!
California scores a late TD to take a 19-17 lead over favored Stanford.
John Elway [That John Elway] takes Stanford down the field to hit a short
field goal...Stanford 20-18...maybe 4 seconds left in the game.
Stanford kicker hits a squib kick...California player gets it....and laterals
galore happen. Runner evades tackles and around the 15 yard line the band
[both bands?] are on the field. He dodges everybody and scores a TD...
California 25-20. Does it count? Flags all over. It counts! 25-20 Cal.
Announcer justifiably goes quite crazy. One heart breaks...one is joyful.
The following year, the Stanford Band tryouts included tackling drills.
