It looked pretty awesome. On tv it sounded like like CAL had more fans at the game.

We always do

Great!

The curmudgeon in me said: "Seriously? Rushing the field after beating a really bad Stanford team for the 3rd straight time?"

And I told the curmudgeon to shut up and let the kids have fun.

Fernando was standing around after giving the interview with the network shaking hands, taking photos, signing stuff, etc for a LONG time. He deserves success!

At this point rushing Stanford's field to get (keep) the axe is tradition. I don't care how bad they are or how good we are. We win, we go on their field. Simple as that.

I'd love to know how common it is for the opposing team's fans to storm the home team's field. Cause I don't think I've ever seen it done except for us. I think that's pretty cool, no matter how bad Stanford is.

"Stanford's team will soon be routed by our dazzling C
And when we serpentine* the Red will turn to green in our hour of victory!"

*Serpentine: Cal fans used to rush the field and do a conga line after we beat Stanford, home or away,

It's a debt yet to be fully repaid for stepping on our turf in in 1982.

I'll admit, I was opposed to it. But I'm glad it happened and hope we keep it up.

And this series has validated many times the old cliche "records don't matter".

First, you have to have enough fans at the game to storm the other team's field.

We do when the game is at Stanford.

Unscientifically I say 2-1 Cal fans. Many Stanford sections were sparsely filled.

Fernando is essentially a fan. He's one of us. He's just a got a hell of a lot more football talent than us. BTW, I had a vantage point at the game where I could really watch him throw. He's got an elite arm. The ball gets to the receiver really fast. It's almost like Kapernick fast but it's got just enough touch so the receivers hang on. He's got to eliminate the 1 INT mind blowingly dumb throw per game and he will be on his way to the NFL.

Except that's our field

Here's my video. Less life-imperiling taking this this year, since I was standing closer to midfield when the field rush started as opposed to the Cal endzone . Amazing time is always
