Big Game 8
A close Big Game but omens that Stanford would win
that night
A Cal field goal attempt that hit the crossbar
falling back rather than through the uprights
An Axe cheer by a poet that drowned out the Cal
fans
Probably was heard in the Stanford Stadium stands
Love with ankle retaped during the half through
the line in a blink
A dash to the end zone of 57 yards to Cal upset
dreams sink
A close Big Game and the thick Red Line was bent
but would not break
Stuffing the run in the 4th quarter
waiting for a Cal mistake
It came in the form of an intercepted touchdown
seeking forward pass
Pandemonium from the Cardinal fans knowing the
streak might last
A few more first downs against the Golden Bears
And once again Stanford would stuff them back into
their lair
Scarlett did a great imitation of Love
The mighty thick offensive line pushed and shoved
Game on the line with a fourth and two
Scarlett dove for three and the Bears chance for
upset almost through
Several more first downs taken, the clock continued
to wind down
Ending with Costello taking several knees to the
ground
To their credit the Bears played well but could
not escape their karma and fate
In the end 17-14 the Cardinal handed the Golden
Bears in a row Big Game loss number 8
