The Second-Greatest Day in Stanford Football History

Dr. X posts this from Gordon Biersch on Emerson:

"The greatest day in Stanford history was the 1971 Rose Bowl where Jim Plunkett and the boys knocked off #1 Ohio State.

"The second-greatest? Probably today. Stanford, coming off a two-year period in which the team went 6-17, is now 2-2 in the Jim Harbaugh era. That second victory, the one that boosted them to .500 for the season, was over #2-ranked USC, the most over-manned, over-coached, over-resourced professional team in Division I football.

"Stanford was a 41-point underdog going into the game. Their starting quarterback was on the bench (medical precaution after a seizure last week). The big question was, how bad would Pete Carroll run up the score, after what Harbaugh said about him?

"Fiddle-de-dum
"Fiddle-de-dee
"Stanford got 24
"USC got 23.

"It has come to the attention of The New York Times.

"And let me just say, God Bless you boys!"
