I guess that I don't count as an alum, since I'm (miraculously) still
  here.  I was on the Cal 40, about ten rows back.  To say the least, 
  it was WEIRD!!  Guys looked like they were down, but suddenly you see
  this person running through the Stanfurd Marching Banned.  Then silence,
  then the cannon on Tightwad Hill went off.  They gave Cal the score.

Forget sanity; it felt good partying on the astroturf with thousands of
  others.  Then I went back to Evans Hall and finished up a lab.

Not hard.  John Elway, in his last game wearing the Cardinal and
  white.  Question: is it true that Elway (John) has never won a
  Cal-Stanfurd matchup?
