The famous "Kick 6" from 2013 was more a lucky play than a whacky play. Nothing will ever beat the Big Game from 1982, though.

Several things about that California-Stanford episode really add to its legendary status:

1. The announcer's crazed, shrieking call on TV added to the excitement. "The band is out on the field! He's going to go all the way!!"

2. That was John Elway's last game at Stanford.

3. The guy who scored the touchdown spiked the ball and decked a Stanford band member -- who was facing the stands behind the end zone, oblivious to what was happening behind him -- at the same time. Cal was having a poor season with nothing to show for it, but I read somewhere that the Cal athletic department found an old trombone somewhere, beat the crap out of it with a hammer, and put it in their trophy case so this remarkable finish would go down in Cal football's history. LOL.

This photo from the end of the California-Stanford game should have won a Pulitzer, LOL:
