Yesterday (Nov 20, 2022) was the 40th anniversary of "The Play" or "tip-toe thru the tubas". The Cal Bears beat the Stanford Cardinals 25-20 because the Stanford band was on the field. Tyrell's trombone that he had since the 5th grade was dented. It is now in the College Football Hall of Fame.

My then-girlfriend (we were married just 7 months later and are still) and I were there for the game. We didn’t leave like many people did and we saw “The Play” from great seats. It was the most amazing thing!

We had season tickets to Stanford for all of the Elway years. That was some great Stanford football in that era!

I had no idea that Kevin Moen and Gary Tyrrell became good friends after that game. What a great friendship and what a funny way to start it!

Thanks for posting.
