Tougher question: was this the most satisfying win in rivalry history? There are so many to choose from.

That is a great question, Bob. So many come to mind, but 1986 was the first of the favorites I witnessed. It sent us to the Rose Bowl and Jim Harbaugh's guarantee came true.

I have to say: I absolutely LOVED reading this story. I’ll be carrying this high for quite some time. If this wasn’t the biggest upset in the series, it was mighty close. What a game!

That's absolutely great, Brian. Thanks for such a special comment. I LOVED writing the story. I've just been laughing all night, too. Unbelievable, wasn't it? A great game that is surely right there with the 1969 upset.
