Off-topic: 24-23 at the Coliseum!

Posted on October 6, 2007 by Cathy Kirkman

We missed the first half because my younger son had a birthday party today.  My older son checked the Stanford game in the third quarter -- we finally found it on the Versus channel -- and we wondered what had happened in the first half, with USC up just 9-0? 

Then it all unfolded.

As a kid growing up in Palo Alto, I will never forget the thrill of watching Plunkett and Vataha.   Back then my sister, in a cheerleader outfit, got to be on the sidelines with Prince Lightfoot, and the dollies gave us their used paper pom-poms to play with afterwards. 

Now my boys have Pritchard and Bradford.   New memories today  -- what a game!
