1982 California vs. Stanford Artwork: Canvas

By Vintage Brand™ not affiliated with or sponsored by Cal Bears
One of the most legendary games in college football history was the 100th edition of the "Big Game" between the California Golden Bears and Stanford Cardinal played on November 20, 1982 at California Memorial Stadium.  The Golden Bears won the matchup by a final score of 25-20 on what would become known as "The Play". Given the circumstances and rivalry, the wild game that preceded it, the very unusual way in which The Play unfolded, and its lingering aftermath on players and fans, it is recognized as one of the most memorable plays in college football history and among the most memorable in American sports. Stanford took a 20–19 lead on a field goal with four seconds left. The Golden Bears used five lateral passes on the ensuing kickoff return to score the winning touchdown and earn a 25–20 victory. Believing that the game was over, members of the Stanford Band came onto the field midway through the return, which added to the confusion and folklore. There remains disagreement over the legality of two of the backward pass attempts, adding to the passion surrounding the traditional rivalry of the annual "Big Game."
