#45 is interesting because their was a huge fire in Oakland that day, and my previous trip to bay area was in top 20, which was the earthquake game world series in 89, so i was a magnet for natural disasters

I was at that game, very hot in Strawberry Canyon, shirtless onlookers on legendary Tightwad Hill. The fire started in the afternoon, was under control, but the embers left unattended. The next day the wind fanned the fire into an inferno. On Sunday, I could watch the fires burning from my condo in the Marin Headlands.

From Wikipedia:
One of the unfortunate highlights (for Cal) of that season was against future national co-champion the undefeated Washington Huskies. The game was at home, where California was able to stand up to Huskies unlike any other team that season. The team stopped Washington from scoring within the Cal red zone on multiple occasions, but lost the game on an incomplete pass with 5 seconds left in the game. Cal lost that game 17 to 24. (later that year UW destroyed Michigan in the Rose Bowl, another game I attended, Vive UW !)
