Wild World of Realigment My dad took my brother and I to the Stanford-USC game in Palo Alto in 1968 after we had just competed in the local punt-pass-and kick competition (is that even around anymore?). I was a USC and OJ Simpson fan (not so much anymore for obvious reasons) and have an autograph from him obtained at a Cal track meet. Plunkett to Gene Washington was the hookup back then, and Stanford lost by 2 or 3 points as I recall and missed 3 field goals.
