If you had to put your finger on a single on-field moment that announced the transformation of Stanford football, it would be easy. November 14, 2009, just a bit past 3:00 PM Pacific time in the Los Angeles Coliseum. You know what happened. After a drive that took the heart out of a heartless USC team, the upstart Cardinal took a commanding 48-21 lead with 6:47 to play. Instead of accepting that, head coach Jim Harbaugh famously kept his offense out on the field and went for two. Afterwards he innocently explained that he only wanted to keep his team's positive momentum going.

Up until now, the best quote we knew from that game was Harbaugh's "What's your deal?," but now we've got another from Harbs -- "I want to put 50 on these motherfuckers."
