Well, I can think of ןɐɔ rushing the field before a loss (as noted) and ןɐɔ rushing our field after a loss - but don't remember them rushing their own field after a loss.

They rushed their field after losing in 1996 and 1998. I believe 1996 was the year C.al's "mic man" told the student section "Nobody's leaving, we're going to rush the field, and we're going to get the Tree." The students did, in fact, rush the field and attacked the Tree. The scene in 1998 was pretty scary, with Stanford fans celebrating in the southwest corner, protected by a ring of yellow-jacketed security guys, as C.al fans tried to break through and start something ugly.

I miss those days when Cal fans still had fervor and cared a lot about the rivalry.  Their fan base is very dispassionate these days as evidenced by their difficulty in selling Big Game tickets last year.  It was more fun when the teams and the fans used to really hate each other.
