"Washington State, 2008 -- attendance 26,662. A Noah's Ark-type deluge. I was there."
I was there as well, and I would have a hard time believing that there were more than 5,000 people in the stadium. My family and I were approached by a Stanford PR employee, as we sat huddled in seats under the overhang that are usually reserved for handicapped seating, and asked if we would mind being the "Season Ticket Holders of the Game." We were the only season ticket holders he had been able to find. We were taken onto the field, filmed for the big screen, and given a football signed by Harbaugh and an umbrella. We got to see ourselves an the screen later in the game, smiling and waving to an empty stadium. I have a football, with Harbaugh's signature, as well as a notation of the date and the opponent of the wettest game I have ever sat through sitting on a shelf in my man-cave.
