Okay....back to back posts. I just couldn't resist after reading this on the Stanford football board:

Stanford fans on whether or not they will attend this year's Big Game:

"I'm struggling with the decision. I've atttended 40 of the past 44 Big Games but I'm not sure I want to fight the snow in the Sierras, the amazingly crude Berkeley crowd, and the 90% chance of a loss. I have two decent seats in section R and can be reached at --------"

to which someone replied:

"I am guessing that many of the season ticket holders will decide to sell or otherwise dispose of the seats they were required to buy as part of the season ticket package.

I know I am considering it. going to weenieville stinks. "

Stanford is actually looking decent this year. Yeah, Cal's team is lookin a helluva a lot better, but it should be a good game. Come on Stanford fans, show some passion for Pete's sake.

Freshman year our side of Stanford Stadium was full despite it being one of the worst seasons in Cal history....we were likely to loose, and we did. But the atmosphere was still electric. Enough to turn me into a fan.

Stanford's crowd at the last two Big Games (both at Stanford AND at Cal) was weak. Sounds like this year Memorial will be a sea of Blue and Gold with a few red blemishes.

Funny how their nickname for a Cal fan is a "weenie" when their fans are the ones that wont even show up to games in mass anymore. Most apathetic bunch I've encountered. Kind of like Saint Francis kids post 2001 and pre-Chris Perry. Sad, sad, sad.

Three years ago, THEY were the one's saying they needed a more worthy opponent for their big rivalry. [READ that Stanford Daily article. Pretentious back in 2001, quite hilarious now. Basic premise: Cal sucks so Stanford deserves a better rival, and/or Cal needs to step up so Stanford fans will stop being so apathetic and bored with their constantly winning teams. ] Well, we've stepped up. But apathy still reigns in Tree-land.

Eat crow Furds. Eat crow.
