See if you can get in on the "Toby the Van" game day tailgate...try searching for it on Facebook. Those guys throw a good tailgate (they've driven to and hosted tailgates at both BCS bowls in the last two years), and I think they're popular enough this year (or maybe just organized enough rather) to require RSVPs over Facebook. I don't think there's an RSVP limit, and I think you just chip in what you can for some pretty good burgers. I don't know if they do guided campus tours during the weekdays in the summer, but that might be something to research beforehand. Right next to the aforementioned Rodin sculpture garden is the Cantor Art Museum as well. (Anyone know if The Thinker is back in front of Meyer Library?)
There's a lot to do in SF too--famous restaurants, Ghirardelli Square, Fisherman's Wharf, a Giants game, a Niners game, or nightlife are all things to consider as well if a pastoral college campus is too quickly toured :) Check out Zagat's or Lonely Planet for SF recommendations. Be prepared for expensive gas and paid parking in CA...
Also, I'm rather jealous that I can't make this trip with y'all (I'm in Austin)...sounds like an epic road trip in the making! Throw a frisbee around on the Oval for me.
