My bona-fides as a SIX-decade supporter and follower of Stanford Football are well known to most on this site so I won't go into them here. The same folks know my sentiments about Shaw's stunningly failing stewardship of said program. I will say, in response to the piece in The Athletic and the predictable reactions here, simply that the state of the program has me returning to a personal benign neglect of and detached indifference towards the current Shaw Status Quo: the moribund, drab, eroded program over which he now presides. I plan to attend at least one game next fall, for mainly social reasons, and will probably watch some portions of what may be on national television. My only hope is that at some point the powers-that-be at Stanford someday come to their senses and reinvigorate football. In the meantime I truly and dearly miss it, as I did from 2002 through 2006. #MuirAndShawMustGo.

I've only been a fan since 1979 but in our tailgate group it looks like four of twenty people are dropping their tickets for this coming season.  Some are consolidating (six people to split four tickets) and so far two are dropping their tickets.   I considered dropping one of mine as the smart half of our couple skipped all the games last year (did attend some tailgaters) and having experienced a game free fall for the first time in a long time is likely to skip most or all the games this year.  Last year I had a difficult time finding people to use my extra ticket, given the schedule this year I'm guessing that will be much harder....and yes, most in our group (including me) now go for the social aspects of the tailgater...which if we were organized we could do at someone's house (if they got the Pac-12 network)....
