Wow - what a mess and a very, very sad story for the family.Â
Yvonne, I couldn't agree with you more. Every time I go to that site it makes me sick. Clearly having a losing program has made these people even worse. CalVata (sp?) and wifeisaf*rd come off as very, very bitter, angry people. They are what is worst in UCB fans. I feel sorry for the guy's wife...talk about making a poor lifetime decision. Yes, Stanford grads can make some big mistakes. I saw some of this mentality with younger high school friends that went there after being denied by Old Union.  My kids picked up on the Cal chip on the shoulder when they took college visits at UCB as Stanford was mentioned negatively multiple times.  Â
Most of us that grew up in NorCal, applied to both schools. UCB is a great school (and a good bargain) and I would be happy if my children chose to go there.  The thin envelope can make haters out of people and that's sad.  These people deserve their crappy football team and a lifetime with no Rose Bowl.
