The SJSU series was OK when the game was always played at Stanford, even though Stanford was in a position to schedule more attractive games. When San Jose wanted split home and away games, the series became much less desirable. When Ted Leland decided to continue the series, with some games at San Jose, "because it was necessary to keep them D1 eligible," I was not happy about it. (This was done at a time when there was talk of Stanford leaving the Pac 10.) When San Jose backed out of a scheduled game at the last minute to play a body bag game, it made me mad. (UC Davis was the replacement.) When San Jose then insisted that Stanford was obligated to play them every year out of tradition, with a much bigger payout, and with games at San Jose, I totally lost interest in the series.
