I chose to not join my friends in watching the game as I had other commitments, and thus missed out at getting to walk onto the field as a 50th reunion grad, and watching Stanford "coug" it's chances to win.  As it was, the attendance was pathetic, particularly for a "home coming."

Seems odd to complain about the lack of attendance in the sentence immediately following an admission that you contributed to said lack of attendance.

BC

Not odd, BC, but completely rational and altruistic.  I'm glad you care.
