It sounds to me like, for some of you, Big Game doesn't feel big because you're butthurt about the team sucking. Others bemoan the fact that the game can't be big because there just aren't many fans interested in seeing Stanford and Cal play. Well, boo frickin' hoo!
My five years at Stanford:
1980 -- Stanford was 6-4, Cal was 2-8. BIG GAME!
1981 -- Stanford was 3-7, Cal was 2-8. BIG GAME!
Let's take a pass on 1982. Still BIG GAME!
1983 -- Stanford was 1-9, Cal was 4-5-1. BIG GAME!
1984 -- Stanford was 4-6, Cal was 2-8. BIG GAME!
Last year, no one attended. BIG GAME!
When I was growing up in the Midwest in the 1970s, none of my friends cared or even knew about Stanford-Cal and the Axe. H*ll, very few of my classmates or teachers had even heard of Stanford, and if they had, some of them thought it was in Connecticut. Screw them all. BIG GAME!
Bottom line. If you're a Stanford fan, you care about Big Game. You just do. If you don't care, have your pulse checked. If your pulse is beating, check to make sure that you bleed red. If you bleed red, then ask yourself why you are spending so much time on The CardBoard putting down one of the storied traditions that, given all of the divisions in this country and world, is here to unite us.
BIG GAME!
Absolutely!!
+1000 !
Beat Kal!
