100% agree. As much as I have loved Stanford football over the past 50 years, I prefer the drop football entirely option. I doubt there will be a meaningful reduction in applications, in any event.
Some of my best memories on the Farm revolved around Stanford football. Pre-game tailgaters with beer and bloody marys. Sitting on the sunny side with girls in bikini tops. Dragging a pony keg into the stadium, with an okay from security. Listening to Arthur P Barnes' National Anthem. Watching Elway and Margerum; Nelson, too. Trying to understand the halftime show. The cannon. Enjoying the occasional victory post game band performance. Driving to LA to watch us play in So Cal. Following the band through the streets of San Francisco before Big Game and so many more. . . .
Would hate to see it go away.
Free Phogge!!!! And no, crimson doesn't refer to the Tide.
