One correction, Lex. This is THE worst four year stretch in Stanford football history, not one of them.
I also take umbrage that Cal fans are revolting. My wife and daughter are not revolting. I wonder if in weird bizarro parallel universe world where Cal offered the fellowship instead of Stanford, or even if I had access to that magical $12,000 for a year of grad school in Berkeley, or I had asked my father for the money when he knew full well I had full rides to Stanford and MIT or could take one of three well-paying (but not what I was looking for long-term) job offers instead, he would have said, "sure, Go Bears," and I'm on BearInsider right now saying how Stanford fans aren't revolting, my (different) wife and (different) daughter (or son) aren't revolting. They were actually my first choice until, well you know, the money wasn't there.
Yes, I said it. Stanford was my financial safety school.
