Fares are available for less than $500.  Which is amazing given that it is the Holiday season.

A BCS bowl stage is great for the athletes and the program.  It suspect it will really help the program take yet another step.

In year 4, Harbaugh has got the team into a BCS game.  And really, the team was much closer to winning the national championship than finishing at .500.  It has been a very good year.

It is bad it is on a Monday for families thinking of attending the game.  But Monday night is ideal for a program seeking more PRIME TIME.  And it is more representative of the pressure and hype of the BCS NCG than a day game on January 1.

Getting into a BCS game for the second time in 11 years is pretty good.  There are a lot of FBS AQ programs that have NEVER been to a BCS game in this BCS era.  And a lot of those programs are going to need to change their anti-Stanford arguments.

Roble: check.

Girl: fail.

I\'m on the fence about whether I will be there. Hoping.

Darn, I won\'t be able to make it due to work commitments. I was still holding out hope we\'d end up in the Fiesta. Oh well... can\'t complain about a BCS bowl.

Just bought tickets for my son and I (my wife and daughter couldn\'t swing the Monday night thing).  Virgin America flies direct from SFO to Ft. Lauderdale, FYI.  Hope to meet you in person while we\'re out there Garvin.  Go Cardinal!!!

My 16 year old son and I are going from the bay area.  He can miss a day of school.
