What I find most amusing in those BI threads is the belief expressed by many that the game at Santa Clara stadium shouldn't come on a "Ca'l year". I have no doubt that the exact same posters would be expressing outrage if the rumored date of the game was 2015 and that the neutral site game shouldn't happen in a "Stanford year." There's no supportable logic why doing the neutral site game during a "Ca'l year" is less advantageous to Ca'l than doing it in a "Stanford year." Those folks are just reactionary knuckleheads who will wail and gnash teeth no matter was the proposal.

I also get a chuckle every time someone states stadium downsizing as an issue. Ca'l stadium is what, 20% larger than Stanford even though they have 3X the students and alumni? And they downsized several thousand in the latest renovation? Hello pot, meet kettle. You have a lot in common.

Agree on all points.
