I just wanted to drop by and say that I was impressed by how classy the Stanford fans at the Rose Bowl were. My group of friends from college and I had a good time hanging out with some recent grads while tailgating before the game. I even ran into a Stanford fan on the gold line after the game that also drove there from Tucson, where I'm living these days (small world, right?).

Hopefully your experiences were similarly good. Best of luck next season!

Yes, my experience with MSU fans mirrored your experience with Stanford fans.  There seemed to be an unusually high ratio of gracious fans to a-holes.  I was impressed with the turnout, which was at least 2:1 MSU to Stanford, and probably more.  Most of the fans I talked to were knowledgeable, gracious, and respectful both before the game, and after.  It felt better somehow to lose to good winners.  I appreciated the MSU band's tribute, and though I often cut the LSJUMB a lot of slack, in light of the MSU band playing "Come Join the Band" in tribute, I groaned at the wisecrack about couches.  Anyways, congratulations on being Rose Bowl Champions, and thanks for the gracious message after.
