I've got many Stanford grad friends and have joined them for pre-game tailgates there at The Farm...always a good time. My wife and I even had season tickets to watch Tara Vanderveer's teams play...It's truly an outstanding University and I'm glad we continue to play them.
Again, as for the Stanford Band...although both Administrations struggle to 'control' them...they are most often a refreshing eclectic departure from the "same 'ole...same 'ole" fare at half time...no offense to those band members intended.
