That's why I was happy to see Stanford do so well this year. My parent's alma mater, I grew up going to games and remember so many years of getting beat up by UCLA, USC, Washington and God forbid, Cal. I'd be curious whether they relaxed their standards for atheletes but I'd like to think not.

There were many "big games" against Cal, where the Stanford students would cheer to the Cal fans "That's alright, that's okay, you're gonna work for us someday!"
