<p>Hardly the answer y'all are looking for, but my son solved the student crush problem--he doesn't go to the games and hasn't bought a spirit card since his first year. Actually he did go to one game--parents weekend three years ago, but he made us leave at halftime. Well it was 41-14 or so over Stanford. And btw, the Stanford band really sucks.</p>
<p>Any of you folks going to parents weekend this year? It will be the last for us. Look for me. I'll be the one wearing cardinal and gold.</p>
