Farm bubble II

I clearly do not understand their logic. The Saturday before Thanksgiving has traditionally been Big Game day. Two Big Games in December do not a paradigm shift make. From the whining daily editorial to overscheduled and spoiled children of baby boomers (yes, I'm a baby boomer too):

The 111th Big Game played between the Cardinal and the Berkeley Golden Bears will occur on Nov. 22 at Berkeley’s Memorial Stadium. Big Game is historically each team’s last game, but this year, Cal plays Washington two weeks later. This, however, is not the biggest scheduling error. Rather, for Stanford students, this year’s Big Game falls on the first Saturday of Thanksgiving break.

Additionally:

...Stanford should have fought for a date when more students would be in town so as to avoid a significantly diminished Big Game fan base...The first email Stanford Athletics sent regarding Big Game on Oct. 15 simply advertised a rally bus and did not warn students that Big Game falls on Thanksgiving break.

And the final straw!

It did not even mention that the game is at Cal.

At least not all is lost. In the comment section:

Please stop whining and get your butts to the game and cheer on the team. It’s Big Game! What type of students are being admitted today? This is not good a thing.

Stop your whining, Stanford students! We didn’t even get a whole week off for Thanksgiving - we got Thursday-Sunday. You couldn’t stay one extra day to go to the biggest sporting event of the year, even when you had a whole week more of vacation right after that? If you care enough to whine, you should care enough to fly out on Sunday. I’m taking days off of work to fly home for Big Game. What happened to the student body?

I couldn’t agree more. What happened to looking at the football schedule on gostanford.com?

Seriously, can’t you just look online and find out all this in 2 min? Do you ask Stanford to wipe your bottoms too?
