Damned right, Bostondevil! I'll go back up and spork you later, after I say that detractors need to lighten up. It's only comedy, people. Sheesh!

Stanford won the right to be in the bowl game, and the Rose Committee and the television network should allow whatever aspects of the school to be put on display, in whatever the typical avenues of display exist. If you find it a little to hard to take, change the channel. It's that simple. Your TV does have a tuner, doesn't it?
They entertain in their own style, and others (Southern is fantastically talented) use theirs. Stanford's is unique. Learn appreciation of being different.
