Sadly necessary and well said. To the point: At the start of the season my wife and I made plans to return to Berkeley for our Anniversary ( we were married in Tilden Park), and to catch the Big Game. My wife goes to one game every three years. We bought tickets. We will be going as planned, but instead of going to the Big Game, we will spend the day in Point Reyes or The City. No need to risk being on our butts for 4 hours watching this team play like they did with Syracuse or the other painful losses I've seen this year. I will not be renewing season tickets next year. How deeply sad for me. My whole family is sad for me.
For what it's worth, I think you should go to the game and keep your season tickets. I've had a realization this season that so much of the game-day experience for me isn't what happens on the field, it's bigger than that.
Am I thrilled with the outcome? Definitely not.
But I take an immense amount of pride (and it sounds like you do as well) in being a Cal graduate and gameday's just hit different these days.

Happy Anniversary, have an incredible time.
It’s been a mostly painful season and on the verge of 5-7.
Your alternate choice sound smarter and less painful.
Happy anniversary!
