Excerpted from the Palo Alto Post Examiner:

Friends of Stanford’s mother say she’s quite concerned the rest of the Pac-10 won’t show up.  Said one friend who wished to remain unnamed:

“It’s pretty obvious that the nine of them loathe the poor kid.  She thinks it’s because he’s smarter and more handsome than the rest of them.”

The woman shrugged.

“I guess.”

When asked if the mother had a back-up plan, the friend answered quickly, “Sure, sure.  She called Duke, of course, and Princeton.  It will be alright.”
