2025 Stanford vs San Jose State Predictions Thread - george - 09-24-2025

It’s nice to see a familiar face in the schedule for once.

Can't wait to see the nicknames for this game...it's just too easy. 25 variations of overachievers vs. overcomers.

I'm gonna suggest a change to our football team motto.
From:  
          Intellectual Brutality
To:  
     Hope springs eternal in the human breast;
     Man never Is, but always To be blest.
     The soul, uneasy, and confin'd from home,
     Rests and expatiates in a life to come.

Will need a pretty small font to fit on the helmets though.

Just stop 2 Spartans:  RB Bates, and WR Scudero.  
Snuff those two guys; that's half their offense.  
We get some picks and this could be a romp.  

Lose... and the season is over.

I could be wrong, but I think either way there're still 8 games left. . . .

Who will show up if we lose to Sparty in PA?  
-- first weekend for new students.  
How are Season Ticket holders doin' ?

I think our Defense does the job.

Hey, do it often enough every week and we're Bowling again.


RE: 2025 Stanford vs San Jose State Predictions Thread - Papa John - 09-26-2025

Stats for the starting QBs:
SJSU--Eget, 714 passing yds, 54.7% completion, 3 TD, 3 INT, 115 passer rating, 35.0 QBR (113th nationally)
Stanford--Gulbranson, 723 passing yds, 57.5% completion, 3 TD, 3 INT, 114.7 passer rating, 25.7 QBR (126th nationally)

Looks like a stoppable force vs. a movable object.

I like those odds.  We won't get chances like this often the rest of the season.

I just hope we take this game seriously.  28-24 good guys.
PS I do have a soft spot for San Jose as I spent the first 3 years of my life in that (then) lovely small town. After being born in Beserkley.

Friday Night Lights... 
Suddenly getting thumped by Cavs looks less bad, as they take down Noles in a thriller, 15 round fight in 2OT

My son the UVa grad student was there and duly stormed the UVa field! I am guessing jacket3ree's son did likewise.


RE: 2025 Stanford vs San Jose State Predictions Thread - marchballer - 09-26-2025

I think this team rebounds tomorrow and rolls to an easy win. I think the loss last year left a bad taste in the players mouths and they are ready to avenge. Plus this team is going to show it is a decent football team now.

Cardinal 33
Spartans 14

Sorry, cheerleaders, but this is a game the Spartans can win handily: superior QB, more than capable receivers and a definite edge in coaching.  And certainly no "visitor" disadvantage. Just hope Stanford emerges with a clean bill of health. Any injuries to key players will go into the Pyrrhic victory category if it's a Cardinal victory ( which it should be).

Just an aside, but they might have a sellout today. Just checked StubHub, very few tickets remaining.

NO -- per ACC protocol by the hosting team, SJST had to take "Red eye Bus" to Palo Alto last night...

Does not look like a sellout.

Making up for it with lots of flags.


RE: 2025 Stanford vs San Jose State Predictions Thread - ADPinWDC - 09-27-2025

Despite the early penalties -- nice march to a shutdown by Field Marshall Gulbranson.  6 for 6 passing.
Very efficient passing against a weak SJST secondary, and easy paydirt for Tabb.   7-0 early.
