Rose Bowl replays - 82 Card - 01-02-2013

For those who may be up late and do not have a recording handy, ESPN is replaying the game starting at 12:30 AM Pacific (in 10 minutes). ESPNU is replaying it at 5 AM Pacific.

Apparently Comcast TV schedules are not intended to be factual. ESPN doesn't have the replay but ESPNU is up to the 4th quarter in a replay. May be better to just go to ESPN3 replay. The game is up already, as is the parade.

I guess the start times are just not exact. ESPN now has the replay.

The best thing about ESPN is that almost all of their games are all available on their site.

Saw my own DVR replay last night.  Have to say, the game was a lot more exciting for those in the stands.  Also, I actually left the venue wishing Wisconsin wore Purple or Green or any other color that would have made it clear how Stanford fans dominated the stands.  And although I watched the replay and could see the differential, I suspect most casual fans saw a bunch of red and guessed that both schools had similar support.

Interesting. On TV, it appeared the cameras focused on the Wisonsin fans, but from the cheering, it definitely sounded like a sizable Cardinal contingent were in the stands.

The game is available on WatchESPN.com and should be for the foreseeable future.

Judging from where the shades of red changed in the stands, I'd guess the crowd was around 65-35 Stanford to Wisconsin.

Stanford fan sections extended from goal post on the North Side all the way through to past the goal posts on the South Side.  There was a corporate patch in the Southwest corner and a Wisconsin path on the Northwest corner.

The corporate patch was probably more Stanford than Wisconsin, but collectively they were not as passionate about the events on the field.  Stanford types 55-60%, corporate sponsor types 20-25%, Wisconsin types 20%.

The audio during my replay felt more like 40% Stanford, 60 Wisconsin.  Call it 50-50 maybe.

A few too many Stanford types really grew up in the old stadium, and have limited experience in the new stadium.  The older venue taught many in that group (my peers included) that cheering and making noise is a waste of time.  I do think the new stadium is changing that, and I was able to see that culture shift take place in the stands during the game.  Old stadium, coming to the Rose Bowl "event" as spectator types wanted everyone to sit and relax and did little noise making even during critical plays.  New stadium types were more ready to make noise and support the team at every moment.

FWIW - You could identify current season ticket holders in the fourth quarter.  Those that had seen THIS Stanford team saw the 20-14 lead as an almost insurmountable lead especially since Wisconsin would need to drive and finish with a TD in front of the Stanford player parents (wasn't going to happen).  Those that had less experience with Stanford 2012 and more experience with Stanford 1975-2009 were really concerned when the team failed to get that 4th quarter TD. 

In any event, with Coach Shaw, the new stadium and a growing force of students that never knew the pre-2009 Stanford ways, I am now eagerly awaiting for the day that Stanford packs 60% of a bowl game's stands and sounds like 80 or 90% of the audience on TV.

Us old timers from the old stadium are used to having a cooler full of beer under the seat. Can't get too animated without spilling beer on the person in front of you.

I bet we'd sell out every game - Redrum - 01-03-2013

and make significantly more money  if we sold beer at the stadium.  It's a Pac-12 ban and one can understand the wisdom of keeping beer out of the hands of Duck fans,  but man would a cold beer (or two) made the Arizona game more tolerable.

We could even amp up our attendance by selling what we give away for free:  standing room in the cocourse.  Just sell standing room passes.  Might as well monetize the space occupied by a significant portion of the crowd anyway.

You have to remember, garvin walked to school each day...thru the snow...uphill both ways...and would have lived in a shoebox, but couldn't afford it...  ;D

By the way, as one of the "old people" he's talking about, I give him a big up arrow for this.  Except he left out sticking with the team during the Dowhower year, too...

There are plenty of us "old timers" who remember the awesomeness of 90,000 fans in the old stadium AND who still stand and cheer [...and, sadly, get yelled at to "sit down in front".]
