- Big Game on the Friday after Thanksgiving would be crappy in any other year, but without fans in the stadium I'm ambivalent
- given a new QB, no Autzen crowd, and (presumably) better weather, I agree
- agree here, too. Again, with no home crowds, I think the biggest home-field advantage factor becomes weather
- it could be argued that there is no second half to this season. Cal's schedule isn't easy, btw (crossover is ASU, plane ride to Pullman in mid-Dec)
- Stanford gets a break here. Could you imagine if this game had that crowd in Berkeley this year?
Crowd or no crowd, Stanford's road schedule is daunting (UO, UW, Cal should be good this year). But the fact that those games will be played without fans makes a difference. Enough of a difference for the Card to take advantage? We'll see.
Thank you for listening!
