So I understand that aspect. But its still Stanford football, and I wouldn't miss it.
Yes sir! It could be an inter squad scrimmage and I would be watching. What the hell else are we doing? Watching pac12 replays from 2015? Watching the news on the impending end of the world? Debating politics on social media?
Yea, the pac 12 management is a major cluster truck, but Stanford stock value has risen tremendously with how they’ve handled such an adverse 2020. Even if we loose tonight and come out 3-3. Every day away from home, a walk through in a park that made national news, practicing at local high schools demonstrated that they were true to their mantra of “whatever it takes”. You’re mistaking if you don’t think recruits are paying attention.
Amen! All doubting and in-fighting aside on this board, you really have to hand it to the team for winning three straight on the road without ever coming back to campus. I doubt there are records, but would have to assume that's never been done before in college football....
San Jose State is undefeated this year and in SCC - doesn't that mean they also achieved the same feat (or did they have a Covid cancellation(?. Still, the point stands that the staff and team took the term Road Warriors to new heights. As for watching/rooting for them and the meaningfulness of the games, well, if you believe in the beauty of competition for competition's sake - and support the kids who are working hard and hopefully having fun doing so - then this season is as meaningful as any other . . . and as "meaningless" - if you're trying to put it in terms of "Things That Are Really Important in this World."
