After getting shellacked by SC and possibly losing to Vandy how do you calculate the frowns at Chuck Taylor Grove? By blood alcohol level?
Speaking of Chuck Taylor Grove, it should be noted that one team came into this game on a five game losing streak and one on a four game winning streak. The one on the losing streak had tens of thousands of enthusiastic fans, a large number of whom had presumably traveled several hundred miles to get there. The one on the winning streak had (maybe) a couple thousand fans.
If you’re drawing up a list of things about the program that stink, you have to add “fan base” to that list.
Hey, I'm pretty sure I'm in a group of fans you can count on two hands (max) that attended all 4 Sun Bowls.
But whose fault is it that the "base" is dwindling to nothingness? I'd say (a) the coach who instills ZERO excitement/pizzaz/interest into anything related to Stanford football [oh, that's right, that's not his job], and (b) the Athletic Director who fiddles while the embers have been smoldering for years and years.
On the bright side: the university will not have any game day concerns when it comes to "social distancing" in the stadium or in the tailgating areas. If Stanford doesn't improve dramatically in next two games, then it could get really embarrassing when it comes to televised games at Stanford.
