Could one of the admins update the FAQ and discuss the woofing gods?  Can we make that required reading? Maybe a pinned post "Rules for fans and boosters regarding woofing."

Rivalry games are well known to not be governed by who should win.
Especially in this time of COVID, all kinds of issues can happen to any players and any team.

Any team with 17 on the roster could have to play a game without their best 9 players being available.  Those last 8 might be decent players, but how much have they played as a team, in the spotlight, without some experienced player to keep them from melting down?   Just imagine 40 minutes of garbage time.... or WORSE, 80 minutes. (Whew.... Whether we played with our 8 shortest or 8 tallest players, there'd be a 6'1" player, but we could be forced to play as an all-guard team.)

How many times have I seen a good Stanford team get ahead, have the refs start calling mercy fouls against Stanford, and then have Stanford collapse or nearly collapse?

These are rivalry games.  Anything can happen.  Why, we could win by 9 in the first game, and then, days later, lose by 12 in the second.  Nightmares happen.

I am NOT a fan of playing the same team twice in the same week.
