But was anyone surprised by UDFG, lowest of the low at 4%?

Ha, the domer bandwagon trundles along, carrying several NBC execs on top...
15% ratio? Maybe this whole "success brings TV exposure" thing is working after all. 15% is pretty ridiculous.

Televised games used to be so notable that Stanford's football media guide would list every Stanford game that ever had been televised. I checked an old media guide, and Garvin's memory is pretty close. Stanford was on national TV against Penn State in the fall of 1974, then not again until 1981 against Purdue.

Yeah, I'm a bit surprised, but I'm also encouraged by Stanford's result. We're a small school, so we need as many non-alum fans as we can get. It's nice to see that we have so many fans who aren't alumni.

It's the percentage of alumni fans on Facebook; maybe the percentage of fans who identify as an alumnus of a particular school and also "like" the school. I'm not really on Facebook, but help my wife stalk her grown children. Son "likes" Stanford; daughter "likes" Cal. Neither are alumni. They also "like" obscure stuff I know nothing about.
I'm not sure I would read too much into this other than who is on Facebook and self-identifying as a fan and an alumnus.

Yeah, I just stare at my desk, but it looks like I'm working .I'd say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work. Peter Gibbons

No, it's the percentage of fans of a team (those who "like" the team) who also identify as alumni. So, if fans of a team haven't also identified themselves as alumni of the school, the percentage will be smaller.

Its important to remember just how little a like means for many Facebook users. Someone who is generally uninterested in college football might watch the rose bowl, see something posted by stanford, and click like, or an Alabama fan might like stanford after they beat Oregon and put the Tide into the championship. That person is then a "fan" of Stanford. The article suggests (rightly) that this says more about a department's social media presence than anything else.

There's a decent number that found us from EA NCAA Football. My cousin explained that Stanford is cool to play because it has the largest number of plays. IIRC that's how Rando joined us. Whatever happened to him? I think the last we heard from him he was headed to that first Hogan Oregon game. Did the crazy Duck fans abduct him and take him into the woods?

According to old Stanford media guides, Stanford vs. Ohio State in 1982 was a nationally televised game. The media guides show that Stanford had three nationally televised games that year -- against Ohio State, U'S'C, and Washington. Stanford was attractive to the TV networks that year because we had a leading Voldemort candidate. Elway delivered upsets in two of those three games, justifying the decision to put them on national TV.
I just watched about 10 minutes of the Stanford vs. Ohio State video, starting at about 1:20. That was awesome!

I think there was a lot of interest in Stanford football that year, last year of Elway as QB. Did Stanford set a home/away football attendance record that year for Stanford football? Home and away, Stanford averaged 61,486 that year.

I assumed that it was national, given Keith Jackson's presence.
