intuitive forebodings about football games have no predictive value, any more than intuitive confidence--although given that Stanford fans  always assemble considerable data, and have the memory of other facts at their mind's disposal, have can a fan ever say they are relying on intuition in their projection for a future game?

That's not intuition; it's anxiety.

There was an excellent chance Oregon would win that game--at least 45%.  You sensed they would; they did.  You had no worse than a 45% of being "right" about your "intuition"--which wasn't, in reality, an intuition.  And Stanford came within an extra point and a win in overtime of "proving" your "intuition" wrong.  That doesn't sound like a highly predictive tool you are relying on.
:D :P
