You cannot compare Stanford to southern or midwestern teams. Talk about apples and oranges.

I'll give CI the inartful phrasing on my part - what I meant to convey is that on most of the TV games on Saturday that I tuned into (and some think TV is the #1 culprit why Stanford attendance is so low), the much larger stadia had a greater percentage of butts in seats than does Stanford on most Saturdays.

And sure, some program attendance is down.  But how many teams who have Stanford's winning percentage over the last several years have attendance that is so soft/low?  Not (m)any.

And to BC, I already asked the rhetorical question:  could you imagine this offense without Love?  He is a generational talent.  And one point that doesn't get much run here because we're all too polite in these parts:  there were rumblings that a big factor in our RB's decision NOT to play in the Sun Bowl had to do with the family's displeasure with how the RB was used (or overused, between the tackles).  If true, does that deserve any consideration when it comes to selecting an offensive scheme/approach?

And I still have yet to hear from anyone why Stanford shouldn't model its O circa Rose Bowl/Seattle Bowl seasons.  I guess it's because all of us just enjoy the between-the-tackle O so much.  [Hey, I admit to liking it more this year because of Love - but I also have a sneaking suspicion that he might do some damage if he were given the ball in space, too].
