Only 27 comments on the Washington game thread at the end of the first half. Homecoming last week, the stands were only half full. What's happened?

The great thing about Stanford and our athletic department is that we are not simply defined by our football program. So if we are heading toward an 8-4 season, and a midtier bowl, people will be commenting about WVB continuing to roll (toward another Pac-12 title, and in contention for the national championship), Women's Soccer winning yet another Pac-12 title, and in contention for a national championship, and men's soccer set to win yet another Pac-12 title. Even men's water polo might make the NCAA tournament for the first time in several years. We have a lot of positives in our AD to focus on.
