Quote:I will never forget this. My sophomore year against UCLA, I had a heck of a game. I biked back to my dorm, I’m kind of on a high horse. I walk in, and six or seven people asked where I was! I think I had something like 243 yards rushing, four touchdowns. And they didn’t know where I was!
This just in, the majority of Stanford students are nerds who don't care about sports. One of the reasons I love being a pretty hardcore fan.
Although FWIW, I was a student at the time, attended that game, and the student section was PACKED. It was generally quite full throughout my time as an undergrad, at least when school was in session. Though very cool to secure front row seats at the 30 at the K State game because few students were there in early Sept. Less cool the next home game when a USC kid tried to fight me surrounded by other Stanford students.
