Ok, who is watching the playoff game and who is watching STanford-ASU?

Giants up 2-0 early.

BC

Watched every pitch of the Giants game and not a single play of the ASU-Stanford football game.
For the first time in my life, I'm more emotionally attached to a pro sports team than I am to Stanford football.
I gotta be honest:  Shaw's style has been a big contributor to the detachment.
On the bright side, lopsided games (at least from score and box) don't impose the slightest burn . . . which is a welcome change.

I'm with teejers.  Back in 2018, I did the Thursday night road trip to Tempe (also in part because my daughter was living there at the time).  I didn't plan it this year, as I'm now in rural Virginia for a wedding (and it's beautiful country out here, undeniably).   I watched every pitch of the Giants game also.   I did catch Stanford's first few plays and did see Higgins' TD catch when I switched channels during inning breaks, but that was it.  I learned from the first Giants playoff game I experienced in the stands back in 1987 that it's such an intense atmosphere - everything is so important- that I've honestly never left my seat in all the postseason games I've attended (I got at least one in 2010, 2012, 2014, and 2016). And with this being the Dodgers, the pressure is multiplied.

The other problem is that Stanford offense no longer has an identity.  Intellectual brutality? Not with this OL.  This is why I turned off the TV after Doval went 1-2-3.
