So while I think while your overall premise is sound, it ignores perhaps the biggest difference - student body attitudes. And my guess is there is a rather large indifference to Stanford sports, in general, amongst the student body and football in particular.

I think you might be correct, and wonder why. Saturdays at the old stadium were not to be missed events. Wake up, tailgate, go to the game, tailgate, shower, go to campus party somewhere. Great times. I think similar traditions still exist in the Big 10 and the SEC, but no longer out here. Why the demise?
