I take it you putting fans in quotes is meant to be a putdown to people with a different point of view from yours. If not, then why put the word fans in quotes.
You seem to have an aversion to "fans" giving honest objective opinions about the team's performance. If you thought Stanford played great in sets 3 and 4 that's fine. I saw it differently.
You do know that several members of the team were sick, right? Or didn't they mention that on the broadcast... or show how the team was routinely using hand sanitizer all around during timeouts and/or how several players went to the locker room on several occasions?
They looked unbeatable in sets 1 and 2. Eminently beatable in sets 3 and 4. And really gutsy in set 5, when the health factor would have really been kicking in.
The point of the match went to Elia Rubin... when she convinced Hambly to challenge late in set 5 based on an Oregon into the net violation that wasn't initially called, and she was right!
I watched on Pac-12 network.
I didn't catch noticing or hearing announcers mention about players being sick, if they did, I missed it.
Didn't know Rubin the motivation behind that net violation challenge, but yes that was the most crucial turning point of the match I think.
Incredibly gutsy 5th set play for the Card.
