they won\'t be needing it much longer.

dabigv,  Stanford\'s fanbase situation is,  in historical analogy,  like that of the Confederacy in the Civil War.   The South had an advantage in military leadership,  but otherwise all the numbers-- population base, industrial base-- all favored the Union in the long run.    No, we don\'t have a built-in advantage like Kal or other big factory schools.  The Gods must hate us for dropping 2 NFL franchises and 2 MLB franchises into one 40 mile square live attendance area.   Stanford must build a following in the non-student base.  Other than being wildly extravagant with freebie tickets and wildly extravagant with a certain coach\'s salary,  I don\'t know what else we can do but try to gain on the problem inch-by-inch.   But the low attendance bugs Harbaugh and the time may run out on us before we get to where we need to be.
