Exactly, garvin. GameDay crew likes to think they are Kings of their Domain, and a crazed, adoring, crowd surrounding them at all times on set is part of their "fix."
They have a tough enough time getting that at Stanford anyway, but without the students there, the energy will be relatively low. Too low for GameDay, I suspect.
And on this point, I have to say that I was surprised and impressed how well the Cardinal showed for GameDay for the 2011 home game against Oregon (which Cardinal lost). I thought there would be noone to keep the crew company at 7:00 a.m. PT (for a late KO). But evidently, the turnout at the Oval was fabulous (and the signage equally impressive). So props to all who rallied for that.
