GameDay turn-out

Duck fan here and I’ve got a hunch that our fans will outnumber your fans.

The perception is that half of your fan base is too busy curing cancer and the other half is keeping the 99% down

Sure, most Saturdays during other (even last!) seasons never saw a sold out Stanford Stadium. But even then, I can’t remember a visiting team’s fanbase outnumbering Stanford’s. Not even Big Game, when fans only had to travel across the Bay Bridge. Also, I can’t tell you how many alums I have heard are flying out from across the country for the game—including myself. I know the Oregon fanbase is large and faithful, but I don’t anticipate them outnumbering Stanford fans on Saturday. And I don’t think it will even be close.

GameDay vs. Game

I could be wrong, but I think Coach Brooks is suggesting that Duck fans might outnumber Cardinal fans at 6 a.m. With Jeremiah Masoli and his enormous Bay Area fan base now gone, I don’t think there’s any question that there will be more red than green in Stanford Stadium come 5 p.m.

But yes,

I expect the Stanford turnout to be strong. It wasn’t too long ago that students camped out at Maples Pavilion.

Guess I was being a little whacky saying Ducks would outnumber Trees

That’s probably not going to happen - that being said; I think our fans will have a nice showing.

Sportswise,

this will be the biggest day of my life!

I'd be curious to see Stanford fans fill in this blank:

The thing that Andrew Luck does that worries me, is when I see him___________
(I’m not being a dick, I’m really curious)

I don’t think ‘worry’ is the right word. He’s definitely made some bad passes and dumb decisions, which are bummers when they happen, but I’m never really ‘worried’ when he has the ball.

long live the jd.

…try to force the ball on 3rd down.

I’d say most of his INTs are 3rd down plays where he should have thrown the ball away, but he thinks he can squeeze the ball in when he can’t. I’ve seen him do this at least once a game, it seems. When commentators gush over Luck and say he rarely makes mistakes, it shows how little they actually watch of our games. He’s human.
