NO Foster Farms Bowl. #NOFoFarms, Please! --- Bowl Committees need to understand Geography about Stanford. SoCal > NorCal. FoFarms IS NOT a local game for Stanford.
1) Firstly, after Dec. 15 the Stanford dorms are LOCKED; they don’t reopen til Jan. Students scatter to the USA !
Unlike MOST schools, Stanford students are from ALL OVER — 20% are from overseas, and prefer Soccer. No students are there !!! Call the Univ; ask them if the dorms are open. The campus is dead.
2) Next: SoCal wields a bigger base of Stanford Alums than NorCal. Bay Area has a lot; SoCal has more. Therefore: Holiday > FoFarms. AND, SoCal as a recruiting field is 2x-3x the size of NorCal. Get the tickets to recruits that can drive to Qualcomm in Diego. UCLA ain't going to a bowl. USC likely gets the Rose... but we've been there (...!)
3) FoFarms = a COLD weather bowl. Pack yer parka. Let Utah or WAST play in FoFarms -- THEY HAVE PARKAS. Stanford fans want warm weather.
4) Cardinal have NEVER been to the Holiday bowl. Going back to LEVI… What is exciting about that?!
5) Yes, the Hawkeyes want a rematch [In Holiday Bowl]. Farmers are noble people. There was no rioting after the Rose bowl. Tailgating would be GREAT with IOWA -- they know how to tailgate !
