That is the example. First play up the gut for a big gainYellowSnow said:
I thought for sure we were gonna corn hole the Huskers back in 1997 at home. The better team won that day.RaceBannon said:I agree with Fremont. Even when Husky Stadium was the loudest in the land and the 12s didn't exist and we owned Auburn and Kent (Hi Harv) a team could come in and make a few first downs and everyone settles down and gets quiet. If the visitor was better they usually won no matter how geeked up it was and that place could get geeked up even before the second deck.
I've seen great Husky teams go on the road and relish shutting the fans up. I've seen more mentally weak teams that were better go in and wake up a quiet crowd into a lather when they realize the home sqwad could win
Great players seem to make a difference more than noise -
Their shitty fan base is an advantage
LOL ive heard it all -
Stanford sucks now, so yeah, disregard.dnc said:Stanford is very tough to beat at home, boasting one of the best records in CFB in home games versus top 25 opponents* . Some of this is attributable to them having a consistently strong team but their HFA is even above average for good programs.
We also know no one actually comes to Stanford games. So how the fuck is this possible?
Well, here's my theory. Stanford is used to playing at home in front of a sparse crowd and a quiet one at that. The visiting teams are not used to this, especially not top 25 teams. They are used to playing road games in raucous environments in front of loud, drunken intense fans. Since they get none of that at Stanford, it throws the visitors off. It's an uncomfortable environment for good visiting teams because it doesn't feel like a big game.
For Stanford it feels like every other home game they have, except maybe a bit more energetic because the fans they do have are slightly more into it and there are slightly more of them.
So for Stanford it's comfortable and a bit exciting, for the visitors it's uncomfortable and feels very flat.
And Stanford takes care of business.
This is my theory, and why Pete needs to bring out a caged mime in practice during Tree week.
Thanks for reading.

Would like to see the complete sample size of the top25 teams they’ve played at home....
The pac12 doesn’t have many ranked teams usually, so it’s plausible that 50% of the games in the sample are usc and Notre dame, two teams that are always ranked even when they suck (and who Stanford gets at home every other year). Usc and Stanford always play very early as well—while usc is highly ranked (before finishing 7-5). Wonder how the results would shift if you changed the sample group from top 25 AP ranking at time of game to end of season sagarin (or some other formulaic ranking) top 25. -

The Tree has been good at home because of the 1)hulking o-lines, 2) great TE/ tall receivers, 3) good backs, 4) good QB play, 5) stout D, and 6) long tall grass.
This year they have #6 going for them... -
