what else can explain a willingham-esque performance from a team that had ran train on the conference 3 years in a row? seriously what the fuck happened that game? try and rewatch it, you'll swear they are point shaving
stanford was playing walk-ons and chemistry grad students at OL and worked us...
what was really going on? pete probably never had a team actually rebel or quit against him before
I was at the game. Sideline looked completely dead as if they were forced to be there. Worst game day experience since Owen for me
Stanford easily has the worst game day experience / atmosphere of any major division one or professional sporting event I have ever been to. They make Cal look like a big time program. Christ the Bellevue De La Salle high school game I went to was more electric and had more fans than any game at Stanford Stadium I have ever been at.
The Old Pro is a good pregame sports bar but that’s about it.
We drove down for the 91 season opener on the Farm. Those were the days that Husky fans owned your stadium if you didn't show up. We made that a home game for the DAWGS. Stayed at a great motor inn with two pools and filled with hard drinking DAWG fans.
It was a great road trip. Denny Green crowned our ass after it because they let us get away 42-7. Stanford had Bob Whitfield a NFL lineman who said the Card would ruin the Husky season.

I've spent more time at Stanford than Cal but thought they were equal. Almost got into a fight with a Stanford fan leaving Old Pro after the 2011 game.
Pete always dropped games to scrubs for no reason, outside of 2016. 2019 just had multiple
During the 2016- 18 run, Pete, only lost one game to "scrubs" - i.e., Cal in 2018. 2017 Stanford and ASU were both talented teams (at least according to the TBS feegs). 2019 was the year he lost the team and started dropping lots of games to scrubs.
2017 Stanford and ASU both sucked and TBS is fucking meaningless

Disagree, Anton.
Stanford went 7-2 in the conference that year and finished the year #20 in the AP.
Arizona State went 6-3 and finished 2nd in the South.
They weren't great teams, but they certainly didn't "suck". Better UW teams than 2017 have lost to far worse opponents.
Washington has quit in every game the have dropped in the Bay Area over the past few years, I would know I was dumb enough to sit through all of them in person. Never again.

Pete quit on the players, he was burnt out. He saw the writing on the wall and did the right thing and handed the keys over. He laid a solid foundation for the program.

Stanford was OKAY...6-3 teams in the pac 12 suck
Depends on the schedule. Lotta 2 loss teams won the old Pac.

Yeah 2017 Stanford was decent. Lots of talent (11 players drafted next two years) but somewhat underachieving. Interestingly they played 7 games decided by 3 or less points (going 3-4.) Some terrible losses but also two very good wins (us and Notre Dame the last week of the season to keep Notre Dame out of a NY6 bowl.)
ASU on the other hand was just terrible. 6-3 in conference sure but they also lost to SDSU, Texas Tech, and NC State. Their D was 100th in the country giving up 6.1 yards per play. They gave up at least 31 points in all but two games.
UW was 17.5 point favorites in that game and somehow managed to get shutout until finally scoring a TD with 5:32 to play.
I just remember screaming at the television to load the fucking box against the makeshift offensive line and 8th string quarterback. I guess they couldn't hear me.
Yup. Who was the defensive coordinator back then...?
I've drank enough tequila and gin to block most of that game from my memory but I seem to recall 'Furd was just throwing to their 6'10" receivers all game and our defense couldn't stop them.

See you there next year!
I’m on a 5 game losing streak going to games against the Bay schools if you include basketball - I’m clearly bad luck so I might have to take one for the team and watch on the tube
When I want to find out how the game really went I fall back on the Game Day Threads for reality checks, of course, reading them I can not tell if we won or lost.

Pretty much. We also got some peak Browning running backwards

Yea Browning was horrible that game. I spent the walk out of the stadium drunkenly screaming about how much I hated him while aghast doogs and the two Stanford fans at the game stared at me. Fun memory. My girlfriend at the time wanted to shoot me.

Drunk Stanford game day shit poasts are the best
I only read the game threads a day or two after the game. It's fun trying to guess what moment of the game is happening based on the comments, rants and calls for genocide.

The bear’s lair at cal was pretty cool, so of course they fucking closed it

stanford has fans?
The 2011 game had us? ranked like 21 and Stanford top 10 and it still wasn't a sold out game.
