Stanford fans can't agree.
family runs deep at stanford. I was the odd duck.
I know it is a difficult school to feel sympathic for, but it really does suck to be this consistently poor at football of late and still be constantly derided for poor attendance and being in a conference that was our only lifeboat
4Tavita Pritchard inherits a 4-8 roster and a program that hasn't won a conference title since 2013 — the admissions office identity clashes with a rebuild demanding results, not just tradition.

I am so glad to finally have a competent quarterback after like 8 years

It's going to be a long road but with the leadership of Coach Pritchard and Andrew Luck I believe in this team again!
Tavita Pritchard was the Stanford Quarterback way back in 2007 when the Cardinal pulled off that monumental upset victory over a powerhouse USC team signaling to everyone Stanford football is back and that win springboarded a prolonged and most successful run in Stanford football history! And now Head Coach Tavita Pritchard is back ironically to once again lead the Stanford program to greatness!

We might’ve actually had a chance to win this with Andrew luck in there at qb

Put Elijah in. We sure as hell aren't winning with Gulbranson.

Our secondary has had too many gaps and SJ has just been slicing us up. It's disgusting to watch.

I don’t even know how good the offense/scheme actually is because Ben Gulbranson plays like both his arms are clubs and Reich refuses to pull him

I legit did not think we would meet miami’s punter tonight
Our best defense is UVA making mistakes.
