Nov 30 | Stanford

[Dizzyphil]

ND -14.5

Initial spread from Vegas is ND -14.5

As Rakes pointed out to Sampson, FEI and SP+ likely larger than that.

Take it now.... by Friday I will lay all my v-bucks it will be minimum 19/20.

With a loss to Notre Dame, Stanford is 4-8. The last time the Trees had that record was 2007, which was Harbaugh's first year there and the second year of the twelve game regular season schedule. Their conference record is 3-6. Three other Pac 12 North teams - Wash, Wash St and Cal - are 3-5. In head-to-head against those three teams, Stanford only beat Washington.

Lets hope the boys bring their axes, we need to rebuild all those boats we burned back in 2015. #ChopTheTree

To me, it's Rivalry Game 2. It's a way for us to end the season strong.

Sorry, Tree. We've only got one rival, and if we were going to expand that list, Stanford wouldn't be near the top.

The Insane Process Of Becoming Stanford's Tree

From article on March 3, 2015, Sarah Young, Class of '17, (center, below) was chosen as The Tree mascot for '15-'16.

Sarah is half black and half Chinese, Young is the first woman of color to be the Tree in Stanford’s history.
“I’m really proud of Stanford as a whole moving in that direction. Stanford is such a diverse place, and it would be cool if [that diversity] was reflected in every aspect.”


From article on the history of the building of the Transcontinental RR:

Leland Stanford, president of Central Pacific, former California governor and founder of Stanford University, told Congress in 1865, that the majority of the railroad labor force were Chinese. Without them,” he said, “it would be impossible to complete the western portion of this great national enterprise, within the time required by the Acts of Congress.”

More Chinese immigrants began arriving in California, and two years later, about 90 percent of the workers were Chinese.

This game worries me same as Michigan did. Except then I realise Stanford is in fact as bad as we thought Michigan was but turned out not to be.

Isn't 2007 - when we went 3-9! - the last time we won at Stanford?

...or some Krofft Brothers $hit. Those trees could walked off one of their shows.

Why worry? BK's undefeated in Palo Alto...

Supposed to rain on Saturday...field is going to be an absolute quagmire if the forecast holds.

... and we're not mudders.

The Stanford field at the end of the season is terrible in the best of conditions. Can’t imagine what it’s going to be like after it rains a couple days during the week and during the game.

Now that I think about it Shaw would be smart to have em run the irrigation all week...

The Weather Channel Is calling for rain out there 3-4 days out of the next 10 days (it's their rainy season and very unpredictable), not one day other than Saturday Is being called for a measurable amount.
To put things into perspective there was over a half-inch of rain that fell during our game with Michigan.
Rainfall of a quarter inch in Palo Alto Is like saying it'll drizzle all day and they'll be doing a rain dance.
If you haven't been out west and witnessed the way they use rain gauges than you'll never appreciate the rain the midwest gets.
Their local news stations literally stand in puddles and say it's really coming down. They do flood easy and mudslides can happen over a 10th of an inch.
As Einstein once said....

An Awful lot of questions being thrown around without any real substance.
Awful is the word describing the unsubstantiated question's.

Isn't 2007 - when we went 3-9! - the last time we won at Stanford?

Yes, and Stanford was 4-8 in '07. The other teams ND beat also had losing records, UCLA was 6-7 and Duke was 1-11. ALL teams that ND lost to had winning records.

We see what you're doing. We're not biting.

It's probably crossed his mind.
