These games really Su@k, unless your rooting for the winning team. No competition in any of them except maybe the ND game a little bit. A waste of time, I guess it’s Netflix for me!

Iowa also has a better theme song. The ragtime-flavored "Roll Along, Iowa" easily trumps Stanford's "All Right, Now," a rock tune from the 1970's. Stanford used to use "The New Colonial March" as its theme song, but they dropped it years ago.

Well

They gave the heisman to the wrong guy. No question about it.
Stanford would at least make a decent game against Bama or Clemson. That’s why the pac-12 was left out of the picture.

Yes I was.. And I miss the Indian blessing they’d have at the beginning of each game....
But Fear The Tree is pretty cool too......
Another neat thing about this game? A Pac 12 team is dominating in Our Rose Bowl! Just sayin’

I went to the Sun Bowl in 1998 to root for the USC Trojans. Although we didn’t win, I enjoyed eating steaks in El Paso and green chile in nearby Mesilla, NM.

The Heisman vote should be re-done.

Why is the Heisman Trophy vote held before the end of the season?

Not what I’ve seen after games...
But now that you mention it, in my day, it was always easy to troll the dorms to get game tickets...you may be right but it still doesn’t mean they suck....

I challenge you in your opinion...
Nothing beats “All Right Now”....
Except maybe “Amazing Grace”.....

It really wouldn’t matter. All the Espn bed-wetters never watch pac-12 ball anyways.....that’s why they picked Henry over McCaffrey

I wouldn’t know and it’s an interesting insinuation you make....
McCaffrey is a “true” sophomore so has a few more years...we’ll see.

In the years I was at Stanford, I didn’t know anyone that cared about the band (other than those in the band), and there were more than a few that found it embarrassing because the schtick was very shopworn AND poorly executed. Perhaps the act was “fresh” in the 60’s, but by the 80s/90s the act had long since gone senile.

It’s hard to get the students interested in football at Stanford much less the band ;)

I like their band

To each his own

Some don’t care for Southern University or Gramblings gyrating and prancing

Whatever the school wants

They can’t all be Army
