Not being able to fill a 50K capacity stadium bugs me and depresses me sometimes.  I wish we had the kind of demand that already made expanding the stadium a realistic topic of conversation.  And I agree that some kids value playing in front of 100,000 fans over all else. So it goes.  We're not the school for them.  We're not the football program for them.   

I think if we win and we have Voldemort candidates, it levels the field, but I think ultimately this is correct and just the way it goes..  The game day experience with that many fans is intoxicating.  Kids base their decisions on colleges based on some pretty non-scientific criteria.

I picked Stanford because of the weather.  I hadn't even been to a game.
