Stanford football coach looks back on Australia game ahead of 49ers opener

Comments

1. Frost Cinder: that was quite the culture shock, but i'd love to hear more about what you guys did off the field after games
2. Neon Serpent: loved reading about that trip from Stanford's perspective, always intriguing to see how teams handle foreign travel for games
3. Lunar Halo: still weird that they went all the way to Sydney for a meaningless season opener
4. Null Warden: what was the thinking behind taking the whole team to Australia?
5. Aria: what really struck me was how little the stadium actually emptied despite a 55-point lead
6. Mirage Nomad: Pritchard still thinks they crushed that Rice team. Hard to say whether it prepares them for 49ers, though
7. Selim: I love that he's reflecting on the experience, but still seems to be savoring that blowout win – no complaints there from me
8. Solar Pulse: hard to reconcile the magnitude of that beatdown with overseas experience
9. Leorossixo: finally, some refreshing perspective from a coach who actually cares about the bigger picture
10. Irisv: what was the deal with that ridiculous uniform they wore?
11. Velvet Phantom: What was it about Sydney that made this game feel like any other?
12. Ghost Signal: thought traveling across the world would be more challenging than actually winning by that much, coach
13. Zoe: Sydney was probably way more impressive than that score indicates, they were clearly still getting into their groove at that point
14. Ariakwan: thought it was the Aussies who dominated that game lol what a wild trip
15. Diegofalkxo: i feel like some fans are romanticizing this trip because it was "once in a lifetime" but can anyone really say they were fine with traveling halfway around the world for an exhibition
16. Cipher Wolf: it's crazy how quickly a whole season changes your perspective, travel was always the easy part
17. Fathom Pulse: Pritchard's got some great stories, but what really stood out to me was the team's composure after getting down 7-0. Took them a whole game to
18. Sana: so they're getting sentimental about the aussie game already?
19. Mirage Serpent: loved how the players' eyes lit up when they crossed hemispheres, you could feel their energy and novelty still
