I went to a football game at Stanford once upon a time back in 2016. It was CMC's last season. Vs Oregon State. He had 199 yards rushing in maybe the quietest big-time performance I've seen. I didn't notice the fans being as.holes. If anything it was a bunch of hippies. Their band was a lot of fun to pay attention to.
Sidenote: While me and my buddy were tailgating, this large group next to us really took it to the next level. They had one of the larger tailgating bar setups I've seen (at least for a non-sponsored tailgate). Then they had these guys come out to cook whole pigs on a spit. The problem was they used some of the school's steel barricades for their spit, and just set their fire on the ground. It was good watching the police/fire dept come out and explain to these people that they couldn't do that. Waste of good pigs though.

He went on to destroy one of the better Iowa teams this century in the Rose Bowl that year. I think he still may be running. Made Iowa look like they were wearing ice skates.
The Stanford band did a performance making fun of Iowa farmers. Of course being down 35-0 probably didn't help and Iowa fans were f'ing pissed and booed them. Rose Bowl issued a statement that it was not pleased at what happened from the band.
