2025 Post Season: Tavita? Really?

Tue, 02 Dec 2025 15:00:00 -0000

The season is over after a 49-20 loss to Notre Dame (good cover). Stanford finishes 4-8 overall, 3-5 in conference. The best finish since 2020! Also, the Cardinal announced our new head coach, and surprise, it's Tavita Pritchard. The guy you could have guessed probably a year ago. We talk about the season, and the hiring. Let us know if we should bother coming back next season.

2025 Week 14 - Stanford vs ND: The Axe is Back!

Thu, 27 Nov 2025 15:00:00 -0000

The Axe is home! Stanford smoked Cal 31-10 in an unexpected blow to get the big 4th win. We gush about the defense, and then look ahead to the finale against #9 Notre Dame, which might also be a blow out, but in the wrong way...

2025 Week 13 - Stanford vs Cal: Cal is Poo

Fri, 21 Nov 2025 15:00:00 -0000

After two grim losses and a bye week, we're back, and so is Stanford. The Cardinal host Cal for the 128th Big Game this Saturday. Can we finally get a 4th win and get back the axe???

Thu, 30 Oct 2025 14:00:00 -0000

Stanford kept it close for a lot longer than we expected, that's good, right? After the 42-7 blowout, Stanford is back home this week to face the (good?) Pitt Panthers. Can we improve to 4-0 at home???

Thu, 23 Oct 2025 14:00:00 -0000

2025 Week 8 - Stanford vs FSU: Was that progress?

Thu, 16 Oct 2025 20:55:20 -0000

Stanford falls to SMU on the road 34-10, which is technically better than they did last year. And the Cardinal kept it close for 3 quarters, so maybe if we squint it looks like improvement. This week Stanford is back in California for the homecoming game against Florida State, the first ever matchup vs the Seminoles!

2025 Week 7 - Stanford at SMU: Pancakes for All!

Thu, 09 Oct 2025 16:00:00 -0000

Tue, 30 Sep 2025 16:00:00 -0000

Not as good as we hoped, but these days we'll take a win any way we can get it. Stanford comes back to beat SJSU 30-29. We talk about the game, and then preview Stanford's Bye Week. By which we mean we just end the episode. We'll have our SMU preview next week!

Thu, 25 Sep 2025 12:00:00 -0000

2024 Week 4 - Stanford at Syracuse: We Got a Home Win!

Wed, 18 Sep 2024 12:00:00 -0000

First, we had some technical difficulties this week so we apologize for the poor audio quality. If it isn't fixed next week you can relegate us to the new Pac-12.

Other than that, Stanford got its first home win in forever two weeks ago over Cal Poly! Finally! We try to figure out if there was anything interesting in a blowout over and FCS team, then talk about our first ever game against our first ACC opponent, Syracuse!

Thu, 28 Sep 2023 15:00:00 -0000

That sucked less! Stanford loses 21-20 to Arizona in a game full of surprises. Honestly, we'll take it. Things get a lot harder as Stanford hosts #9 Oregon. But hey, Texas Tech hung with them, maybe we'll surprise?

2023 Week 4 - Stanford vs Arizona

Thu, 21 Sep 2023 15:00:00 -0000

Episode Notes

Welp. That also sucked. Stanford loses 30-23 to Sac State in the home opener. Remember folks, it's a rebuild. This week we host Big-12 bound Arizona, who was 1-11 just two years ago! A model to follow?

The 2023 Season is almost upon us! And the Pac-12 Conference is dead! We talk the end of the Pac-12, Stanford's new coaching staff and roster, and look at the schedule. Because we recorded this on Tuesday, Stanford probably has a new conference by the time you hear it.

Wed, 30 Nov 2022 00:18:09 -0000

Emergency Podcast! After the final game of the season, Stanford coach David Shaw announced he was stepping down from the head coaching job. So much for our week off/retirement... We talk about Shaw's legacy, what/who we definitely DON'T want in our next coach, and pull some random names out of a hat that could be coming to Stanford. Since we don't know anything, it's safe to assume no one we mention will be our next coach.

2022 Week 13 - Stanford vs BYU: Write Your Congressperson

Thu, 24 Nov 2022 17:51:58 -0000

Fri, 11 Nov 2022 09:00:32 -0000

Fri, 14 Oct 2022 08:00:26 -0000

Fri, 30 Sep 2022 08:00:22 -0000

Stanford suffered a depressing 40-22 loss at now #15 Washington last weekend. We lament the start to the season, and look ahead to our third straight top-25 opponent, at #13 Oregon.

Fri, 02 Sep 2022 05:19:02 -0000

2021 Season Recap - Mercifully Over

Thu, 09 Dec 2021 21:34:11 -0000

Stanford's miserable season comes to an end with a 45-14 loss to Notre Dame. We briefly discuss the game, and discuss the season overall at length. We also take a quick look at the Pac-12 Bowl games! A quick note, we recorded this before the All conference teams we're announced, so slight correction, Eric was RIGHT in thinking 2 defensive players would make all conference. We don't think it should have happened, but who cares. Tweet at us @Gate13Podcast, or email us at gate13podcast@gmail.com.

Stanford bounces back from their miserable opening week loss to dominate U$C in week 2 at the Coliseum! We discuss the win, and why it felt so great.
