Just reminds you how astounding it is – how Stanford has turned its football program around in the last 10-12 years. With a few exceptions, they had been doormats in this league – and understandably so. They’re unarguably one of the top 3 or 4 academic schools in the nation. But to maintain that status and have a smash-mouth football team that year-after-year challenges for league titles and hangs out among the top 20 is nuts. Just had to take a step back and give them their due. Sure, you’ll see Northwestern in a Rose Bowl (now almost 20 years ago), or Duke play in a big game, but no other TOP school performs in football like they do. Glad to have them (and NOT to have Texas, Texas Tech, Ok, Ok State) in our conference.
You don’t want to enjoy road trips to Austin?
Non-conference- absolutely
Great post Wolf, and very Trojan of you – could very well be a rainy day this year, and it would be nice to pound them by 49 pts. Somehow there is another Wolf SC put-down in this post that can be found with a bit of scratching, but my attitude is “who cares,” at least it’s not about fashion!
