The downside of watching this while working a night shift. No alcohol.

I read you just fine. Nobody would look at his coaching, or his results, and think possible point shaving even if one knew nothing about Shaw. How can one look at the results, his record against the spread, and think hes coaching as if he is shaving points. Someone coaching as though they are shaving points would not go even against the spread, let alone be 20 games up. Running the ball when you are up late in the game (derisively called turtling here) is a pretty standard strategy. It might drive you crazy, but it is not remotely a sign that someone is trying to shave points. If there is anything else Shaw does that suggests he is coaching to do anything other than win the game, irrespective of the point spread, then I honestly dont see it.
The statement was ridiculous. And frustrated as we might be by the way this game is going, there is no justification for saying that Shaw coaches as if he is shaving points.

And sometimes you just play like hot garbage and lose.
Yeah, I just stare at my desk, but it looks like I'm working .I'd say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work. Peter Gibbons

I thought he may have been pushed from behind into the kicker. They didn't show a good replay.

That was stupid. Why are even trying to block a kick from their 15 yard-line. :'(

I don't even want Stanford to get a 3rd down stop if Costello isn't coming in.

IF Costello doesn't come on the next drive, Shaw is just messing with us all.

...How is that roughing? This has been some brutal reffing.
Also some brutal decisions by our guys. At some point you have to wonder about the defensive coaching.

That missed tackle was the result of the targeting rule. The runner lowered his head and the defender had to put his head in the dirt to avoid the targeting call.
Put a glide in your stride and a dip in your hip.

Stupid penalties, delays of game, missed tackles. Ugh. Players or coaches?
Free Phogge!!!! And no, crimson doesn't refer to the Tide.

Shame the Bay Area sports media doesn't have it in them, because Shaw's feet need to be held to the fire after this one.

Guessing we thought our best chance to score was a blocked punt?

OSU playing like they want to win this game. Most of our guys don't seem to be. Players and coaches I think.

The bizarre thing is Stanford still controls its own destiny. Although suddenly getting to 6-6 looks like a chore.
