I don't think our reactions that day need to be rationalized nor is an apology necessary.  In fact, I think that subsequent events have demonstrated that the disappointment and condemnation were entirely deserved.  As loving fans we are nearly obliged to react that strongly.  Stanford's football team is, indeed, better than we played that day - by a wide margin.  It appears to be true that Northwestern is better than many of us realized at the time, but that does not mean that our collective reaction was in any way out of line.

Spewing demands to change the coaching structure and never watching football again are simply the exasperated venting of fans who were convinced there was waaaay more potential in this team than they exhibited that day.

I am so glad that it has worked out as it has.  We are very blessed.
