Thanks Hank, great write-up, as usual.  As for the rivalry, I think it's a bit asymmetric.  I think we dislike the University of Dead Fake Girlfriends more than they dislike us (though I at least don't resent the University of Dead Fake Girlfriends fans for not hating on Stanford the way Low APR U fans seem to resent us for not caring enough about them).  I think there's a fair amount of respect between the teams themselves, which is good.  As someone else noted, the two teams were pretty sporting during the game.

I have certainly enjoyed the back and forth the last few years.  It definitely feels better to be on the winning side, though.

How many of these players were also recruited by the opposite coach? We seem to have a ton of overlap with ND, more so than many other Pac-12 schools even, so that could help. Not that our guys tend to get chippy in conference anyway.

Also, that's 5 in a row that the home team has won? Pretty crazy series, hope we can steal one next year.
