Why can't people get over this? 

In any case, I'm inclined to believe the team is pissed. It's one thing for fans to say guys have to do what they think is best for themselves, but if we were on the team, I'm sure we'd feel like we were being ditched.

I'm going to surmise the Stanford football team is going to play with a chip on its shoulder that it otherwise would not have had if CMac played, against UNC on Friday.

But we are not the team, we are fans -- fans to whom Christian owes nothing. What's wrinkled me about this topic is everyone claiming to be so concerned about how the team feels. Seems to me that people feel personally insulted or abandoned and are using the "team" as a proxy. Perhaps I'm a cynic.
