The point of my post is that an AAC team looked more physically capable of competing with UCF than Stanford. My point is I saw a team much more prepared to play UCF than Stanford was. My point is Stanford made Gabriel look like an All American QB and Cincinnati made him look very ordinary. 

The slippage of standards for Stanford football is leading to loss of competitiveness. The defensiveness to a very short post simply pointing out how uncompetitive Stanford was vs. UCF, and how I’d like to see Stanford play defense like an AAC team, says a lot. But if fans think of Stanford Football as incapable of being better than recent trends, then there is no reason to expect more.

Now I’ll be sarcastic. Nothing ensures future championships like lowering the bar on acceptable performance.

My turn to be sarcastic. Fans who have nothing but negative things to say about their teams and are constantly beating the same poor horses dead are precisely the types that make other fans want to get more involved and excited about their program rather than stop posting and reading the boards out of sheer exhaustion at having to listen to all the whinging.
