I think the circumstances are too arbitrary and shaken up to put much stock in the football outcomes of the 6 or so games that may or may not get played this season.
Barring transgressions along immoral or unethical lines, I'll consider this a mulligan.
If we somehow have a great season, I suppose that will have to be taken with a grain of salt too.
I'm simply having a hard time caring about the program anymore. A big part of it is the nature of this season (Covid.) The other issue - which I think is now endemic to the program - is Shaw's apparent lack of competitive fire. I'm referring mainly to his lack of recruiting effort - which tells me that HE doesn't really care about winning. So, why should I? I'm all in on the basketball program and, to a lesser extent baseball. Haase is a guy who oozes with competitiveness. And for anyone who wants to say, "what has he done at Stanford?," I shall pre-empt you by saying that he did not inherit the number 4 ranked team in the nation when he arrived. Far from it!
