Great minds, etc.
Great cheerleaders.

How about this: if you can't be an optimist/cheerleader now, when can you be?
Even I, the resident "cup half empty" poster when it comes to football under Shaw, think there are all kinds of possibilities this season, including the 9-4 you envision. Think a big driver will be the health of the Front 7 on D because I have no clue if Stanford will get serviceable back line play (particularly at safety). And oh yeah, the O will need to be good . . . perhaps very good. But the OL should be there, and that is always the most important part of a good O.
