Correct me if I'm wrong.  I believe I heard on the broadcast of Big Game (or elsewhere?) that Andrew Luck is our honorary captain this week!  I had been wondering when that would happen this season.

I know pep-talks can't make a team learn how to block and tackle better overnight, but hey, we need some kind of sliver of a ray of hope, right?

If the game sucks, at least fans in attendance are likely to see some sweet #12 highlights on the scoreboard and the return of another all-time great to Stanford Stadium.

Sweet, for sure. My hope is that Luck's appearance will further remind the most influential people of just how far the program has fallen. I like to think that the more influential they are the more they already know. Still, always good to be reminded.
