Let’s at least wait until they play a game. I realize Lincoln Riley is the greatest thing since sliced bread. But bread can get moldy….
Do you think Stanford will beat USC next season?
I realize we will know more when the respective teams actually start to play games, but what would you say are the chances of a Stanford W are, based on just what you know now?
I'd slot that at around 10-15%.
Stanford has "freefall" vibe; SC has "rising" vibe.
Not good.
USC will win 109-0. There, happy?
I get that it must be tough for longtime Shaw defenders to engage in discussion when the house is falling down and it's obvious who is to blame.
To answer your question, no I'm not happy with Stanford football. But even I don't think the score will be 109-0.
Teejers, we get it. Shaw sucks. Always has. The program is in the toilet. You’ve said that approximately 1,000 times now.
He is the most successful Stanford coach of your lifetime, but that was based on good fortune. And it is actually all attributable to Harbaugh. Even when they won, he sucked. If he had been a good coach, Stanford would have won multiple NCs. Cause of course, that is where Stanford has been historically.
My “defense” of Shaw is predicated on what I perceive (and perceived) to be the lack of respect for what he achieved. Hell, I remember people screaming he should be fired in early ‘14. And my belief, which continues to this day, that he had the right formula (which actually started with JH) with his power and complimentary football blue print. I wish he’d get back to recruiting to it.
Things look bleak today. I grant you that. And if they have another year like ‘21 in ‘22, he should be on the hot seat.
And FTR as they say, I said many times during the good times that it wouldn’t last. Because there was nothing in the 50 years prior that gave reason to believe that Stanford would be a perennial football power.
Personally, I hope they begin turning it around next year. But not sure that’s gonna happen. So, maybe soon you will get your wish.
