The boos have got to go.  Nunes is 5-0 at home.  Coach Shaw is 17-4 in his career.  The jokers that are so inclined to boo have lost all perspective at this point.  These kids are winning and studying at Stanford.  The game is not entertaining enough?  Stay home and watch ole mighty SC.  They are plenty entertaining, but with all of their talent they have 2 conferences losses.  Or perhaps Oklahoma and its flashy 2 losses at home.

Is Nunes the best QB in the USA?  Clearly no.  Does any QB in the USA have a better winning percentage in front of his fans at home?  Definitely no.  Nunes is not Barks or Luck let's deal with it with a touch more class.

The team was playing a classic trap game.  Only a fool (ie. Wilner) would actually have thought they would cover a 21 point spread.  The team won and few people got hurt.  Stanford still controls its destiny for the Rose Bowl, and is likely now the most likely to get a BCS at-large from the Pac-12 should they fall to Oregon.  Comparatively speaking Stanford did just fine.

Booo?  I guess those types were warming up for Halloween, but by all historic standards this TEAM is doing just fine.  FWIW - Better than the 1992 team that was honored throughout the game.

The team is likely to have three losses by year-end.  A loss to BCS CG worthy Oregon, a loss to BCS CG worthy Northern Indiana Parochial College and a road loss for Nunes first trip away from home.  the same team that beat OSU by the way.  That's boo worthy?  Wow!!!

I haven't booed, but you can be sure it will continue if our offensive woes continue. The fan base has high expectations, many of which are justified. This team has many ingredients for success, and many fans feel a better QB would get this team to the next level. Maybe Nottingham's worse, but he sure didn't look like it to most fans and writers covering Stanford football in the offseason. The whole team is meritocratic, where every position needs to be earned and proven week to week, with the exception of the QB. You have to understand some of the angst.

Your rhetorical question, is Nunes the best QB in the USA, understates how poorly Nunes has played. The better question might be, is he the worst starting QB in the nation. I have nothing agst. the young man and root for him each week. It's not his fault he's in over his head and keeps drowning out there. The fault is squarely with his coach(es), who are responsible for pulling a drowning player out of the water, to extend the metaphor.

And, no, yesterday's game was not a trap. Stanford was not overlooking WSU in looking ahead to lowly Colorado.

I would love Stanford to end the regular season at 9-3. The Rose Bowl might come calling in that case. If OSU and UCLA stack the box as UW and WSU did, cheating up safeties and daring our QB to find the open man (and not lock on the double-covered receiver as he's wont to do), and if our offensive brain trust keeps running up the gut, then I have a hard time imagining 9-3. We'll see.
