ALWAYS RIGHT, BUT IM NEVER WRONG! How's that for irony?  The biggest problem most people have with my posts, is the content, not the tone.  The tone is pure schtick, and for the most part, I don't hammer it here.  At  T-Dome, I've even hosted lunches, and invited my board adversaries to my tailgate, and turned them into friends or at least respected board critics.  Shinsengumi's obviously avoided those entreaties. I'll be happy to go through Shinsengumi's critique, point by point, but it's obvious the subtleties of context were lost on him at the times, if not an outright misunderstanding of what I was trying to incite, ignite, contest, or explain. You've got a nice board here, pretty civil, some good insights, some overly simplistic or just naive, just like any other. But you're pro Stanford football, and that's what counts. Thanks for the kind words, as Dr Evil said, "the details of my life are quite inconsequential".  I challenge orthodoxies I find absurd in the context of being a fan, promoter, and critic of Stanford football.  I like David Shaw, respect him personally and professionally, but I'm as hard on him as I was on Harbs, BOWLSBY, Leland, etchemendi, Hennessy, players,assistant coaches, crosswalk attendants, you name it.  Supporting something doesn't mean you've got to go along with every nuance, policy, personnel decision or scheme.  I've got the mental toughness to take beating, verbal or otherwise, and get off the floor and keep coming.  And a little secret, nobody who's in the business of coaching pays any attention to our blather anyway...they don't have the time, and aren't going to learn anything from us anyway.  It will be interesting to see if Shaw quits parsing himself and fully invests the offense in Hogan.  I don't see any other choice, he MOVED the team.  Yes, it wasn't a great test in terms of opposition, but Nunes was, well, Nunes against them.  Hogan's throwing mechanics must improve, but at least he's decisive and makes things happen, he's a playmaker, not a game manager, and that's what we need now, the rest will come with time. Both Shaw and Harbs, three of the last 4 years, have asked me to come work with long snappers at their summer specialists camps at Stanford.  I donate the time, and refuse the stipend.  If you really think my opinions or bombast are so negative or harmful, don't you think they'd have cut that relationship?  Really, none of this stuff is worth wadding your panties over.  If I've offended some of you, I'm sorry, I apologize, and tough sh*t, you can't play the game without getting your uniform dirty, IT'LL PROBABLY HAPPEN AGAIN.  I'll keep it real, and try to refrain from the all caps, ad hominems, invective, and locker room references.  Now, Shihtzu or whatever your name is, what would you like to discuss first? (Note ironic juxtapositioning next to "apology").
