And so our NC streak dies barring an improbable run in Baseball or Men's Golf.
Reading through the commentary here and thinking through several other 1 NC years where the single NC had similar drama (but fell our way) I realized how fragile is such a streak.Â
I love Stanford's commitment to its full NCAA suite of varsity sports as do most on this board. If the streak dies will a new one start next year? You could read this season either way - top 10 showings in many sports but weakness in some of the same sports that drove our streak (Women's tennis, Women's swimming, etc).Â
So .... Is the Water Polo 5 OT loss the gasping canary in the Stanford "Sears Sports" coal mine?Â

In 1938 Neville Chamberlain declared "Peace in our time", Superman first appeared in Action Comics, Seabiscuit beat War Admiral ....... and C.a.l last won the Rose Bowl.
