One of the things I wonder about that hasn't been mentioned and is critical is upper class leadership. That's one of the biggest things we lost with Shane. The first time I saw the video of him leading the C-House cheer, I thought, "Wow, that's a real alpha male." Do we have senior leadership, or is it just a bunch of guys?

Yvonne, good point.  The same thing crossed my mind last night as I tried to sort out what happened with our team's meltdown yesterday.  Captains are Hogan, Richards, Tarpley, Ward...who's the guy getting everyone's blood up before (and during) the game?  Who is the face of Stanford football?  I keep wishing for a Skov clone to emerge with the eyeblack and Mohawk.  We seriously need a charisma injection.
After all, football is entertainment.  Let's get those angry nerds back with the glasses!
