I want to see a U$€ death-spiral.  I don't care about things like strength of schedule derived from our opponents.  I want to see chaos on their sidelines, chaos on the field, chaos back on their campus.  I want to see Haden on TV doing the perp walk.  I want to see star players transfer with quotes about "back stabbing" and head coaches without principles.  I want to see Sarkisian trying to rebuild his reputation by taking a junior college asst. coach position.  I want columns of smoke rising from their athletic dept.

"Towards thee I roll, thou all-destroying but unconquering whale; to the last I grapple with thee; from hell’s heart I stab at thee; for hate’s sake I spit my last breath at thee."

Other than that, I'm good.

As it probably has been made clear, I'm on board with these objectives.  But honestly, nothing would make me happier than seeing "them" get one hand on the holy grail, only to see Stanford grab it, and set in motion a series of events that leads to the eternal damnation Redrum longs to see befall the land of Troy.

Why on earth would anyone name a mascot after Troy?  The clever enemy sneaks inside and pillages the city--not stopping until son Polites is killed in front of his father Priam, who himself is slit open on the alter to Zeus.  I can certainly think of some welcome parallels....SC, Sark, Hayden...
