I think the standard for Johnny Dawkins should be in comparison with the other varsity sports at Stanford during his tenure. Stanford is different in that we are not so much a football school or a basketball school, but, rather, a Director's Cup school. We shouldn't accept mediocrity in any varsity sport.
If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
