I suspect Garcia spent some amount of his career driving Stanford fans nuts.

Yup.

To be fair, Garcia was sent out to kick a lot of improbably long field goals, especially near the end of the first half. In those days, a missed field goal gave the opponent the ball at his own 20, so in a lot of circumstances, it was a like a punt that had some small possibility of yielding some points.

Thanks, ferrari, for giving me another opportunity to review garvin's post.  I had missed much of the nuance.  ;D

Well, I had written a terribly insightful couple of paragraphs on this subject but somehow they never made it onto the post.  Trust me, it was brilliant and you would have enjoyed it.
