Has morale ever been this high at a football program that just went 8-5?
Two coaches turned down monster financial offers so they could stay at Stanford.
Three fifth-year seniors who likely would have been selected at some point in the NFL draft decided to return for one more year.
Twenty-some recruits are on campus, the weather is cooperating, and there is a decent chance that Stanford will sweep them all.

As a matter of fact it has. Try 15 years ago, when we were coming off a Rose Bowl appearance with an 8-5 record. Despite the loss, people were ready to put T.W. in the Stanford coaching hall of fame.
