Losing a Big Game is one thing but being shut out by Cal in the Nobel race is frankly troubling. And UCSF has two promising Covid stem cell projects which could bring another Nobel down the road. What is happening down on the Farm?

It's very, very common for long-tenured college football coaches to have a clunker of a season after they've become well established at their schools.

Among coaches with a longer tenure than Shaw, only Mike Gundy, Dabo Swinney and Nick Saban have kept a continuous streak of winning seasons going.

Which takes us back to a memorable moment in time...

Background:  Stanford needed a first down in a critical part of the game.
Action:  Young man stands up in the student section, yelling, “I’d give a Sears Cup for a first down right about now.“
Question:  First down or a Sears Cup (now known as the Directors Cup); Nobel Prize or a Big Game win?  

You make the call....

The Physics department hasn't recruited well the last few years. No 5* commits that I know of right now.

It's a Stanford comeback!  Stanford (Paul Milgrom and Robert Wilson) sweeps the Economics Nobel, though I am sure our rivals will point out that it is technically the "Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel" and wasn't endowed in the original Nobel will.

Well BC, it wasn’t my post. How could a lowly state educated peon like myself venture out an opinion on the erudite private tower of brain power south of Menlo Park? I think that could be construed as a violation of the Magna Carta.
