The last couple of years have made me worry about the team and its direction. Biggest continuing issues I see are a bad streak of injuries and weak line play. With some trepidation, I will take the over for the simple reason that other than Utah and possibly the Domers, I don’t see any really good teams on our schedule. I would also say that other than the Utes, I don’t think there are really any teams in the league doing a good job at recruiting/developing talent on the lines. 

If the OL can get its act together and stay healthy, this offense should score a lot of points and be entertaining. Defensive line is a position group that looks thin and unproven, to put it politely. Not expecting much and I think we will continue to have problems stopping the run because of it. 

Making predictions about wins and losses is difficult to do in a vacuum, so I look at other teams strengths and weaknesses before making any predictions. I think Utah is the class of the conference, but after that, I don’t see a lot of quality. Addicted to Quack does some good, detailed work on Oregon opponents which I would recommend to others: https://www.addictedtoquack.com/2022/7/2...ompilation

weird stuff does happen, like the wins against Oregon and USC last year.

BC

And weird stuff like losing your last seven games by a combined total of 255-100 also happens.

Yeah, it is probably why both a 1-11 season and a 7-5 season are more probable than most of us expect.  It’s hard to connect The dots without the benefits of hindsight, but there is probably more variance to how the season plays out than we are prepared to allow.

This is how the season goes:

• Colgate 7 Stanford 9; more painful than a root canal.
  
• usc 10 Stanford 49; the Trees burst the condoms, B1G pulls the condoms membership, usc NIL's drop in $$$ faster than bitcoin.  
  
• Washington 28; Stanford 42; the Trees DB's save the day. The edge rushers start to show promise, Udub has no running game which saved the Trees from getting felled.
  
• Quackers 13, Stanford 45; the Trees go duck hunting and bag their limit, the Quackers are starting to develop a "Stanford Problem".
  
• Beves 21, Stanford 24; hunting beavers is harder than hunting quackers, but the Trees show resiliency, and are too hard for the beves to chew through.
  
• Delusional Domers 7, Stanford 42; Shaw calls the same running play (6 times) from the domer's 5-yard line and scores each time.  When asked why he called the same play, Shaw's response was "because we scored 7 times", the 7th time was Stephan Taylor's TD.
  
• Devils 3, Stanford 21; The Trees do just enough and fight through the long(travel) week following dumping the Domers.  Ray Anderson asks Bernie for any financial tips he might be willing to share regarding balancing the budget, Bernie says he has 11 tips that might be of help.
  
• Baby Bears 28, Stanford 56; Chip is still having problems with finding a DC and is starting to think that retiring to Florida and kissing off the B1G and the cold weather is the way to go. The B1G is now looking for two replacements for usc and ucla.
  
• The Cougs 0, Stanford 38; the Trees solve their WSU problem.
  
• Utes 14, Stanford 32; the Trees show how strong they have become up front which took the Utes by surprise after last year's game.
  
• Cal 3, Stanford 10; the Trees doing everything possible to lose, Shaw states they were just 4 plays away from an all-time record of points scored by Stanford in the Big Game.
  
• BYU 14, Stanford 21; the visitors spent too much time before the game at the Dutch Goose, Shaw states they were just 4 plays away from being a complete football team.
  
• Conference Championship Game: Cal 3, Stanford 77; Shaw says, "see what fours plays can do!".  Yes, Cal made the Conference Championship Game, ucla finishes 1-11, condoms finish 0-12.
  
• Bernie leaves Stanford, which goes unnoticed.
  
• Shaw retires and writes his mems and calls it "see what four plays can do".
  
• All the big money on Sand Hill Road is looking to cash in on Stanford Football NIL, but too their shock they are too late, the Thunderdome has locked up the Stanford Football NIL, which has a net worth greater than Amazon.
  
• While Stanford waits to see who their opponent will be in the National Championship Payoff, the Stanford Daily runs and in-depth article on the Thunderdome's NIL finances and discovers that ALL the $$$ has been spent on Tonga Juice.  When the Thunderdome's Board of Directors are asked why all the Tonga Juice, their response is "see what four plays can do!".
  

Maple Leaf, who the hell are you? Once Big Red died I guess I'm the oldest Thunderdome denizen. Bobbbb K doesn't count because he always gave the excuse that he was working in the HOF Room.

I did have a great conversation with THE DOC today. Going strong.
