No doubt the ACC is soft enough to do damage in. The question is whether we are on the road to improvement. Very much an open question. But I’m looking forward to seeing if we can compete there.
Agree. It will be interesting to see what transpires. I expect that there will be problems that nobody anticipates at the moment. Similarly, there may be opportunities that we currently don't expect. Will be a "fun" ride in any case.
Agree 
I’m cautiously optimistic and hopeful in joining ACC
And wildly ecstatic compared to what crappy choices we seemed to have been left with as PAC imploded & B1G, and presumably B12, snubbed us

From where we are now, the road only goes in one direction. . . . .

I tend not to love that argument. It can always get worse, and improvement is not assured. That said, the worst Stanford team in modern decades was 2006, which was Sagarin #104, and right now we are exactly Sagarin #104. In all likelihood we will improve going forward. But I do think it’s an open question how much. We’ll see, just glad we can have some hope of a better future, which I don’t think has really been the case for us for about a half decade.

The offense is pretty much bound to improve. Take the so-sad-so-close loss tonight. Top four receivers are underclassmen. QB's young. It's probably gonna be a good offense, just need to find a decent running game somewhere. The defense...I dunno.

When the game was over, I felt a bit for the team, they gave all of what they had to give and came all so close.  I had and have no idea what happened in any other game other than I know that the Toe Jams were tied with Cal at some ridiculous score of like 43 to 43.  Who won I have no clue and really don't care. Once, I cared a lot about how a lot of teams did, now I only care about Stanford's team.  The Pac 12 was destroyed by mismanagement and greedy schools.  As far as I am concerned, don't let the door hit you on *** as you leave.

I'm a true CFB sicko and watch parts of pretty much all the P12 conference games, especially P12 After Dark. Having grown up on the conference and watched its ebbs and flows, it's going to be very hard to spend Saturdays without these games. I feel a need to enjoy it all while we still can, before everyone scatters to the wind.

I do hope we get at least one conference team in the playoff this year, if just to show that the West Coast belongs and get a little extra money as we walk out the door (though that will be litigated for a year or so - I expect some sort of settlement between the Leaving 10 and the Rump of 2).
