That's the one word Shaw used to describe Stanford: http://espn.go.com/blog/pac12/post/_/id/75570/pac-12-coaches-describe-team-in-one-word

I think Shaw likes the Rodney Dangerfield approach. Serves as a motivator.

I was a bit blase about Shaw's word choice, but he seems to have successfully trolled 59er Insider, so I'll bump his grade up to a B+ there: http://bearinsider.com/forums/showthread.php?85520-Pac-12-coaches-describe-team-in-1-word

This all seems very Dean-Fred-Hargadon to me.

Back when I applied to Stanford, my word was "hopeful." Interestingly enough, that same word reflects my feelings about Stanford football 2014.

I love the word choice and I agree with it 100%.  When we are 6-0 heading to ASU I think we will be a lot more appreciated.

I would prefer underestimated to underappreciated.

I believe the connotations are more appropriate - one speaks to the desire to be admired, the other to the desire to be respected.
