From 1958 to 1968 and Plunkett we had that one winning season.  We were dead

In the five seasons from 1958 to 1963, Stanford's football team was 17-43 (thanks Jack Curtice!).  From 1964 to 1968, they didn't have a losing season, finishing 5-5 every year, except one year when they wen t6-3-1.  I'm sorry, I just don't think 5-5 is a dead season.  Mediocre, sure.  But compared to 0-10 or 1-11, it's wounded, not dead.
