[ThePassionOfTheChryst]

Every year we seem to lose one or two commits to the admissions process.  I'm beginning to think this year it may be Long.  Its a shame, in every case, that a student really wanting Stanford doesn't make it.  From a football perspective it really hurts if we lose an athlete like Long.

I respect and appreciate the stringent admissions process.  I think it really sets Stanford apart from some of the (for example) SEC powers.  But when exceptional students who are also great football players (think Arrington Farrar) are sent away for not being quite exceptional enough, it does make you scratch your head a bit.
