I have never understood the Stanford obsession with joy re an opponent not being able to play. To be the best you need to beat the best. If OJ hadn't played in '68 a great game would have been an OK game and much less entertaining.

I see no posting here that expresses or hints at any joy regarding this.  Can you explain what you meant when you referred to "Stanford obsession with joy"?

I did but not at Robinson's fate, just at being able to go to the game.  I feel bad for the kid I hope he gets his degree and goes on to do great things.
