Can I just say (as a very casual fan of our football team) that while no one likes to lose - ever - the perverse thing about being a Stanford fan is knowing that the Cardboarders will provide even more enlightening commentary in defeat than in victory. In the same way that I assess judicial quality by how a judge writes a dissent (which is often quite difficult) rather than a majority opinion (which is often quite easy), I think how fans unpack a defeat, diagnose weaknesses, and identify next steps is the true measure of their worth. And on this, y'all are exceptional. No pouting, no whining, no pejoratives, just substance. The breakdowns here are x100 the quality of the best I can find on any proprietary site!
