Let me see......

Sun Bowl 3 times in a decade is too much, but another trip to the Rose Bowl (making it 4 trips in 6 years) would have been ok.  Is that what I am reading? 10 years ago, who would have dared to even think Stanford would participate in 10 straight bowl games. 

I'm hoping the Sun Bowl does not bookend the run.

Speaking for myself, given how easy it is to get into a bowl game these days, I don't consider doing it a particularly noteworthy achievement.

Let's put it another way, for noteworthy achievements.  In the 10 straight years Stanford has been to a bowl, the team has won 77% of its games, INCLUDING the 5-4 bowl record with SoS that is borderline ridiculous every stinking year.  Stanford has NEVER had a nine year run like this.  Closest was Pop Warner, who won 80% of his games against not-spectacular opponents and was 1-1-1 in Rose Bowls.
