I don't think anyone disputes the epic experience that we Stanford fans have had over the last seven years.  Quoting the truly amazing statistics that the team accumulated over that period does absolutely nothing to assess whether the momentum has been leaking out of the engine.

Having experienced a period of euphoria, anxiety arises about the signs the period might be drawing to a close.  All we need to do is rationalize 8-5 w/ discussions of the impact of injuries and sophisticated statistics that put our frustrations at ease.  In the meantime, the TWU membership roll is empty.  There really is no Intellectual Brutality.  We do not Party in the Backfield with regularity.

Yeah, I sure hope we aren't going to rationalize a 6-6 year by saying it continues our string of bowl games.
