OK, question for the fans:

Would you have traded all 5 wins yesterday (which would mean an early exit from the tournament for both soccer teams, not clinching the automatic bid for the WP tournament, losing out on a #1 seed in VB, and a disappointment in WBB) in exchange for beating Cal on Saturday?

BC

No.

After Colorado L, Stanford football going nowhere bowl-wise.  This was as good a Big Game to lose as any could have been, all things considered.

While there is never a good Big Game to lose, I agree with you, because while you want to win every Big Game, some Big Games (like Rose Bowl cliniching ones) are more important than others.

Still chaps my hide that this particular one clinched a Bowl Game for Cal and clinched a losing season for us.  But I'll take 5 wins (including a WP win over Cal in the MPSF final) over a Big Game win in a season that is already in the toilet.
