If my brain thinks we will win, I give a prediction based on my best rational analysis.  If my brain think we will lose, I give a prediction based on my heart.  This was a prediction based on my heart, (including the deepest level hate for SC) and I am so happy that the team and Coach Shaw rose to the occasion and brought home the convincing win.  I still want us to start seasons better on the road and turn our team loose to play without overthinking the game but that may just be a symptom of the kind of player that can get recruited and get past admissions and not a problem with Shaw's offense.  Shaw runs an offense that is not an old fashioned pound the run and grind like many think.  It is constantly adding new formations and plays based on the development of the game and on the skills of his players.  Shaw is a GREAT coach and I don't think we are likely to see a better Stanford coach in the next 20 or 30 years, assuming we stay in the game depending on the professionalism that infects the college game.  My first prediction win in my career is for a USC game.  I can retire happily, but will keep picking with my heart if needed.  
Cheers,
Pete F.
