I wonder what those same nine guys predicted for the football team. Hmm...let me guess...
There are folks who vote with their heart and others who vote with their brain. As a Stanford fan, I always vote with my heart. But yeah, even my heart cannot see an NCAA bid.
I considered doing a simple two-item poll: will, or will not, Haase be fired after the 2021-22 season? As you can see, I decided on the more finely grained poll, and it's producing some interesting results, IMO.
Going back to my original intent, only 7 out of 31 respondents so far are predicting that Haase will be fired by season's end. Even more interesting, 14 out of 21 respondents predict that Stanford will not make the NCAA tournament yet Haase will not be fired. That says much more about the AD than the coach, of course.
If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
