I don't follow football that closely so I don't have an opinion about Shaw (seems like a nice guy in interviews) or the players.  However when I saw how empty the stands were I thought this is embarrassing to Stanford. 

It might be better for Stanford to focus on academics and do away with football.  Just have club sports or start a new west coast conference modeled after the Ivy League.

Well, we have considered that in the past and decided to stick with D-1 football. Taking the big picture into account we have done OK. Let's not overreact to a extraordinary bad loss.

What, exactly, should be considered an overreaction given the catastrophic humiliation the $7M per year David Shaw produced Friday night?
