As painful as it was to hear you retell the horror story of Big Game, I appreciate your takes and straightforward approach, Troy.

I am generally down with Papa John's take on the pain of the retelling and Troy's signature straight-ahead style. Where I went crosswise with TC was the insinuation that the game's outcome would be far different had Stanford cashed in on the early scoring chance when the weenies were practically handing them points. If Stanford had HAD the chops in the first place to capitalize then and there, this entire season would not be the smoking crater we're looking at today. The point is the program has produced a team athletically incapable of "cashing-in" in such circumstances. Thus, the outcome of Big Game. Thus, the outcome of 2021. The old computer programmers' term: GIGO.
