I hate visiting THE CARDBOARD when the constant bile and venom rises to its current level.  Makes me believe the Borg won after all, resistance is futile, and after a long fight we've all been assimilated. 

This board was founded and grew from Bootleg emigres who got tired of the humorless bashing, by a group known as the Borg, of another successful coach who could never succeed - Ty Willingham in his early and pre-Rose Bowl years.  It's not that the Cardboard Stepfords didn't criticize coaches - We certainly did.  Wlat Harris and Buddy Teevens were respectively known as Bob's Buddy and Bob's other Buddy here, but when criticisms send me back to reality ready to punch a hole in the wall, kick the dog, and renew my Zantac prescription then who needs to read a Stanford "fan" board?

Frankly Shaw deserves criticism for his recent efforts but inject a little levity and add something new to that 15th consecutive angry rant if not for yourself, than for the sake of the rest of us.  Add something new, give us a little dark humor, be entertaining ... or go all out and see a ray of hope somewhere.  A quick reminder that in the last 10 years we've watched 3 Rose Bowls, a Fiesta Bowl, more wins over ranked teams than any other Stanford coach in what is arguably the best 10 years of your Stanford football fandom.

I like the Cardboard but I also like to cultivate a generally sunny disposition when seeking an escape through sports.  I don't want to abandon another Stanford Board out of fear of being assimilated into a life devoid of sunshine and joy.  Nor do I want to drop football and spend the fall watching only Tara's team as a result of reading 25 identical and humorless Borg posts.

Cheers to all Stanford fans - Borg and Stepfords alike and, Go Card - I'll be there on Saturday.  While we'll probably lose I'll be cheering for better and leave knowing that for all it's issues the Cardboard is still a better read than any Domer board.  Let's keep it that way.

Friend of Ted (not Bob), I'm pretty sure.

I'm now so worn down I don't have the energy for the venom.  Just hoping that real, effective changes are made.  The performance numbers of the team this year have been, to put it mildly, not good enough.

Men's hoops tonight; and then 3+ women's hoops games that should be well-contested and (hopefully) fun to watch.  [Suspect I'll plunk down the $$ for Flovision, or whatever it's called].

And we'll all survive Saturday evening . . . even if it may not be that pleasant.

Go Cardinal!
