The loss wasn't surprising, but a 35-12 halftime deficit to an 11-17 team definitely was.
I didn't realize we had become THAT bad,

Don’t be too hard on Hasse. He is a good  guy. 8700 people were at the game last night.  I think the crowd bothered Stanford. Not sure why so many showed but when no one has been going all year. Students sold out their allotment. There was-a Rapper there at half time so maybe that was the draw for them . Have not seen this large a crowd in 5 years. Maybe we meet again in the Pac 12 tournament although  it looks like we may get WSU the way the standings are now. Not sure why Keefe was so ineffective. He dominated Cal in Maples.

What does being "a good guy" have to do with ANYTHING in this context? There are a TON of "good guys" out there and many of them are coaching elite teams year after year. Every Stanford coach is "good guy". Being "a good guy" is a basic assumption (ergo, not specified in any job description). What Stanford needs today in hoops and football are coaches who can build and maintain A WINNING PROGRAM.  You know, the kind like in the past?
