To those of you who are die hards, follow and still watch Stanford Football in its current state, is there any front on which to feel good about the program?

Feeling aggressive, are you?

Afaik, the players are intelligent, hard working young men.  I think the coaches, staff, and players are people that the University and fans can be proud of.

That can also be said of most opponents but maybe not all.

It is perhaps unfortunate that on the football field, they are not beating up on their opponents in the way that you wish, but fortunately  life is not a football season. 

I wonder whether you would be happier if Stanford threw in the towel on football — if the team isn’t ranked then it isn’t worth it.  I don’t know that Stanford is ready to do that for you. So perhaps you might just give up on Stanford football and invest your emotions in some other team, whether it be some other Stanford team, or some other football team.

I don't think anyone is particularly upset about Stanford not "beating up" on the teams they play. What they are expecting is for them to be somewhat competitive, which we haven't been lately.
That's not asking too much. Is it?
