Over a decade ago, when I was doing some writing for The Bootleg, back when it had a good WCBB board, I interviewed Tara and Eileen Roche about scheduling.  Even back then they said it was very hard to get teams to schedule Stanford. When you see the schedule and say why is it like that, why do we play so many mid-week games, or why do we not have a more challenging start, the answer is that scheduling for Stanford has always been tough and has gotten tougher since the pandemic.  The coaches do not always get what they want.

I remember that article. It was really informative. Do you (or anyone) know if it's still online? I thought it had been posted on the FBC site, but maybe I am remembering wrong. I was a Bootleg member for a while and maybe only saw it there.

I don't know if it is still kicking around anywhere.  It was never posted on FBC but I think it was linked there.  I may have a copy saved somewhere.  Haven't thought about all those stories for years.  Glad it was informative.  I enjoyed my brief writing career.  Got to interview Tara, Amy Tucker, Eileen Roche and a bunch of players.  Got a media credential for the 2008 F4 and got to watch us beat UConn in the semis and go to the post-game presser where a sour Geno grumped about the game.  Fun stuff.
