In the 1st quarter when Stanford went for it on 4th and 1 instead of kicking the field goal, the TV announcers quoted Reich as saying, "I'm not here for a long time. I'm here for a good time."

I liked the loose, gambler's mentality attitude.

We can and will pick apart the coaching on other threads. I just wanted to highlight how this year will be different than Taylor and the utterly joyless last couple of years of Shaw.

Frankly I don't think there's a difference between us going 3-9 for a 5th straight year or going 0-11. My judgment on this year will be:
- does the team keep fighting?
- can the coaches minimize the losses to the transfer portal at the end of the year?

Without this year's losses to the portal we easily would have won yesterday's game.

Very well said sir!!!
